Raya did the exact same thing on 2 occasions last season, does the dullard never learn from HIS mistakes...Retro Gunner wrote: ↑Fri Aug 01, 2025 3:12 pmaugie wrote: ↑Fri Aug 01, 2025 11:15 amRetro Gunner wrote: ↑Fri Aug 01, 2025 9:54 amaugie wrote: ↑Fri Aug 01, 2025 9:09 amGoing back to my criticism of the creative genius that is raya (![]()
), is the cone boy trying to tell us that raya is soooo good with the ball at his feet, that on our kick offs he is the best player we have to receive the ball and launch it downfield ???? I mean seriously all he is doing is hoofing the ball 60 yards down the pitch, and yet the cone boy has to bring this fuckwit 40 yards from his goals to do something that any of our players should be capable of doing
To me it is just feeding into his bu!!shit that he is some sort of playmaker with the ball at his feet

Is that what Arteta said? If so, then he's clearly mis-spent a billion pounds.
Our kick off's yesterday involved raya standing 20-30 yards outside his penalty area, and whoever takes the kick off passes it back to him and he launches it downfield - it is as primitive/wimbledon style tactic as you will ever see, but my gripe is why we have to bring raya so far out of goal to hoof it down the field when any jackass could do it ?![]()
I mean it doesnt require (going by yesterday) a guy that can kick the ball 50 yards down the field right to his team-mates feet, so ffs get one of the back 4 to do it and send that cock back into his goals ffs
Ok augie, thanks.
It's a ridiculous practice and makes no sense. As you say, any defender is capable of lumping the ball up the pitch in a general direction.
As for the goal conceded against the scum, I decided to watch some brief highlights. What a disaster! About 30 yards out of his goal and plays a daft pass to MLS, who didn't help himself even though he was being closed down. Smart finish from Sarr, but self inflicted on our part. I doubt anything will change.
I know people say it was only a pre season "friendly", but it still stings to lose to that lot and from the little I saw and from the comments on here, the same old issues exist, regardless of new additions.
As far as I am concerned there never was and never will be a "Friendly" between us and those Cocksuckers! and I have to say I watched the whole game and for 80% of the game they were definitely treating it like a Non-Friendly Derby... Surely Captain Black should have known that and told our players to Kill These Cūnts....

Also MLS had 2 players coming in on him one from either side And 2 coming straight at him so there was nowhere for him to turn, go or pass... ALL down to Raya for me....
That new assistant Heinz is supposed to be the new defence coach, all I can say is even though it is pre-season our defence looked a fucking mess, as if they had never played together before...
Worrying even before the season begins proper.
