Bellerin is the most overrated 1st choice right back we’ve had, Eboue was better when he was first choice.

Eboue was a cult hero.


Bellerin is just shit.

Been saying it for years.

He'll never be a defender as long as he has a hole in his arse.

Forget about the time he lost his way with the Torreria at 10 tactics second season meltdown, I’m talking about his first season, those games like the wins against Everton, Valencia, Spurs, Fulham etc that was some good stuff

Valencia was the best game we've had in years, outside of that don't remember anything good under Emery.

We're at 27 PL goals in 23 games.

Yeah, Emery played better football. Certainly more Arsenal-like than this budget Guardiola bullshit.

Off the top of my head, we were absolutely unreal against Leicester and pretty great against Spurs as well.

Prime Arsenal Song/Coquelin > Partey for Arsenal so far

It’s not even a case of who’s better than who it’s the simple fact that Song had Wilshere/Fabregas next to him, Coquelin had Cazorla/Ozil next time so they could focus on doing what they do best and break up play.

The rest of the players are also a factor but midfield, managers and tactics are the main differences. You put Partey in a fluid attacking team with a better DLP next to him you’d see a monster of a player.

Ljungberg would have been a better fit for us than Arteta, he knows the youth better and would have given them a proper chance.

Not saying he would have been good enough but at least Freddie had some sort of experience at managing at youth level, no different to what Pep/Zidane had before getting the big job.

Artetas only experience before us was putting out cones for pep

I think we'd have been up the same shit creek with Ljungberg.
