hahahahahahahahahhahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaa....

well, thats why i dint take into account the game he played as RW. the games they have started as CMs is 6-2 in a 8 match sample. should tell u a lot in that too. i was not defending rambo. anyone who puts in a tackle like he did against villa, deserves to be banned. again, its all on your first statement and the follow ups. jose has chosen rambo over luiz.

rambo started 6 matches in the pivot (not counting the city match), 1 game as a RW. DL started 2 matches in the pivot, 2 as a CB. in a total sample set of 8 matches, not taking into account the 3 matches where DL was not in the matchday squad (one of those 3 matches were spurs at 8th march, 2 days after DL played for brazil, same as rambo hence saying he was injured is a maybe for me). (another of those matches are villa on 15th march, 2 days before he was on the bench against gala but lets give him the benefit of doubt there),

oh dear god, these are all the games that rambo was eligible. arsenal,palace, stoke, pool, norwich, cardiff - were the games he was banned for. lets even ONLY take the games where both of them were in the matchday squad, still united - DL and rambo whu - rambo starting, DL on the bench city - DL and rambo both starting newcastle - DL started as a CB. matic, lamps-matic pivot wba - rambo starts, luiz as CB fulham - rambo starts, DL as a 86th minute sub rambo misses 3 matches in ban, comes back swansea - rambo starts, DL on the bench sunderland- rambo starts, DL on the bench who do you see starting more?

:carlo2: after matic came in, these are the PL matches we have played united - DL and rambo whu - rambo starting, DL on the bench city - DL and rambo both starting newcastle - DL started as a CB. matic, lamps-matic pivot wba - rambo starts, luiz as CB everton - rambo starts, DL not in the squad fulham - rambo starts, DL as a 86th minute sub spurs - rambo starts,DL not in the squad villa - rambo starts,DL not in the squad (injury) rambo misses 3 matches in ban, comes back swansea - rambo starts, DL on the bench sunderland- rambo starts, DL on the bench so dude, whenever, rambo and DL are eligible, it has been rambo who has started.

which big games? against city, he was deployed as a defensive winger cos there is no one better than him in that role. (matic was not eligible, still rambo played in the same role in CL. which means it was tactical). the other big match we played after that was spurs which rambo started, arsenal and pool for which he was not eligible. also, the argument was not just about big games. Anybody who choses ramires over DL in the cm position you lose it for me.and jose has.

read the whole thing. not just the parts u want.

and he answered himself when he wrote that. mistakes are bound to happen. there are mistakes like DL own goal against PSG and JT own goal against palace, which are more unlucky than mistakes. and then there are mistakes like the cardiff howler and letting a striker get ahead of him (anichebe) or being out of position while trying to nick the ball (everton). dont see how that is so difficult to understand.

precisely my point. rambo playing as a defensive winger dint have much to do with matic playing against city. rambo's versatility played a role their. dude, i dont know what u r trying to even argue here. do u really think that rambo has not played enough for us. he has played 3793 minutes despite being suspended for [7 PL games (5 yellow cards, 2 suspensions of 3 games each) plus 2 match ban for CL] making it a total of 9 games. we played a total of 57 games, which meant rambo was eligible for 48 of them (4320 minutes) which means he has played about 88% of the time he has been available. i seriously dont know what u r talking about.

why is it not? our manager trusts a 33 year old to play almost every match in the season rather than resting him and playing DL as a CB in few of the matches. there is a reason behind it. he does not trust DL and DL dint help himself in those regards. how is making individial errors not a part of it? GC-JT is a better partnership cos they not only suit our low block better than DL but cos they are also less error prone. we are not a team that can afford to give a goal cos of a moment of madness cos we dont score that many. also kieran's exact words were He didn't get a chance when we changed to a more defensive minded approach this season he did get a chance and he screwed it.

we needed someone who could do a defensive job on the wing. who better than rambo for it. that was the reason for it and even against ATM, even though mikel played that match, rambo started on the wing.

extended run in? when we were fighting for the title and a minor slip up could be costly plus DL making a mistake in the only oppurtunity he got, added to the fact that GC+JT were immense through out the season. well seems very unfair to DL that he dint get an extended run in...

he has chosen rambo over everyone whenever rambo has been available, that is how i would remember rambo's season. i dont remember rambo is starting on the bench or dropped from the squad. which match are you talking about?

someone starts a myth and then everyone follows. whats worse is that people had started thulping iva over his crosses and in that somehow, azpi was made to be the best crosser the world has ever seen. but the cardiff match showed us what the reality is. when there is no target man to cross to, all your crosses will end up being useless.

so jose has lost it for you? ok!!!

one mistake? so the cardiff howler and the newcastle game was nothing!!!! the wba game was probably (not sure about this) DL's only PL game as a CB for us in this calender year. so its one match, one mistake. and kudos for comparing it to JT's. that evens them out completely. 30 odd matches 1 mistake, and 1 match 1 mistake. perfect.

actually he did get a chance. against wba and he was at fault for anichiebe's goal.

people are actually complaining about us selling our 3rd/4th choice CB and our 3rd/4th choice CM for 32mil? we dont need to buy defenders, we have kalas and zouma as his replacements (remember they will simply be 3rd choice CBs and we have IVA to cover for it too). as for CM, we needed to buy a new CM. DL would have been redundant after that purchase. jose does not like tinkering with his backline plus after a new CM, DL would have been 4th choice (behind matic, rambo, new CM). we are selling a potential bench warmer for the next season for a mighty 32mil. how is that not a good deal.

great. poor performances and now this!!!

an arsenal fan tottenham have now finished above every other team in the epl in the last 4 years...except arsenal London is red!!! :lol:

Captain.Leader.Legend.

hope not. ATM have to play 2 finals in the coming 10 days. their players should be totally concentrating on that. and we should respect that and no do what munich did to bvb last season with the gotze transfer.

carvajal has been in great form. probably the best RM defender in recent months. i would drop albiol, itturaspe, mata, llorente, torres, x,x.

out of these 30, i think albiol, torres, llorente, itturaspe will definitely not go to the WC. but have no idea who the other 3 might be.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqRIi9RZUpg#t=20 dint get one for the speech where he says he was not happy with 3rd. games like palace and sunderland would even be troubling the players. that he wants us to be the favourites from the first minute etc etc.
