To be as highly rated as he is or was too. Terrible 1st touch for a top player & decision making is somewhere between non existent & brainless.
well a lot went in your favour that day tbh. De Gea activating God mode. Lacazette denied a clear penalty and our 2 most experienced CBs gifting possession with minimal challenge right in front of our defence.
He's like the scarecrow from The Wizard Of Oz "if he only had a brain".
Maybe, but I'm highlighting Arsenal's attacking strength and dynamism. Sometimes, it's only a win that matters - and this was one of those games irrespective of how 'lucky' we were.
Aye, especially with Ozil and Sanchez leaving. To replace that quality in today’s market isn’t really money I see Arsenal investing. Especially as they’re both leaving on a free most probably.
Is there? Wilshere said he's "sure it will get done" just a week ago.
His succesor is going to have a real tough time on his hands.

Wenger gets ban.
Well until it actually happens it's up in the air.
De Gea is paid to do that, it is not a miracle, just a player doing hid job well. Same principle for your CBs being shit as they have been for most games anyway. Lacazette didn't appeal for the pen but it should have been awarded, that at least I can understand being truly frustrating.
And this time he's right (IMO). I see the end!!!
It's only Wenger's Truth. He never sees anything which is contrary to Arsenal's interests, whereas it's the same for all teams. Fact is the rule for penalties is unclear at best and the game nowadays far too fast, and full of conning cheats, for the officials.
No, for the West Brom one. Ball to hand incident. The closest West Brom player wasn't even appealing for a penalty. Mike Dean screwed us over. I'm happy that Wenger expressed his displeasure, a lot of us fans wanted to do the same thing.
Prophets are never recognized in their time. When Wenger is gone they'll base a religion around him.
Yes everyone is paid to their jobs, but that was one of his best performances as far as I know, repelling most attacks single handedly. Why does everyone try to downplay it like it was nothing in this forum?
We can do both. It doesn't have to be one of the other. Besides he is an integral part of the team and has been for many years.Yes everyone is paid to their jobs, but that was one of his best performances as far as I know, repelling most attacks single handedly.

This forum itself has many who complain when the opposition goalie has a great game against yous and that's why you ended drawing/losing a game. How come none says it's the job their paid to do and instead bemoan their 'heroics'?
I would dispute that .. he wasn't the best GK in the world when you bought him but clearly has developed into that
The club played a huge part in that, invested a lot of time and money in him.I would dispute that .. he wasn't the best GK in the world when you bought him but clearly has developed into that
I'm sure a lot of clubs do that with a lot of players .. they don't all turn out to be the world's best in their position though. There's is also luck involved.
All I'm saying is the idea that DDG having a cracking game being seen as some fortunate event is completely false. Like we were lucky he was on top form, that is completely wrong.
Not really luck. Yes there are other factors involved but we have also had two excellent GK coaches in Eric Steele and Frans Hoek who clearly did wonders
