Unpopular Opinion (Arsenal Edition)

Postby KG3 » Tue Nov 10, 2020 12:25 pm

Though it would be interesting to share/discuss any Arsenal related unpopular opinions, I guess I’ll start us off...

Lucas Perez was better than Pepe for Arsenal

Perry Groves was more productive for us than Pepe.

Aubameyang was not worth a 350k (inc bonuses) a week contract.

Fabianski is better than Leno

Ramsey is better than Partey

Giroud is better than Lacazette

Senderos is better than Squillaci

Grimandi is better than Djourou

^ All these things are true and hold up ^

Auba easing of the gas pedal since his contract extension.
Pepe turning out to be a lazy bum. Doesn't track back, or look for balls downfield, doesn't stick to the full backs and challenge them.
Ceballos is not PL quality - slow as a mule and indecisive.
Willian turning out to be a dud, chasing shadows.

RVP was more technically gifted than any player in our history besides Bergkamp.

I think only Mikel Arteta agrees with you on that :lol:

My bad didn’t know we had that one although this one is strictly Arsenal related

Fabianski was very good towards the end of his Arsenal career and reliable for Swansea/West Ham only reason he’s not rated higher is because is doesn’t play for a bigger club/nation he’d be England’s best goalkeeper if he was born here.

Ramsey and Partey are two different players like the whole Gerrard/Lampard/Scholes debates same but different.

The France manager certainly agrees with you on that one and now I’m starting to see why myself.

Senderos had a good run in the team leading up to the Champions league final, was a decent player in there somewhere just never reached the full potential and Drogba bullied him all the time.

Grimandi was before I started watching football but as for Djourou he had all the ingredients to become a top CB tall, good pace, strong etc and during 10/11 season he’s was our best defender and carried the defence playing alongside Kos in his first season. After that injury against United he was never the same though.

No one compares to Cazorla when it comes to this, Corners and FK’s with both feet, dribbling and close control he had it all.

Cazorla was never as good as he was made out to be. We were shit with him. Shit without him.

Cazorla is a market for how our goalposts moved in what we called great

The Emirates isn't that great of a modern stadium, and Arsenal should plan for a new stadium to move into sometime in the next 20 years.

Or at least lower the field to bring the seats closer, improve capacity, and build that extra station to make it possible.

Arteta is overrated, overhyped and walked into the Arsenal job because he’s pally with some people at the club.

Why is Senderos being better than Squillaci an unpopular opinion? Its the truth, Senderos wasnt even shit.
