In fact I’d argue it was too cautious on Arteta’s part to take him off, sure Tierney can put in crosses but ultimately crosses when no one is in the box is a rather worthless spectacle….though I’m sure Tierney would remember a similar thing from four years ago (and that’s even when we had Auba and Laca in the side)

I think the truth is that bereft of forwards as we are, Calafiori adds goal threat that MLS doesn't. We lose some security in defence, but we just about got away with it in the first half against a very good counter-attacking team.

As I pointed out in the other thread, you are about as clear as cataracts

End of the day I’m going against my better judgement. There’s no point in me mocking Letters for getting in a back and forth with you until the end of time itself, only for me to do the same thing

I’ve made an argument repeatedly. You don’t accept it, you don’t have to of course but I also have to factor in that I’m dealing with someone who’d sooner take a selfie with George Soros than ever having to change their mind on anything.

I know you've made tour argument repeatedly. But you've ignored mine.

In a nutshell:

Me: Vary our play.

You: Can't, don't have the players.

Me: Get different players then.

You: General insults, mount high horse, ride off.

Ah right goalpost shifting

I’m talking about the here and now. If your argument is that we should get different players in the summer (which it isn’t, your argument is we would be doing better in the games right now if not for Tippedy tappidy) then completely different argument.

Dishonest as well as drunk and silly
