Starting tonight for Nice.

Why hasn't anyone told the Nice manager he's not ready?

[Yousif Arsenal]

Yes he starting and that's good to see.

i think their main cb Dante is out for few months. him not ready was BS excuse Arteta just didn't want to rush him into PL.

 

[drippin]

Nice plays with 3 CB's, and Dante is injured for the season. One of the CB's took a straight red in last game so he is out for 3 games.

I think the reason Arteta didn't play him was to not get Arsenal fans on his back if he made a mistake. This would not be good for someone who has just lost a parent (or two? Any new info on that?). Now it has been something like 6-9 months, and I'd assume everyone thinks he has recovered enough mentally.

In any case I'd like to remind people that we paid 30 million euros for him, which was divided into 7 instalments if I remember correctly. That's hardly affecting our business in the near future.

Well time to tune in and see how unready he is

Due to the Ligue 1 termination and Arteta he hasn't played a profesional match since the 08.03.2020

Not even trained normally with Nice too, so hopefully this will go well today.

Edit: Oh, nice already 2:0 down. Great.

Saliba yellow card and they 2 goals down not the best starts

 

[Bloodbather]

My little brother loves players way before his time through the icons on Fifa & wonder of Youtube

Nowadays, the claims of "kids these days" being ignorant of the past are not as generally applicable as they used to be. It still holds true to some extent, of course, but the internet allows the opportunity for that not to be the case at all. The kid just has to be interested.

Saliba yellow card and they 2 goals down not the best starts

Not at fault for either though.

Particularly the second. An undercut back pass. It really is a farmer's league at times

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

If United didn't win anything significant for the guys of 20 years I doubt new transfers would be saying I have always dreamt of playing for United after playing with Scholes in legends mode and watching a 3 minute clip of 1999 CL final.

We were the best offer Saliba had on the table. Money wise and probably the biggest club. What was the competition. Sp**s?

Not true. A few of the players who joined Liverpool/Utd maybe 10 years ago talked about their fathers who reminisced about say Liverpool of the 70's. That appreciation was passed on to the son. We used to be called Francenal in France which was a big deal for our club with no European pedigree.

Yes the quality is not really great for their bottom 10 clubs and it's surprising considering how talented their academies are

Our early 2000s team has an immense level of influence. It happened at a time TV coverage of the PL had become much more widely available and the outreach of the PL had undergone a significant boost as a result. Obviously, it had the biggest level of influence in France because of the number of Frenchmen on the team.

It's also relevant because that was a golden age for the French national team also, which has had the impact of being inspiration for many French children of the time. There's a reason France has become such an hotbed of wonderkids lately, the wonderkids of now were kids when France was having its heyday.

 

[Blood on the Tracks]

So the good standard of the French league was one of the reasons stated for why it was odd Saliba wasn't a starter here.

Today it's a poor standard league

I'm not knocking Saliba, he obviously has ability but he looked very raw to me from what I saw in the under 23's. I'm not overly surprised he's been loaned out. I think he needs some seasoning.

 

[field442]

The amount of people on social media absolutely rimming Arteta for the decision not to include him after he has had a tricky first 45 minutes. It’s not like it’s his first proper game in 10 months for a team he has never trained with

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Why hasn't anyone told the Nice manager he's not ready?

Well, looks like they should have told him. :confused:

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

if he poor or not i really don't carehe'll play at least 20 games in top level league rather than being stuck with U23.

 

[A_G]

Well, looks like they should have told him. :confused:

Yeah they should've told him he'd be rusty in his first real game in ages.
