From other people in the game about sort of there'd be an asterisk around their name if they win the league or I don't recognise them as tight one.
It's absolute nonsense.
We analyse football teams on this show every week, all season, every year.
There's no right or wrong way to play football.
It's about being the best at what you do.
And right now, whether you like it or not as an Arsenal supporter, they're going to be remembered as the set-piece team.
Whether they like it or not, when they win the league in 10 years' time, people will say, oh, it was only set-pieces or whatever.
But how could he take on JΓΌrgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola, two of the best teams in European football at that time, with...
Less maybe wages or less spend at the time.
He had to find another way and he's done it.
No, because listen, when you say we all love certain things about certain teams and certain things we don't like about certain teams.
Now, it's not just this season.
The goalkeeper going down, we're talking about taking the long over that.
Now you could argue they're that good at set pieces.
They actually take the time, they make sure they've got all little plans to talk to each other on the way up.
They've got different variations.
For me, that's not the end of the world, you know.
You probably wouldn't expect the best team in the league to take so long off the set-piece.
Normally, teams are at the middle of the table or lower down, trying to slow the game down all the time.
But listen, that's Arsenal's way and they're brilliant at corners, so how can you, you know, everyone else maybe should take 44 seconds if they get as many goals as they do.
