Lamela get's lost sometimes.Other times he's a matchwinner. Waiting for him to get match fit again....then watch it Liverpool.You and United will probably offer 70 mil for him.....
With Lamela fit last season you could very well have won the league, very good player and a game changer.
 
Doubt any of us would know without having a look, such is the unimportance of such "achievements" for most clubs<laugh>

Just a wild guess here but I'd wager lamela has less goals in 3 years than salah has in his 1st?<doh>

How many did Salah score in his first?
 
I think you're missing the point. Results have been poor against the leading sides because there are weaknesses which they consistently exploit.
Those weaknesses are still present against the lesser teams, albeit they take advantage less often.
These weaknesses continue to be overlooked by Wenger and as a result, you're no longer title contenders and more recently, are even struggling to compete for top 4.
It's all very well pundits saying Arsenal games against the likes of Liverpool and Chelsea make great viewing, but that's because Arsenal make so many mistakes leading to goals that any brilliance at the other end is always undermined.
Wouldn't you sooner have the "1-0 to the Arsenal" reputation back?

As I've already said - I don't disagree with what you've written here.

However, the initial post I quoted from you was benchmarking our record against the current top 4 this season, implying that our inability to defend and see games out against them is why we wouldn't break into it the coveted top 4 spots for the forseeable future. My rebuttal to that was although our record against them should be better, it's not necessarily those games that determine whether we challenge for a better position domestically. In fact, I'd go as far as saying you don't even need to have a great record against the top 4 to win the title. So long as you can beat the other teams that you're supposed to.
 
So, Antonio Conte is ready to fight Jose Mourinho and in return, Mourinho is berating Conte by referring to his suspension relating to a ban for match fixing at a previous club.

It's getting as embarrassing as press conference time for boxing and WWE. Time on the naughty step needed for both. You're not 5 years old any more boys and it's not detracting from the fact that Pep's Citeh are beating you both hollow.
 
Rumours going round that Coutinho to Barca is a done deal. £142m
 
That Fulham display was disturbing.Is that lower division that bad? Fulham were a day behind Southampton in everything...and they were at home and it was an FA cup tie. Wolves must have a very good team to be walking away with the same league....or not?
 
Coutinho close to a 142 mil transfer to Barcelona? Ridiculous! Some one in FIFA needs to do something to cap these transfer fees before football goes bankrupt.
How much will it cost the fan to get in to watch Barcelona for goodness sake?

Barcelona's cheapest season ticket is £87.78 and most expensive £737.24. Cheaper than most Premier League teams.
I think Coutinho's base fee is supposed to be £100m, which is a little more than a van Dijk.
