Football Thread 2014/15 |OT6| Daley Blind Is a Hack Of a Player

7/10 (Arsenal fan) yet loose but we have been struggling to find our best form. Humbled by Dortmund but some resilient displays.
However as I'm sure Wenger is also wondering, what the hell is our best team. Wiltshere wants to play centrally in the hole, which with displays like his MOTM performance against city isnt a bad shout however as Ozil showed, he can only really play well as a number 10 (for the time being). We are still looking for that perfect blend of attack, defense, pace, retention of possession etc.
Arteta is weak link, I think wenger has known that for a while, and its not arteta is a fault he's doing a job that doesnt play to his strengths. I hope Debuchy isnt out for 3 months because if so we are very light on defense.
Sanchez... gosh this guy is going to be scintillating, love his work rate and has a great touch, can is actual dribbler, doesnt just beat his man with pace, which I like to see.
Dubechy was doing really well, and Callum has settled in well (although prone to the odd error or two).
I think Welbeck is a GREAT signing, from now one mate, its head down, practise practise practise. The story of Ronaldo's conversation from potential into world class is the epitome of practicing
We need to get a lot better if we are going to be taken seriously, I mean bar a late resurgane from Diaby as a holding midfielder (and this guy is faaarrr to attack minded to be this) I think we may fall short.
Gattuso meltdown :lol

Sheffield Wednesday - 9/10
We sold our best player the week before the season started and various combinations of our remaining best players, including our first choice central midfield, have been and still are injured. Yet we are 6th, only conceded 4 goals and only lost 1 game; to the current leaders and the team I expect to win the division handsomly come May.
Also, Stevie May is a God amongst men.
Only negative is the sucker punch we conceded in the 94th minute to draw 1-1 at home to Millwall. But they're a decent side and these things happen.
Fucking delighted. Stuart Gray has got to be a candidate for manager of the calendar year across any division for the job he's done with us.

Also, De Gea has been a very average keeper till date. Not sure what's happening there.
It's the dodgy backline in front of him.

For United or the premier league in general? I don't think he will get much competition for United

It must be nice for Man Utd GAF to not look at Young in the starting lineup.
Ra's is working him too hard and he's doing too much on his own.
Its strange to me that Di Maria has looked dead after 70mins in all of his games, he was always touted as an engine but hes pulled up for cramp twice now

If he gets injured, not only do we have a crocked defence but we have an attack with no pace or impetus.
God help us
If Blind or Herrera joins him, then you're definitely doomed.

He didn't really have a pre season. He played vs Atletico and Fiorentina, but that's it. I think he'll start playing 90 minutes starting next week.

If Man Utd buy Strootman, Blind will want to leave surely?
Steverulez
Member
Mata to Roma, he can join his buddy Cole in storming Serie A
Will be played more as a utility man I would guess. Left midfield, left back, maybe centerback even? in a midfield pairing with Strootman.
u wot m8 he just joined.
Blind can play left back seeing as Gaal hates fatty Shaw.

We can fit 4 midfielders. Roma and Juventus do it. If we get CL, we can rotate.
The_Hitcher89
Member
Oh yeah, forgot he can play LB. Maybe a midfield trio of Strootlord, Blind and Herrera could work as well, with a front 3 of Di Maria-Falcao-Rooney

Think if we get Stroolord then Di Maria will definitely go to the wing in a 4-3-3. Would have no problem with that.

Just watching the game back and the atmosphere at the Lane is shocking, I think it's a real problem for us. It was like a morgue for the entire match, I get that the fans expect entertainment but where is the support for the team? It was embarrassing and all it does is help the opposition.
Some of the people in the stands need a reality check, we don't have Bale, Modric and Van Der Vaart anymore, our midfield is not world class yet they expect us to swat teams aside.

You mean Di maria-Rooney-RVP. Rooney and RVP are the Young and Valencia of last year, Absolute shit, absolutely undroppable. Please Gaal swallow your pride and make the right decision. Drop Rooney for Mata, drop RVP for Wilson. Let us thrive.

A lot of the big teams have shit home support. The difference between home support and away support is big.

Marie is amazing.
2 goals and 2 assists in 2 games.
And he only meant one of them.
What a star!

Goal of the season
Looks like Kelly had a decent game for Palace. Howard's fuckups are never dwelt on, as relatively rare as they are.
Come back Martin
edit: Jesus, West Brom are all over Spurs so far, watching MotD. Blatant handball by Adebayor too

At least we've got players the opposition will fear in him and Rumbo, now that RVP and Rooney are semi-retired.
Vivalaraza

Rumbo's cross was so amazing. Left footed aswell. It's so nice to have some quality in the final third. And Andy making those tackles.
Also Delle Alpi is shit. He's going to play for bottom/middling PL clubs for a few years and then go back down to his rightful level.

If he's lucky he might be the new Will Hughes.
lol
What is this based on?
Are you judging players on youtube again Viva?
tut tut
Also it's Dele Alli.

I have no idea how you're talking about but I'm quite sure he doesn't matter.

Linny mad that somebody said bad things about real football.
I'm chatting shit, so here is a pithy deflection
I really couldn't give two hoots if you slag off the lower leagues with your uninformed tripe gathered from youtube clips. But don't be surprised if I call you out on it m8
At the end of the day i'm just a lower league hipster really. An outlier.
It's time.

I'm just tired of seeing Llorente lumbering upfront, it's time for a change

Kagawa only played like 20 minutes that game. Leave him alone you bully.

The only lower league player I've ever YouTubed is Zaha.
Delle Alli isn't worth the time.

That will be Costa.
Llorente set up like 70% of our chances in the last few matches, but yeah. I want dat Pogba - Coman - Morata. If not vs. Cesena ... when?!
Sucks about Caceres. He was playing like a boss.
