The Arsenal Thread XIX

He's not over-rated by us. He's a good left back and fits into our system well. You can easily tell the difference when Monreal plays and when Gibbs play. No one claims that he's a world beater like how Liverpool fans rate Sterling, Flanagen, and err... Gerrard (past it)

I cba finding quotes. You definitely said Wenger was a failure and Rodgers is a better manager because "he's going to win the league in his second season" and has had less time to develop his squad.

don't backtrack

Wenger has failed this season, and I'm dubious of his supposed achievements in keeping you guys afloat for the past decade. I've asked repeatedly for better explanation and all you've done is given me a graph. When I ask more questions you can't answer them, no-one can. Rodgers has by far done a better job this year.

Never back tracking mate. Telling the truth on your thread. You'll all come round soon enough.

So basically you're saying Gibbs >> Monreal. No ****ing ****. Everyone knows that. Says nothing about Gibbs' quality or lack of it.

No-one has ever said that Flanagan is a world beater. Sterling has been a world beater for the last 6 months. If you can't see that, you're blind. Likewise Gerrard (poor last three games though).

The subtlety of threading water, whilst having essentially zero to spend in the transfer market, other than what he could raise through profits from selling players, is no doubt lost on you.

So this is how it works:

-Wenger maintains CL football for 9 years:''yeah but where's the trophy? he's failed''
-Rodgers qualifies once whilst Wenger wins* the FA Cup in addition: ''Clearly Wenger has failed and Rodgers has succeeded''

Is this an intelligent conclusion?

I did elaborate on the graph but you didn't reply. Go back and find the post if you're so interested.

Honestly, you are trying to make an argument over nothing. If you can cherry pick where Gibbs, Koscielny and Mertesacker have been poor we can cherry pick where Gerrad, Sterling and Flanagen have been poor. It works both ways, and the way you analyse a player is over a season, not based on a performance, like you have done (after the Liverpool game for example)

You make it out as if we are unable to criticize our players which is utter nonsense. Every player in our starting line up has, at one point, been criticized. Last season? Ramsey, Walcott, Gervinho, Vermaelen, Kocsielny, Mert, Giroud, Arteta, Szcz. This season? Wilshere, Arteta, Podolski, Giroud, Cazorla, Monreal, etc.

what's your point

I think his form here will be quite different to his form in Spain.

It obviously may well improve but I can see him struggling to settle in for the first season or so

Doubt it. We just need a physical presence in the box who's on form but can also lay it off to the midfielders.

yeah lol I highly doubt it as well.

Been repping that guy for ages. Watch as he rips up this league. 20 league goals I reckon.

Did he just say none has ever said Flanagan was a world beater?

Guess he's oblivious to the Cafu anointment. I mean, it's only gone viral but selective amnesia and all that.

Same here. 20 league goal guy. Although knowing our tactics I see it being around 15 goals but with him ripping up defences. Think Sturridge/Aguero will get top goalscorer next season if they're fit tho.

Atlético are probably more physical than majority of premier league teams so I don't think Costa will have any adapting problems to the league which is known for it's tenacity. Atlético play at a high tempo as well with a lot of work rate.

Hey the FA cup screening tickets are on general sale! Who's going?

I thought everyone had him on ignore tbh.

Better atmosphere down the pub tbh

aw pete thought you took me off mate x

can't hack the truth eh

White Dress, you sound familiar.

It's straight up G, matchday G, I'm a G, abcdefG.
