Gabriel Paulista: No Entiendo

[say yes]

Bit of a downer when you remember that even David Luiz looks like a good defender in a back 3.

Wears his heart on his sleeve

so why not edit it instead of posting again?

Absolutely loved watching this dead eyed Brazilian psycho destroy everything in his path today. More of the same please!

 

[arsmile]

He was outstanding...back 3 covers his flaws in decision making because he has cover so he is 99% right to go out and engage and be physical....game is much simpler.

If you wanna hug Kuyt, feel free.

good video but i reckon there's a couple of potential bookables there if the officials having an (even more) off day, against Silva and Sane

As if I can reveal such info. One day you will understand.

Sane one looks a harsh one to give a yellow, if he meant it then it's well disguised.

He had the type of performance that we usual have to deal with from Wanyama etc.

yeah i agree, just mean that some officials will penalise those - the Silva one was worse i think - still we do need someone who can be a bit physical, it's really been missing since Coq lost the plot

Loved his reaction at the final whistle. You cannot hate on a guy who shows so much passion for the team.

Well...

 

[Goon-Ger]

Best game i have seen him have in an Arsenal shirt. His reading of the game yesterday was exceptional.

 

[Jack the lad]

When he got a run in last year and today he was absolutely fantastic. I love his passion for the game, we need more passion in this team and i think he and xhaka have that in abundance.

I will leave this here, he absolutely followed good ol Pacino yesterday.

Gareth Parker on the Footballistically Arsenal podcast said that the club need more players who lack intelligence, so they can just battle and not worry too much. Gabriel could certainly help with that. I've always had a soft spot for Gabriel who has never yet had a consistent enough run of games in his best position to really show what he can do. Also, with back up centre backs, you don't need to expect too much. Just having proper cover there is an improvement on the season when Koscielny, Mertesacker and Chambers were the only CBs at the club. His lack of ability to learn English might be a cultural thing that we don't understand.

Sad thing is the poor bugger can't read all the nice things we're saying about him.

If you move to any country, you learn the language. He can afford the best Portuguese to English teacher in London.

Not everyone adapts at the same speed. Plenty of players from Europe have taken time to adapt. Some players never settle. Gabriel has a lot to deal with in terms of getting used to his new environment while adapting to football at a new club. No doubt he will learn better English than he has done so far in time, but the priority is to keep all of his plates spinning. It is well known that Arsenal have groups within the squad (Spanish speaking, German speaking, English speaking), and that culture will not be helping the pace at which he learns the language overall. He didn't get signed to be a linguist, he came to play football.
