Jamie Carragher says Viktor Gyokeres will be dropped when Kai Havertz returns from injury
WOW - that's scary as I'd hope Kai doesn't start ever because Viktor is the man.
That would be a disaster - we sign out striker and the non-striker who isn't clinical keeps him out.
Come on Viktor - keep plugging away. Not too many "easy games" for you to bed into the faster superior league.

Carragher is a tool mate. Don't take him seriously. Even us Liverpool fans are annoyed with him and his statements. Absolutely no substance and his main role is to generate clicks.

Sy you do listen and take certain information that suits that massive confirmation bias of yours. As far as I know Carralgees has never managed and ( great players) the other day Adams and Merson you were agreeing with - awful managers but what the feck they agree with you. Maybe some balance is needed COYG
PS It’s the international break and he’s had knee surgery but you managed to get the daily Kai kicking in - kudos to you ?.

Hi Sussex? Hope you and family are well.
what opinion is that supporting? I’m saying I’m hoping he gets up to speed quick as it’s City after Forrest.
Last time I checked - Adams was an Arsenal hero and knows about leadership than a lot of people including me. Carragher should know about strikers as he’s marked plenty and an Arsenal great put him on his arse. I could add Keane into the mix also.
I’m opinionated and enjoy debate mate - I’ve been riding Mikel’s xxx for 3 years as he’s a bottle job and I want more pressure put on him for the clubs best future. At long last these questions are being asked.
What’s closer to the truth - that or the Arteta’s right bollox people have posted over past 3 years? “We should be so grateful as we were rubbish before” or “remember when we signed Silvestre” Remember when Wenger actually had money to spend?
Well I remember the great Wenger teams and won't use the rubbish Wenger years as a yardstick for Arteta to fall short of: even though he won more being rubbish than we do at present. Yes FA CUPS - but ask an ex-pro if that FA CUP MEDAL matters? The answer is yes mate.
Yes that was a cheap Kai shot - I’m sorry. I wish we never signed him. I also post stuff that contradicts my opinion as I was out with an ex-epl player who thinks Kai is awesome. Clearly he was drunk.
Anyway - hope you are well and enjoying life to the full. I am and I’m very happy.

Hi Sy hope you and yours are well too and wish your Dad well too. I’m off to Florida for two months on holibobs so all good here!
I am as bad as you in the confirmation bias stakes and probably get an irrational feeling when Arsenal are criticised! That includes MA and the players. Irks more from a Gooner. When on my computer my wife says ‘ you onto your girlfriend again’ . But I’ve loved Arsenal for twice as long as the current Mrs Sussex! As I say irrational. I’m a bit more relaxed maybe where Arsenal are concerned and more macro than micro managing. But where has that got me - I am obsessed with Arsenal know I can’t change it am overly protective so it’s the constant Kai kicking MA bottling and even the subtle second choice Viktor and Madueke digs that used to irritate but doesn’t anymore as the point has been laboured. Maybe listen to ex pros on both sides of the argument. Again I’m as bad as you I have a list as long as your arm of so called pundits I disagree with O’Hara too of the list. And remember when you criticise The Arsenal it’s like criticising Mrs Sussex and she doesn’t deserve that - well most of the time anyway. I’m sure I’ll disagree with 90% of what you say but that’s good and for two months I’ll be shaking my head in 30 degrees around the pool beer in hand readying for the golf course and The Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium v 49ers really appreciating we both want The Arsenal to win it all. How good would that be . Stay Happy and just read Saliba might play tomorrow COYG ? ⛳️ ?.

@sus-sex, hope your good mate, first things first hope you n yours have an amazing break away in Florida…sounds epic mate? got to say I’m jealous that your watching an NFL game…you a Bucs fan yourself? …nice game to watch against Mahomes n the chiefs, I’m a Saints fan myself (we’ve been not so great lately) but saving the pennys to try get over to the Superdome for a game. Soon hopefully ??

Hello Sussex, you and the missus have a fantastic time in Florida.
NFL is great to watch and i am a big fan of the Dolphins. Seen Nfl games over here but like Jegs would love to see a Nfl game over in them States. Did manage to see a NHL game in Vancouver once, amazing experience, the place was a madhouse.
Take care Sussex mate.

Hi Sussex, all good and I know what you say about my posts. Irony is it’s the constant bollox positive posts when we aren’t winning that drive me mad as it’s as if we’ve accepted not being great or winning. Suddenly trying is ok or not hiding behind the sofa is ok. We were the great entertainers and winners - we shouldn’t forget that. However, I do agree with you. Ido post some positive stuff too.
US for a few months - amazing!
Hope weather is great and plenty golf. I’m poolside and trying to figure out how to watch the game later today as I’m hoping we put on a show. A statement by performance not necessary a huge score but how we play. Great news about Saliba - he’s a monster although Timber is my new guy. The whole back 4 are pretty amazing to be fair. Appreciate the back and forth as I e learned quite a bit from posters like you. Think it was you that made me think an a Keane type captain still be as effective with todays player. Funny as Keane was debating rubbish like thar with Wrighty. I too am obsessed with the club - how it’s run. It’s turnover, non football revenue (deloittes report) , the board set up, youth coming thru, tactics, speed of addressing issues. Unfortunately I’m like that with work and I just want to be the best. Hate losing more than I love winning because as soon as I win, it’s over and I want to win again.
Anyway - thanks for asking about my dad. He’s up and down but still smiles when he sees me but on plenty meds. It’s cruel and family around him are amazing.
Get some decent sun, beer and golf - keep smiling and keep giving me rubbish.
Glad you are well.

Oh Jegooner a Saints fan! My son is as well and his wife a Jaguars fan so I have had bragging rights for ages now and let them have it! Dolphins Bill? Only two teams in Florida Bucs and Bucs reserves. Am very lucky to have been able to have done the Orlando Magic (Bubba Watson on courtside) and Rays baseball - a tough sport to watch and Orlando City and Players Golf.
Great result today - was working so haven`t seen and way to turn a fan base round Noni, could be a very shrewd buy. Mosquera played well too apparently and we still have Hincapie in reserve. Four games in and only a worldie past Raya.
I will reply more Sy - the number of times I`ve written a reply to you and deleted it because my old Mum said If you`ve nothing nice to say don`t say it. My Dad also said Empty Vessels Make Most Noise but I`m not aiming that at you Sy - well not this time anyway lol COYG.
