*~*~* Arsenal v Sunderland match thread *~*~*

[Venkman]

Major bollock dropped by Johnson by bringing Hume on. Instead of going like for like and bringing Benji on he's changed the whole make up of the team.

I can kind of understand as we were getting murdered down the left. However, Hume is getting absolutely humiliated by Pepe.

 

[Jokei84]

Starting to look a bit tired now.

 

[EchoMan]

The game is finished man. We need to try and keep the in midfield

It wasn’t finished at half time when we changed formation.

 

[Honess10]

Legs have gone now this could be silly numbers

 

[Crispy32]

Rude awakening for Hume this.....never going to make it beyond L1

Same for 90% of our players

 

[peil]

Humes legs are more open than Riley Reids

Logon or register to see this image

 

[Veteran2]

Really?! He's just been done with ease again. He's never the answer.

Probably not at this level, but we are are not playing at this level every week.

 

[Irishblackcat]

Are we genuinely slagging Hume for struggling against a player that Arsenal paid £72m for?

Hes also only back after only playing a handful of games in nearly the last year .

Gooch is f***ing rank

He's not that good !

 

[The Beautiful Game]

Hume is a 23 year old lad coming back from some major injuries having played barely any football in about a year and he’s doing it at a standard he’s never played at before. He’s clearly struggling but how about f***ing supporting your team and the players instead of sniping at him.

Said the same thing first half for those slagging off Gooch for the same. Some people need some context here

 

[fredthefan]

Burge having a decent game.

 

[Ashley In!!]

Obrien would have been a better option than Hume in hindsight

Steady on.

 

[Fetch Fletch]

I really hope you're joking.

Probably meant Scottish prem

 

[gipetto]

They’ve just been singing but might be down to microphone placement rather than anything else ?

Possibly. I thought we'd be making the most of it, we've looked subdued most game.

 

[McGregor]

Probably not at this level, but we are are not playing at this level every week.

Fair point. Hope he can prove me wrong personally.

 

[bat]

it’s not just skill they have …their players are so such quicker off the mark. Get a special sprint coach in to spark them up.

 

[Hugh Gains]

Gooch needs to be released in January

He’s one of the best players in league 1 according to most on here.

I’m not even judging him on to tonight but we should be looking at moving on from him, it’s an obvious upgrade.

 

[Mowgli]

It wasn’t finished at half time when we changed formation.

Who goes up front? Obrien? I'd rather play with 10 men

 

[excalibur]

Youve made that up tbh he makes loads of mistakes.

May make some who doesn’t at that level. Especially with the ease at which teams get at our defence from time to time. Sat behind the goal watching him I think he stands out for us personally.
