Up the Arse! Goons Thread

Clear m.o.t.m Ospina, down to ten men and pinch a goal/point. I like it. At least showed some heart.

 

[lewdogs]

It's because he is a winner and even a draw with 10 men feels like a loss to him. We need more of his type, not less.

Exactly, why stay on the pitch to do some fanfare at white hart lane? Who cares?

Finally found some form tonight... wish he'd taken a crack when it opened up for him in the second actually rather than passing.

 

[Genesis67]

Ospiña MOTM for me.

+1.

Finally, some heart. Nearly stole it. Dier should have been gone.

But frak me, what was Coq thinking....?

This. So much this.

 

[Tomnat Tigers]

Welbeck clear man of the match for me. Ospina was good but like always I never understand why we praise some goal keeping performances when all bar one or two of the opposition shots are right at him.

Hopefully Alexis takes something from this game and can carry on some form for the remainder of the season, thats what a real winner will do and I have faith that Alexis can do it.

Finally Wenger appears to have made his annual 'we've been figured out, time to change the line up' and hopefully we can rediscover some form with a slightly altered style and different personnel in the line up. We generally go on a run once he does this so lets hope that it pays off.

 

[bok_party]

So predicted Ospina having a blinder and us playing well. Reckon we would have won if not for Coq but I'd take a draw after thatZ

 

[charcoalchicken]

That's how you play up forward Walcott you ****ing slug.

You actually get involved and have a crack not audition for hollow man 3 for 70 ****ing minutes.

 

[glenferry23]

Just got home. Almost lost my ****ing shit with Coq. Seriously unbelievable how ****ing stupid that was.

Another big game with ten men. Thank **** Ospina put in a blinder, he was magnificent.

 

[kreglze]

After reflecting on last night a bit. That set up we went into that game with was a much better formation. Elneny and Coq (Before he got himself sent off) was a really tight defensive set up. Elneny was also BOG for me cause of the role he played, both playing one two's up the pitch as well as his defensive running.

Welbeck was also super impressive ran at the defence, made Spurs defenders nervous. That cut back to Bellerin to set up the goal was a thing of beauty.

Ospina was my BOG, his saves were vital, made two amazing saves and looked solid, bar from the Alder goal. Nothing he could about the Kane goal though.

 

[glenferry23]

Yep, Elneny, Welbeck and Ospina were the standouts.

But like Joel Campbell knows, being your team's best player on the day doesn't mean you'll play the next game.

Seriously, just absolutely mind boggling idiotic from Coq. Just stupidity. He can **** off behind Elneny in the queue now and hope Elneny takes his chance during Coq's suspension.

 

[windyhill]

I've said it before, we are not the best team in The Prem, but we are the best to watch, have been for years. Not good for your health Arsenal, but neutrals must go out of their way to watch us, car crash, drama, you name it. Unique club Arsenal, unique.

He was panicky in possession the whole match. Shat himself hard for the first yellow but it was somewhat understandable to want to hold up play in that instance. No rationale or thought process behind the second yellow, though. He'll be burning, rightly so, but he'll learn from it. He's a heart and soul player, one of the few we have who gives it a crack every game, and one mistake shouldn't change anything.

Personally, I keep running through the emotion of both the red card and Kane's goal and am so ******* grateful Alexis salvaged something from the wreckage. Handing Spurs a potentially title-defining victory under those circumstances would've been painful to deal with. Would've been ******* unbearable.

The worst part apart the first yellow is that he didn't even hold up play

 

[glenferry23]

Correct. The point of professional foul is to at least stop the opposition.

Anyway, his suspension can be served in the Cup game v Hull. Probably wouldn't have played anyway. Hoping Elneny starts again.

 

[Cruyff14]

We didn't lose which is a good thing, and nice to see players dropped who had performed poorly recently.

Hopefully this gives us the belief to put in a bit of a run, but who knows with this team.

Also FM players - freofan_mundy Shoei, what would you rate Elneny's CA/PA as? Ta.

 

[Shoei]

Without an editor at a guess i'd say between 140-160. At 25 he's probably reached his ceiling based on what he has achieved so far.

He's no better than Coq in game and judging off his stats in my save i wouldn't be signing him for Arsenal. He might be good value for a lower level premier league team.

On the game, I reckon he'd be like CA 123 PA 147.

Real life, perhaps about CA 127 PA 152

I base this on absolutely nothing. Hopefully he has more room to grow than that.

Yeah I meant, more what you guys would put him at.

Got 140/160 but have no idea if that is good or bad etc

 

[elhadjihenry]

Was watching on my phone at a wedding so probably not entirely accurate, but:

Good:

- Draw keeps us barely alive, but the difference between losing and coming back to equalise that game with 10 men will be more than just the point.
- Elneny was great, if he doesn't start in Coq's place next game then Wenger has rocks in his head.
- Ospina showed he is a capable replacement for Cech, good to see, think most of us had forgotten that he was decent keeper last season.
- Welbz and Gibbs looked good despite missing a lot of football.
- Sanchez scoring at last, hope he can kick on from it. Showing the desire that the rest of the team is lacking.

Bad:

- Coq, you ****ing idiot
- Letting Kane score against us again, annoys me more than any other player.
- Ramsey, apart from the goal he was putrid again
- Wenger not playing Campbell from the start

 

[RickSanchez]

I reckon 160 PA is alright but CA it would be max 135.
I'd say about 132.

 

[Cruyff14]

Thanks mate, any stats that should be good in particular? His stamina is 19. Not sure why I care so much, I will probably sell him anyway.

I think he'd be very good physically and mentally, with solid technical stats.
Passing, tackling, marking would be 13-14+

 

[Cruyff14]

Cheers. Got his passing and pos 15. Stamina was at 19 default. WR and determination high also. Don't really know much else.

 

[RickSanchez]

Cruyff14 Did you get that update recently? I wonder what has changed.

 

[Cruyff14]

Yes I did, but I started a new game last week FFS.
