The Official Arsenal Thread - Part 2

M8, if he's so good he could em, I dunno, do something about the game state. Like getting hold of the ball and passing it around to relieve the pressure. Maybe even, raise the pathetic possession from a measly 25%???

He's a good player, not a great player Bill.

Okay we'll leave it there so.

I thought MLS dealt with the ball much better than Rice in that game. He was the only gunner that was brave on the ball in that game.

I thought those late season performances would have kick started his arsenal career biut the bruno signing will probably relegate him back to the bench.

A piss poor window for our attack. MLS was very badly treated, as was Martinelli.

We didn't get to see our preferred attacking line up last season as someone was always injured and now we've less attackers then at the start of the window.

Madness

Erm... fewer not less!

A lot of managerial and player churn at chelsea and city. Gonna take a while for it all to settle down.

Arsenal are the finished product structurally. Adding a WC attacker should have been no1 priority.

Liverpool would have been better off with Bruno G with Barcola going to Arsenal.

Arsenal are the strongest in the league from 1-8 but the attacking options haven’t much magic there.

They’re gonna face probably 30+ low blocks in the league this season. It won’t be pretty anyway.

Arsenal haven't been pretty since Wenger's early days at Highbury so we won't be surprised in the least Orchy!

Souey nails it here.

Hard to argue with it. I like Rice. Great attitude and leadership but he’s closer to Jordan Henderson than he is to the very best of them.

I would agree with Souness here for the most part.
I think Rice is elite on the defensive side of the game but then definitely limited on the attacking side.

I think he’s top level as a dm, very good as a ground covering cm and weak at the attacking midfield side of the game.

I think that’s where Guimaraes can really complement him. His ball playing is top level but his defensive side is not as good.
I think they’re going to work extremely well together.

Yeah. We’ll leave it there so.

I accept your apology.

Yep. That was posted earlier in the summer and it was spot on then and it's spot on now.

Dya know what was also posted earlier in the summer and was spot on too?

Good to see that Nollaig took his beating like a man and his non reply proves that he was wrong about Declán Ó Ríse and I’ll take it as an apology.

Thanks m8.
