Arsenal (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

Telling you pal. I'd fucking love a run in the Europa. We haven't won it and theirs some weird and wonderful teams to play.

12 years of absolute bliss watching us play. I'd have taken 12 days when we was shit.

The fucking entitlement in our fanbase is very sad to see.

I said the exact same.

I can defeats on the chin and soon forget about them.

I can't accept no effort and the players not giving a fuck. That's what happened today. It's disgraceful.

Yeah that’s what grates me so badly. I dont mind losing, what fucks me off is a side that seems to just accept playing so weak so easily.

 

[CityDE]

Phillips-> Kovacic-> Nunes. What the fuck were Pep and Txiki thinking man. Absolutely embarrassing to get three midfield signings so wrong. So much money spent on players that are either average or terrible.
Without Savinho, Haaland and Gvardiol we would be in even more trouble this season.

 

[The perfect fumble]

Haaland is taking it in his stride...

 

[OntarioBlue]

We’ll win the home games and lose the away ones

Don’t we have to play the Dippers ?

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

Well it won't be forest , so the tarquins are the only option, and that would be unbearable

At least it’s not them scouse fuckers

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

If you mean for us to get 5th after that shitshow of a performance yes a miracle

It's a poor reflection on the league this year, but really not. No miracle required, because poor as a we are — and this is as poor as we've been since Pellegrini's last season, no question — everybody's flakey, with the arguable exception of Arsenal. Liverpool will win it, the media are jizzing themselves about an entirely fabricated “title race”. Arsenal nailed on second. Then it's really anybody's — including ours, for the next two or three spots.
That is just the truth. As I say — a poor, poor league outside of two teams.

Pep needs a total re think. This season the whole playing style from the "average" teams has changed.

We are being found out every week now. But we get away with it because of our clinical forwards or poor mistakes by the opponent.

He continues slamming the same tactics into the pitch every week.

We need a re fresh. New ideas. A lift from somewhere. Chuck the new lads in maybe?? You never know, we might discover some different attributes.

Other managers have eventually learned everything about Pep, this is inevitable, over many years you can study him and take the good bits.

He isnt clearly the best anymore, still a top manager, but he might need to stay on top of what the new managers are doing and adapt.

Shouldnt fully blame thia game on him though, this was mostly the players fault, but Pep is at fault for how this gamr went as well.

 

[BlindEyeSeesAll]

Nunes is AI programmed.

To never take on and beat a player?

[Blue Calx]

Even Sterling looked pissed off at the end.

 

[Bantamgaz]

Football is cyclic no one team dominates forever and football tactics and styles of play change.

Guardiola seems unique in that his ability to change tactics from game to game is now the issue

I think the adage of possession of the ball is the best form of defence is well and truly gone

Personally if this continues into next season then questions have to be asked

It wont carry into next season he will have plans to move a different way it amazes me that one manager who has done it all aint allowed the one off season .............i bet you go back through the history of the game and every great manager who ever lived had the odd off season ...........still no doubt the media will go after him they will lord over Arteta and guess what come the end of the season Arteta will have failed yet again and that in a nutshell is the issue with the media in this country

 

[Phoenix900000]

Your analogy is not correct.
He has alternative players. But they don't provide what he needs or wants.
Maybe Pep rested on his laurels after last season.
Whatever it is, the manager is the one playing with the same tactics and receiving the same outcome.

If the players are not as good as say Rodi and Dias then yes you are going to struggle no matter what tactics your provide (any club would struggle )

Glad all the fannies have come in who don't comment when we win. Mistakes were made, we move on. They had their day out (dvd incoming) which was overdue. Fuck the tatquins. We will win the champions league. Keep the faith. MCFC OK

Keep taking those mushrooms , we wouldn’t win the FA Vase with that amount of past it shite on the pitch.
Is the full members cup still a competition?

 

[dannyboiblue]

Have to admit it now lads. Arsenal are shite so that puts us in a very bad position. The mighty have fallen

See those are the kind of aways I'd be all over. New grounds, new teams, new countries.

 

[CC1]

You sound like a menopausal woman mate.

There’s no universe where you can genuinely assess that Arsenal team as “utterly mediocre”.

That’s a right f******* insult to women. He sounds like an entitled little boy

Before the ball was even kicked people were saying they would take a 1-0 loss. Not sure what the problem is now with this same people lol

 

[M12Blue]

Player ratings today?

Ortega 1
Nunes 5
Akanji 2
Stones 6
Gvardiol 5
Kovacic 4
Bernardo 3
Savinho 5
Marmoush 6
Foden 1
Haaland 4

And it was only 5-1, some of them harsh, at least to 60 min.
What am I saying spot on

 

[jrb]

At least it’s not them scouse fuckers

Yet!
