Thanks breh, watched some LVG Utd games, weird how similar the teams have turned out to be. A lot of possession, getting usurped by bus parking teams who then score against the unorganised defence.

In 2015-2016 season you lost against Swansea, us, Bournemouth, Norwich, Stoke, Southampton, Sunderland, WBA, Spurs, West Ham. You lost out on CL by goal difference with City. I would say this was where we were LAST SEASON. We lost out on CL by 1 point. What we have now is probably what would have ended up at United if LVG had another season, more decline.

I.e. As I have been saying, the money that has been spent has been spent poorly, £35m on Mustafi and £35m on Xhaka could have been spent a lot better, the management and coaching has been wack. Who knows? If Wenger knew how to coach nowadays those two may have been excellent buys. Now really is the time to get rid of Wenger.

Alex Song has been released by Rubin Kazan and is training with Arsenal while he looks for a new club.

Scenes when we sign him at the 11th hour on a free, would be the most Arsenal signing ever and would be better than Elneny and Xhaka at this point.

Can't wait for one of our own players to speak out against Arsene and reveal the trade secret every gunner knows:
He can't organise a defence or a midfield

Just gets better for Arsenal

At least you guys can still create chances, under LVG it would be an absolute miracle if we even created 2 chances in 1 game. It was terrible.

Ozil has signed wow, does this mean Wenger is off? It will be hilarious if he also signs a 1 year extension #LetTheMugabeRegimeContinue :rofl:

We need a revolution. Overthrow Arsene "Mugabe" Wenger.

In Ozil and Auba we have players that resemble the Arsenal of old. Ozil to play Bergkamp role, Auba to play Henry role: number 14. If we don't build around this we will regret it big time.
Working out to be a pretty good January for you guys.
Rollercoaster. Sums up this club perfectly, they will have ridiculous results then pull you straight back in with hopes and dreams:





Arsenal Legends.

Mkhi's agility was great, he spins away from defenders very quickly. I remembered he pinged a great cross into the box but no one anticipated it. Could be like a new Hleb.

Our attack is pretty stacked now. Really not sure about Xhaka in CM in this league, it seems too quick and intense for him, everytime opponents press him on the ball he has a mistake in him, it's not a matter of "if", but "when... I remember Arteta honestly being better than that. Even under pressure on the ball, Wilshere is levels ahead of him. Wilshere can actually glide past players and evade the press.

Lol at Xhaka.

Guy was picking his nose instead of following Cleverley’s run when you lost to Watford.

Xhaka I think will be good at cm if there's a solid dm behind him and a good box to box. I can imagine him being an a level tonight kroos. Kroos obviously is PhD with 5 years experience.

Noticing a pattern here...

The Firmino goal on that list (!) was due to a really careless chip pass in his own half ffs. Same game he tried to backheel the ball to Cech and missed, conceding a corner. Guy is literally an outfield Barthez.

Also forgot this one: https://www.footballinsider247.com/arsenal-fans-react-twitter-xhaka-display-bournemouth/

Wow Xhaka be legit sleeping 😂😂

Im surprised a professional footballer lacks basic instinct to close the space and stop that pass from happening, its literally so basic.

"Hearing whispers (nothing concrete) Arsenal have been exploring possibility of signing David Luiz from Chelsea as part of Giroud deal - as per @DavidWoodsStar yesterday - or Roma’s Kostas Manolas. Would be one or other, no idea if it will happen. Defence a clear concern #AFC #CFC"

...

Club is shook. Either would be upgrades on the rubbish we have. Would play Elneny CDM, David Luiz/Manolas as sweeper CB and send Xhaka on his way in the summer. Don't see where Xhaka can fit into the team, not good enough at CDM, not technically good enough playing further forward.

Ornstein is using Daily Star as a source.

Not happening. I’m ITK. Called the Ozil contract last week as well.
