Mind you it wouldn't surprise me...So I'm guessing you know from 'personal' experience then!?

Ecstatic with the one point presumably. If they hadn't appointed Arteta, Freddie would have been offered the job today.OneBardGooner wrote: ↑Sat Dec 21, 2019 5:32 pmPart of a Post match interview with Freddie - Apparently the club have asked him to stay, in what capacity / role he didn't say.

So Arteta is another manager who thinks Xhaka should be in the starting line up when most fans don't think he should be at the club?augie wrote: ↑Sat Dec 21, 2019 6:12 pmIf the rumours are true then I am pleased that arteta was involved in picking the team and the tactical set-up, and it was no less than I would have expected. It also makes a mockery of the suggestion that Freddie was the one that disciplined ozil - we are meant to believe that Freddie disciplined ozil for kicking his gloves in the air, when he didn't discipline him for arguing with Freddie directly at the end of a match a few weeks ago ?? Do me a favour - dropping ozil was down to arteta and it was a good first step, but now he has to show consistency and be willing to put manners on players who aren't working for the team, and that starts with his captain

We have enough decent attacking quality that we will get better going forward with time, especially with money. We haven’t defended properly for over a decade, so I can absolutely stomach a few dour games like this if it means we can start that recovery.
I’m no Ozil lover and though Freddie’s comments were spot on, but has anybody seen anything in Smith-Rowe that would indicate that he might be ready for this? We have actually amassed some very good young talent, but Willock and Smith-Rowe are nowhere near good enough at the moment.
By the way, what the fuck has happened with Ceballos? Has he been injured for the last forever?
Absolutely nailed it there mate. Spot on imo.augie wrote: ↑Sat Dec 21, 2019 10:30 pmnorthbank123 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 21, 2019 8:46 pmI would take a few fucking negative 0-0s if it starts setting a platform.

I think that the kid could be a real player IF he gets proper coaching - I thought that today he was very poor if I'm honest, but I knew that our young (soft) kids would not react well with the tighter goodison pitch and the limited space. You also gotta remember that the kid has played less than 5 senior games and it is way too early to make a judgement on him.
I am really shocked and disappointed by the harsh negative reaction to the performance from so many fans today - if that performance had of come from one of GG's teams back in the day, we would have been quite happy with it, but because it came from a 2019 AFC team it is getting slated for a lack of excitement We need clean sheets more than anything. We need defensive structure. We need positional awareness for our defenders and midfielders. WHEN all of that beds in with our players, then we can blend it with a more expansive brand of football, but right now we have to prioritise a shocking defensive record and believe that one of our quality attackers can produce a bit of magic to win the game. If auba scores that chance we walk away with a 1-0 (to the Arsenal) and 3 points, and if some of you are bored by that, then fcuk off and watch something else
I have to wonder who is doing that chanting ? - the AKBs ?
