I believe Robertson got 55 minutes.
Double standards ?

Thanks to the Scots for playing him for all 180 minutes in 2 meaningless fucking friendlies last week :banghead:
Clarke plays him every available minute most intrnational managers at least played players in friendlies for one game and rested them for the otther.

Either way I agree with other comments he has had lots of injury problems and why sadly you can't make him captain just misses chunks of games every season not your one or two game niggles or strains.

The drop off in defensive ability to Tavares is a chasm, heaven must be missing a defender that's for sure..... sorry for the lame joke but that was beyond dissapointing last night, another good left back addition in squad needed without a doubt.

Most of the managers negotiate with the international manager to not over load players....sure thats the case with Klopp

Old Chav player. Probably still has an issue with us because we used to piss all over then time after time when he played for them.

Should be Soares at LB. A right footed LB is better than Taveres. He has the situational awareness of Stevie Wonder. He really is very poor. Tierney needed an older, more experienced back-up. How is Taveres even going to progress (assuming there's talent in there somewhere) if he doesn't play.
Even Kolasinac was a better option.

White/Tomoyasu at RB.

Thing is when he played his first few games for us Tavares showed real promise. - I think he is simply utterly devoid of ANY Confidence - He hadn't played for ages before the the FA Cup game - Then having got hooked in that game (and understandably so!) He was then thrown in at the deep end against a Team who were always going to be difficult... and so for me it is down to Arteta... Mind you Tierney's injury didn't emerge till training on Monday - after having played 2 full games (Friendly's :roll: ) for Scotland...

Maybe Arteta should have said to Tierney - Okay with 45mins of each of the 2 games or 1 full 90 minutes, seeing as they were (only) friendlies ...?

What it has done is thrown a Massive Spanner in the works.. :cry: :banghead:

Nuno went from being our best pre season player and showing early promise to being an absolute fucking waste of space. Who is coaching him FFS?

Liked him a lot but frankly now I'd rather have Chris Tavare or any of the The Tavares replacing KT

Tierney looks like he could be injury prone, if so he needs to fully understand that Arsenal; the club that pay his fucking wages Come FIRST! Not Scotland, who let's be honest are never going to Win fuck all. :banghead:
