I'm going to mourn the day Pirlo hangs up his boots. Best midfielder of the 00s for me.
Only a matter of time until a resurrected Luca Toni picks up the golden boot in Serie A, by the way. What a season he's having. I hope he gets called up for the World Cup. He's easily good enough to start for Italy this summer.
Can we have a rightback that does such runs too please
Sagna made that run yesterday, but Arteta's pass had slightly too much on it.
The defending in that video is piss poor.
Gervinho, hero of the Italian cup!
What a goal again by Gervinho.
He is really adding goals to his game like what Totti wants. Almost on par with Cristiano Ronaldo already?
EDIT: Just checked. 5 goals 5 assists in 15 apps. Not bad
His finishing was ice cool yesterday. Goal of the match was Strootman though. Missile in the top corner from 25-30 yards in pouring rain. He's probably been their most important player with Benatia. Huge upgrade on Bradley, who was pretty decent last year.

What? 😐
Thats what Totti said actually...
Really think we missed a trick by letting him go, especially since we signed Özil the same summer. It's a shame our fans hounded him from the stadium.
Gervinho is too weak mentally to win things at PL/CL level. Good move for him, good move for us.
he'd have been a nice-to-have with Theo injured, but he's not good enough for Arsenal. for Roma, yes. they're a second rate club.
Gervinho's transformation in the serie A has been amazing.
Unless he's not really changed, and it's really just a gutter league...
He's been more than good enough to start for us this season.
I think the step up in pressure coming to arsenal probably toughened him up and got him ready for the step down at Roma.

Think it was probably the right decision to sell but i was just wondering yesterday what might have been had he come this summer instead and played for a side full of confidence and challenging for the title. Most annoying thing of all is that we really could do with a player of Gervinho's skillset.
You have a point. He would be playing differently in a side challenging for the title and full of confidence, instead of a side constantly under pressure chasing points.
Not to mention we lacked pace this season, he would be such a potent weapon.
