Nuno Tavares: The False #3

[tcahill]

People here need to chill. Sure he had a clanger today, but he's been on a very strong run for a 21 year old backup. Honestly I thought he held his own against Salah, arguably the most in form player in the world right now.

He obviously couldn't cope with the Liverpool press, however he was far from the only one in our team.

The best thing to do would be to play him against Newcastle. If you're dropping players for one poor performance Tierney would've been dropped ages ago. Why should it be one rule for one guy and another rule for another?

Weird situation on here with Tavares. People deciding he's the bee's knees off the back of 300 PL minutes against fairly mediocre sides.

You can't be making mistaking like that at this level of football, you just can't.

In an ideal world he'd be on loan at a lower PL side for a season or so to round his game off.

He's one of those that has all the physical components but lacks the mental side currently, which is to be expected at this stage of his career.

Get those flaws ironed out and we've got a really good player on our hands.

I’ve never seen this not backfire in professional football you know

A lot of these young guys were really feeling themselves leading up to this match, hopefully they gain some humility from this and not have their confidence knocked entirely.

This was a horrible result but maybe it will teach these guys some things as well. If they can pick themselves up again for the next match

This is going to be a tough situation with Tavares now for sure. He definately has good potential to play consistently but everyone has their learning curves, if we drop him right now because of 1 mediocre performance against one of the top teams, it may put his confidence right down but we can't just forget about Tierney now out of the blue.

I liked Tavares yesterday. Didn't hide.

He has a very strong presence. Maybe we should move him into CM or LW.

Because Tierney has proven himself.

Tavares is a rookie who has looked somewhat decent in handful of games against mostly average opposition.

I wouldn’t single him out. Gabriel’s marking for the Mane header was woeful and they easily took the ball of White when he tried his runs. We were pulled out of shape and when they got in behind us in the second half there was panic all round, like a rout in battle.

You and your BS optimism have been getting stuff wrong on this forum for years now bro. You’ve probably got one of the worst ratios around here.

When did you turn into such a sour ******?

You seem very bitter mate. I hope everything's okay at home.

 

[Riou]

Think Arteta will bring Tierney in, but I would play Nuno v Newcastle...he's a better attacker which we will need in a home game, plus I don't want the last game to dent his confidence too much as he has been good so far.

Save Tierney for United away, that's a massive game.

...media did him dirty

Shocked they lied to make an Arsenal player look bad, really not like Talkshite.

He got so much hate for that made up quote as well, sad.

I think you only did it, because Nuno seems like the type of nutter to say it.

He's looks the type to bring a knife to a gun fight, then throw the knife away and start punching everyone.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Crying, kinda wish he had of said it tho.

Leo turns up every now and then to have a go at people. He's like me if i ****ed off for 2 years at a time.

Disgusting tbh and a bit typical of how Arsenal is treated in the media. As a fanbase, arguing amongst ourselves is a bit different but we really should be challenging these narratives from outsiders.

Agreed @Riou, reading his other interviews it didn't seem that out of character tbh.

Media lie?

Agreed...

...better to have cocky characters in your team, imo.
