Lloris never really convinces, IMO.
Premier League Week 29 5/6 March
- Thread starter Truedevil
- Start date
Sadly an Arse win is the worst outcome for us so hoping for a few Spurs goals in the second half.
Sakes Spuds. Arsenal were there for the taking and now their tails are up after the goal.
exactly. this is the one result that does us no good.
They have got a heck of a run in, but it would still call for a mental run of wins from us.
Worst result is Spurs win obviously.
Spurs will win it. Arsenal are going to do an Arsenal. Relax
He is also immense at pressing and closing down opposition defenders. If he plays 90 minutes you can virtually guarantee at least 3 good chances from that closing down.
Would you prefer him to Martial?
Arsenal winning here would open up incredible chance for them. If they win tonight they would go 6 clear with home game against Newcastle coming up next.
Have you seen Spurs fixture list? An under pressure Spurs would be perfect for us imo.
Would you rather face an in form Spurs in a few weeks or a team suffering from a run of bad form?
Nah, if Spurs won and we beat WBA tomorrow we would go 1 points behind Arsenal.
He'll make flashy saves but he always looks like he has a mistake in him. Wouldn't want him here.
But if they lose we'd be just four points behind second place.
For me personally...1. draw, 2. arsenal, 3. tottenham
In many ways Welbeck is the archetypal Van Gaal forward. Good technical and physical qualities. Dynamic anywhere on the front line. I know it's been said to death but if he brushed up his finishing he'd be a top forward. But the fact that part of his game has been lacking for the best part of 5 years suggest he's got a bigger problem to solve than just working on it in training.
Arsenal have looked so dangerous. If a goal was going to come, it was going to come from a counter.
Welbeck has been a constant menace. Could have been a bit more clinical, but his constant movement and running off the ball is causing Spurs a lot of problems.

So why didn't he fight to keep him? I'm not arguing, but LvG seemed to just let him walk.
Remarkable statistic given the rankness of our performances this season.
Same as he was for us then really, all the physical attributes in the world, but just not quite good enough to be a leading team's main striker.
To be fair, I reckon Klopp would love Welbz.
He's just come back from injury and in about 90 minutes scored against the league leaders and us in a massive game. He also played a big part in this goal.
We made a mistake selling him. Oh well, good luck to the lad.

I can understand a bit of regret at Hernandez, as he's scoring stacks of goals, in a season we score hardly any. Although I'm comfortable with that as we wouldn't have given him nearly as many opportunities.
But I don't get the continual Welbeck regret. He's gone to a better team, and hardly ripped it up, and I mean last season, as obviously he's been out for most of this season.
If he scored 20 in a season (won't happen), I'd fear for the safety of some people on here
Giroud scores a good amount of goals, and is a decent finisher, despite not scoring for quite a while, but if he started today, he wouldnt have made nowhere the impact Welbeck has.
Obviously, a striker needs to score goals, but if he makes the team on a whole look more dangerous, then I dont see the problem. We scored the most amount of goals in the league with Welbz up top, with him scoring only 10 goals.
Mcmanaman sounds link he's phoning in.
Come on, Spurs - I don't think I can take another Arsenal Away Boyz vid.
Fergie could best out of him. He'd arrange the team around the strength and weaknesses of the individuals. Welbeck is world class in some areas but ordinary in others. If you can draw the best out of him, he's a huge asset to the side. Van Gaal's philosophy is too constrained to fit in anybody who doesn't fit a particular mould. It's no surprise that a manager like Wenger has played him in EVERY SINGLE match he's been fit for since he was signed.
I can only guess but we were stacked with a lot of attacking options when he arrived and Welbeck was the least proven. Not having CL football meant less game time for everyone.
There have been whispers that the club wanted him to go on loan but he was adamant to leave in the end.
I'd rather chose to be 1 point off fourth than be 3 points off fourth and 4 points off second but i understand you.
No he hasn't.
Van Gaal forced him out, just like he did with Hernandez.
This post explains it. I've heard something similar.

Spurs have no ideas at all.
I loved Danny Welbeck and was gutted when we sold him. I think his all round game is fantastic and we could still really do with him.
His finishing isn't consistent enough to be the main striker at a club that wants to win Titles though.
Anyway, Spurs crossing today has been woeful. It's like watching Bebe swinging them in all over again.

Long ball to Kane is their only real outlet
Yes he has. Not always from the start, but he does always get minutes on the pitch. I made a post a little while ago where I detailed his game time alongside his injuries.
Eriksen has been awful.
I stand corrected then. But there was certainly a period where Wenger started Giroud over him very regularly. Giroud's in dire form atm, though.
His finishing is shit, he has dodgy technique and his passing and crossing is average at best. How the feck is his all round game fantastic?
For us it sucks, but not for Leicester. Arsenal will find a way to choke like they always do.
