I can see the argument for and against. But IMO that wasn't a hand ball by Sissoko, meanwhile McBurnie was making every effort to move his arm away from the ball.

The rule is confusing AF but one team seems to be unscathed through all this.

10th April 2020 - Wolves 2 - 0 Arsenal - Get this bomboclaat out of my club! (Troopz Rant)

Troopz football knowledge is horrible. It's concerning.

It is said that the pair had an angry confrontation while one of the visiting players lay injured, with Lacazette not shy to show his anger.

The incident follows on from a similar, albeit less heated exchange between Kieran Tierney and Emery earlier this month, and suggestions that players are struggling to understand the Spaniard.

Tbh, most football/sports fans knowledge is limited to a degree :ld:

Using Troopz tweet as an example. He knows Allegri, but doesn't know Allegri. He knows the resume and reputation of him being a good coach (which he is). But doesn't know that the day to day style of play is more functional than exciting and that Allegri been fortunate that his success with Milan and Juve has been because he had by far the best squad in the league. So he was doing what he was suppose to do.

Even tho, I will say his best coaching season was his 3rd season with Milan. When he lost 13-14 senior players the previous summer and got them 3rd and finished with the season with a 14 game unbeaten run. Also got the 2-0 win vs Barca as well that year.

Like clubs in Spain and Portugal are known for playing technical football. But if you look at the majority of Iberian coaches who have coached in the PL, they've been more functional/negative in approach of setting their teams up, week in week out.

You right, absolutely right. They see the name but Allegri's style won't fly with this Arsenal team. Time for Allegri was probably after Wenger, Emery has killed the brand so much, fans just looking to be excited at this point.

It's true. Maybe the quality of the flair players shields them from the criticism but Iberian managers are for the most part, boring. French are too. Germans are way more exciting and I think match what we want. Arteta is my choice, I rather be bold than settle for a Mourinho clone.

Germany or England, would be the only place I look at. Max Rose or Arteta.

I just want everyone at Arsenal fired, Raul and the Spanish fools gots to go.

That's it.

Raul got credit for buying players but his football knowledge and intelligence is lacking.

Maybe we are broke but the longer you keep Emery, the more toxic the situation becomes. At some point, this will start creeping upstairs, if it hasn't already. It's already got Xhaka and a few players are about to be in the firing line (Lacazette, Guendouzi, Sokratis, Luiz, Torreira).

The fact this board and Raul in particular let Emery come back after 2 weeks off and they believe he can right the ship, is demoralizing.
