Up the Arse! Goons Thread

Touchy 1-1 but will take that at a place we usually suffer at.

Hardly inspiring stuff though. Pepe looked at all sorts and Saka looked like the 75m signing.

 

[glenferry23]

Hard to watch at times, both teams make it difficult. We didn’t really do or create that much, but at least come back with a result.

Pepe is Gervinho in disguise.

No - very gifted player, clearly in his own head. It’d be foolish to write him off this soon.

I liked Gervinho

 

[Benno_900]

As for the game, Guendouzi and Saka looking better with every game.

Chambers looked assured although he wasn't up against much.

 

[glenferry23]

Would really like Bellerin and Tierney into the next league match. Chambers central to replace one of Sokratis/Luiz.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Thought it was pretty gutless by Emery starting 3 defensive minded mids. Also thought our lack of intent after getting the equaliser was bitterly disappointing.

Yeah this game was just begging for us to go for it but I think he's just played it too negative again, ozil not even an option from the bench was a bit of a head scratcher as well, tierney not in the squad either.

He is a massive coward.

 

[Cruyff14]

At least we didn't lose, but again his tactics are lacking.

Saka looked good.

 

[kreglze]

Emery is really in a no win situation. If he went attacking and lost people would be all over him, if he goes in defensive people don't like his set up.

He will be gone by Christmas...

I also didn't like his set up FWIW

There's something about Emery's system that doesn't seem to make it easy for wide players.

 

[Tomnat Tigers]

Torriera playing the most advanced of our mids tells you everything you need to know. The sooner we sack this campaigner the better.

I think that was more to do with torriera man marking pogba tbf

Wish xhaka wasn't announced as captain, he really should be a rotation/squad player imo

 

[bok_party]

I’d love to see if Xhaka plays differently under a more progressive and positive manager. Would be very interesting to see.

 

[carnthemlions]

1 win in our last 5, goal difference of 1, and we're still in the top 4. The bar's not exactly high at the moment.

I remember Wenger trying him as more of a 10 at some point (probably a cup or EL match) and he didn't look terrible. I don't think he's got the mobility and/or close control required though. He played pretty deep for Switzerland in a midfield that wasn't exactly the most attacking at the world cup, although I don't know what they do with him normally.

 

[carnthemlions]

The people have spoken, Emery's officially more unpopular that Ozil. He absolutely deserves to be sacked for his ******* moronic faith in his Mourinho at United lite midfield setup though. At least Jose had Pogba when they weren't feuding.

 

[glenferry23]

They could at least spell Mesut correctly.

 

[carnthemlions]

They could at least spell Mesut correctly.

That's probably a bit much to ask.

 

[glenferry23]

In all seriousness though it’s a valid question. He’s made one appearance so far. On £350k a week, with very little output to justify that. Emery doesn’t rate him and we can’t sell Ozil on those obscene wages, so this s**t just keeps dragging on.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Seriously where would Emery be without Aubameyang ?

 

[charcoalchicken]

I honestly just don't think xhaka is suited for the premier league, I think that's the problem, he's too slow, thinking, running, passing, everything is just too slow, needs time and space on the ball to think and the game to go at a slower pace for him to be decent, which he won't get in the epl

You’re probably right but I’d still just like to see if he’ll switch the play more etc because we have our wing backs higher up the ground and more incisive infield runs being made from our wingers.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

It's sickening watching Serge Gnabry knowing what we sold him for.

 

[glenferry23]

Gnabry was injury riddled at Arsenal, with very little end product to show for his potential. And question marks over his attitude. His price was about as good as you’d get in the circumstances.

Happy to see him sort his issues out and do well.
