It was a rough season for the team with no trophies this year and no Libertadores next year, but seeing Gabi’s career resurgence and silencing of the haters made up for the struggles.

We have a lot of rebuilding to do before next season though. Hopefully Cuca returns as the manager, and the next generation of kids we have in the pipeline are as good as everyone says they are.

You think Tite will select Gabigol for Copa America 2019? Gabriel Jesus is in bad form. Bobby Firmino style of play doesn’t fit Tite’s tactics. I’m a big Gabigol thrasher. I called him Flabbygol since he flopped in Europe but he really stepped up this season. Maybe he could be a super sub for Brazil.

As soon as Arsenal paired Aubameyang with Lacazette, the latter became consistently dangerous. They are at worst the third-best attacking pair in the league.

Giroud over Lacazette was some ol' bullshyt for that WC squad.

Laca is very similar in style to Mbappe as it concerns striking. Giroud is really the only French striker with build. Martial, Mbappe and Laca have very similar attributes.

I want him to and I think Gabi deserves it, but I don’t think it’ll happen. He didn’t called up for any friendlies this year even though he was scoring at a ridiculous clip throughout the season.

I think the only way it happens is if he gets a move to Europe in January and he continues scoring goals at a consistent pace.

Phil Jones is apparently injuried too....shocker :stopitslime:

Matic and McTominay as our CB's :scust:


This is Arsenal's best chance to beat us while we are awful and weak....last time we were in this situation Rashford made his mark on the Premier League......that was 2 years ago :francis:

No better feeling than beating those Spurs dikkheads at home, but I have this feeling we’ll somehow lose to this :flabbynsick: Utd team in a few days

Only way we lose to Man U is through dodgy set pieces or penalties. If we can just avoid fouling them around the box or giving away too many corners we'll win. Mourinho probably knows this and will try to turn it into a scrappy game, but we shouldn't scrap back.
