@Kunty McPhuck you think Atalanta will let us win so Juventus goes to Europa?

No. Gasperini is a Ladri fan and former employee.

It’s amazing all the flaws that get overlooked when you’re white, British and give it the old college try



I can freely admit that apart from Mo who is clearly player of the season and Ali, that Nat is maybe the only other one that can hold his head high over the course of the full season because he is extracting every last drop from his ability and he could play for a Prem team when I thought his level was probably League 1, bottom half of the Championship eventually if he was lucky but we gotta call a spade a spade, just cause some of us can see ourselves in him doesn’t mean we should actively self harm which is what we will be doing if he gets a single minute next season.

He has filled a hole for us this season and done ok when needed and played well tonight, but he is not at our level and never will be , and he is 24 now
Obsak is a much better option to rely on when our main players are out, and no matter how good he is we just can not rely on Matip.
He is so injury prone it's a joke

Good result tonight, that could have been a banana skin that we slipped up on .
Pleased for Oxlade aswell with his goal, really hope he has an injury free season next season and hits the levels he was hitting in 18/19 before the bad injury he got against Roma

Oh wow, final day drama with Champions League spots up for grabs!!1!1!!1

He’s played well given his ability compared to others but even tonight we’re 5 mins in and he’s keeping people onside being 3 yards behind everyone else, he fukked up a pass that we should have been punished for and our fans gonna give him a pass and unfortunately it’s sounding like Kloppo even giving him a pass cause he sees himself in him

You need a system that limits his passing. Ramsey was a way better passer than Willock.

Willock could be like Dele Alli with Pochettino. I’m not convinced that’s a winning system though.

What's his position at this point? Honestly I'm lost with this point with him. Cause at some point I see him becoming a striker

Pirlo saving himself another season.

Ole better deliver next week.

 

[frush11]

Not the biggest ESR fan but I can see that. I'm not sure if it's him or having a 10-like player. I'm seeing teams with lesser players create more chances, it's putting too much pressure on the attackers to score every chance.

The defending stats look good and that's with clown patrol back there but Arteta is like Emery. The approach is defensive. At least with Mikel the under lying numbers are good, I was shocked to see we were top 10 in attacking and defending.

If we finish strong, I'll feel more confident going into next season.



Even under Emery and Wenger's last few years we created and scored more with weaker midfields. There hasn't never been any fluidity under Mikel since the FA Cup. If we needed to create a chance (Villarreal - H) we struggled. I wouldn't be so harsh on breh if he seemed to have a clear vision. At least with the kids, it's clearer.

Those last years off Wenger, we didn't create much. We were more clinical.
