    Guendouzi was good against us in both legs, in my opinion.
    Gave us problems in the 1st leg even after they went down to 10 men.
    Worked hard, good on the ball, happy to put a foot in... played well, for me.

    Kolasinac has a head like a 50p, though. Useless twat. <ok>

    His best defensive performance this season by a mile. We don’t even need to talk about his crossing/ set pieces though, it’s almost pornographic. That was the Perisic of Inter out there tonight.

    Conte's banned from post-match interviews! <laugh> That's ridiculous. I'm sure he's gutted.

    Sideshow Bob weren’t too bad to be fair. He’s a bit of an all rounder, Jack of all trades type I think. Couldn’t cut it in the Prem though.

    Other two are woeful, but we have some of our own at the club, as do most others. Must be part of an unspoken rule in football in that your club must have a couple duffers at any given time.

    Guendouzi is an average footballer and an absolute twat of a man.
    His bragging of how much he earned part way through a game when his Arsenal team were 1 up was comic genius ... especially when it inspired the other team to come back and win 2-1 (Brighton I think?) Think that was why he was dumped by Arteta.

    Shame he has seen fit to do the same with Partey imho

    I didn't watch the first game at your place, so can't comment, but I wasn't overly impressed with what I saw of him tonight.
    He was OK, but there's still signs of him doing exactly what he did (or didn't do) at Arsenal at times...doesn't always sense danger, doesn't track back, a little cumbersome in possession. Maybe I'm being a bit harsh though, because I never really rated him the way other Arsenal fans did. I also couldn't understand how he was ranked as the 2nd most valuable U20 player in the world a couple of years back by the CIES Football Observatory: https://dailycannon.com/2019/05/cie...s-the-2nd-most-valuable-u20-player-in-europe/

    On what planet was he ever a €70m player? <laugh>

    I’m pretty sure that @PowerSpurs once said the CIES ranked Harry Winks as something like the 5th best central midfielder in either the Premier League or Europe (can’t quite remember which), Harry Winks hasn’t even been the 5th best CM at Spurs - and there’s been times we’ve not even had 5 CMs.

    I think those at the CIES need to find a new sport… or profession.

    He's banned from even speaking to the players for 15 minutes after the game.
    What a lot of Bollox! <doh>

    It was a series of things, but the incident with Maupay was the straw that broke the camel's back. He wasn't taking training seriously, apparently was rude to some Arsenal staff (including Arteta and Edu) when we went to Dubai for some warm weather training earlier that year, got into a fight with a team mate during training and acted inappropriately at club events. He then refused to apologise for his conduct and burned his bridges with the Arsenal hierarchy.

    Petulance is an understatement. Good riddance.

    I was going to say that you know you're getting them in the Europa League, right?
    Then I remembered that we've knocked them out of that, too! <laugh>
