Robin was hardly ever in our reserves Klaus.
He was. He never played in our academy though. Same as Ramsey.
Can't wait until he earns Wenger's trust.
You mean you can't wait till he deserves it? He has much to offer going forward already (and I don't think the boss doesn't see that/trust him), but considering how much is missing in other parts - he's not ready. I admit wanting to see him come off the bench when we're cruising. But we should be patient.
I'm coming around to thinking that way too yuv. Initially I thought he should feature regularly in the match day squad and as a result come on as a second half substitute.
I still think he can do serious damage if he were given that role, but I also think that he should be gradually introduced into the set-up when it settles and is reliable, as opposed to being catapulted in when we were struggling.
I can't wait until Wenger fuck's off.
How did the boy play to tonight?
Nothing special. The team didn't really use the right side much.
McEachran wasn't used well either, just as Wilshere wasn't when he played under Pearce. Stuart Pearce has no clue how to get the best of technical players.

He's got to earn it. Wenger has got it right more often than he's got it wrong, in my opinion. Especially with the top notch talents we've had. I trust him to put faith in Alex at the right time.
That will come, I have no doubt at all. I think we'll be seeing him off the bench, like many are hoping for, towards the end of this year (he'll have time to work on other parts of the game, apart from bangin'em in and pan-pong with chez). Similar oxtrapolation seems to have faded with regard to Ryo. Do you see an Ox shade effect, or this just natural (considering where they come from? I remember you were excited).
Still absolutely positive Ryo will be a star. Wenger seems to want to talk him up at every opportunity, which is a good sign. Think it's a case of him having to adapt physically more than anything. He's just so slight, and that was never going to work in the Premier League. It's a matter of time before he makes a big impact though.
Didn't Cesc tweet he was delighted that Ryo got his work permit? That's great endorsement coming from a player like Cesc, so hopefully Ryo can adjust to the physical nature of the league.
Personally I am more excited about Ryo than I am about Oxpot. Think he will become a superstar.
Originally I was, but the ox has an unorthodox unstoppable style
The ox has the raw ingredients to be a complete player. Pace,power,dribbling,passing,shooting,crossing and the use of either foot.
Personally i think he's quite far ahead of miyaichi.
Oxlade is more technically gifted and intelligent than Ryo. Ryo needs to build around his impressive speed and close control because other than that he is lacking in most area's. He reminds me of Walcott when he broke into the scene.
You obviously didn´t watch him in Holland last season then, and you certainly don´t take into consideration that he was playing school football just over a year ago.
Miyaichi not being technically gifted is a load of bullshit to be honest.
He excites me too. I don't think he's going to end up the better player of the two but I think he's going to be a better forward than Chamberlain. His current physical build means that he'll have to wait a bit though. I fancy Chamberlain to get a lot of chances past christmas. Miyaichi is at least a season away. Maybe two. But he's going to fucking kill his opponents when he does get there.
Klaus, how would you compare to Miyachi to Walcott when he first started playing regularly for us about 3 years ago?
