Don't you know, we don't do "good" losses under Conte? All but one defeat since 16/17 have been nothing short of embarrassing. The 3-5-2 and 3-4-3 are basically double-edge stuff at the moment. Play the 3-5-2 and we can dominate the midfield as well as ensure that Fabregas and Hazard can do maximum damage but risk being too narrow, predictable and even defensive. Play the 3-4-3 and we might get more width and have more threat going forward but risk getting overrun in midfield, especially if we intend to play Fabregas in there. Plus, with Bakayoko looking a mess right now, playing him in any system feels like a risk. Can't believe we're at a point where we need Drinkwater (DANNY FREAKING DRINKWATER!) to be fit.

Every time when we lose, I see Conte get all the blame. Is that always the case though? Don't see the players - as a collective unit - get blamed as much as Conte here some times.

Ever since we won the Double back in 2010, we have seen our title challenge gone out of the window before January in a number of seasons, which is quite embarrassing. 2010/11, 2011/12, 2012/13, 2015/16 and now 2017/18. That's FIVE seasons out of EIGHT.

He's been here for months and has anyone actually told him that referees don't give cheap fouls? He keeps going down so easily every single game, expecting the referee to give a foul. The Premier League is NOT La Liga OR Champions League FFS!

So, we gave Crystal Palace their first points/win of the season back in October and now, David Moyes his first win as West Ham manager. Two of the worst sides this season. Well done, lads. Well done.

Said the same.

Don't think the club have done anything like this on a player before? Club going big on Christensen.

Questionable? We did well in the Champions League for a number of years 7-8 years ago and I don't think there was recognition for Terry, Lampard, Drogba etc.

1 Belgian down. 2 more to go.

Yes but the award is supposed to be about the past year's performance, no? Kante was great for the last 12 months and so was Hazard. Considering his contribution - goals and assists - and the fact that he won the Premier League, does he really deserve to be in 19th, below the likes of Griezmann, Dybala, De Bruyne?

Not to devalue his contribution but if Hazard was ranked in 19th because he didn't play in Europe last season, then what's the reason for Kante to be in 8th?

That would just make our defence slow and immobile. Will be even worse than Cahill-Christensen-Azpi.

What's the point of that when (1) Arsenal haven't competed for the major trophies for years now and (2) Wenger doesn't even make his players better?

It baffles me that players with talent are interested in joining Arsenal. Don't they have any ambition?
