a superb player but needs width to be at his best. his best games were when we had theo or gnabry on the wing. when its all midfielders he struggles. he got more involved when Gnarby was on today and look threatening.

He needs to get involved more regardless of whose playing. That's what makes a world class player. A couple of bad games now and yet to really show what he can do. Just glimpses so far. The best was Napoli. We'll have to give him more time to adjust but it's very disappointing to already be thinking we need player x, y and x for him to really flourish.

Can't jump to head the ball else it'll mess up his haircut.

one more point. after villa game, if you told me that our next loss in the league would be united away in november and we'd be 2 points clear at the top of the league, id have called the men in white coats. shit game, shit result, but lets hope we bounce back like after villa. onwards and upwards

Best player in the PL by such a distance it's a bit embarrassing.

Does this mean he'll win every game on his own? Does it mean he won't have any off-performances? Hardly. Football is still about narrow margins. But the effect his signing has had on the club is self evident. He's the cheapest player we've ever signed, in terms of the impact he's delivered.

On a positive note, how fucking brilliant was Gnabry when he came on? Made a huge difference, we were much better following his introduction because if the pace and width he offered us, which in turn allowed Sagna to put those balls into the box that we very nearly grabbed 2 goals from.

I wouldn't say he was brilliant in terms of the match itself - but in terms of young kid coming on in such a big fixture and looking like he belongs, he did well. Wenger said Ramsey was a top player, which has seemed ridiculous until recently. He claims Gnabry is even better - I'm going to believe him.

Well yes, I was accounting for his circumstances by describing him as brilliant, but even from a purely pragmatic stance he was very good; his introduction really did change the face of the game, we were very unlucky (to have bendtner on the field who conspired) not to get on the end of at least one of the balls into the box right at the end.

We have no width and when the midfield aren't at their tippy tappy best it becomes quite easy for their play to be read, which is what United's defence did comfortably today.

Need Theo back ASAP and I'd also like Gnabbers to be involved more as well.
