A couple of us mentioned his good performances during the match and I honestly don’t think he’s got many weaknesses as a player, but then again I’m a fan. its really up to him as what tier he belongs. He could go all the way and become a top defender, but that depends on his ambition and desire.

And what a strong performance that was! My motm vote was him or giroud (eden would be covered ;)), but First goal wins as it made arsenal even more vulnerable...

There is something funny about arsenal, the club, and I don’t think it’s intentional. 😂

Eden had a strong game, but we had many strong performers today. Esp second half. Giroud and Pedro were really good with Kante right below. think it’d still be giroud as motm for me for the importance of the first goal... it changes games. The other goals were in counters.

Petr is keeping it only 4

That was freaking awesome! Giroud and eden on a counter. hahah fucking hate arsenal

Wow Pedro is on fire today

That was a very good play and a cool finish by Pedro!!! Kova, nice turn, to hazard to Pedro. Too quick for arsenal stoic defense. AC has been really good.

Good cross by Emerson, but that finishing was something else giroud forgiven for the first half display...

They are both pretty poor players at the moment. Tammy can still improve, obviously but a top tier is no longer attainable imo. as for the previous discussion, Diego did create chances, but by pressing the opposition and less by linkup play. Pressing too create chances, and we don’t press very well because we have players in free roles (plural).

The reason hazard is not the top player some people here wish he were isn’t because of his attacking numbers, or number of goals, or even number of key passes. Ironically the real reason has been mentioned here over and over again by many ppl... drive or the lack thereof. in a tough single-elimination game you only have 90min to influence it, and drive goes a long way. That’s why salah is able to do that and hazard can’t. They both have the skill, but only one has the drive. And then it’s logical that his dedication and desire would not be same in training either. say not spending a lot of time at the gym, or improving oneself at practice. Like learning how to shoot from outside of the box for example.

More like the 75m+ paid for a goalie

Yes it’s great if we can keep him as he’s got good potential. from a contract POV it’s really bad we are in a ban. He knows it and so does his agent/parent. Gives them a lot more leverage. The injury is really the only thing g helping the club atm, as bad as it may sound.

Achilles lesion does not require trauma. It’s usually caused by overextension and overuse.

One of the worst injuries for a footballer. This is a six mo recovery. Prob lost next season too... this sucks...

There are reasons for that. It goes into the characteristics of all our wingers (will stop here not to derail the thread ) except Odoi. still, higuain is way past his good/decent prime, and is now just a bad football player.

I've written countless times about what I dislike in his game, very specific points too. Regarding your ridiculous name calling, which this forum seems to be ok with these days. You could have started, like, "no, you are wrong, he's great at CL." It would've been a lie, but at least responding to a semi-point I've actually made. Could’ve said he’s great in the pl which is definitely true, but not a cup. Once again, up to this point, only one of us is name-calling. I made a point that you did not retort, just criticized without any argument. I see SEVERAL deficiencies in his game, but whatever. That's why I'm not a fan, not because he's leaving. I'm not salty, sad, angry, because I've had the very same opinion for years, and Eden did very little to change that. the only thing I’m slightly disappointed about is that we did not sell him sooner for more money.

You would like to start debating the specific points that I’ve made over and over again, but then again you quote a semi joke instead. I mean hazard really goes missing in CL... Needless to say, most things your write don’t make much sense to me either. I mean in general, not just this thread. and yet I don’t go about calling you names do I?

Mods is calling people idiot allowed? Because then I’ve been missing out... 😂

Me too! That’s where he belongs... Europa league.

Was integral part of the starting XI up until the injury. So, I ask again, was the talk about wanting to leave, because of the lack of minutes, just BS? Because it sure looks that way.

Yeah come on... He hasn’t signed a new deal and wants out... what’s a club to do? Move on and move on already... I wasn’t as much of a fan as others around here, now I’m kinda really sick of him. Hate his demeanor, on and off the pitch. answering your second point, like many of his fans like to say, the club has been incapable of adding quality around hazard, which essentially proves, to me at least, that having such a player may be detrimental to the squad. as in, the squad would benefit more from 2 additional good players instead of hazard. The ban is unfortunate obviously, but hope it can be lifted at least for this window.

As someone who did criticize him before, he’s been impressive lately. good positioning and great reaction... consistency is mostly welcomed also.

Our best player right now. So happy for him and the club.

Honestly don’t think it has anything to do with his commitment. He’s just not that influential or at least not consistently enough. just fuck off already. Let the club plan and give the much sought-after free role to someone who wants to improve and become the player some here think hazard is.
