No chance he deserves anything like the amount of negativity he gets. He's muck. Non existent to the point where you forget he's even on the pitch. More sideway passes than Henderson. He was good in bygone days and in the lower leagues but let's be honest, when has another prem team even considered making a bid for King? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably Mertesacker (not sure if he'll still be out), Holding and Monreal as the CBs, Oxlade Chamberlain (or Bellerin?) and Kolasinac as wing backs.

How long has Drinkwater had an injury now ffs? Didn't Ranieri sack a sports psychologist? I wonder if the 15/16 sports science team is in tact.

Not sure mate, I'm not Rudkin. The point is how do we know they haven't? I'm willing to wager that we don't get to know about even half of the offers made for our players. And again, I'd 100% agree with you if he was starting for us but he's not - HE'S 5TH CHOICE. Yes there's a reason for that, of course, in the premier league he isn't very good. But he's a loyal, humble member of a squad that is built on togetherness - he's going nowhere and I'm more than happy with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's fifth choice in our eyes but unfortunately he seems to get on the field of play fairly regularly. In happy to have him in the squad as a nice man and to see him gurning once in a while but I just don't want to see him on the pitch for any real period of time. There's been a few occasions last season where we were chasing games and our magic idea was to bring King on. There's no worse sinking feeling than that.

Great Boos Up Posted 9 August 2017 Share Posted 9 August 2017 It's Arsenal away! probably our hardest fixture. Let's not stress and get into em. A point would be delirious.

st albans fox Posted 9 August 2017 Share Posted 9 August 2017 was dissapointed with our approach last April. Parking the bus and hoping for a 0-0. Really hope the last two games there have taught Craig that this tactic is likely to lead to a narrow defeat. however, I would be shocked to see us trying for anything other than the 0-0. kelechi isn't match ready so easy for Craig to leave him out and bring him on late if/when we are chasing the game. I expect 4-5-1 and a long evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted 9 August 2017 Share Posted 9 August 2017 best time of the season to play arsenal away. Also as they're probably one of the more fragile teams mentally, there is the real potential to go bury them with pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronnup Posted 9 August 2017 Share Posted 9 August 2017 James is not ready for 90 minutes against arsenal away. King and Wilf? Crumbs. We needed Danny for this one, we'll probably spend the game pumping it to Kelechi, Vards and Riyad. That could work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
