B, it is analysis like this that confirms for me you are a great defensive coach just waiting a chance to shine.

Thanks. I felt at the time White may have been a tad fortunate to be out for the Chelsea game where the two central defenders were Holding and Mari. The latter had the misfortune to have Lukaku to mark, perhaps for understandable reasons when you look at Holding’s performance against, was it Liverpool last season, when Warwick Davis could have given the forwards more to think about with crosses in the air.

To be fair I don’t think either Mari and Holding are that bad. But my guess is White and Gabriel will become the recognised first choice pairing and from what I’ve read about White from his time at Brighton and saw of him at Brentford, I expect Gabriel to be marking Chris Wood today.

Interesting article on Mertesacker’s work at the youth academy.

Yes, frightening that all players are just one bad tackle away from a ruined career. Diaby was class, no doubt about that. Smith, where is he now?

Apparently Dan Smith set up a spray paining business in the north east. No idea how it’s doing.

That is sad. I’ve zero affinity with Derby but they always struck me as a club that deserves respect. Hopefully they can turns things around.

Wow shocked at the line up.

Back 4, no holding and the 3 man midfield i mentioned last week that includes Emile Smith Rowe and Ødegaard

Not a lot of muscle down the middle. It will be interesting to see how that midfield works.

Indeed. If they can gel quickly, it could be a very creative lineup. If not ...

Yeah race may not be determinative but who you play for bloody is. Henry should have had it as best player in the world at least once.

Quite dissapointing for Henry. Since 1956 to present no Arsenal player has received a Ballon d'Or.

Antony Taylor reffing could be good for us. He's a terrible ref imo but tends again imo to go for the big teams against the small teams. Looking for more decisions in our favour and hopefully he'll stop the cloggers.
C'mon you reds :22encouragement: :21encouragement: :9adore-boo:

When we are around their 18 yard box, they have about 7 or 8 players in and around the box to our 3 at most. We are going to need more players committed to the attack.

I liked the way Partey nudged Gabriel to stay focused for the free kick.

It’s worth waiting for. As is the build up to the free kick.
