I have a huge man crush on Holding. I think he has tremendous potential. We should be careful with the responsibility we put on him though. We don't need him to feel the pressure like Iwobi did this season.

Holding, Mustafi, and Koscienly are all extremely comfortable on the ball. I think right now the back 3 really suits our defenders. Imagine if they were well drilled like Conte's Chelsea.

Think this is a sign of Wenger staying. I've seen rumors that if he does stay it would only be for 1 more year. Hopefully it means we are seriously looking into a director of football and then a new manager.
this is what I've concluded after reading things.
It might be a 2 year contract, but it seems like we're looking ahead to the post-Wenger era

I wish we would go ahead and hire Jardim from Monaco.

The Allegri rumors have died down, and getting him at any point would be a coup.

We need tactical direction. The modern game is determined by it. Players want it too.

I think he'd be a real good hire.

Heck, I think honestly Mancini would be a good get. I haven't seen anyone mention his name about the job, but he's won the league before and had a great winning percentage in England.

Strong lineup. Get some early goals and then rest Ozil and Sanchez.

I know it wouldn't be the most defensively sound lineup, but I would rather Gabriel play in Monreal's spot and move Monreal to wing back. At least he could provide some service for Giroud. Gibbs is so vanilla out there.

Yea I think Gibbs is gone this summer. He's always hurt and struggles to find form because of it.

The only change I'd make to our lineup is putting Gabriel in the back 3 instead of Monreal and dropping Gibbs. Otherwise I think we should have a good chance of winning.
As long as we start off with our foot on the gas and get a few goals we can afford to sub off Alexis and Ozil to rest and let Theo/Welbz get time in. Maybe Iwobi, too.

Half.

Great job looking lethargic and fricking around with the last place team with top four at stake.

Sorry I forgot to insult them:

"They are a bunch of kids you would want to introduce to your daughter. But they are not aggressive premier soccer players. They lack a mean streak play without heart"

Well that worked again. Lol.

Their goalie is a freaking beast. Pickford, somebody is going to snatch him. Might be good pick up for us. Not sure how many years Pec has left

I think y'all know what time it is.
Sell Ospina and buy Pickford. Heck, sell one of Cech or Szczesny if ya want. Pickford is a player and if he keeps this up he's the English #1 in Russia next year

Very very impressed with him. He has second most saves in premier league and his defense is garbage. This would be blowout without him.

They are not even trying now

Not this summer but he could leave if Spurs fail to push on next season. He's a top class GK.

He's a great keeper. he and Kos have a great partnership for the national team, I know it'll never happen but it'd be great if he made the short drive to the Emirates every day to make that connection even stronger
