You did. And I agreed re zinchenko but then said he had proved me wrong during our good spell last year. Sadly this season we are seeing it all. He perhaps could do a job in CM but still the tendency to lose it would be dangerous there. He's a diasater waiting to happen at LB.augie wrote: ↑Sat Dec 23, 2023 8:26 pmgoonertux wrote: ↑Sat Dec 23, 2023 7:29 pmPoint up there is a decent result but, Jesus, have we got some liabilities in our squad!
Zinchenko has some ability but not as a defender! No idea of tackling or positional sense whatsoever.
Havertz can just do one. Absolute 65m waste of space.
The feather ain’t winning us anything.
Hey-ho. Top at Christmas can’t be bad.
Merry Christmas Gooners!
Wonder was the basque clown bigging him up and pushing him towards the fans this evening ?? Easy be a hero against shit teams (although he was shit against them too), and its easy for legohead to give it the big un when he scores a goal and proclaims himself a genius for signing him, but will he admit this evening how shit he was ? Will he fcuk Barring zinchenko there wasnt another player on the pitch as shit as that german dud
I stick my neck out here on occasions and am not afraid to call it as I see it and naturally it frequently results in backlash against me - when we bought those two citeeh players I stated that they are not good enough and there were valid reasons why citeeh were willing to let them join us, but where it was dismissed as negative nonsense for a while, now every Gooner and media hack are highlighting zinchenko's shit defensively and jesus wont score enough goals. This isnt a how right was I post cos several others were saying the same, but rather its a "why if it is so obvious to everyone else can our brainless diet pep not see it ?".
Still a point at anfield is certainly something I'd have taken before hand and I thought bar the scary first 10 mins of the 2nd half and zinchenkos calamities we didn't give them much and looked quite comfortable and caused them problems but had no cutting edge as ever.
Saliba was immense and Gabriel not far behind.
Oderagard was poor creating little and making risky moves and getting caught.
Rice was good again and we would be lost without him.
White was white. We need 2 new full backs, unless timber can come back.
I didn't think havertz did too bad. Not anything good but not complete garbage.
I thought Eddie did OK when he came in I that he ran around, got back and pressured. Not any goal threat but better than his usual poncing around.
Martinelli was gash. Seemed to give up for a spell in the 2nd half, no end product and was not making any moves to the box when he should have been for crosses coming across gave of goal. Very poor and needs to kick on or could become vulnerable as the end product is key and he hasn't been doing it for a while.
Bench strength week.
2 new full back's, a striker and a non hiding creative midfielder and we would be unstoppable.
Top at Christmas can't complain just the frustration like for many wenger years we are a couple of players away as ever from being a real force.
