Why? I like him but he wasn't the best player on the pitch.

It's all about opinions but until he got subbed, who was better? Bobby? Jota? Harvey? None of them could make the ball stick and again, until he was subbed, Ox had more shots than any of Bobby, Jota and Harvey in the game.

 

Or are we going to go Joe, Konate and Virgil were better because if we are, only Joe was close to Ox upto the point he was subbed.

 

Over the 90, I made Joe MoTM so yeah, Ox would only have been in contention if he'd stayed on for the 90 minutes.

Arrow well and truly dodged.

Oxlade was appalling. No idea what you saw, but it wasn't there.

All I can say bud is if Ox was appalling in the first half, Jota, Bobby and Harvey stank the gaff out in the same period. Harvey has an excuse being a young lad,

For the stuff the MSM commentators don't tell you

Ox is just pointless at this juncture. Same as ever, he and Keita gotta go. I'm sure Keita will somehow spawn a contract extension, though.

I'm not Keita's biggest fan by any means, but he's been much better this season, and I will have no issue with him staying.

 

We have a squad where the only reason we won't win everything going is corruption or Bayern.

 

Some of the opinions about us are batshit mental.

I thought Bobby started brilliantly and went off the boil by half time. Harvey was a non factor, but he was asked to play in the front 3. Jota isn't great without Mo and Mane, but he'll win us games.

 

Irrespective of all that, Oxlade Chamberlain was fucking gash.

To be honest, I thought Tsimikas had his worst game for us today, great cross for the goal excepted. We'll just agree to disagree.

Not in this run of games where we just have to keep on winning. No one can be afforded an excuse. Everyone has to deliver.

I love Bobby but I dont know how you can say that. All he had to do was lay the ball off to Jota in the first half but instead went for goal and made a hash of it.

 

Look, Im not going to slag our players off because of that game. We'll have to disagree.

I agree everyone has to deliver.

[Chocoholic]

First game in which I thought Tsimikas' general play wasn't up to usual standards. But given how he's stood up before, he has to be allowed this one. Like the Inter game, if you're going to lose one, let it be one that doesn't matter in the greater scheme of things.

 

The lad is well in credit, not least because even in a below par performance, he still gets an assist.

[an tha]

Tsimikas seemed to just lack composure today and it led him to make wrong decisions/deliver poor stuff. It really looked today to me like he just wasn't mostly calm at right moments.

Totally agree.

[TheHowieLama]

A poor game by the Greek included 8 takeaways - twice as many as anyone else on. And the assist.

7-10

One day people will learn that the angle of the camera is deceiving so you shouldn't pay any attention to it on the first replay. 

 

Sick of commentators going "yeah that looks miles on/offside" when the perspective they are looking from isn't anywhere close to being in line with the actual players.

Isn't VAR looking at that same angle much of the time?

Yeah, but I'm assuming when they're dragging the lines around it accounts for the fact that it's not at a perfect angle and automatically draws it in the right place.
