I hate when teams play for ties. Barca tired Girona 2-2 with a man down, so i can't get mad even tho ties suck ass.
We're still on road for the treble:obama:

This might sound greedy but I wanted to to unload Henderson and pursuit Lemar and Fekir. Those guys alongside Keita would’ve been a dream come true. Nonetheless, Klopps decisions have panned out so I cannot complain.

Man, Valencia is just painful to watch. Another game, another mistake (red card on Dani Parejo). These guys need to figure things out quickly. They are still without a win so far.

The problem is that Petr Cech and Mustafi aren't good enough to be changing your style for.

Holding + Leno wouldn't solve things, but they'd be an upgrade on the 2 you mentioned until Jan/next Summer

Leno is. I'd say he's (arguably) one of the top 5 german keepers if not 3rd behind Neuer and Ter Stegen. Holding is young but promising. I'm actually happy he has Sokratis in the side now, give him some toughness.



Arsenal lack wingers and width. Need like 3 of them. It’s really why individual brilliance is saving us.

Wingbacks poor too.

Xhaka has the turning radius of an oil tanker. Very stiff for a footballer too. He’s undroppable too :dead:

Torreira is our best player and if he goes down, we’re done. Only player we have who would get into every Prem team, don’t @ me.

The fukk are you talking about? Xhaka isn't undroppable, but I think playing him with Ramsey is tactically absurd.

Also, Torreira isn't our best player at all. If we are looking at influence on the pitch and results its been Laca and Auba :russ: Torreira is good, but don't let the honeymoon fool you. If you think Torreira would be taking the place of ManU's midfield or Chelsea's or City's or hell even fukking Spurs's you are fooling yourself. He's good, but still unblooded.

I'll agree that Arsenal need width but it's not on the left. Auba has played on the left and agreed to play on the left because of Laca. In every game this season where they have played that formation at least ONE of them has scored. You don't change what's working. The RIGHT is where we need help and mostly because Bellerin is a defensive liability so you'd need a half way decent two way player on that side...which is hard to find. Not going after Mahrez with any sort of effort I think was a mistake. But at this point I'd even take a player like Callejon or even Suso. Mhki is good but I see him as total surplus.

But even MORE than that we need another CB. Now I know we are still suffering from no Kos, (who I think would shore up the defense fine with Sokratis). The Mustafi experiment has failed, time to develop Mavorapanos and Holding and lean on Kos and Sokratis with perhaps one more CB for rotation.
