Ah well
At least the issues that have been there all season are still there for all to see
Can’t fail to try and sort them now!
Appalling goals we give away

This is it. A couple of 5-0 wins against cannon fodder can't mask how over the season we have been crap by our standards. A lot of work to do close season and this time we have to get the recruitment right.

 

[razman]

Seems to be a lot of them this season

2016/17

Still no Bernardo

Should’ve come on instead of Rodri. At least he passes the ball forward.

 

[hertsblue]

A team of midgets and we still cross it high into the box

 

[Damanino]

Garcia WTF?

He let Aubamayeng go so alone there. Poor mistake.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

You cannot deny Arteta and arsenal have done their job well, bever seen such a strong defensive peeformance from them for a while and they have took their chances.

We have had chances but not took them.

As per fucking usual. We are great at taking chances at 3-0 up. Not so great when losing.

 

[mikemcfc]

been like it for 3 seasons, Jesus is no replacement for Sergio in big games

what service has he got today? nothing. the set up men have been slow, selfish, and woeful. to suggest no goals today is his fault is total wank.

 

[brummie blue]

Pep has been way too sentimental with Silva this season, should never play twice a week

and kept faith with Mendy a season to long

 

[Mcfchamps]

Cross after cross with no one taller than 5’10 in the box lol

 

[super_city_si]

Our record with gundo and Silva indicates a systemic issue pep is completely oblivious to.

 

[SidJames]

Bt Sport fucking loving this.

 

[ID70]

Ha here you are,every lose

Well we’ve had plenty of them this season and all playing the same slow tempo football, crossing the ball in to the box for the lone striker marked by 4 giants

 

[kdbrise]

We really need a target man kind of striker, too easy to defend in blocks against us. Is David allergic to shooting.

 

[Kokonut1307]

All he had to do was stay in line with the rest. The easiest fucking thing that you're taught when you're 8 years old.

All Walker had to do was follow his man. He failed twice and they scored twice. He does his job and we do not concede a goal.

 

[mcfc_ms]

What’s he going to do? Has he had more than 3 good games this season?

Can’t do any worse than any of the others On show

 

[Bentheblue]

They are very happy letting us chip pointless balls into the box

We do that every game, no idea why.

 

[ScottSinclair]

pep got this one totally wrong from the start, i must say, wrong formation, bad selection. Gundo and David cant start in important matches for this city team in 2020

Silva has been our best player after the restart.

Gundogan shouldn't be anywhere near this club.

 

[PinkFinal]

Relax we only lose to Woolwich in semis

 

[basokla]

What the fuck is this

An adequate summation of our season. Just beat these guys a few weeks ago. Easily.

It all goes back to losing Kompany and not having that same caliber leader in the squad (on or off the pitch) and it shows.

And a few players just really suck sometimes. Not even bothered to mention names - we all know which ones.

 

[Vicious111]

Garcia WTF?

He let Aubamayeng go so alone there. Poor mistake.

Can't blame Garcia for that whatsoever. Mendy playing him onside and it was Walker who failed to get a tackle in.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Time and time again, two players in goal scoring positions from crosses and the rest dawdling around the edge, making one of the most powderpuff defences in the league look competent and organised
