I think we tend to agree GT bar Strikers.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ah yeah....you like Benezma, right?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
yup
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think he isnt bad Edin but he is not world class or anywhere near. And yes a big game bottler as well.

Henderson is the new James Milner. Consistently good and yet unappreciated by so many. Quality player
-----'
True Henderson is same as Milner but both overrated

Big game bottler is such lazy criticism of strikers IMO, a striker being 1 in 3 prolific in the bigger games isn't 'bottling' especially since most teams aren't very expansive. It is just cos Messi/Ronaldo are so good that the goal-posts have moved and people expect too much.
Gonna stay clear of the board tonight..
This performance was abject.
Sterling cannot start at the weekend surely..

You are right here and I agree with your statement but that is not what a big game bottler is for me, Edin.
For me a big game bottler is someone who dissappears regularly in games which are decide to go through to the next round in a cup competition for example. this must not necessarily against a big club.
Benzema is a quality selfless striker. Much like GT's favourite Giroud, only he can play a bit also. He allows the likes of Ronaldo the space to get the goals he does. That's another reason we have suffered this season. Teams have been able to push up on us as we haven't had a quality striker pushing them back allowing those behind him space.
TOOR, to be honest he is not my favourite Arsenal player. I defend him because he is scapegoat for so long at Arsenal. Everything that went against us was his fault automatically. People treated him unfairly and I saw the potential in him.

Good player but I can see why some would be frustrated with him, not the quality of the player but the type of player he is. Perhaps some would like somebody who fits in more with the pace of the system and the players around him.
Think our problems run a lot deeper than just in the striking department too TOOR. Lacking real quality and control in midfield at the moment, Allen continues to very unconvincing.
Either way wouldn't try discuss it on the board until tomorrow at the very least...
Nah GT, Benzema has a pretty good rate in all El Clasico's and is involved in a lot of the build-up.
I think people who don't like him judge him as a striker, where he is almost more a false 9 with Bale/CR7 being the strikers.
Edin, as I said before. I dont judge players on the big games.
What's rodgers said post match?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
That's his main problem, TOOR. He is different to all CF in the PL and to all that have played for Arsenal. But how he is playing now is complete different to the player we bought in 2012. He improved and adapted his qualities to our game. I think he is very good now and useful.
Whats he said post match?
I'd have a guess and say oustanding?
Players showed endeavour and effort but don't score enough the goals, the usual.

In the past we had a certain Gerrard to rescue us. We don't have that luxury anymore.

Well that's it, we now need to sign a big player in midfield also as Gerrard couldn't do what he did last season and now is moving on. Allen is a decent player but not good enough to be a first team regular. Perhaps Can can do a good job in midfield but in Can and Henderson, there isn't enough goals.
For me we worked best with a diamond so that means we need to sign a defensive midfielder, with Can and Henderson ahead of them with Coutinho at the top. We then need a striker also. Plus a right back. I'm hoping we make only around four signings and this time quality not quantity.
We must also sell Balotelli, he has been a disaster and obviously the Sterling situation needs sorted, sign or sell.

Agree with all of that, as you say quality not quantity is the key, going to be tough to attract the right players though.
Rodgers disrespected Carra.
Carra on the coaching staff should've been a no brainer.
No chance of him ditching sky for us now.
