Arsenal(FA Cup Semi Final) Post Match Thread

One statistic that constantly sticks out for me (every time we play). They tried to kick us off the park in that match, and yet we finish the game with 5 yellow cards to 2. The referee basically allowed them to foul us every time we threatened to break. Ramsey must have stopped at least 5 breakaways by himself and yet he finishes the game with a perfect disciplinary record. Koscielny likewise.

Bang on mate. They kicked Silva out the game without a yellow and did it for the whole game. Not that that will get a mention

We all know the issues, keeper, full backs, centre mid and most of all for me a lethal forward and an upgrade on Sergio, who as daft as it sounds is 10% short of lethal.

Then good luck finding someone lethal. Aguero is not the problem.
 
Jusy leave pep i have defended you with the joe hart descision but that game management was not good enough #fraud. Before everybody jumps on the pep lovin bandwagon 'it will be different next year when we buy new player's' need to remember there was obvious flaws in our defence especially with ageing full backs last year

I wouldn't mind if we have ever been beaten by a better side but YET a fucking gain we have been beaten by bent refereeing decisions that have cost us the game i cant be angry at the team as it would have been a hell of a lot different if we had the penalty/goal not disallowed.
 
Not our day today. Officials screwed us and woodwork denied us twice. Silva going off early didn't help. Not enough attacking options off the bench. Disappointing from Sterling, SIlva, De Bruyne. Yaya and Navas our best today.

He's built a foundation of a style of football that is more complicated than anything ever done in England before and attempted to bring our tactical sophistication up to the level of the major European leagues.

He's also spent his first season assessing the squad and will be chopping some very popular names such as Aguero and possibly Kompany in order to facilitate this. He's created in Jesus, Sterling and Sane an attacking three that's potentially got ten years together and will be the envy of Europe.

In addition he's attempting to make the fans realise their role in a football match isn't passive which if taken onboard will be a lesson we've needed to learn for many years.

He's also as it stands putting us back into the Champions League.

He's got a big job ahead of him but let's not go all raggy and presume he's just turned up and tossed it off for a year.

I refuse to call the players and manager out after that because they where fucking cheated again.

Our time will come.
 
City by far the superior for the majority of that game but yet again can't make it count on the scoreboard. Arsenal showed heart but very frustrating as we can all see we play the better football. Needs sorting Pep! Hope Wenger gets a 10 year contract extension and we slap them next year.
 
Probably slated for my opinion but I don't believe we are good enough. Other teams destroy Arsenal, yet we mess about with 65%+ possession but can't convert our golden opportunities. We still insist trying to walk the ball into the goal or only score from inside 6 yard box.
Well done Arsenal, you proved how awful we are against a team that doesn't allow us space behind them. We had no answer or couldn't change our game. Losing Magic Dave was bad. I can't see us finishing in the top 4 now. Maybe it's for the best, build a team that will actually be able to defend.
Furious is an understatement. It looked like we didn't care and thought it would be a formality. We got what we deserved, FCUK ALL!!
The media will be in meltdown and a wankfest over Fraudiola.
Chelsea will never have an easier cup to win now.
 
Once we scored we stopped playing,but let's not kid ourselves people going on about Arsenal being poor only need to look at us as well,having said that we were fucked over by the officials and its getting to the stage it's happening every other game now,Its sickening am considering jacking it in and not even bothered about thurs night just fed up with it all ...
 
I think it speaks volumes that we had nothing on the bench to improve the team going forwards - by comparison, Arsenal had Welbeck, Walcott and Bellerin.

We're a work in progress and there's a lot of work to be done.

Oh and i think that Aguero is on his last legs at this club
 
I think Pep is an overrated manager. Genius when he gets the type of players to play the football he wants but exposed now that he doesn't have the World's best players.

Needs to be back massively this summer if he's going to succeed here.
 
And we all thought last season was shit...good grief, that's some achievement to spend another £150m in the summer and end up having a worse season, title run over by February....Sane decided not to bother running for a 15 minutes spell after we scored, Sterling was utter gash when he came on. Still, no doubt Pep is so so happy and we will spend £200m in the summer and perhaps even get up to 3rd next season....lots to look forward to.

Yesterday CFC get a pen with a blatant dive over the Spurs player and Atkinson has no hesitation in pointing to the spot. Yesterday our women are penalised in the first minute with a joke award of a penalty. The same criteria are just not applied to our circumstances. It stinks. It's season long. I'm not surprised our players' heads drop, match after match we're fucked over by incompetents or cheats. I cannot think of another season that comes close to this one for the shit decisions we've been subjected to. We might not have played well today but had we had the so-called 'smooth' with the season-long rough we'd be in the final!

True. We should have someone at the top question this, Khaldoon with a dossier of incidents - the push on Sterling against Spurs when the ref was the only one who didn't see it, Sideshow bob on Aguero, the two major incidents against us in the first half today, it just goes on. We need to be calling out these bent decisions from the very top, not just a manager having a post match whinge.
 
Very disappointing result but a familiar outcome this season. Played well in the first half in particular, scored a perfectly legitimate goal, which was ruled out but still scored another brilliantly taken goal. Arsenal scored from what seemed their first real chance with a quality cross and finish and the game was end to end after that. Created some good chances with Yaya and Fernandinho and also in extra time and is a shame that we could not get that second goal. As I said, we were the better team but once again a combination of factors have lead to the result- not taking chances, officials being poor and just being unlucky.

This was an opportunity to win a trophy this season but it is all about finishing in the top three now and all the focus should be on that.
