He doesn't watch ball, he only reads updates and commentary on nairaland and goal.com

If you had any shame you will keep quiet and bury your head in the sand

Fuchs didnt turn 30 till 3 weeks to the end of the season, Same with Okazaki so they effectively played that season as an under 30 player
Simpson was under 30

Only Huth and Morgan were over 30 for the bulk of the season.

This is the team you want to compare to Kolarov 31, Sagna(34), Toure 33, Silva 31 Fernandinho(32)? subs Navas 31, Zabaleta 31, Clichy 31

You really need Orheptal blood tonic

Lol. Xhaka was bang average against a very poor Sunderland team that is rock bottom on the EPL. He even got disspossed of the ball sometimes during the match because he was caught napping on the ball.

Xhaka is a poor player, I would always be here to remind you all.
If he has any quality in him, he is yet to show it in Arsenal colours. Xhaka can't mix it up with the big boys in the midfield, he would be outplayed and Arsenal will always pay for it.

WHy is Chelsea City and Man Utd included? CHelsea are defending champs, City and Manure Because of the potential of what they can do in the market

Same hold for Italy and Germany

Bayern is champs, what Leipzig can do in the market makes them a favorite. They came from divison 2 and got one of Germanys most sought after striker in Werner now finished 2nd. Who knows what more they can do when they have the attraction of CL football, and enough money to spend

Same with Italy. Milan is a traditional team they just got bought by a rich consortium, they have the name to attract and now the money



Those are the type of moves that make a non contender a potential winner. Thats why I am considering Man Utd who finished 6th as a likely winner, because of how much they can potentially spend in the market to get quality

Same applies to Milan and Leipzig

The standard in Spain and germany is higher thats why they sack coaches who dont deliver.

Its only in EPL you will have a Wenger go 13yrs without a league and still have a job or David Moyes coach Everton for almosta decade without a trophy to his name

Tony Adams, Steve Mclaren, Gary Neville, even Fergusn assistant Quieroz who went outside were sharply dismissed

raumdeuter:
He means the standard in the EPL is lower than anywhere else.
Isnt that obvious

Joseph Adikam, make season end and all your dreams come true, if not.....

No top 4 for Arsenal this season... Spy360, sod9, kokaneprodigy

no league for manure next season too...

sinizia:
My anger with Mourinho in this match was him bringing in Mhiki, Rashford and Co. I mean our key players like Rojo, Ibra and Zlatan are out of the finals. Why risk the few quality ones we need for the finals?

What if Mhiki or Rash got injured? Since he's given up on top 4, he'd preserve those he wants for the finals and play feeders team for the rest of the matches. I don't want few key players like Herrera getting injured.

elampiro:
The question is why can't we play our own game instead of trying to defend? We should not allow opposition to build easily. All our forwards and midfielders retire to our half immediately we lose the ball thereby giving the opposition plenty space to plan and build.

The moment we decided to play a high defence and attack, Tottenham became afraid. They were even wasting time. So why can't we always play our game?

Smalling was actually shaking, I hope he gains his confidence before the Europa final. I think Jones should be allowed to play on the right side of defence to get the ball out of defence faster. Smalling is poor on the ball and Jones cant use left foot, so none of them is getting the ball out comfortably. However, with return of Valencia in the Europa final, we could get comfortable going forward from the back.

Wayne Rooney might not be the Wayne we used to know, but he gave three perfect final passes that could have resulted in goals.

Lest I forget, Mata, Lingard and Mkhitaryan didn't come to work today.

Thursday nights it is next season then. I always rated Europa League

Branzy:
show me ur UCL

Lana1:
Ode!

Roland17:
Again, Ramsey performs best when he shoulders no responsibility of holding the ball or dictating the pace of the offense. He thrives when he makes incisive runs, problem is, he is not a good finisher.

Great job Ramsey.

Branzy:
tell that to ur ex Skippo Fabergas who wasted 7rs in Arsenal

kokaneprodigy:
That's not the right question, the question is y now?
Ans: his precious top four is slipping away.

It's visible to the blind that Wenger ain't ambitious abt EPL trophy, and only presses the panick button and tweaks things if the UCL spot is slipping outta his grips.
It's sad, he needs to go.

Roland17:
Rightly so. That was an obvious call the linesman overlooked.
