Why are people saying she is getting demoted for doing her job? If that was the case Jon Fearn would have also got demoted. She's been demoted because of her stupid Facebook post. She made it about herself instead of the "medical team".

If this is to increase competition for Ivanovic (via Azpi) then I'm happy. But if he's Azpi's competition then he's not going to get any playing time.

I want Stones and Zouma to become starters. Let em make mistakes. Fuck it. Develop them cause we need better 1 on 1 centre backs for the future. And I want that future to be as early as next season.

Even if we are being a few points to Arsenal, we could reel em in and they'd choke. But I don't want to give a lead to City. We must beat them. City can become a juggernaught if they start feeling like winners, gain confidence and momentum.

Starting for Monaco against Nice. Match starting now!

Several mistakes, but huge heart and effort by everyone. Played the first game like it was UCL final. Bounce back against City!

Can't fault the effort. Players are giving 150%.

Jose not fucking around. Doesn't want the draw. Win or lose!

Zouma playing as a #10 now haha

Fuck Stones and Baba, get a RB and use Ivan as your CB depth. Seriously, he's been shocking offensively and defensively.

He started last season on fire too. Let's hope it stays this way all season. Dude is a fucking monster.

Swansea is pretty dangerous with Ayew and Montero on the wings. Both very decent.

Just got owned by Ighalo for the goal.

Buy both Stones and Coleman.

Rojo is also left-footed.

Smalling is coming on big time now. Was very good in the 2nd half of last season and been very very good today as well. Top 5 CB in the league.

Dembele could be so good. Has great strength, dribbling and ball control. But unfortunately, unable to influence matches at all.

Is this dude good enough to come in and be a starter?

If not Pedro, someone else needs to be a winger for us. City and United create a lot of chances and goals just by running to the byline and blindly cutting a ball back.

No one needs to worry about playing first XI or not. Jose will know his team against Swansea and will plan accordingly. If someone that he wants to start against Swansea isn't 100% match fit, he'll give them time and those don't need the fitness may not play or only feature for 15-20 mins.

He was never a Dani Alves going forward, but he was perfectly capable going forward when he played on the right side. Could link up fine and would get involved in the build up oftentimes. On the left side, I agree, he's non existent going forward. Definitely hurts us.

Should have scored. Bums like Ramires can miss but he should have taken that chance. First mistake was to take one extra touch, second was to loose all composure and just slap a shot into orbit. He's a way better finisher than that.

Gotta say though, these are the kind of matches Arsenal never used to win. Not only today but really this pragmatic change started last season and makes them huge contenders for the title.

I need to start putting people on ignore (send me your ignore list please so I can copy it). I usually just leave the forum, becomes unbearable reading the match threads.

Arsenal didn't really look that good either. But Arsene did to Jose what Jose usually does. Scored a goal and then sat back and they defended very well. We had the chances though, should have really scored at least 1. Also, WOW Courtois! Ivanovic was the worst player on the pitch imo.
