Champions League 24/25

Yes, because one has scored sporadically over a longer period and the other has clearly been on an upward trajectory, scoring a goal every other game over the last 12 games

Fine but you also have to accept he did fuck all in the other games whether he started or didn’t

But presumably you’ll say that’s unfair


Your argument makes sense if you’re saying well he’s got momentum and he’s well placed to score more goals. What you want is to have your cake and eat it

Please just think about what you've written - please...

You realise of course that given that Ramsey isn’t a striker that a midfielders contribution should be more than scoring goals in fact for a midfielder it’s a second or third order consideration depending on where they play. What I’m saying to you is that Ramsey did not offer any of the attributes that a midfielders gives the team, passing to create space, winning the ball, tracking back, going on runs.


It’s like you say Merino has had the same benefit to the team as Partey because they’ve both scored goals. I get you’re in I need to win mode, but surely this doesn’t need to be explained to you?

Sure Ramsey's role was to be a disruptor and get into goal-scoring positions, different midfielders have different games

That said in my Arsenal Mania days I was often in arguments when I said he just ran around a lot and there was a bit of truth to that - a bit like Zin but without the catastrophic errors

Good to see you got there in the end

That’s because Wenger learned quickly enough not to put him in any defensive role. And he was a disruptor ok, except he disrupted our momentum by losing possession under no pressure or passing the ball out of play. The fact that it was Wilshere crippled with constant injury and not Ramsey only goes to prove that either there’s no God, or the omnipotent fucker hates Arsenal

I see you’ve shot your bolt, and have nothing left but silliness

In fairness you reached that point mid morning.

But I’m nothing if not charitable, if you want to say I think Gakpo has the momentum and will end up scoring more goals than Martinelli. I can accept that as a prediction.
