Arsenal (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

There's a lot you could mention with the pass, pass, pass but I don't think they think on their feet enough if a good situation arises . E g. After a few passes someone is wide unmarked with a perfect couldn't be better opportunity to cross, but instead carries on passing and the move fizzles out a minute later.
It wastes 5 minutes ifor nothing and gives up a decen t attacking position.

Cant accept that is an effective way to play

Pep setup is 100% the right way to play, But it needs the players that are brought to the club to play in their right positions, NO full-backs, No holding midfield players, 100% give Pep a starting 11 in the right positions and we wipe the floor with Arsenal today.

We need 2 holding Midfield players including Rodri, We need a left back and Right back plus cover, We need to replace KDB and Silva and a new keeper, It's a very big mess at the moment and we will do well to win the FA cup and a Top 4 place with what we have at the moment.

What a pity we don't have an alternative RB - say, some young kid who perhaps comes to a strange country without speaking a word of the lingo, maybe makes a complete rickets 3 minutes into his debut, gets booked a couple of minutes later, yet still has the character to perform well enough to be able to hold his head high when coming off mid-second half.
If only...

Just maybe said player shouldn’t have been thrown in at the deep end within hours of arriving in a strange country - if anyone has put that player back by six months it’s the manager, playing someone who shouldn’t even have been bought in the first place is no excuse - I’d rather Kalvin Philipps be in the squad and that’s saying something.

I think we do when it’s called for. I thought how we were going to play today when I saw the team.

I thought Pep was going in that direction too - didn't pan out that way though eh ;(
I don't think we have the defensive discipline to sit in - that's what worries me most about Madrid. It's a tie I only see us winning by soaking up pressure currently but we won't - I can easily see it being 8-3 on aggregate lol!

Full backs. Once again our most potent attackers appear to be the full backs who get themselves free and into ideal crossing positions time and time again. They then pass the ball inside. They have, possibly, the best traditional centre forward in the world (who hardly gets any touches) to aim at. Cross the ball as soon as possible before the defence has a chance to set itself into their battle positions.

I'm bald because I've pulled my hair out so much because of the fba cutting back inst and of whipping it in.

Get it to Erling and let him fight for it, he lives for it.
 
I honestly don't know what he was trying to achieve with that line up. I know he knows more than me but that was just weird. If we were going to get beat, and we were, why not get something out of the game?

Captain black had blooded those kids in other games, we've played at it.

We may need to beat the dippers 3 times in the coming months or Arse twice, but we need reason for optimism.
 
One thing that’s true is that teams are generally built on their spines and with no ederson, Dias, Rodri and debruyne our spine has been ripped out.

You never saw it coming ? We got dry bummed off Spurs and Bournemouth, and Feyenoord would have dumped us out of the CL given another ten more minutes play , 2 nil up against Brentford, the list is endless. This has been 100% coming since the 7th/8th game of the season, this team is finished.

Sad to say but maybe it's finished Pep. He can't seem to steady the ship , easy to say oh we're rebuilding/transition etc but I think things have gone so pear shaped and judging by Pep's high standards he may be thinking this is a bridge too far and walk. I wouldn't blame him and from following City from the early seventies I will be eternally grateful to the great man for giving us 10 years of unbelievable success.
