Mavropanos has been injured almost entirely for two years. The time to judge him would be now if he doesn't break down again. I'm not sure if Emery not picking him is a negative tbf considering he continued to choose two clowns over Holding and Chambers.

I don't think Pepe necessarily has a bad attitude but more that he's even weaker than Ozil and is a liability in terms of tracking back. The fact that he's still adapting to a new country and club might also be contributing to a player who is struggling to show his quality in more than just brief flashes.

Ozil completing two five-yard passes and setting up his first chance in six months doesn't warrant a husk of a player who's only attribute is having a maniacal fanbase being anywhere near the team.

Auba can fuck off too if he's angling for the big final contract of his career. He's been fine in terms of attitude and performance during a dreadful period though, so deserves the benefit of the doubt.


Was this the Arteta thread?

Arteta .

Greatest Spaniard we've ever had and the best hair in the managerial business.

Hope he shows his proudness by wearing a tracksuit against Bournemouth.
