Sigh. It’s called exaggeration mate. Done to stress the point. There’s been a bunch of posters that said we were making a mistake selling him. There’s a bunch on here that’s spoken of how he’s looking so much better under an “attacking” manager / manager with a system etc. etc.
Lingard snatched Mkhi's position from him but okay.
Talk about knee-jerk. Wait till he goes into hiding when the going gets tough (i.e, any away match for Arsenal) bet you any amount of money he won't be their saviour.
Careful with your normal analysis.
Yeah Lingard has absolutely been better than him.
He did, doesn't mean he is the better player.
This!
ABU of course.
The guy is 29 years old. In no way he can be compared to KDB and Salah who were starting their career by this time.
well that doesn't make any sense
He was piss poor for us for some reason. Made the wrong decisions constantly, simple things like dribbling into several defenders and losing the ball, instead of releasing the ball quick happened way too often, that isn’t an issue with “style”. I rate Mkhi, but he played himself out of the club with poor performances like Evans.
I'm saying Lingard got the place over Mhiki after Jose decided he had, had enough.
This!
Lingard is a better player; unless you are specifically taking the best version of Mkhitaryan and comparing it to the worst version of Lingard.
He's always been a confidence player. He had a good run once he got back in the team, but you always felt like he was going to be in and out and never really a fixture in the side. He played himself out of the side of course, but I don't think he ever felt fully comfortable in the club as it was obvious he was never really suited to us. Once he lost his confidence for a second time, don't think he was ever going to fully recover as he just doesn't seem the type who can handle that. Loads of talent, but always been a bit too weak mentally for Mourinho's liking IMO. At Arsenal I think he'll just feel more comfortable throughout and he'll pretty much always play. Also has a previously great understanding with their now star striker. So conditions are much better there for him to go in and play well consistently.
i would very much argue that. i think our attack is the place where we've got the most quality options. if anything, we need another midfielder and some help in defense.
He is better than Welbz though. Dont think it will, mainly cause Mkhi is not a Mourinho player. He would always play better at Arsenal realistically, but it wont stop people moaning about not getting the best out of him
Yes, I do. Well, as of now, they are behind us by 1 goal. Not enough to negate my viewpoint.
How often are Arsenal on "full song" though?
Attacking? Often. For all their criticism, they're a very good side attacking wise. Their struggles have been at the other end. Hence everyone saying that Pierre and Mhki doesn't solve any of their critical problems (apart from replacing Sanchez).
Yeah, i agree with a lot of that. The style of play excuse just triggered me a bit. He had plenty of chances to be a baller for us, but he bottled it, more often than not because of wrong decision making.
Yes but we're against a side which doesn't have quite good anywhere in their attack. Its either good or top quality. Same with our UCL opponents. I like Lingard I think he offers alot. Starting 11, I think we need to raise that standard.
Pretty much, best for him and the club that he was moved on and we got Sanchez. Best for all parties involved.
Dude, he is playing great. Passing, recovering, defending, assisting and shooting.
Not even attacking wise though this season.
Yes, in one game when there is no pressure. Mkhi is a good player and we all knew it. He just is not cut out for the very top level due to his mentality.
It's a very straightforward conclusion to draw
Not really. Just goes to prove some players aren't talented enough to adapt to a different style.
