We need to avoid Atleti and Bayern in Group D what ever we do.
i would play ramsey next to verratti, i would play him instead of rakitic, i would play ramsey on kross role (but that one is debatable) and i would definetly play ramsey instead of Pjanić
but hey, you dont rate him and i do so its really pointless to discuss.
to me ramsey is a top top top quality player.
I was furious that he went into a wild lunge. He needs to get rid of those tackles, as it will cost us dropped points in PL.Wait did you do those asterisks as if we'd understand?
Or does AM now filter out swears in every language
I'd have preferred 'It's My Life' by Dr Alban, but beggars can't be choosers...
Come on, Walker will have Monreal for breakfast.We did well to win, but the defensive performance has me slightly worried. Gibbs is a much better crosser than Monreal, but he showed again how he is also questionable in defense. I'd have Nacho play vs Tottenham, because they don't really have pacy players to trouble him. I'll give Jenkinson a pass for his performance because he's been out for so long, but it looks reminiscent of his past self. Hopefully he irons that out.
Not if Iwobi/Alexis/Ox do a job on him and Gibbs wasn't good tonight in any case. He's not taken his chance at all.Come on, Walker will have Monreal for breakfast.
The streamer probably got equally excited by Mesut's goal, hence the "What is Love" song.
I guess, for some, love is seeing that piece of magic

Iwobi will switch off like he usually does and Alexis will mostly likely play as a striker. That leaves Ox (who has been our best winger defensively) but even then that depends on whether Wenger will play him or Iwobi on the left.Not if Iwobi/Alexis/Ox do a job on him and Gibbs wasn't good tonight in any case.

Kind of summed Ramsey up at his worse for us though, decent position, did some weird turn thing which accidentally knocked the ball to Gibbs then totally fluffed the shot which earned his "assist".I'd say the key thing about Ramsey's assist against Sunderland wasn't whether he was trying to pass to Alexis, which he clearly wasn't, but that he had taken up a dangerous position in the box.
Ramsey isn't the most refined player, but he makes things happen in the final third.

I also don't get the criticism of Gibbs. Yes he was beaten for their second goal and slipped but that has been a usual occurrence for Monreal this season. At least Gibbs contributes positively to our attack.
Monreal got a lot of flack for dropping his performance and so many said Gibbs would be better against pace and 1v1. That hasn't been shown tonight. He was worse than Jenks who has been out for a year. A positive contribution to our attack much of which comes to nothing doesn't outweigh his defensive frailties. I just feel Monreal is more concentrated and smart and has picked up. I'd back Walker to get the better of Gibbs in anything other than a foot race with a head start for our boy. Gibbs also gave away a few silly fouls and just strikes me as thick. I trusted a 2006 Eboue more than him.Iwobi will switch off like he usually does and Alexis will mostly likely play as a striker.

I don't remember much about our home match against them last year but the general point still stands, which is that Monreal has struggled against very quick wide players. He was also much better last season as compared to now.If Theo is fit, it will be the usual Iwobi/Alexis/Theo upfront. Anyway, Monreal has played Walker last year and I don't recall him being in serious trouble vs the Sp**s.
