    Typical RM “fan”. You should’ve asked him when he thought Ronaldo is going to score his next hat trick for RM

    Must have been really awkward/embarrassing for him when you calmly explained that all the best teams play on Thursday

    Stillman from the top rope, fuck.

    Also how do we not have a captain? I mean I personally could care less, but just kind of one of those dumb things you do to get done. Not having one only casts further doubt and makes it appear as if the inmates are running the asylum. That said, maybe he wants out and doesn’t care?

    Finally, lol at “resting” Ozil.

    I think for all intents and purposes Xhaka is the captain this season, but they know he's not long for the club so they'd rather keep it informal and just get through the year.

    then they're probably hoping one of Hector or Holding establish themselves after getting healthy, or I could also see one of the strikers wear the armband for a few seasons if they should sign a long-term deal.

    Yeah that’s fine. Wenger named a captain that didn’t play for like 95% of the games over 4 years. Just don’t get leaving it hanging out there this long. Make a decision.

    The captain thing is one of the few things that I believe English managers get right and European managers get wrong. As superior as the European managers are, not one of them thinks captains are important. I agree with English managers that a strong captain is worth his weight in gold.

    Maybe I’m wrong and the captaincy really is a relic from a bygone era, but you have to have player(s) in the team that will hold their teammates accountable on the pitch (and in training). It cannot be just the manager that players feel accountable to, as managers change very quickly these days. You can trace the beginning of the decline under Arsene when he no longer had players like that in the squad.

    Don't think you need a great captain but you need responsible players. We have nothing of the sort.

    It's time to try a Torreira/Guendouzi midfield, Torreira has limitations but he'll fight way more than Xhaka does and won't make excuses.

    Liked that Sokratis put the blame on himself though a performance that poor is 100% on Emery.

    I'm just depressed about this team, please show something tomorrow.

    Wish we’d just setup a midfield that played to our strengths. Let Torierra sit in front of the defense, add Willock for some physicality, and Guen/Ceballos/Smith Rowe for creativity.

    Watching Auba go down injured in the first of 40 Europa League games is really gonna hurt my feelings.

    Playing Auba in Europa is a sackable offense.

    It’s a shame because I like him but there’s been an alarming decline in the team performances to the point where I don’t think it’s salvagable.

    I honestly have no opinion of him as a person even after a year and a half. all I know is I hate watching this team play.

    Completely agree with resting AMN but why not give your 3rd/4th choice CB a run at CB instead of RB.

    Probably trusts Mustafi less outside than chambers.

    Edit: I’m with you man, just a guess.

    not sure if that was intentional, but what a strike it would have been.

    Because Chambers is faster than Mustafi and actually has spent time playing RB in the past. Can't have one side open like a faucet, hoping to stem the flow with just a sponge.
