You asked me to read it again and check my head! How's it exactly what you said, ffs!

Isn't it you that needs that head check?

Aren't those two posts contradictory though?

Here's what I understood:

- I point out that Sina and Moal have contradictory posts.
- You thought I was wrong and asked me to read again
- I highlighted the contradictions
- You are currently trying to argue that you have been saying along that they were contradictory, though your first message didn't suggest that

Well played

Sarcasm isn't your strong suit, is it Sri?

You cannot seriously be trying to deny that when I said my posts were contradictory I was right.

FFS   

AnJL, sarcasm's got nothing to do with it, I'm just trying to set the record straight.
So let's recapitulate:

1. Sina started off by saying he feels Alexis is, due to his instincts, a natural fit at left wing and therefore complements Walcott nicely.

2. The Dear Leader, contrarian that he is, of course disagreed by claiming Alexis had always struggled on the right side and had his best games as left wing.

3. Then you came in and said that their posts didn't answer, and neither pose, the question of whether Alexis could be an effective alternative as center forward.

4. I merely injected myself to point out the glaring contradiction between Mole's and Sina's posts which you had failed to notice.

So what's the fuzz all about? And when will Poldi be allowed to return to Köln?

Okay let's see:
1. Sina say Alexis is NOT good on the left. You read this wrong and haven't noticed it yet. Sina goes on to ask what we will do when both him and Theo are fit, as both seem to fit the same inside right role.

Sina wrote:starting to feel Alexis cant be used on the left side
with his instincts and the way he reacts and move he is best suited to inside right role so how we fit in him and Theo when everyone available

2. Your understanding of this part on Moal's post is correct. Moal did say Alexis is good on the LEFT and poor on the RIGHT, thereby contradicting Sina.

3. I merely point out that both are saying the exact opposite about Alexis. My post has nothing to do with him being a CF or not.

4. My first post IS about the contradiction because I DID notice it.

Let's break it down:

Sina: Alexis is good on Right.
Mole: Alexis is good on Left.
Sri : Wait, you guys are contradicting each other.
Hans: What are you on about, read that again and check your head.

If you still don't see your misunderstanding/miscommunication, I am not typing this stuff again. Puh!   

Also, Poldi stays. He's ours. He may not play much but we love him too much to see him go. #Aha #JaGunnersJa #Aha

Sri you got rekt m8

Ok.
Looking closely at this again I have to admit my reading comprehension let me down.
You were right, they do contradict each other, and I failed to notice.

Thanks for clarifying, but next time please express yourself more clearly in the first place, so we can spare ourselves a lot of laborious back and forth

GL

Last point, and I promise to shut up:

Regarding Alexis as left or right winger, just don't worry your pretty little heads about it too much, as I'm pretty sure Wenger had his state-of-the-art team of perceptoneuronal psycho-opthomologists map Alexis' pattern of preferential vision and has long figured out which side Alexis is best suited to.

Alexis was born bought to play through the middle!

No, no. I insist on the two of you being as vague as possible with each other in the future.

I quite enjoyed that.

Lol.. You pos, next time read before playing argument ping pong I had to read the Sina/Moal posts a fair few times to be convinced that I wasn't making a fool of myself! And then I had to spell it out to you over and over



Also, I am not flustered about where Asexis plays, as long as he plays well. Same applies for other players really. Team selection isn't my headache, it's Arsene's.. My headache is when I have to watch a painful performance.. Especially when I have to suffer due to lost points later.. :/

In my defense, I was at work and had to steal moments to play ping pong, without risking any coworkers realizing that I was slacking off :/

It's hard you know!

sri lol you think I didn't read?

I apologize however for taking my boredom out on you with a completely unprovoked nonsense attack, you did nothing to deserve this tbh apart from posting excellent posts, which I can't tolerate.

Only just got the chance to come on forums.

Average performance; rusty, lack of match fitness etc, but we got the win. It's fantastic that Ramsey continues his excellent goalscoring run.

We will improve with more games, increased fitness and when Ozil, Mertesacker and Walcott return, we'll be a lot better.

We have to improve for Besiktas and Everton, both away, of course. Be interesting to see who plays in Turkey.

I'll ignore the first part because you're such a pos..
I like the second part, I'll take that as a complement

Actually starting to wonder if Mertesacker will step back into the first X1. Calum is looking good. He is much faster and his positioning seems good. With Debuchy slightly lacking the defensive cover that Sanga provided. Mertesacker might find it difficult.

You should, as that's how it was meant.

He'll go straight back in, in all likelihood, regardless of how well Chambers is doing. Little chance of Wenger leaving out Mertesacker's experience and leadership because a 19 year old had a couple of good games.

Wenger will look to protect Chambers the same way he protected Chamberlain, I think.

Not to mention that we've conceded from so many crosses already and with Mertesacker back in the team that should be less of a problem.

If Debuchy can't properly defend and needs everyone around him to cover for him then that's his problem and he will be replaced by Chambers if he doesn't perform.

Bellerin should get a shot for that position to, he looked pretty good in the pre-season.
