As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.
I remember the days when the first rule of an away game in Europe was don't concede early. The second was test their keeper out as soon as possible. We obviously don't bother with any of that 'legacy football shit.
Laca you start, but the rest are on the bench for me - Tierney hasnt played in a while, ditto luiz, and auba is recovering from the energy sapping maleria, plus he was playing shit before he even got that
I'd agree with Laca starting with Auba to come on for him if we need a goal badly. I'd definitely start Tierney though, Xhaka at left full terrifies me against pacey wingers which Villereal have. I'd move Xhaka back in to midfield and bin Getafe to the bench.
Are you fucking mental rodders? Clive back into the middle? Fuck no. Never. I'd play Hleballos in there ahead of him in a heartbeat. Actually I'd play anyone in there ahead of Clive - and I fucking include Butter Wrists in that!
Getafe isn't even good enough (ironically) to play for Getafe never mind us so I'm not having that
I've long been of the opinion that our midfield is better with Xhaka in it, although that says more about the state of our midfield than it does about him to be fair, coz he's shite
Xhaka and Partey in the middle for me.
What the actual fuck! He's useless. Simply the worst player we've ever had, let alone the worst player in the current team. A cowardly donkey that pisses away the ball and gives cheap free kicks away every game. I'm shocked rodders. Did you get a traumatic head injury perchance?
Clive and Partey in the middle is suicide. Both are too similar in pissing away possession too often and too easily.
Hleballos is shite but I'd play him before either of the other two morons any day.
The only thing that pisses me off more than watching The Arsenal nowadays, is having to listen to Karen Carney whilst watching the dross. I feel like throwing the remote at the TV every time she comes out with some crap.
