When fit Eric Dier has barely missed a game under Poch. His versatility is crucial for Poch and how he has shaped his squad. He is not being sold before Wanyama or other players who have no signed contracts.
to be honest I don't care what happens to other teams. that is out of our control..... If we win all of our remaining games then we put ourselves in a position to win the league - and that should be our aim! Whether it happens or not is the ride we get to "enjoy"....
Son was almost on his way out at the end of his first year. His second year was a big improvement (although still patchy)... his third year onwards he has become consistently impressive and key to our play...
We all want players to come in and hit the ground running but Sometimes it Just takes time
I agree. If the opportunity to strengthen is there then we should do it.
But to put it in perspective, I would say that Pocj probably feels there is more guarantee from a player he trusts and promotes from within than spending big bucks on an unknown quantity, potentially from another league...
I don't understand how we played with llorente and yet it felt like we only really started pinging balls into the box in the 91st minute. The gameplan should have been more varied with an emphasis on trying to get the best out of llorente with dele playing just off him... however for the...
We did nothing wrong in celebrating our goals. We celebrated on the pitch. They actually were much worse which has been overlooked.
As for the dressing room celebrations - arsenal have previous form of premature celebrations like this. They are idiots.
All that matters is where we are come the...
I don’t care. Need to beat the best to be the best.
It takes all teams time to get to speed with elite European football. For example Man City started getting regularly into the champions league 7 seasons ago:
Season 1 - did not progress from group
Season 2 - did not progress from group
Season...
Isn’t it his job as the coach to set up how we play and to get this message across to the players? The lack of urgency and side-to-side passing, along with the other observations, are nothing new to our team...
maybe peeps are forgetting that liverpool and chelsea still have to play each other - ie. either the team above us or the team below us will not get 3 points (or both if its a draw).
But when have you seen him actually put his foot in and tackle? He isn't even a disrupt or like wanyama. At least he hasn't played like one. He jogs between players with the ball without really closing them down or putting pressure on them. I agree with what has been said, he just isn't for us.
A couple of seasons ago I honestly thought Dembele was on his way out. I thought exactly the same with Son after his first season... I have been proven wrong both times! There is still hope for Aurier....
He showed what he is about. Sanchez is good (surprisingly so for his first season and given his age) and has massive potential to be amazing but Toby is clearly the better defender at this moment in time... He and Jan need to both start (+ or - Sanchez depending on whether we play 3 or 2 at the...
with regards to wages , I don't think any of us believe we can or should match utd/chelsea/city (top 3 highest) who have a total wage bill of £240M to £260M. (2017 figures) however we certainly need to do something.
Our total wage bill was @ £120M (6th highest) and to to put it in perspective...
exactly.... we are showing a year-on-year improvement on an upward curve. We all know we have the 6th highest wages (actually being closer to 7th than 5th) and we are restricted in terms of spend on our squad so you can't expect the team to just go and beat europe's elite at the first or second...
Poch has previous. He Did this to harry Kane all of last season. It’s tough love - no room for sentimentality... will make him work harder to get a hat-trick next time...
I wish arsenal HAD attacked from the beginning... the contest would have been over in the first half. Instead they played like west ham with 10 men behind the ball and looked for a lucky break on the counter. Mourinho-esque bus Parking from Wingher... except it didn’t work.
