Arsenal could play until next week and they wouldn't look like scoring

Munster Vs Bordeaux is men against boys.

Ødegaard shouldn't be let near a corner or a free kick when Saka and Rice are both on the pitch.

There's no chance Crowley will sacrifice his international future by leaving Ireland for his prime years. Typical pre-contract posturing.

I can't wait to see the back of Thomas Partey at Arsenal.

So often he takes too many unnecessary touches and slows our build up, and he's a defensive liability.

Prendergast is going to be an unbelievable player for Ireland, but I think the decision to fast track him for this championship has cost Ireland a Grand Slam.

This has been an embarrassing 2nd half from Ireland.

The decision from Gardner to award France's 2nd try was a joke, but Ireland's response to that in a championship decider was so, so disappointing.

We also generally look better going forward with Jorginho imo.

VAR absolutely unequivocally did not want that goal to stand.

Cian Healy is a bone fide Irish rugby legend, but there's no way he's Ireland's 2nd best loose head in 2025, he's completely done.

Yeah Murray has been the standout for Wales today

They're bad, they have so little talent and their tactics are even worse.

Losing Feyi-Waboso was a blow and not selecting Rio Dyer seems strange.

I missed the France, game but Wales see to be getting worse under Gatland.

Aside from Tomos Williams and Jac Morgan, the quality doesn't seem to be there.

08.02.2025 14:57 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

Aside from Jac Morgan and Tomos Williams Wales are so average it's unbelievable.

If Hansen is a doubt, Nash should come in on the right wing too.

04.02.2025 20:43 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Crowley, Sheehan and Conan in from the start, for Prendergast, Kelleher and Baird.

McCarthy for Ryan too if he's fit.

Having someone who could take the last 20 minutes off Kai in games that are done, to stop him getting an injury would've been important. We are flogging Kai to a worrying degree.

And this is correct and this is why we couldn't beat Bayern over 2 legs.

Oh and it's also part of the reason why we dropped points at home to Villa, we rotated Jesus in and didn't score.

Like all most fans wanted was a back up player to cover numbers who could contribute more than what Sterling has. It's not as if that's a high bar.

Even a 2/3 week injury to any of Kai, Leo, Gabi or Ethan and we are screwed.

I think that's nonsense. I think most fans crave trophies and we have a small enough window where we need to maximise this teams potential, and through a lack of ambition/planning we have effectively written off another season without a trophy. Unless we win a CL

I don't think he's pulled up any trees at any stage for Ireland. I think he's lucky he's playing in a dominant Leinster team. He needs to step up if he really wants to grab that shirt long term.

It's alot harder for Izzy/Prendergast/Ahern to make a case for the shirt in much weaker teams.

Baird needs a big performance too, to justify his continued selection. He was very quiet again.

That was a brutal first half from Ireland, forcing things far too much.

But the game is still there for the taking.

01.02.2025 17:44 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

He's miles better than Jesus. Jesus has been brutal for 18 months, had he not done his ACL Arsenal would be looking to sell in the simmer. And in terms of goal scoring Watkins has been outperforming him for 4 seasons in a row, in a worse side.

Well Jarred Gillet, an on record Liverpool supporter gave a controversial red card against Arsenal, leading to Saliba being suspended Vs you guessed it Liverpool, was allowed to officiate Arsenal subsequently. So you better believe he will officiate us again.

The worst thing about Havertz isn't even his finishing, it's how often he goes down easily looking for soft frees.

A fair comment, but I do find Partey's constant switching off/failure to track runners unforgivable. He didn't close Digne for the first and the 2nd one was terrible.

Did the same earlier in the season Vs Brighton

Mikel Merino looks like such a poor signing from Arsenal, the lack of creativity from midfield is something they badly need to address and the left 8 is the most obvious place for that #Arsenal

2 sitters in 2 games from Kai. Brutal.
