Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - RIP Diogo Jota

You're likely right but do you think he brings enough to be in the team ?
I think the 4 are just variations of the same position and a Cabella or a Cabaye fits in a different one and therefore brings another weapon to the team while a Sissoko will just mod an existing one. But that's Deschamps, since Marseille, he relies on a strong midfield and a double pivot so I won't say that what he does isn't logical regarding his past.

Sissoko is good as an impact sub when you chasing games, not good enough to be in the startin XI tho compared to everyone else in the squad. The issue that Deschamps has at the moment is that all the talented players that France can choose from, they all in the inexperience age range/international level amd hes still tryin to qualify for a world cup. Belgium got away with forming their team with a bunch of young players because a) In football terms theyre not on France level, b) theyve struggled for a long time, so they had to change it up and they were blessed with a crop all in the same age range all within 5-6 years of each other and still have another 4-6 years to play with each other.

We have money to spend, bring in 2 players without a single penny spent

Actually wouldn't mind a difficult group again this season as we're far better equipped to deal with it than we were last year.

Think Arsenal's luck has to run out at some stage so can see them in this season's group of death.

watch City get screwed over once again. Platini can go suck his mudda

wenger has bid 25m for Di maria....walcott in the middle??

Thats nonsense breh. Because goin by that logic up till 1996.

Forest > Barca, United

Forest = Inter & Juve

While Arsenal have never been true Giants of European Football, but since the 70's they have made atleast one European Final in the decade. And before Wenger took over Arsenal were Londons biggest and most successful club and the 3rd biggest.behind United & Liverpool

That's all I was saying.

Ultimately, I have little time for the We Want Our Arsenal Back crowd when a good number of them would hate the pre Wenger years.

The Arsenal of today are a much more stable and stronger club going forward than the club was in the 80s and 90s. All this crying and crisis talk does my nut in, Wenger leaves tomorrow and we are one of the best positioned clubs going forward. It's bad but it's not that bad. We just have a manager that can't make a decision and stick to it.

Why is Lambert on the English squad? English being sentimental again with their call-ups.

 

[yoyoyo1]

looks like the best CL ever this year

the only truly weak team I can see is Austria Wien, and maybe Kobenhavn

not even Plzen.

He's the second best striker England has, after Sturridge.

If they're going with a trend of rewarding young players with caps and building for the future, I'd call up Campbell instead of a 30+ year old.

I was until I got to the end


finish the line muthafukka




anyway on a serious note


this summer has been fukked since real re-negged on selling us higuain. I truly believe if we would've signed higuain early in the summer like we was supposed to it would have sent a statement out to the other clubs we meant business and the targets we were after would've also gathered we weren't total jokes and were looking to do something so the team could move forward. Sort of a transfer domino effect.

But alas, gazidis and wenger got found out...

oh how badly did they get found out
