Did you not see how unstable we were when he was dropped? HEHE I see your point. Just can't believe it has come to this.
That is just the level this team is at in terms of confidence. They didn't play worse individually without him. It is so painful to watch the defensive malaise after growing up on a George Graham drilled team! Just what is Steve Bould actually allowed to do?

Sit on the bench during games. Can't see anything that suggests he does more than that.

There were stories from that Camden bloke dating back to last season he was unpopular within the team and from Chile NT him and Vidal egoe's were constantly clashing . No crime in being unpopular though .
He seems a lot closer with his Chile teammates than he is with anyone at Arsenal tbh.

Probably is , coming from Chile hed have more in common with the other South Americans , although from Gabe reaction to Alexis putting his arms around him on the bench, he's in his bad books too .

This would have blown over except it got leaked .

Be magnificently bald.

It's a talent.

One member of Arsenal’s backroom staff privately commented that there are many times where he would like to angrily castigate the players but then he’d look at some of them and “think they’d cry”.

Don't know if this is true, but it would indicate that the coaching staff is wel aware of the issues at the club and that they choose not to do anything about it.

Can understand a player with Alexis' mentality losing it in such an environment. He's not only doing the work of some of the players, but it seems like he did the job of the coaching staff too (and got punished for it:lol:).

There is no reason to believe that Steve Bould isn't doing a perfectly adequate job as control freaks no.2. He sits , listens and sometimes even talks. He also shows frustration. Nobody knows what he says or doesn't say in the changing rooms.

Terrible hot takes
Also, you don't see people wetting themselves whenever Özil hrows strops on the pitch (and he does) while contributing the square route of zilch. Oh, It's because he cares whenever he does it, or the great man just 'expects more'. He also 'deserves better' etc etc.

:lol:

I like Özil to and even defend him!

Yeah he doesnt defend much but his strenghts and skills lay elsewhere

We should be able to field a team that can benefit from his strenghts

You have to remember John is a fan too and probably frustrated by the performances. He is not saying anything that is not true either. Sanchez should not be singled out as either better or worse than any other player in recent weeks.

He has clearly been our best player this season, but is not great recently. In the past we had players that could drag a team over the line. But now our best players are not in that class and the team need more dragging too!

What I don't understand is how John cross and some fans can dig alexis out for maybe having a bad couple of games!!

Let's get a few things straight! He's our best players, our leading goal scorer, our only real world class player! And he drops him for a bad couple of weeks in my eyes he plays every game not matter how bad he's been!

Why hasn't coq been dropped? Why hasn't bellerin been dropped! What hasn't Theo been sold why is the ox constantly hot and cold? Why is Özil not been told to man up?

Double standards I say and the media drip feeding us lies, Sanchez is a winner and winners want to win and not settle playing with and for the rubbish he's playing with at the moment! I would rather wenger leave then Sanchez, it will really highlight what a weak minded club we are!

Can't deny that others should have been dug out before Alexis, but his form and decision making has gradually been getting worse for a while now.

That may be a frustration because of his one-man press and general poor performances and lack of effort from others of course.

However, when you are obviously trying to show others in a bad light, you had better be spotless yourself. If he kept quiet, most fans would be doing the talking for him.

Good Robert cleared that up Alexis was just angry because of bad tackle not a bust up.

Much ado about nothing?

While we're at it I'd love to give Bobby a go as DoF, seeing we're not gonna try for some more high profile names out there.

So much class.
