Coombs He's the opposite of a multiplier. He makes everyone around him worse. He's a divider.
That's harsh but have to say I loled hard at that.
wasn't impressed with his effort levels either. everyone looked really leggy against spurs after 30 minutes, but eddie didn't play against PSV so I expected him to be tearing around the pitch and being an energy leader. odegaard was the guy doing that, but wasn't backed up properly by eddie
Keep going young man, and keeping trying new things out there
KingslandBarge he had a good game against Bournemouth. He's doing a lot of stuff he doesn't get enough credit for, his link play and general passing has really developed. He keeps winning us penalties too. I reckon that push in the back would have been a bigger issue had we not already been well ahead when it happened, see those ones given more often than you don't.
Hit a purple patch, score a lot of goals. Get called up for England. Score a couple too.
And if we are luck we can sell for 50mill at end of season.
I can't stand Nketiah, way too basic for me. Always tunnel vision in important moments.

I don't think that was too bad, but yeah he's not the most aware of his surroundings. There was one last week I think where he was clearly offside but stole it off Ode's feet anyway.
He can serve a purpose off the bench though, adds a directness when things are not going too well. But really needs to learn to take up good positions in the box.
He's been as productive as anyone else at CF this season, his goals and the penalties he's won have been important. We need a first XI striker next year but at the moment Eddies doing ok when he plays.
Qwiss says more about the state of our CF play that this clearly mid-to-low table premier league player is as productive as any other arsenal CF. arteta, do foggin better.
He's a very blunt blunt instrument
He's imperfect but don't think he's the reason we're a bit goal-shy this season - the issue is our lack of creativity.
FEBravo thats sort of the level I see him at too. Which is why I'm comfortable with him as a squad option.
Meatwad yeah says something about our options but it says something about our supply to those options too. Don't think we are doing well by our CFs.
Is he better than Watkins or Calvert-Lewis or one of those strikers on these other teams? Genuine question. I think he’d do well at that level with more space, able to use his pace and not face packed defences.
FEBravo he'd be great for Palace or West Ham.
If you are shit at least make yourself useful.
Terrible sub performance, shit body language and couldn’t hold the ball up properly.
What use does he have when he doesn’t score? Any striker the from promoted teams can ‘work hard’.
He’s not a bad player but he’s not great. We need a great player up top to be where we want to be. He’s also a bad fit stylistically and therefore he’s erratic.
He can fill that Ivan Toney shaped hole at Brentford
no he can't. brentford need a striker that can hold the ball up.
He has so many of such matches where he has no meaningful touches or pass. Arteta is so ruthless in positions that don't even have a problem, not sure why we are persisting with him
Giroud used to make us long for the days of Henry. Nketiah makes me long for the days of Giroud.
Burnwinter Giroud was incredibly underrated.

I always say the grass isn't always greener. We were greeted with David Luiz after Mustafi.
I used to moan about Adebayor, and then slow paced VP came along who I never liked despite being an exceptional finisher and technician. Then Giroud came and made me pine for VP. Then came Lacazette who wasn't an upgrade on Giroud and following him is Jesus who is arguably the most talented of the lot but may be the lowest scoring of the bunch.
I’d rather Lacazette
