No problem
Kante winning back every ball like a madman. Meanwhile Torreira timidly chasing French players around not reading the game properly and losing possession. Not very impressed whatsoever.
Kante is the kind of ball winning CM we need. Torreira looks like dog shit compared to him.
A4TT thought he was safe because he didn’t say that in this thread
So glad we finally have a player who just likes to do the so called ugly business. And he is a little terrier, full of energy, tenacious, gritty. His low centre of gravity allows him to make quick turns and get away from trouble and he can pick a pass.
The best thing about him though is that he is only just getting started. Still so young, still so much to learn, and so much better to get.
I also prefaced all these comments with:
Continuing the discussion from Lucas Torreira (signed, closed):
Can’t wait to check him out in the world cup now, but of course international football isn’t a good gauge. Trash Xhkaka even looked decent in the euros a couple years back
And that was my commentary on a match that Torreira had 73% pass completion and was dispossessed 4 times. Meanwhile Kante had an 84% pass completion rate and was disposessed 0 times, so uh yeah Kante made him look like shit in that match. Stop with the revisionist history 🖒
no you were being a trolling cunt like you always are, you cant even admit to what you do when you have it pushed straight in your face.
He’d be a shit troll if he just admitted it. I admire his dedication to be honest.
Motm for me. Wish did better with his great chance but was great burst forward. His recovery and positioning are spot on. Such a smart instinctual positional player.
Lol facts are facts. France and Kante dominated Uruguay and Torreira in that one match where I made my commentary, and I was 100% correct. Immediately after I praised the buy we made and after seeing him play in the preseason for Arsenal I declared he should be in our starting XI in place of Xhaka. My only qualm was that we still needed a Santi replacement. I don’t think any of that is incorrect. Why is this so difficult to comprehend? I dunno
This had me
I scared the shit out of my cat cheering those two tackles haha
Is he a DM as well? :mustafi:
Why Lucas Torreira is Arsenal’s right man in the right situation
The Gunners' sawn-off action hero has proved himself a perfect fit and helped bring the best out of an underachieving team-mate, writes...
Good read this
Sounds reasonable…
“He said to us that he was a little tired and that there was a possibility [he could get injured],” said Unai.
“He was giving us good balance but also we have to be clever because he played with the national team for two matches and sometimes you need to listen to the players when they sometimes need rest.
“Matteo is working very well and also I think we need every player. This change was because we needed to give him a rest.”
Image Wenger. “I couldn’t take him out so i took a gamble. It didn’t pay off”.
We’re going to need him for 90min next weekend, so let him put his feet up for a few days

Image Wenger taking off multiple players over the years for exact same reasoning.
