Pepe and willian don’t offer anything really, lacazette puts himself in the right spots but they don’t have anyone to get him the ball. For all ozil faults I imagine they would be a different side had they used his creativity instead of ousting him due to not taking a pay cut. They have both been poor and that is why they have largely been dropped for Martinelli and Smith-Rowe. Willian sometimes threatens to do something and he has the ability to keep hold of possession under close pressure better than most players but the move just hasn't worked out. I'm surprised as I thought it looked like a good move at the time. The end was coming for Willian but I thought he would have at least another full year in him before one of the young lads took his spot. Pepe on the other hand is just a bad footballer. Plenty of talent but his understanding of the game is shocking. As for Ozil it is a shame about what has happened with him. A massively talented footballer who appears to not give enough of a toss about playing it. He might have earnt a fortune over the last 2 or 3 years but he has barely kicked a ball in public.

A man of ethics? He may well be, I don't know a lot about him but as a professional footballer you would think he would want to play football and not sit at home every weekend. The Ozil mascot thing was a stunt because it hit the headlines. How many other people have lost their jobs at Arsenal and he hasn't stepped in? Ozil did start playing for Arteta but after the initial performances his levels dropped again. Arsenal were playing well without him in the side and went on to win the FA Cup so hardly a fall guy. Given his problems with successive managers, it's fairly clear he is an issue behind the scenes. dunlopp9987 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoo 2.0 Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 One of the quickest red cards surely? Alex Jankewitz makes his first start for Southampton and puts his stoods into Scott McTominay inside 120 seconds. The lad is probably keen to make an impression, but that's a horrendous way to start your footballing career. United as expected running away with it against just 10 men, 36 minutes on the clock and it's 3-0 to the red half of Manchester. Edit: Finished 9-0 United, I wonder who they play next?

MikeO Posted February 2, 2021 Report Share Posted February 2, 2021 Good results today, Southampton destroyed but their season has really gone off the rails in recent weeks so not much of a threat to our ambitions now, Arsenal lose so we're still two points ahead of them but now with three games in hand, and to cap it off West Brom and Newcastle lose. Happy days. I think top three is now gone realistically, our fight (if we can get our shit together) is with Leicester, Spurs, Chelsea and Villa for 4th. Don't see West Ham sustaining their challenge. Matt and Zoo 2.0 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoo 2.0 Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 Would have been more had Gundogan scored from the penalty spot, could be looking at 5-1 which would be delightful. Alisson's first fuck up was hilarious, but well done to him for sealing the banter with a second fuck up minutes later. Phil Foden too, biggest talent England has seen for years. He can go as far as he wants, looks an unbelievable talent. Bailey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just texted my brother and my mate who's a city fan with the message "foden will be the best player in the world within a couple of years". England should be winning a major comp with the likes of Greenwood, Grealish, Foden, Godfrey, Reece James.... But foden looks to have a the best bits of Messi, Xavi and iniesta rolled into one player. Bailey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btay Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 Barnsley down 1-0 to chelsea with Abraham tapping - however he looked well offside. Seems officials are almost reliant on VAR now and in games it’s not available they are struggling more so. Also note - poor from the lineswoman as she was so far behind the play she could never make the call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete0 Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 Clear pen not given to Leicester but then Leicester score off the freekick anyway. (Freekick looked offside). 1 minute later Allison gifts them a goal. Runs out to clear the ball but ends up taking out the defender leaving Vardy completely free.

Zoo 2.0 Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 Alisson is going on the back of my Everton shirt at this rate, you love to see it . The wheels are absolutely falling off for them here, from 1-0 up to 3-1 down in about 10 minutes? Just had a look and it's -1°c in Leicester so understandable that the goalkeeper would struggle...
