Rags/Arsenal draw anyone?

Hopefully

I don't need to be better than you to share my point of view.

Nobody is saying you have to be better than anyone else.
I'm saying your posts are ridiculous.
What part of your posts are ridiculous don't you get?

Edit.
Just read of few of your posts. Slagging Eddie off seems to be your theme in your posts.
Not a peep out of you on Wednesday when erling scored his 2nd hat trick in 4 days.
Or had that slipped your mind!

Kind of Ironic,,,,,,The best thing that could have happened today is we go in at half time 0-2 down so Pep has to change our shape and go back to what we know best and go on to win.

For Pep not losing = no changes

A consideration of the bench would suggest that, unless things were going swimmingly, we only really had two outfield options (Mahrez and Alvarez) and that the others would only be pressed into service if we were desperate.

Poor overall, foden’s form has dropped off a cliff this season, wide out left doesn’t suit him, two points dropped big time, still rather arsenal increased their lead at the top tomorrow tho :)

Anyone know why Alvarez got dropped today after his performance the other day.

Managing his minute, seems people doesn't friggin care that he didn't have extended break/holiday this year like other.

He straight up from his loan to our training camp pre season without friggin holiday, can you imagine that.

That was shocking. How long did some players want on the ball!? How the fuck foden stayed on that pitch is beyond me. There was no intent on going forwards from alot of the players tonight. Was screaming for alvarez, yet ake came on and stones went to right back...

Fully agree with the amount of time players wanted on the ball and it was generally followed by a poor pass that immediately put a team mate under pressure. There was no intensity in our play, it was very lazy and sloppy. The substitutions were strange to say the least.

No chance the giddy premier league will want a rag win ..

Mahrez is part of the core team. So you saying I don't think Mahrez should never get on the pitch is fine to say, but ultimately crazy if you actually expect Pep to carry it out.

You should expect him to get subbed on and play games. Pep is expecting Mahrez to do something, and he played poorly.

Bernie in the middle for Gundogan is fine as well, but don't think it changes much.

We needed Alvarez on.

I don’t disagree. The issue was him getting a new contract. I don’t see how a guy who played less than half the PL games last season gets a new £200k+ pw deal. Like I said, on here there was much celebration. I didn’t understand it and I still don’t. He has to get minutes because we are paying him so fucking much.

Mahrez wasn’t the reason why we dropped points today but him being brought on certainly didn’t help.

Thought cross for the goal aside KDB was poor always looking for hero passes and shots that weren’t on.

Foden and Walker both need a rest/dropping

The problem with dropping walker is it means cancelo plays on the right so they just score goals by either attacking down the right or by playing crosses to where he should be marking someone (and definitely isn't).

They’ll be nowhere near come what may

Not so sure. Liverpool seem to be some way off their best. But the North London duo have, so far, stepped up a notch. Next saturday will give us an indicator of how Spurs are truly progressing.
