Oh yea, when Kuyt or someone, brought Hleb down from the back I think. Yea, we were a top team back then, probably a tier below the elite, but trending upwards, and it seemed like we genuinely had a shot at winning the title, and going deep into the CL. Too many injuries and moments of defensive stupidity, though, along with some cursed luck with the refs.Hleb being denied a stonewall pen too.. We genuinely were playing like one of the best teams in Europe at the time, cursed season.
We use same criteria to give credit and criticism imo.So do we not field a team
I'm not sure what people were posting but I know I have been saying we still need a new wingers, lb and CB. That was evident when we were winning. Unfortunately rather than sell Alexis and buy a player we wanted he decided to swap for a United cast off.
We fell for it, no doubt. The last half an hour, we didn't do **** all. But there are better ways of winning games and we'll do that eventually. Don't defend them.You can say what you want but the joke is on us today. We were terrible, their players got inside our heads and Dele Alli even managed to get one up on us.
Just won't be looking at social media for 48 hours.
Nobody got inside our head we beat them nicely few weeks ago and if our players were clinical today we beat them nicely againYou can say what you want but the joke is on us today. We were terrible, their players got inside our heads and Dele Alli even managed to get one up on us.

I'm not defending them, I hate the c*nts. We got it all wrong today and fell apart the last 20-25 minutes, we have to accept that imo, we'd be gloating if we won. Hopefully we bounce back and get a couple of wins in the next two.We fell for it, no doubt. The last half an hour, we didn't do **** all.

We’ve discussed so many times on this forum how Özil isn’t typically a difference maker. Does anyone truly believe he would have made the difference tonight?
You're on your own with that.
Exactly. I'm not expecting Özil to put it on a plate every minute of the game, but dropping him for " tactical reasons " then playing Iwobi, who has a first touch Lukaku would laugh at, is an odd one. What does Iwobi even bring to the team? He's dreadful.At this point it's unfortunately not even about being a difference maker, but just straight out being the better footballer. Even if Mesut doesn't pull out trees or make the difference, it's better to have him on for 90 minutes than Iwobi who's just a ****ing liability, cause Özil ist simply the better baller and will make better choices in most cases.
Not going to argue with you that the area does need addressed, but we got much more pressing issues at hand right now. Our defensive line is abysmal. Plus our lack of creativity further forward is worrying.If Xhaka or Torreira goes down , as well he might if he gets exposed like he is , we are stuffed . Not enough depth inquality or experience d there to even finish 6th.
Not saying we shouldn't sign a CM but even with them both in the team, our cbs and wingers are costing. They have to be the priority.If Xhaka or Torreira goes down , as well he might if he gets exposed like he is , we are stuffed . Not enough depth inquality or experience d there to even finish 6th.
Iwobi’s the only one we currently have who can take on and beat a man, problem is, if he manages to get past a defender, his end product usually makes his efforts moot. I also wouldn’t say he has an awful touch, but his technique is very hit or miss.Exactly.
