Would still take him, but play Moses in the big games. For me Ox would be a good option at RWB against the 'lesser' teams.

I think he would be poor. He can't defend and he's average going forward. Conte would improve him, but if you don't have it then you don't have it, and i don't think Chamberlain has it. The difference with Moses being converted into a wing back and Chamberlain is that Moses always had it in him. He's got the engine, the work rate and he's ok defensively. I have not seen any of this in Chamberlain over the years.

When have any Arsenal player post-2012 been any good at defending?

he is a good player but he was awful today and miss  a lot of easy pass 

I agree but it's tough for him to find any player with a good ball over the top arguably his specialty when Sanchez is short and on the other side of the field and the striker being Welbeck. In midfield, he has Ramsey and Xhaka. Any opponent would just cover his passing lane and he'd be unable to do anything with the ball as their movements bar Sanchez is poor. He's the only one in Arsenal that can create a chance for others bar Sanchez, any good tactician can exploit that. 

Not often I feel sympathy for fans of rival clubs but that display from Arsenal today was shameful. Ordinary fans paying a high proportion of their disposable income to support their team and getting treated to a performance like that. Disgraceful. 

Much lesser teams than Arsenal put up more of a fight than that. To be honest I hope we don't sign any of them. They're all sh*t.

It's funny when Tottenham fans say "i'm fed up with this bullsh*t Wembley hoodoo the media keep bringing up" and "i want the media to stop talking about Kane not scoring in August".......it's like they are blaming the media for these things. I can't stand parts of the media, but they can't be blamed for Tottenham not winning at Wembley and Kane not scoring in August. Tottenham fans just can't accept that Wembley is becoming a big problem for them and that Kane is a slow starter.

Exactly, we might as well play Pedro at WB, it's the same sacrifice defensively but Pedro is better attacking. If we are in for Ox I think he will end up as a forward in out system.

They really have no right to complain about the media, they always get good press. Today will be chalked up to experience, adapting, all that nonsense, if we'd have drawn against Everton we'd have been (rightly) slated to further the 'crisis club' narrative.

They're media darlings. If we came second, it'd be all Chelsea weren't good enough or crisis but when they got 2nd, it was all good for them for putting up a fight. 

He asked that Ty bloke if there were any positives, and his literal word for word quote was "at least it wasn't more than 4".

Jesus Christ.. when the positives are only conceding 4, he has to be on a wind-up now surely.

Every time this happens, remember that they call us chavs, racists, scum, rent boys, etc. That will stop you feeling sorry for them.

:laugh2::laugh2:

just watched troopz, gooner claude & redhat ty - man that was depressing, but you know what? The gooners got played. By winning the FA Cup, you just knew that le voyeur would remain & we knew that this ship was already taking in water. Man I hope CFC runs their dicks in the ground in their upcoming visit to The Bridge. Just make sure we don't have pawson as the ref

Arsenal just play the same way every game, not thinking about what their opponents do.

They left so much space in behind and between their midfield and defence that it was child's play for Liverpool to look amazing. Every time Liverpool won the ball back they had ten yards of space before anyone made an attempt to close them down.

Headless chicken football but looking like worldbeaters doing it.

They played a high line with 3 at the back alongside having a 2 in midfield. And one of those midfielder is playing as a marauding midfielder who goes way too far up front and the other midfielder was a slow DLP with a good left foot and almost zero brain. 

That's about as poor as you can prepare for a team like Liverpool who are about pace and pressing.

Even worse was the fact that despite Liverpool being poor on corners, Arsenal played it short. Baffles the mind really how Arsene is paid 10m per year for this.

Mourinho can't help himself, it's like he looks for reasons to moan. Everything is running smoothly for United. They are playing well, the fans are happy, the manager has the players he wanted, they are top of the table after 3 games with 3 wins and 3 clean sheets.......and then he says something like this. It's needless really.
