Some of you seriously comparing shaw and alonso? Come on, alonso is level above
Even for a wing back last season he was defensively awful. He might be a good LM, but he's not good in the role he's currently playing in, and would be crucified by Mourinho.That's because he's not a fullback. He made his name is Serie A playing as a LM/LW mostly for Fiorentina and Conte bought him specifically to play as a wing back with 3 CBs. At which he excels. He's the best in the league in that role.
Pretty tough start to be fair.It seems Arsenal will have a lot worse season than ours under Moyes.
In hairstyles? yeahSome of you seriously comparing shaw and alonso? Come on, alonso is level above
I don't think that's really benefited Arsenal, that's what I'm saying. In a defensive or offensive sense. playing out from the back generally needs a team to play a high defensive line which actively hurt Arsenal in the first half.I'm not talking about their defence, they're both all over the place. I mean passing the ball out and getting the ball out to your forwards properly. It has nothing to do with defensive ability
True but they need to get better quickly. Wouldn't be surprised if they end up 10th.Pretty tough start to be fair.
Harsh. They were pretty good at times here, especially going forward... could easily have scored 5 first half. They've played City and Chelsea away in their first two league games, can't really be judged at this point.It seems Arsenal will have a lot worse season than ours under Moyes.
He’s a United fan.Why does Ramsey always smile after missing a chance ?
Wow. What a cnut. How do you avoid jail after doing that...Here you go
Decent player though, impressive for a 19 yo, steady throughout the game, good composure with the ball, light on his feet, can turn away from pressure and has a good range of pass. Looks a good pick up for Arsenal, will be interesting to watch him develop, Xhaka is not the man for the PL.Guenstefani looks like a wet poodle there
Can't believe the black heart doesn't work here. Devastating.I agree![]()
Our fullbacks are miles behind the other teams. It's not even up for debate. Shaw is good compared the other guys in our team but it's frightening how other teams use their fullbacks to devastating effect. It's so important they can dribble, cross, and make the difference at the other end.Some of you seriously comparing shaw and alonso? Come on, alonso is level above
Agreed. Excellent find for them. Cost them only £7m I think.Decent player though, impressive for a 19 yo, steady throughout the game, good composure with the ball, light on his feet, can turn away from pressure and has a good range of pass. Looks a good pick up for Arsenal, will be interesting to watch him develop, Xhaka is not the man for the PL.
Not as a fullback he isn't. Alonso is very good in the attacking third, but look at him defensively today, and to be honest throughout his Chelsea career. He just can't play that role without leaving you incredibly vulnerable down that side.Some of you seriously comparing shaw and alonso? Come on, alonso is level above
He's looked like the best Arsenal midfielder, but not great. Just shows the level of the other Arsenal midfielders when he can come in and look a level above them.Decent player though, impressive for a 19 yo, steady throughout the game, good composure with the ball, light on his feet, can turn away from pressure and has a good range of pass.

There's no point debating full backs with United fans on here.Not as a fullback he isn't.

Yeah it's really sad. He makes the 60.000 euros in a week. That's the price of killing someone. A week's salary.Feck I actually liked Alonso until I read the above. Just goes to show prison is only for poor people in our enlightend free world.
Also how does it take 5 years to sentence him.
Yep. Not a single shot from Arsenal in the second half.Game of two halves..
Yeah, fair enough, although he plays quite deep, so usually when a playmaker does that he needs to have an excellent positioning or a DM alongside him. I actually pull back what I said about a need to have DM alongside him, though, and think it's more about the system and adding one more player who is very good in the defensive phase.Yeah I am not judging a play maker by his defensive work. There are dozens of midfielders who can put in a shift, but only very few have the talent he has.
He does actually look like a good prospect.Decent player though, impressive for a 19 yo, steady throughout the game, good composure with the ball, light on his feet, can turn away from pressure and has a good range of pass.

Solid runs, good dribbling, looks hungry, seemingly changed the midfield once Barkley went off and he came on.How did Kova do?
That doesn’t sound right. Ramsey and Iwobi had some shots unless you mean on target.Yep. Not a single shot from Arsenal in the second half.
Instantly made us better when he came on and he's barely trained with the team. Great understanding between he, Hazard, and Jorginho.How did Kova do?
Having the best legal team money can provide.Wow. What a cnut. How do you avoid jail after doing that...
True, but then the competition is Xhaka, slower than erosion, squad players like Elneny and Torreira is a dog, proper workhorse but not much quality. Add in Aaron Ramsay being one of the most overrated players in the league and you have a weak group.He's looked like the best Arsenal midfielder, but not great. Just shows the level of the other Arsenal midfielders when he can come in and look a level above them.
pretty good. He clearly is working very hard.How did Kova do?
Supposedly he paid a lot to the girls family, and his trial was so delayed it made more sense to the judge to fine him and ban him from driving. Of course the case had taken so long that his driving ban had already expired by the time the case was finished so he could legally drive away from court.Wow. What a cnut. How do you avoid jail after doing that...
My point is, passing out from the back is something basic every other team does quite routinely, we are not just good at it. Its why our forwards get to rely on hoofs all the time. And why any team can put us under pressure as once we get the ball we just hoof it back. Its pretty basicI don't think that's really benefited Arsenal, that's what I'm saying. In a defensive or offensive sense. playing out from the back generally needs a team to play a high defensive line which actively hurt Arsenal in the first half.
Yeah I saw an image of the stats when it was still 2-2 and it said 0 attempts, silly me thought it was after the game.That doesn’t sound right. Ramsey and Iwobi had some shots unless you mean on target.
Impressive debut I thought.How did Kova do?
Why would we want to copy teams involved in a 3-2 as if their passing out from the back was a successful strategy? They can’t defend for shit.My point is, passing out from the back is something basic every other team does quite routinely, we are not just good at it.
