Arsenal (A) Match Thread

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

You all forget going to Arsenal is among the hardest games in the league. Yes we’ve shot ourselves in the foot, but it doesn’t warrant the meltdown currently going on 

[Lesterlad]

What a fun afternoon

[dmayne7]

All these games have shown are that if we had been coached vaguely well, we'd be on 6 points and looking on for a great season.

We have invested. Last season. In shit players. That's why we've struggled to add this season.

Yup, players that Rodgers hand picked. We're suffering because of that. We can't register players without getting some out

Mentality we are the weakest side I have ever known. Just a shambles.

just look at last week, when Brentford made it 2-1 it was guaranteed they would equalise.

But we concede within seconds of getting within 1 goal 

That’s what happens with the clone of a cheese eating surrender monkey in charge.

Go for a piss - miss 2 goals.. 

Go grab a beer and put oven on - miss 2 goals.. 

 

 

Off to do something now in the hope i come back to 4-4 ? 

If you go and come back slightly quicker you might stop arsenal scoring.

Which is one better than wards contribution.

Bad from Praet, even worse from Evans. Such a lazy pass that he undercooked.

Evan had no option. Ndidi stood right behind an Arsenal player. Mendy would have ran into space for a pass. Problem with Ndidi all game, every game. Major knock on effect. Said this many times.

We’re ****ing shit relegation battle will be on

Although it’s a bit of a shambles at the back, we’ve got too much quality going forward to be dragged into a relegation battle. 
For all it’s faults this team scores a lot of goals.

The fact is we just don’t do the basics well

Exactly. That's what I mean as well. On top of that we only play for around 30 minutes per match, the rest of the time we just don't seem to engage our football brains at all.

Our standards aren’t high enough. 
 

This is totally unacceptable. 
 

Last week was totally unacceptable. 
 

The last 18 months, has been totally unacceptable. 
 

That’s largely on the players, however the Manager has a large part to play in that as it is his ethos and disciplined that should run through the team. 
 

We’re not crisp or sharp enough, we need to cut some people lose unfortunately. 

Been saying it for ages mate. The acceptance of this crap is a real worry

I really don't think Brendan is capable of sorting this mess out. Our defence is shit with our best back 4 playing, and Ndidi isn't the player he was.

 

We need new ideas and style, not new players.

How many times in all the years did you see him do that?

Not that specific mistake, but made mistakes. Anything else is not factually correct 

[An Sionnach]

Jesus misses a sitter, we have been lucky this afternoon. Two terrible errors by Arsenal as well.

[Facecloth]

Just now, KingsX said:

Change of formation has done us good.

 

Please, please take that out of this match at least Brendan.

Yep, going to 4 at the back has made us much more competitive. The 3 doesn't suit us, as a team. Makes us more vulnerable, Ndidi's strengths are lost, and we aren't as effective going forward.

Evans looks old. We need at least 1 CB in even if Wes stays.

He is old. 35 this January.

[Phenom]

Ward WTF buddy

[TeamRocket]

What's his excuse this time?

Such as? How many drops, fumbles, shots through legs utter clangers. And not totally debatable shots from set pieces etc. He barely made any, in fact off hand I can think of about two in 10 years.

What difference does that make? 

[Phenom]

Can we sell Ndidi and Youri to United? They seem as desperate as us.

[FoxesWalk]

Ward and Fofana need to sort their shit out
