you guys are buggin. Cazorla has no legs and doesnt defend well enough. Most of all he is not a goal threat. Let your weird Ramsey bias go. He is perfect for the position Coquelin has played THIS season.
You're right, it's completely mind-boggling. Maybe it's some stupid legacy contract issue? But it's hard to imagine they couldn't resolve that if they really wanted to help their customers! Luckily I have Cablevision and they've always covered the LiveExtra channels. But in the past few weeks, in their infinite wisdom they killed the HD version of LiveExtra1. So now all my LiveExtra's are in SD, which really does suck resolution-wise on a modern TV.
Anyone have real info on why Giroud is either in the doghouse or simply not fit? I'd say this whole saga has become a significant issue for Arsenal now.
[QUOTE="BIGHMW, post: 34587880, member: 180058" What's worse, Olivier Giroud has now developed himself a rather bad reputation and has long been known to draw red cards, so he is now a marked man and you can bet that the Hull City Kitties are gonna try and agitate him into pulling any kind of shenanigans like he did away to PSG last night and if he does then it may be "bye-bye" for Ollie and us being reduced to 10 men before you can say "Jack Wilshere".[/QUOTE] 2014-15 1 red card 2015-16 1 red card 2016-17 1 red card That's hardly a Robbie Savage history there. He does get stupid cards at timez, yes he has been red carded before, but acting like he is prone to reds is reeeeeeeaaaaaallllllly stretching it. Sent from my SM-G928T using Tapatalk
You forgot to mention that Olivier Giroud had one red card SO FAR this season, and here we are only in Matchday 5 in the EPL, and just completed UCL matchday 1. I seriously doubt that he won't pick up yet another one this season in any competition. But either way Hull will try anything they can to agitate him into picking up that next red card, like the stupid one he picked up back on Tuesday away to PSG.
And again what history is there that he would give in to those attempts or get another one? You sound like a crazy person. You went to the Trump school of making sh1t up. There is no evidence to support him being some wild red card machine, good lord you would think we were talking about Costa or Vinnie %#$@ing Jones ... Sent from my SM-G928T using Tapatalk
Nothing real just my conjecture, but the guy is just so disrespected. He's a decent forward, not great. The French are underwhelmed by him, we are underwhelmed by him. He's not Benzema, but he also beat out Lacazette. He's not Henry, but we've also struggled for various reasons to find someone better. I think it's good for Big Sexy to play with a chip on his shoulder.
You bet I am crazy, although if you actually met me in person, you would think otherwise, as do most of my fans, but back to the crazy theory, If you do read Question 6 on my Q&A page on BIGHMW.com http://www.bighmw.com/site/page/qa you would know that I do happen to have a combination of ADHD, Intermittent Explosive Disorder, and something called Pervasive Developmental Delay, as diagnosed by The Amen Clinic Northwest (in Tacoma, WA) back in 2005. Hey dude, I'm actually voting for Hillary (I wish we could go off the board and vote for Bernie Sanders and he would win in a landslide), because I DO NOT trust Donald Trump to not send civil rights back to the 1950s. As for me "making shit up", I happen to be somewhat unimformed/underinformed on certain things/issues (living in/letting your brain rot in an isolated small town like here in Port Townsend will do that to you) so I do have that tendency of jumping like that.
i may be remembering incorrectly but i feel like wenger tries other people out at the start of every year before injury (or other such things) forces his hand and he switches to giroud. at which point, he plays giroud ALL. THE. DAMN. TIME. until he is sufficiently tired to be shit. then we get back to the "giroud is shit" routine again
I hope you are right prince. I think we will see it at some point. I'm just worried about him being the outlet for the CBs. He can maintain possession, but moving the ball quickly and driving past a bank of defenders doesn't seem like his strong suit to me. But as skeptical as I am, I want to give home a shot. What's your ideal pairing behind ozil?
Olivia needs to start. He needs to play and claw his way to a goal. The only way his "bad behavior" will settle down is if he's scoring goals. His rather large ego requires this. So I say he starts and does everything in his power ( short of yellows or red) to score. He tends to get on rolls so when one goal comes, more follow. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt here. The guy frustrates me to no end also but I don't think sitting him will help the situation and like it or not we do need him.
paired with the right partner (like xhaka, not coquelin), ramsey does not need to be the outlet for the CB. his job is to run - forward to overload the offense and backward to help out the back 5.
why did we spend money on xhaka? y'know, i can almost tolerate that attacking unit if he would just rotate them: iwobi up front, sanchez on the left (because that's where he'll play ANYWAY), and walcott on the right.
He obviously wants Santi on the field and the only way to do that is to play Coq beside him. He may run Santi into the ground, at which point he will be forced to make the change.
Our line-up continues to puzzle. Giroud & Xhaka can't get a place in the XI. Not to mention Elneny. Arsene knows??? In any case, there's always this... COYG!!!!
That's what I was thinking. Which is great for those of us who like Santi. But man it does seem a little stupid from a rotation/preservation point of view.
