Arsenal FA Cup SF Post-Match Thread

Even the VAR thread is quiet.
Out of curiosity did you think it was a penalty?

Secondly, Did you have any faith that they should give it?

Mustafi got none of the ball until he went through Raheem.

Another challenge tonight was Mustafi sticking his studs into David Silva while Fatty Moss stood looking at. I don't think it was a red card but certainly shouldn't of let play just go on and no booking.
 
Disappointing night , fair play to Arteta , tactics spot on with three at the back , outthought pep tonight .
Can’t remember any team shutting us out that convincingly even in other games we’ve lost this season , usually we create a hatful of chances and get sucker punched on the break .
Never looked like scoring tonight though .
I’m not sure where It’s gone wrong this season .
Not sure I agree with posters saying we need to rip up the whole squad .
We’ve got one of the most expensively assembled squads in the world , £60 million right backs who can’t get a game .
Not sure throwing money at is the answer .
also peps purchased all these players people are now saying to get rid of , In previous posts I’ve seen people saying get rid of stones , Mendy , Mahrez , Jesus , Cancelo , rodri , Gundogan , Walker.
Maybe one or two will go like stones , zinchenko Possibly Cancelo but it’s not feasible or realistic that we will sell half the squad .
A lot of these players have also won us numerous trophy’s over the past few years.
I’m not sure what’s gone wrong but imo since the beginning of the season we’ve just not had the intensity to our game , and not just the players that’s pep included .
Honestly I’m not sure peps head has been 100% in it this season .
He’s seemed distracted to me .
And just a bit worn out .
When you think of the centurions season and last season he was right at it , this season to me he’s just seemed a bit short of ideas and almost like he’s Been going through the motions a bit .
This will be his fifth season correct me if I’m wrong ?
He’s never stayed this long at a club I believe .
He’s so intense and demands so much from himself and his players , I’m not sure he’s suited to being at a club for ten years plus .
I believe his loyalty to the board and the players will keep him here this season , which I think will be his last btw .
But I feel like there’s been a change in him and the team this season , intensity has dropped off .
Best manger we’ve ever had , and I’ll support him 100% while he’s here .
But Might come the time soon when we need a fresh face in , and some one who’s gonna commit for the next 4 5 years .
I could be chatting shite , had a few beers this evening , but just my take on things lol .
 
Agree 100% but not a chance I will defend Mendy hes poor

Everyone was, I just don't think he was the extent of the problem.

The reality is the way to beat Pep has always been sit deep and defend as an organised unit and counter with pace, Liverpool and Leicester have done it too us numerous times, even utd did it too us with Rashfords pace.
 
I've always thought the criticism of Gundogan has been over the top and unjustified

But tonight he was absolutely wank… we may as well have played with 10 men

He has had some great games for us in the past but today he was just so passive.

Anywhere on the pitch its a foul with possibly a yellow card.
