FA Cup 4th Round: Southampton v Arsenal | Saturday, January 23 | KO: 12:15 UTC | BT Sport

[El Duderino]

Genuinely like I get Pepe hasn't lived up to his hype but someone please tell me what he's meant to do this half when the midfield hasn't found him whatsoever?

Literally impossible to get anything when Willian and Elneny are playing for Southampton.

I’d switch him to the left, him and Bellerin are just not working together.

 

[Trilly]

@Trilly you holding out for the Pepe sub before you say it, right?

I think even Arteta knows that Pepe>Willian at this moment in time.

I reckon he’ll last 90.

 

[Ripe Banana]

Nketiah hasn’t shown anything this season. I am unsure why he was not loaned out. Why so much loyalty to him?

i'd like to know this too. There's nothing to his game

 

[Lady_Gooner]

JWP was like 17 when he broke into the first team for them.

It’s a lot for me to keep up. Arteta & scott p are managers, JWP is only 26. Carroll still plays.

How are you feeling after covid?

Much better but Arsenal genuinely getting me down. Haven't believed this 'form' we've apparently been in because we've scored a few goals against relegation teams.

 

[drippin]

Overreaction, Elnenys not in good form currently but he's still a solid player.

Would you be criticizing him so much if he was European?

Would you criticize my comment so much if I wasn't Finnish? We're a minority in the World. Please don't be racist.

I said yesterday in the Xhaka thread this exact comment, and it hasn't changed. Xhaka is a good squad player for Arsenal. Elneny isn't.

 

[Rimaal]

Mental that Elneny even got a contract extension in the first place

Blame Edu.

 

[Rasmi]

I thought we played good football first half. More of this and I may become Arteta in guy

 

[Lady_Gooner]

Defo DM’ing @Lady_Gooner if we come back to win this with Pepe being MOTM.

The rejection doesn’t hurt as much when your agendas come through.

Go away you nuisance

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Also why is Cedric being hammered? He's been asked to play out of position and has been instructed to just cross the ball in, one of our better players again.

I know it's Edu and Kia to blame but Cedric is on 70 k per week for the next 4 years and has his wife. I'm hating on him at least for an hour per day.

 

[Maybe]

Gabriel looks quite rusty, to be expected after covid...was it Willian who gave the ball away for the goal?

Gabriel was decent, can't blame him for an unlucky deflection. Holding, Bellerin and Cedric all being abysmal

 

[Monstar-Gunn4r]

Gabriel needs to help Cedric out in attack a bit more. Does nothing to draw his man out of shape.

Hes constantly making runs? The commentators mentioned it a few times that hes doing it even more out of the view of the camera

Back at it I see

 

[celestis]

I think he's too worried about a possible counter.

He is disappearing into the box though , too early.

 

[Riou]

Their pressing is very good though... hes been hyping up Martinelli, its a bit harder to try and hype up Willian and Pepe

Every team is a pressing team it feels now though, hardly something you don't see in most games

Maybe you're right, would like our legends to be a bit more with us on comms...least it's not Alan Smith though.

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

If West Ham are daft enough to offer £20M for Nkeitah we better bite their ****ing hand off.

 

[Trilly]

Please stop harassing the ladies on this forum!

Lmao notice how I always pick impossible situations? Dw I want to impress you, I won’t be creepy forum guy!

We probably aren’t coming back to win it and I highly doubt that Pepe will be MOTM. Just let me dream a bit, I’ve already been rejected like 53273 times by Rimaal.

 

[bingobob]

Willock for Willian. Just realised Ceballos isn't on the bench either otherwise I'd have him on instead of Willian. Give him either of them a bash in midfield. Couldn't be any worse than Willian.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Good times. I remember when he jumped out of tackles to save himself for England while we were in a title race. Glad he’s not at our club anymore.

Wtf? What good would it do in our title race for him to get tackled?

I hate this geezer but this is a good point:
