The Arsenal Thread XIX

Well, De Boer's philosophy does fit Arsenal quite well and would add some pragmatism that AW is lacking, as it's based on possession, attacking football with high pressing. Not sure whether he would stick with his Ajax formation but he plays 433, which I think could work out. Klaassen's/De Jong's and Serero's roles would suit Özil and Ramsey respectively, perhaps even better than the current system as De Boer's is quicker in its build-up play going forward. Although it would require a high workrate as well.

For that AFC would need a better DM, a proper left winger that isn't another midfielder to rotate with Cazorla depending on the opponent, and of course a better/different striker than Giroud- i.e. all positions Arsenal need strengthening in anyway.

Nooooo woke up to the sad news of Moyes' sacking.

Not sure if trolling
Not sure if sarcasm
Not sure if sad that UTD gonna improve
Not sure if secret Moyes fanboy(girl)
Not sure if I know what I'm even saying

Wenger would probably survive a season of not qualifying for the CL though. I get why it is important to qualify but I seem to remember Chelsea getting stick for sacking Scolari. But this is not unique at the top. Norwich sacked Hughton hoping to get something from the Fulham match by the looks of it, and the average tenure of Championship managers is quite short, because of the financial gravy train promotion gives.

His bias is pathetic, he never turns up when we're doing well and as soon as we lose a game he comes crawling out of the woodwork. He uses 5 years old videos of a team that contains almost none of the same players to criticise a defensive system that he has never done for any other team at all. Has predicted Liverpool to win the league year on year since 2005, too.

He's pathetically biased, fans of every club bar Liverpool can see it, you lot are just delusional.

aww diddums did big bad Alan tell you that you were ****?

If he's highlighting something from a few years ago with none of the same players, do you not think it could be him highlighting that Wenger has systemically had the same problems in defensive organisation, and has been stubborn about it and not changed them? (something I've been telling you lot for the last few months). He's actually consistent about it as well, I remember an MOTD last year with a London derby in it, in which Hansen ****ing ripped into your defence and Spurs' defence for your high lines, and this season when discussing your highline, they referred to that same game.

Yeah, I'm sure he's predicted a Lpool league win every single year since 2005. Very plausible. In any case, predictions (ie foresight) are unrelated to analysis (hindsight/forensics). Here are Gary Neville's start of season predictions, http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2394832/Jamie-Carragher-Gary-Neville-Premier-League-preview.html , his predicted Champions are languishing in 7th. AKA Neville is a **** pundit right?

You're ****, Hansen tells you that you're ****. He has a bone to pick with your defence, your weak mentality, and the fact that you're spineless bottlers. He has no bias against any other team, even at the half way point of the year, he was saying Rooney/RvP are a better striker partnership than Suarez and Sturridge. What I've noticed is that he's a definite traditional, he values proven successes and experience much more than youth and newcomers, but he is not biased towards Liverpool like you say. And even if he is, pretty much every pundit out there is biased a little towards their old club. Hansen ****ing jizzes himself every time that Silva comes on screen, more so than any Liverpool player, and is likewise complimentary of Everton players.

You're ****, Hansen tells you that you're ****, get over it.

Lol.

Sit down, son.

De Boer and Bergkamp should should form the management team for Arsenal because "They know what they're doing" Is that all you can say for them, what is that statement based on? There's no analysis of their tactics, no strength or weaknesses and no mention of his managerial style.

Be honest you only mentioned De Boer because Ajax are doing well and Bergkamp is an Arsenal legend. I bet you've never watched an Ajax game at all this season.

Your just mentioning names mate. You don't have a clue about who should take over, neither do I tbf but for sure I'll form a more comprehensive argument for my candidate to take over Arsenal than "They know what they're doing"

How many impartial pundits are there anyway?

His salary has nothing to do with it, and right, thanks for just skipping out the bits where he specifically points out which errors the defence has made. Cba arguing this, you hate the guy because he tells you what you are

Neville
Dixon
Lawrenson (mostly)
Keane (anti-everyone)

Im not sure Gary Neville is as impartial as he is due to the comments I have seen from Utd fans who have frequently stated that Gary is not going full blown on his criticism of Moyes. If you work in media, you should not do that. It's the same with Ian Wright when he stops short of calling for Wenger's sacking despite the damning criticism he's given of Arsenal. Lee Dixon is a good shout. Wouldn't really call Lawrenson as a pundit tbh.

You are probably the only person on the planet that supports his analysis. That should tell you enough. Granted his criticism of our defence is generally valid, my point is he only focuses on that, he has nothing nice to say about us in the slightest. We could win a game 6-1 and the MOTD analysis would be 95% about how useless we were at defending the 1 goal conceded. They also very selectively show highlights for us, missing ridiculous fouls against us and showing the majority of ours, even Dixon complained about that when he was on the show. It's not a conspiracy it's establishment bias and Hansen epitomises that.

As for predictions this season was impossible to predict, not a single person predicted United as 7th. There's a difference between that and saying this is Liverpool year on MOTD year on year from 05.

He still hasn't gotten over '89 and never will. Good riddance.
