And we wont play top teams every week so against Pub teamers, play 2 up top. Fair enough if we strengthen the midfield for the big games but not for others we dont have to

Cripps you are not reading my post!!! I said Manu and Citeh can do it cos they can afford it! Read my post!

Do you think 4-4-2 with Theo and Podolski/Giroud/Oxo will work? With our midfield? We will get over run, especially if your CF can't hold the ball against the CBs. They will not outrun Theo, they will chopped him like they did to Reyes few years ago. :coffee:

:doh:

Not sure what game you was watching, Giroud was waiting for the tap in all theo had to do was pass but he wasted the time.

But of course dont let facts get in the way of a good Theo bashing.

I was there btw and that was at my end of the pitch. Not on some pussy stream which probably froze 30 times during that moment of play

The pass wasn't on at all. He had two players on him and one of the defenders would have got a touch on it. But it's irrelevant, how is that being used to bash him when he scored coming off the bench? It's not as if he can't make that sort of pass either. We've seen it plenty of times last season and this summer with England. It's time to change the record.

His feet can but his mind doesn't know when to pull the trigger, that's why he failed to assist Giroud/or score from that play. :coffee:

The contracts come after the excellence and when a player wants to put those first then yeas, I thin greedy ****. Sorry, but that's about the sum of it. If Theo was tearing it up match after match then there wouldn't even be a discussion. He'd be a starter and he'd be playing in the position his performances demanded. Are we really going to blame Wenger because Theo can't trap a ball? Or because he won't promote the guy for failing to own the role he's currently in? Way, way too many excuses made for these players.

Regardless if he wants to pass or shoot, he should have done first time. Not meddle for few seconds and passed it when the opportunity is gone. :coffee:

Just another reason to bash him

Its ridiculous

I said in the match reaction thread that the pass was never on cos there were defenders back so Giroud would have to make some movement if he wanted the ball and Theo waited and waited and it never came so he played the ball across to the guy running back post, Gibbs i think and thats the end of that chapter.

But of course it goes against the laughable attempts of Theo bashing so lets not use facts and use Charlie logic instead ie bad spelling and make shit up

I'm not going to read the rest of that because you're blinkered and proving my point. Compared to his Prem rivals, he scores more goals. Nani, Bale, Valencia...his numbers aren't shit when you do a comparison. Prove his worth....do you think Ian Wright could have developed Robben esk dribbling skills if he was played on the wings when he's always been a striker?
