Arsenal (A) Match Thread

[RowlattsFox]

We are always chasing the arsenal player so either that's fitness, work rate or poor organisation. 

 

We are not making it difficult.

Why don't you buy out his contract then?

What a stupid response.

Let's see what the genius changes 

Not even his socks and undies probably 

[Beechey]

Hate this formation. Barnes can’t come back soon enough.

Amartey off for Daka please.

Daka and Vardy together? No thanks

We've almost had half the possession and one shot on target so he'll be buzzing. He'd only be happier if we'd had 0 shots on goal to keep it tight.

If Old Bob was Northern Irish.

Surprise, surprise, the camera goes on Brendan and unsurprisingly he’s clapping.

The water break after the first goal depressed me. Shot of Arteta gearing up his team, cut straight to a shot of Brendan boring ours. 🤦‍♂️

[Webbo]

Anyone would think that away to Arsenal was going to be easy. These are a very good side. 

[HoChiMinhFOX]

Just don't want to see Amartey in a back 5 again.

[Guest itude]

hey, I never said "willy puller" 

[Unabomber]

He better make some changes at HT. If he doesn’t then clear he wants to be sacked and paid off.

[lgfualol]

If we must have a back 5, take off tieleman or ndidi for Nacho. If we persist with this loser formation, bring on Praet and lets have some width too.

The thing is I think VAR worked correctly for once in overturning a decision that was wrong. However the threshold for clear and obvious in the premier league is ridiculous to the stage where those ones are never over turned. The general rule is any contact and the decision stands. I don’t get why it was different this time 

Because Mike Dean is the VAR! Ha ha.

[Grebfromgrebland]

2 nil at half time is good for us. 

[urban.spaceman]

Why do we always roll over for these *****?

[phoneticerror]

Why does Amartey keep starting???

[Deeg67]

Stick with this 11, Brendan - they can go the full 90.  You can sense the tide about to turn.

[Stephen Hughes]

Thought we started well to be honest. Then the goal knocked us and never got back into it.

We are miles behind Arsenal in every department and in every position.

 

Outfield perhaps - but Ward has definitely limited further damage. 

[Pliskin]

Just try and keep the score down. I think this shows now we’re so far away from where we want to be. Rodgers is clinging onto his job by his fingernails for me. 

[jim5000]

Turgid, three at the back and a defensive midfielder.

 

Timmy not in the game at all, and Justin is our only player making anything happen.

 

We deserve to be 2 down and could have been worse.

[squidsworth]

Same issues, different season. One answer to it, get rid of BR. I'd rather see Pearson back right now tbh.

Most people are probably pissed off due to the fact that we have been poor for about a year and a half.

Sorry but this isn’t just on the manager. Some of those players look like they can’t be arsed. Inexcusable.

Its the managers job to lead and motivate. That's what he is paid for. I said last season that Rodgers was losing the dressing room

[Gazza3]

Mike Dean on VAR made a career out of giving penalties for minimal contact , yet here overturns one that had been given .
