Saving this game as a comeback when people say they won’t watch MLS because of the trash defending

Disagree. He's a superb runner from midfield. He can run for days and can tackle when he wants to. When he was more disciplined in midfield, he averaged nearly three tackles a game. He's certainly a better player on the ball than Jordan Henderson. He needs coaching in terms of discipline but he's a superb player, technical, has passing range, and could play pretty much anywhere. He suffers from the idea that he can be Steven Gerrard circa 2008, when he's actually better as a all everything midfielder.


I used to be very high on him.

Idk if it was Wenger, injuries or what, but I feel like he's regressed a good bit as a player the last two years.

This awful. Arsenal playing a high line and letting Chelsea walk in. Chelsea just letting Arsenal get to the end line and cut balls back.

Ramsey only started caring about goals and bombing forward all the time. We had no one in the team who could tell him to stay back. Under the right manager he's a great box to box player, but Wenger let him do what he wanted, ergo, he never defended anymore. He could fit really well in Klopp's system, as he has a fantastic engine.

Other than that we don't really have anyone who could fit in the top 6. Laca is a good player, but he's not worth 50 mil. Xhaka and Mustafi are very stupid despite having good technical qualities.

Arsenal needs a new backline in the worst way. The young midfielders look promising, though, but we've needed a new backline since 2015. Also this shows how much we miss Koscielny. He's an incredibly underrated CB.

I think he would excel in our current team...



As he ages I think he'll become a superb DLP, which is the position he excelled in before his injury.

I thought Andreas Christensen was the golden boy in defense there and he can't even get a game
