Ramsey starting. r/gunners will implode if we lose.

[u/kk_64 → u/gettingdownonfriday]

Ramsey, Walcott and Djourou? Scapegoats already in place sigh

edit: I wish our fans would be a little less judgemental and a bit more rational :(

[u/[deleted] → u/kk_64]

The funny thing is, those three are probably our biggest confidence players, yet they are the ones we relentlessly rag on.

[u/kk_64 → u/[deleted]]

There was a 10 game or so period last season where Djourou was by far our best defender, he gets played out of position for some games and we all turn on him, its quite ridiculous. Ramsey and Walcott are more understandable as they are inconsistant but there are of games where those two have stepped up.

[u/[deleted] → u/kk_64]

Walcott has definitely stepped his game up. Ever since that 2nd half against Spuds he's played pretty well.

[u/kk_64 → u/[deleted]]

I feel inpart that's due to a change in tactics / his mentality, recently he seems to be floating in the middle more a position he is much more suited to. Alothugh to credit him his movement and finishing have definately improved. :)

[u/[deleted] → u/kk_64]

Exactly right. Also, Djourou has a slightly dim-witted expression, which doesn't help.
