Is Zaha English?

 

[Makingtrax]

She ain't pretty, but she's got tits.

You should have watched the game bro. Porn hub later.

 

[SA Gunner]

Apart from a couple of errors Bellerin played well today. If Laca had been further forward he might have converted one or two.

Much better.

Still think Bellerin is in awful form. Misplaced passes and positioning not correct. Better than previous games though.

Still think it’s time for him to be dropped.

 

[tap-in]

3 pts away from home, only the 3rd time this season, hooray! Managed to hold on despite Wenger continuing to sub off our record signing. It's like he's forgotten how to build confidence in a player. I can understand a change at 3-1 up but by removing an attacker you automatically invite the opposition to attack. What happened to the best form of defense is to attack? Wenger used to quote that regularly, now it's reduce your attack and keep your fingers crossed.

 

[skip spence]

We can surely do better than Zaha as well.

Are we linked with him? Please no, I agree we can do better. We already do in fact.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Chelsea lost 2-1 at Palace. We dominated most of that match and played some good football.

We are second best team in the division. Show how good manager Wenger really is.

We are just lacking something, don't want to call it luck. But win against United, Watford and Stoke which we should have and we are second place. Think the problem is the players really. They are not paying the faith back that manager has in them.

 

[CurryFlavoured]

Lots of positives today, but the main ones;

Sanchez phenomenal, and Xhaka/Wilshere worked better than ever. We controlled the game and could've scored more.

The big **** off glaring weakness - we can't stop conceding. 25 in 20 games now, that's really really poor. 15 conceded in 10 away games. You simply won't (and we haven't) pick up wins away if you're conceding 1-2 goals every time.

It's also getting to the point where Bellerin may need a game or two on the bench.

You reckon mate ? Thought Bellers was awful defensively.

 

[Camron]

He’s been impressive for 75% of his Arsenal career.

I find most Arsenal fans are either too harsh or don’t know how to judge a young player.

He always looked shaky, lacking confidence and physique. Middlesbrough toughened him up probably. Maybe he shouldn't have been judged based on those appearances as a youngster, but impressive he was not.

Promising performances though the last few games.

 

[A_G]

Is Zaha English?

Similar to Iwobi, except with Ivory Coast instead of Nigeria

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

What has to happen, that Bellerin would be benched by Wenger ?

We'd need a replacement we don't currently have.

 

[blaze_of_glory]

Are we linked with him? Please no, I agree we can do better. We already do in fact.

Yeah, been some rumours we might go for him. I'd much rather Mahrez.

I find most Arsenal fans are too harsh and don’t know how to judge any player.

Fixed

The right hand side was awful defensively. Both Lacazette and Özil refused to help out.

 

[A_G]

Happens to every player.

happens to some more than others

 

[Big Poppa]

Chelsea lost 2-1 at Palace. We dominated most of that match and played some good football.

That was by far their worst performance of the season. That's a benchmark? I agree we played some decent football but we need to be far more clinical and purposeful in our play. We're getting obliterated on GD by our rivals.

 

[kraphtous]

As if doing ok against Wilfried Zaha is some sort of achievement

Tired of praising these crappy performances from young players just because they are young. How can anyone with a straight face praise Chambers after that garbage performance is just hard to understand.

 

[arsmile]

I think with chambers...he's just always exposed for his lack of pace

apart from that he's fine

per needs to teach him his game

 

[GDeep™]

happens to some more than others

Happens to most of our squad. Happens to Lukaku and Sterling quite abit too.

 

[pacstud]

You reckon mate ? Thought Bellers was awful defensively.

Without knowing the plan, I thought our right side was "awful" defensively.

Hate to say it was just Bellerin with Chambers nearby.

Good news, the "Mustafi sucks" crowd took a hit. How a team so bereft of quality defenders can knock a guy of that quality is beyond me, but here we are.

 

[blaze_of_glory]

Yup. And to reward him he should be there past the 70 min mark to poach a goal. Strikers need goals for confidence.

Yeah I mean I get the thinking of taking him off for a defensive player, but it really didn't help today.
