Watching AMN chase down guys in Europa reminds me of the good times when Bellerin could still do that. He hasn't been the same player since his ankle injury.

Damn nbc gold
Anyways Jack is about to cement his spot in the first team. Rambo will have to fight either Xhaka or Ozil to get back in

Why does jack always seemed to be fouled more than anyone? It's crazy.

Even from a few years ago, it's just hack a jack.

It's because he has really quick feet and releases the ball at the last possible second. Very similar to Hazard in that respect.

It's mostly his quickness coupled with the runs he makes. He drives at people relentlessly, and he's too quick for most defenders along with his ability to flick pinpoint passes in very tight spaces. It's easier to just take him down before he undresses them.

Yeah he does have quick touches, but I just hold my breath everytime someone hacks his ankle or collides with his knee.

Ozil is dropping deep a bunch today. He and Jack seem to have a good understanding with each other.

I think Sanchez could use a break. He's been so off form this season.

Wenger has to go, this club needs better.

Why sub Welbeck in for Iwobi and shove him out rt? It makes no sense.

The final 3rd is just, do whatever. They have no plan to attack.

shite gets tiring watching this over and over again against shite clubs.

I’ve punted on this team emotionally until Wenger is gone, and even then I’ll be skeptical because of how we are run.

It does make the game less frustrating.

Some thoughts
- Wilshere was pretty good to great. Probably our best player. Would love to see a Xhaka-Ramsey-Wilshere 3 at some point for fun.
- How does Theo not even get a look any more? He surely can offer something going forward.
- Giroud is a super sub and nothing else.
- Maitland-Niles surprised me. Very good showing.
- Wtf is Kosc doing lately on the ball?
- hindsight is 20-20 but we clearly should’ve sold Alexis

I see the same shite every game. Dominate possession. We get to the final 3rd of the field and we do not know what the frick is going on. We pass to each other right outside the 18 until someone losses it ( 7/10 times it's Sanchez). Or send a through ball in that's just past our CF.

Then we lose possession and are vulnerable on the counter bc we have a 3 defenders that are 52 years old. Why isn't Chambers playing before Per?

There has to be someone within the organization that sees this. I'm not a fricking zen.

I really hate the way we play. We've played like shite since Santi has been injured. God I miss that man.

Jack was good yesterday, but Alexis infuriates me. Slows down play, does nothing constructive, and doesn't work for the team.

Santi-Coq wasn't nearly as effective in terms of points as people make it out to be, but it was damn fun to watch Santi do his wizardry and Coq barrel into tackles.

I do think the 4-2-3-1 we used with Ramsey on the right, moving infield with Bellerin overlapping, was the best tactically we've looked since I've been watching.

I can remember when he first got here, I thought he was the epitome of what a soccer player should be. Now, I don't even enjoy watching him play. He is basically a rec center chucker playing soccer. Yeah, he'll make a play, but it is just from the insane number of chances taken. Also, he'll bitch when someone else attempts to do something without him. I said it earlier in this thread, but I really don't see why City would want any part of him.

this. I think this was good for both Ramsey and Bellerin, I want to say Ramsey had his best year playing primarily outside right? I have to assume our overall squad talent is better now than it was then, much rather see some combo of xhaka/wilshere going with sanchez/ozil/ramsey and Laca up top.

why cant we have a 4-2-3-1 with this line up. kola out playing LB and pair Kos with someone who won’t please completely shite himself when playing against a big side.
