Yes him scoring just now helps but I think people always slag this signing and I don't get why. He didn't concede a goal in his 3 games before he got injured.


Even if he’s good enough it won’t work, two predominantly left footed centre backs never work, you can get away with it in a 3 but not a 4


Teams play with two right footers all the time, why wouldn't two left footers work?

Not sure why this is an unpopular opinion. This year will be our 17th consecutive season without the title. so we're already more than halfway there. Our chances of winning the league in the next 13 years look very unlikely considering how the club is and has been run for years.

Didn’t look likely in 75/76 when we finished 17th


It didn't, and we didn't win the league for 13 years after that.

It didn’t look likely in 94/95 either
Worst home season I have ever seen and 38 points behind Blackburn.
Double winners 3 years later


Well, we had won the league four years earlier in 1991. Glory days weren't just a distant memory like they are today.

Yes but we now had an ageing defence( nobody knew that wenger would come in and rejuvenate them) journeymen like mcgoldrick and Carter. Imponderable youths like Selley, flats and Hughes and smith and Wright both the wrong side of 30. The statement of intent in the signings of Bergkamp and platt looked a long way off
Particularly during those 4 months without a home league win

Would it be because lefties don't have as much experience playing RCB compared to righties playing LCB since there are fewer lefties than righties?

That said, it obviously could work, it'd just be more rare because of the dominant foot distribution factor.

I remember reading something about an accomplished pairing both being lefties before, could have been at Juventus or one of the Milan teams, not sure and could be from years ago.
