    I absolutely love Lauren. Was one of my faves back in the day. Will never forget his spectacular penalty in the FA Cup final

    We have the talent just not sure we have the consistency. All too frequently we’ll just not show up.

        Yes, but you can only play with fire so many times before you get burned. We still have some incredibly tough fixtures coming up. Old Trafford, Etihad, TH Stadium, and both Liverpool matches, for starters. And this is to say nothing of the Cups and CL.

        It’d be one thing if we were playing like we did after the second goal, except all game. But we just looked lost out there till the second goal galvanized the team into action. We can’t do that and expect to come away unscathed.

          I’m more concerned about sleepwalking through easier fixtures and dropping points. The key to the title is doing just enough in the big matches to get by and wiping the floor with the other 15 teams. It’s those random 5 or 6 matches where you waste opportunities that come back to bite you.

          we have no good striker, can’t win header, can’t finish unless it’s wide empty, and can’t outrun defender. We just depends on saka and Martineli too much

    Lauren is one of the most underrated Arsenal players ever. He was one of my absolute favourites. The toughness and competitiveness he brought to the table was unmatched. I wish we had some more of that mentality in todays squad.

      Was watching back highlights of the 5-4 NLD game and it took me a good while to realize he wasn’t bald. What kind of super grip did his hairdresser have to make his cornrows that slim ??
