I do wonder if some on here even watch our games sometimes.

NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.

What the fuck does scoring 8 goals have to do with defending. If you honestly think it’s unreasonable to worry about us playing a player who at my most generous I could call a mid table level player when you’ve seen with your own eyes how badly he gets destroyed for pace (it’s not his fault, he’s just limited…it’s ok to bring him on with ten minutes to go when defending a lead but in a game where we are going to be stretched if we have any ambition to win it’s completely precarious).
It’s almost like there’s a reason why palace and Leeds are fighting relegation and Liverpool for all their bed shitting away from home are still a force to be reckoned with at Anfield.
I’m sorry you’re butt hurt for some reason because I haven’t given out warm fuzzies to players for comfortably beating relegation bait sides. But Rob Holding single handedly lost us the game against Spurs…not because he’s an arsehole but because he was out of his depth against Son.
He had a bad game against Spuds, but that was last season so how about we look at this season where's he's played well, particularly against Palace, in the last two games
I suppose you don't like Ben White because he was a bit shaky v Brentford over a season and a half ago
The point is we play something of a high-risk game, especially at home, where we commit a lot of players forward, have no real left back and at times essentially rely on scoring more goals than we concede.
The Leeds goal was down to our front players taking their foot off the pedal, allowing Leeds to come forward, and Zinchenko screwing up, not Holding or Gabriel
Generally speaking we're playing great football and it's really enjoyable to watch, I just feel sorry for anyone who nitpicks their way into thinking they're watching some kind of rubbish team which somehow has pubbed its way to the top of the league
That's very obviously not the case and as GP says it makes one wonder whether some people are actually watching what's happening here
Anyone, whatever, you carry on wallowing in your own glass-half-empty world and the rest of us will enjoy what has turned out to be a great season, whether we win the league or not
To be fair the prospect of Holding at Anfield does leave me concerned, not having Saliba available is a monumental blow.
Saying that, I believe we play better away from home anyway. This game will be won and lost on how effective our front line is.
Trossard should start. Can’t have a guy who scored a hattrick at Anfield 6 months ago not playing.
I wouldn't argue with that, Holding is clearly a step down from Saliba, but as you say it will be more a case of how we do up front
and totally agree re Trossard, I suppose the question is who would you leave out? maybe Jesus, given we're still easing him back in to an extent?
Hope Holding has a shocker tbh. And Trossard. And the other 9.
And if they do. 0-3 Ozil hat trick.
Not sure but it’s a nice problem to have. Just feel like right now Trossard makes our best 11.
Jesus is good enough to make an impact from the bench if needs be.
As I’ve said it wasn’t because Holding had a bad night against Spurs, it was because he was found out.
If I’m spoiling your enjoyment of the season feel free not to read my posts but in my book when you’re climbing a mountain you don’t get half way and stand around admiring the view like a tit, you carry on until you reach the summit. I didn’t think a title challenge was realistic…but now that we are in a title fight (albeit one that I still don’t think we are favourites for) I don’t want us to fall flat on our arses by keeping someone in the team who clearly is not good enough to be playing for us.
Plus it’s not me being negative. Getting bent out of shape because I don’t think performances merit more than six out of ten. When ignoring the fact that these players are not hitting top gear but still coming out comfortable winners
You don’t have to hope
