Why is there a debate? It’s an incorrect word.
There’s no excuse for starting Xhaka and Mustafi to be honest. They were both fucking trash too, as always. Mustafi literally just fell on the ground at one point.
Yeh I’m really trying to understand what people expect from these two it’s not like they’re youth products or have showed any sign of improved in the couple of hundred games they’ve played for us.
So depressing these two have been mainstays of the last half decade.
Yep.
I still want to give him time, and it will hopefully get better, but these are just open goal misses.
Almost like he was playing all the popular players so there’s no issues at the beginning.
Mustafi better not he on the teamsheet for the Brighton game.
God, I thought we’d seen the last of this prick.
I blame moronic Arsenal fans that thought he had changed because he managed to keep a couple chocolatiers quiet
Get them gone ffs.
Not only that, but Freddie isn’t an outsider either lol… he has been here for their horror show… he has no plausible deniability at all.
I don’t really have a problem with starting Mustafi; normal for a new manager to ring the changes a bit even if it’s just for the sake of change itself. Xhaka is problematic though, likely can only be a choice made on the grounds of trying to appease certain personalities and get the team playing for each other. And fuck that shit.
Or like Emery he rates Xhaka and feels he’s the only one who can get the team playing receiving from defense. Which would be even more worrisome.
Gives me much more hope that kind of press conference than anything we’ve seen from Wenger or emery in the last years. At least he’s talking about actual things
Agreed, it’s encouraging. Especially given the lack of time. But the selections bro. The selections!!!
Embarrassing from that Benge clown. Freddie has been training with these lads for at least six months so that’s a lie.
And honestly I don’t begrudge AFTV they go to every single match, travel to all the games watch this bollocks then go home how ever far away it is.
I see Robbie every other day, outside the Emirates making videos and talking to people, guy lives and breathes this club. So does Lee and DT and I’m sure the others. They have every right to voice their concerns in my opinion.
I wanna see @AbouCuellar on AFTV.
He’ll bamboozle the simple simon ass mofos with big words and clever metaphors
Don’t bring logic into this discussion mate. Not tolerated well here.
Robbie: “What is mediapunta, trequartista, double pivot and Mi Atleti ?!”
There were some nice phases of play from a build-up point of view, and certainly some more confidence being shown in the final third.
Team selection to one side, that was already the best away performance I’ve seen in the league for ages. Can you believe there were points in the game where we had them pinned in their own box? In an away game? Actual players demonstrating ball retention, calmness and patience in the attacking third? Fucking blew my mind.
He’s barely had any time to project his ideas on to these players. Yes, he’s been assistant manager for a few months but he only had the scope to reinforce Emery’s tactics on them.
I’m willing to give him a handful more games before I say he’s complete shite. We should ofc be speaking to agents in the meantime though, and pounce as soon as a top choice agrees to join us.
Yeah true. Fuck sol, you should post more Bhai.
Some encouraging signs. Poor guy has had 2 days with this team. I have no issues if he wants to pick the kids he knows and trusts most.
But please Freddie I beg you, no more Mustafi, and Xhaka kept to a minimum.
Anyways, some more words:
This is a team badly devoid of confidence, they can hopefully regain that soon and everyone will be playing that much better.
Sack him immediately
Nice shoes tbf
