Not sure why Flamini has come in for some stick but I suppose MOTD had to continue the 'Arsenal have no defensive cover' narrative somehow.
MOTD.
What a horrific show.

Same old narrative. Have they even picked up on the fact that the Wilshere, Ramsey and Arteta struggle to play together? This beautiful attacking over playing football Arsenal is a thing of the past. They still talk as if we're the same Arsenal weaving pretty patterns on the field with no bite. As if Cesc leaving has had no impact.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
I used to download caps of MOTD until about 4 years ago, and I just stopped.
They were still on the "OMG, look at how fast Arsenal counterattack" vibe as if they were stuck in pre-05 mode, when each year it became more and more obvious it was all pretty passes to nowhere. I guess they're still 3 or 4 years behind the reality.
That's actually always been a strength of Bif's. He pulled off loads of little flicks and those chipped balls over the top for the runner from the left last season. It's just that everyone else is fully in tune with his style now and nearly every player seems to have improved in the final third, which should be the case with young players and relatively new player relationships.
