Arsenal Banter Archive February 04 2018

Something I have noticed the last few games and especially yesterday. There seems a lot more togetherness. When we score it's good to see the team looking more like a team. Not saying it was all down to Alexis but they all seemed a lot happier and more of a team since this was sorted.

04 Feb 2018 22:26:29
Can't remember who, but when Sanchez left, one of the player's posted that there was a lot more harmony in the dressing room.

04 Feb 2018 23:06:09
16 - very true. Almost entire team celebrated the goals.

Great to see.

04 Feb 2018 23:48:13
It is great to see. Not saying it's all down to Alexis but does seem a lot of negativity has gone for now.

05 Feb 2018 20:02:31
Dags it was Elneny who posted it. I completely agree with you guys.

At first when we were about to sign PEA i, as most of us do, went to youtube to watch his goals. And i thought but most of these goals are tap ins, and then i saw this video:

04 Feb 2018 18:42:23
He’s deadly mate.

04 Feb 2018 18:59:12
Raver, when did I say I wanted spurs to win against Liverpool?

04 Feb 2018 14:43:28
First player to record a hat-trick of assist's in PL this season?

Yeah, you know who 😀.

04 Feb 2018 14:53:45
O'zil?

04 Feb 2018 15:12:09
Seamus O'Zil 😁.

04 Feb 2018 16:08:54
That's him Dags :-)

Interesting listening to john cross about wenger and arsenal. He is right about the jekyl and hyde performances and the fact, not stregthening the defence could come back and bite him. Sanchez was blamed as well as other things but Swansea had nothing to do with sanchez. If we don't win the league cup and EL cup, that will be the end. If this team wants to play for wenger, then they will show it week after week. If they dont, they will carry on being Jekyll and hyde. They are either playing for themselves or they are playing for arsenal football club, last chance saloon now.

We never seem to get it right.

Great home form and crap away, or versa visa.

One of the things that I really like about PEA is how much he absolutely loves scoring goals, hopefully there won't be one but if and when our team implodes at Utd Chelsea City Liverpool or wherever and we find ourselves 5 nil behind with 5 minutes to go I get the feeling PEA will still be giving 100% in order to get himself on the score sheet.
Just the impression I get from him but I think his top priority is him scoring as many goals in as many games as possible and the team being successful too coming a close second.
Maybe I've got him wrong but it's just the impression I've got from him and I don't think it's a bad thing at all for the team to have a striker who is that hungry for goals whatever his motivation.

04 Feb 2018 11:46:08
Agree I think all top sides have that selfish striker in their side we want the forward that will shot on site and not look for another pass.

04 Feb 2018 11:48:58
I hope he can keep the balance and know when he’s going overboard. He looks like a fun guy to have around. I also like his confidence when asked if it was the first of many he said probably and like when other names have to come to the club they usually take pressure off themselves and distance themselves from comparisons. This guy says I wanna be the next Henry . He is going to score a lot of goals. Can’t stress enough how important that goal and performance was yesterday.

04 Feb 2018 15:16:31
i think lacca will get loads of goals to put them both upfront we will score loads.

04 Feb 2018 16:27:22
I would play them both Stephen but I don't think Arsene will
I'd have
PEA Laccazette down the middle
With Mesut Ramsey and the new Irish lad playing behind them and a back 5, teams walk through our midfield anyway so I'd ditch it and play a 5 5 formation and rely on the front 5 causing more problems for the opposition than our defence causes itself :-)

04 Feb 2018 18:29:14
Gunner, no midfield has to be better than xhaka. Genius.

04 Feb 2018 09:55:48
Right, can we get this sorted out now.
Is he Auba, PEA or Ding Dong? 😉.

04 Feb 2018 10:07:25
Why don't we meet half way and call him Ping pong ;-)

04 Feb 2018 10:52:41
G62,
Ping Pong Pea? 😂.

04 Feb 2018 11:10:00
PPI? Always seems to find a way of getting through no matter what anyone does to stop him, matched with the depth touch of an Ed033 quip and the tenacity of an RG thread :-)

{Ed's Note - we have posted a new article entitled, Review Of The Day 4th February 2018

04 Feb 2018 00:33:26
That Irish fella we have upfront is quality.
3 great assist's.

04 Feb 2018 00:45:17
Iwobi over 90 minutes isn't a premier league player but have got to say he had some good touches today and a hand in 3 of the 5 goals, good day his standards and lot better than his usual standard.

04 Feb 2018 07:59:09
What I liked about Iwobi yesterday was, particularly in the first half, he worked tirelessly and was helping defend when we lost possession. In the second half he eased off a bit and looks to lack stamina, which he needs to build on. He has natural talent and strength in abundance, but would improve with a coach that worked on his fitness and durability.

04 Feb 2018 09:37:33
Iwobi isn't Irish.
I'm talking about the Irish fella upfront who had 3 assists.

04 Feb 2018 09:46:22
The lad has some talent but should be be learning on the job or be premier league ready in order to represent Arsenal?
Personally I think that is one of our major problems we have too many players who aren't premier league ready to ever challenge for big prizes, Xhaka and Iwobi are the two that stand out most as being passengers most of the time in almost every game.
To win titles the first thing you need is 11 players who play a significant part in almost every game and no team that carries 1 let alone 2 players very often is ever going to win anything over 38 games.
You don't need 11 great players to win or compete for a title but you do need 11 players who play a significant part and contribute towards the team for 90 minutes.
Leicester didn't have 11 great players that season but they certainly didn't carry any passengers along the way to winning the title.
Get Iwobi out on loan and either let Xhaka go or let him go out on loan too.

04 Feb 2018 10:09:17
Your getting confused Dags mate, it Ozil not O'zil mate.

04 Feb 2018 10:55:31
G62,
It's Mick O'Tarian lol, but Steve nicked my joke in an earlier post 😁.

04 Feb 2018 11:26:40
No Dags i didn't nick it, you got in first, i just translated.

04 Feb 2018 11:29:04
Agree gunner iwobi should be on loan somewhere learning a position.
