Looking at the draw didn’t realise the teams in it if we play like we did against Liverpool and spuds we could go all the way but play like we did last week and nite.
22 Feb 2019 23:27:22
If Crystal Palace play like they did at City they could win the league, the league is a marathon and the cups a middle distance while one off games are only a guide to what could be but isn't in reality.

Auba.
I know he's still been scoring a few but for me he has been very average and not in the game much for quite a few weeks. Nothing like the start of the season
Something doesn't seem right with him.
22 Feb 2019 20:50:31
At the start of the season every shot he had on target was a goal for about 10 or more shots running but now he's struggling big time to have a real impact, form is my guess TG mate.
Strikers are usually hot or not without much in between, Salah couldn't buy a goal early season.

It's 30 years this May since we won the league at Anfield. To me it's my favourite Arsenal moment.
It's about time the club forgive and forget and erect a statue of George Graham.
2- league titles
2- league cups
1- fa cup
1- cup winners cup
Double winning player 71
He's not getting any younger, let's do it before it's too late.

Not sure about the statute but certainly it's time to draw a line under the past and welcome George back into the Arsenal fold, home if you like.
No George before Arsene no invincibles and our greatest moment ever.
Your right Mark it's no good letting the past go retrospectively which is always the easy way out, it's time to forgive and forget and give the man his own special place in the stadium.
Hopefully he will bump into Emery at some point too :-)
22 Feb 2019 23:02:44
Well said malaga.
22 Feb 2019 18:50:44
Where's Steve?
22 Feb 2019 20:05:21
Ironically he got fed up with people moaning about the manager :-)
You couldn't make it up could you :-)
Love you really Steve and hope your ok mate.
22 Feb 2019 23:01:53
Just seen Steve and the Raver driving up the M1, looking for a service station that's open, cause the Raver has the munchies.
Does anyone believe that.
22 Feb 2019 23:04:14
He’s done enough moaning for us all lol.
23 Feb 2019 13:06:44
Mala, were they in a golf cart by any chance?
23 Feb 2019 14:47:47
I thought it was just taking his time finding a positive to bring to the table on Emery and gave up :)
23 Feb 2019 17:30:11
They were sharpie.

Hi Guys,
I would love to understand why there so much Xhaka hate, I really feel he’s great at what he does and he’s being criticised unfairly.
Your opinions, pls.
Thanks.
22 Feb 2019 08:35:33
Personally I find it as baffling Trying to understand what you do see in him as it is for you to understand what 95% of fans and pundits don't see in him.
I've really tried to see what the other 5% see but no matter how much I watch him I just can't see what it is that you think is so good Sen mate.
To me he's not even Marmite because even marmite is 50/ 50, he's more like a salt sandwich, I just can't see the appeal at all.
22 Feb 2019 09:28:15
I think most people's opinion of Xhaka was formed when Wenger played him as our only DM. He lacks pace and isn't great at tackling, so he struggled badly. He also has 99% great distribution, but that 1% usually means he's put us in a very bad position.
However I think since Emery paired him and Torreira he's played like a new man, he's far less exposed now and when he plays we move the ball really well. Ultimately I think he has to work to improve his positioning and cut out the stupid mistakes but I think he's been quite good this season and it takes a while for opinions to change.
22 Feb 2019 14:32:30
Xhaka is no doubt a superb passer and plays with 110% passion. He can definitely dictate the play against teams who play deep, however he crumbles when he is put under pressure from opposition midfielders/ attackers (which is something a lot of the better teams do now in the prem) . He tends to be caught out in possession a lot, and considering how deep he drops to pick up the ball, dispossession can lead to goal scoring opportunities for the opposition. I personally don't feel like he's adapted to this in his 3 seasons so far, and therefore feel like he is a liability against the better, pressing teams. Seems like one of those players to me that would flourish in most leagues but unfortunately not the premier league.
22 Feb 2019 17:49:52
I stuck up for him as I though Wenger let him down by playing him out of position. We miss him when he doesn’t play as we have no creativity or organisational plan. But to be fair, he just doesn’t think quick enough for EPL. I have to say I was wrong and agree with what Steve was saying about him years ago. I stuck up for him and will do no more. He’s probably our best option at present but we need to upgrade. Hence w miss him but he’s not the answer. Think that’s probably why Emery sticks with him.
I am more concerned that he picks Iwobi over Ozil or others over Rambo and Ozil leaving us threadbare of creativity and no more cover in defence.
23 Feb 2019 05:10:25
sen i would be interested to know what you regard as "hes great at what he does" his tackling and positioning is really poor and has often left us in trouble and has caused him problems through out his career with regular red cards and as a deep midfielder is an essential atribute whether you regard that as out of position is a debate, but its where he's been deployed the most in his career. his passing is also overrated his percentages are bulked up by frequent sideways passes and he often makes lazy misplaced passes that once again leave us in trouble, he's made 7 errors leading to goals in the league since he's been here the most of our players, he's an absolute liability.
23 Feb 2019 09:02:58
He's a salt sarnie Eden but strangely some people enjoy him, It's bizarre how some people really rate a player while the majority struggle to see anything in them at all.
I genuinely rated Emile Heskey and always thought England played betrer as a team with him than without him but nearly all my mates moaned when he was selected, Emile yes but Xhaka I'm struggling with, and I've tried hard to see what is good about him too.
23 Feb 2019 15:04:23
Heskey strikes me as a bit like giroud, players loved playing with him, because he was unselfish and worked hard for the team. But rarely did anything eye catching to excite fans and when your a striker who doesn't score goals that's all that stands out to fans. maybe a bit harsh on giroud, remember that scorpion kick!? 😊.
24 Feb 2019 04:24:14
He passes sideways consistently as though he cares more about stats than winning, and at least one every game he will give the ball away in a daft position gifting the opposition a very good chance on goal. That, added to the fact that he brings the team nothing more than an extra body, make his repeated selection utterly baffling.
