Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [16th - 21st December 2016]

Thing is, From Arsenals owners its great is guaranteed money finishing in top 4 every year, From a players perspective you dont win medals for being consistently 2nd 3rd or 4th,

Arsenal players will move on e.g. Sanchez, Ozil eventually like others did. From a supporters point of view its not progress from Wenger if he only does the same thing constantly but then also fails at some point each season.

There in a horrible position fans and owners, if they did sack Wenger when fans called for it and wheels fell out they would moan about struggling in lower positions etc on other hand if they won a trophy instantly people would be i told you so.

After yesterdays showing, Ozil's got a bloody cheek asking for a quarter of a million a week. I've never seen such a lazy performance. They should sell him, go after Reus for a cheaper wage and then put the money saved towards paying Sanchez what he wants.

Reus would demand around the same to leave Dortmund id of thought...that and he likes an injury so im not sure thats the best option. James Rodriguez is available right?

 

[Stewy]

To play devil's advocate, why are you expecting your main creative player on the ball to be chasing shadows mindlessly for 90 minutes? Sanchez was doing it and what did it help apart from endlessly shifting him out of position? If the structure is wrong and the team is too deep so there's no pressure, Ozil mindlessly running about doesn't really change anything.

Glad we have Sturridge as an option and can if need be gives us more options of game goes badly

 

[sneakysnail]

No Matip is a pain though, still fairly hopeful though with the form origi has been in

 

[omnomnom]

Hopefully Origi can put a snide one in on Mori and end his season.

 

[Stewy]

Just had a look at the team of the week on the BBC and both Kolarov and Otamendi are in there. Considering how pathetic they were for the first 45 minutes and then not required for the second, that really confuses me.

 

[elmuzzy66.]

Mane sometimes frustrates the hell out off me.

 

[McBain]

Everton started very brightly.

 

[frankel1414]

Everton are up for this but you just know Liverpool will score with their first clear cut chance.

 

[omnomnom]

They are but then they haven't really created anything of note. They need to make this count because we will come into it at some point.

 

[badgeruk]

Games slowing down already now, giving us more time on the ball. Everton cant keep up the pace they started the game up for ever.

 

[badgeruk]

Unlucky, just behind him.

 

[Purdy]

Would love McCarthy to be injured, garbage player who just kicks people

 

[McBain]

Mori has to do better there, free header, best chance of the game.

 

[badgeruk]

How did that not get put in

 

[McBain]

Er, have Everton been on the ale at half time? They're all over the place.

Lukaku is useless at holding the ball up, if he's not scoring it's like playing with ten men.

His first touch is dreadful as well, half the time his second touch is a tackle.

Cue him spanking one in from 30 yards.

 

[badgeruk]

They look tired. Maybe the first 20-30 mins has taken it out of them.

 

[badgeruk]

Nice bit of play there, shame it didn't come off.
