Get These Hands
Off of my purse !
Did his best Özil impersonation tonight: Totally anonymous and offered is nothing.
Yep. Wouldn't be against a loan to Bundesliga or Championship but make sure he is getting games in CM.Big supporter of Joe. Love his ball carrying ability, dribbling and physique. He just shields the ball so well and quite tidy in possession but he was just shambolic today. Absolutely anonymous and that has been quite the theme this season.
Needs a loan and he's not a #10.
I'm not a fan of Willock but singling him out when there were worse performers on the pitch is not nice
City was walking through him and Guendouzi like they were that wall at the train station in the Harry Potter series.
But Guendouzi seems to get a free ride on here even if he equally as bad. Wonder why. Maybe because he is white?

Why is Luiz getting destroyed by everyone then?City was walking through him and Guendouzi like they were that wall at the train station in the Harry Potter series.

I know all of that. But by your previous logic, it's because he is whiteBecause he has made most errors that lead to goals this season in the league? Because he got the most red cards? Because he has cost his team most penalties?

It's more so that they look busier and always do, but I am not fooled by it.
Willock struggles to get involved in the game when in the 10. This is nothing new. We know this. It's like how Ramsey was always more effective from central midfield. How do you time runs into the box if you are already there just waiting? How do you drive forward of you are waiting for the ball from the person who should be driving forward but can't.
Willock has abilities and traits that suit a deeper position. He has physicality in 50 50 duels and has enough agility to turn and adjust to dribbles. He is also agile enough to time slide tackles and enough pace to get to loose balls quickly. He can spread the ball all over the pitch it he is instructed to. He has that passing range, he can also shoot and finish. However his most visible trait is that he can carry the ball from his own half to the final third Vs ANYBODY. If you can do it vs Liverpool and City. You can do it against anyone.
In this game he did that on a few occasions and he did it from deep. He did it more than Guendouzi and Ceballos, you know why? Because they aren't even capable of doing it. You know when they can do it? In a training game on Arsenal.com videos. Put them in a match and they are running in quick sand. When they get the ball they want to take 5 touches before releasing it. I was watching them every time. It looks neat and tidy holding onto it, drawing 2 players towards you and then passing it backwards, but what use is that? As a midfielder you should be able to assess the situation BEFORE you get the ball. You check your shoulders and you should assess the crowd scene. When you receive it, you should know your options and what you want to do. If you are under pressure you either release it quickly and move or you dribble past it. Ceballos and Guendouzi dribble away from pressure towards their own goal, make a pass and then don't have the speed or agility to dart into space, they just close the space down and point. But on TV it looks fine. In a game if you are the front 3, you are watching that thinking why bother moving, these idiots won't place a pass anyway.
Any team we play finds an out ball. It isn't because our press is rubbish. It's because they have the balls to play it. This forum is safe with Guendouzi, Xhaka and Ceballos because they make you feel safe, they play safe. They only play the ball forward if they are 100 percent sure. That's not good enough. If not we retain possession? To what? Go back to Leno for him to stand on the ball and then kick it long to forwards who don't win aerial duels with midfielders who can't win the second ball. As every game goes on we will pile more and more pressure on ourselves till someone makes a mistake.
AMN did more in 10 minutes that Guendouzi and Ceballos did the entire match. He didn't even have to do much. He ran forwards and backwards. When he got forwards he could recover back. He spent less time on the ball in possession. He played a forward pass that put lacazette in to a position where he should have assisted a goal.
Watch Ceballos on their third goal. He isn't jogging. He is running at full pace and that is the same as AMN jogging. Its ridiculous. Foden is his man. He just needs to follow him into the box, but doesn't bother. His mind isn't even with his club ffs why is he even getting minutes?
I'm sick of our midfield. Looking forward to the next fa cup game where we actually see some agility and pace in there.
Torrreira, Xhaka injured. Ceballos and Guendouzi will start in a double pivot. Absolute joke. Have some balls and play Saka willock and AMN together.
