Akanji, Nunes, Kovacic, Bernardo, Gundogan, De Bruyne, Grealish, Walker (still our player), Lewis, Stones all need moving on sooner rather than later. And that’s before we address the goalkeeper situation, as if Ederson has had his head turned and Ortega doesn’t want to remain no.2, then both of them will leave too. Perhaps as many as 12 have to go. And I’d extend no sympathy to anyone. We have to be a serious club again.

Complacency has left us in this situation. No other reason for it.

Embarrassing, that.

For starters, I’m not sure why Arsenal fans don’t see the irony in how they’re celebrating today with the ‘stay humble’ stuff. They’re quite literally proving Haaland’s point - they’ve bottled another title race (3 in 3 years) but are happy with the small victories in games like this rather than looking at the bigger picture.

On us. So many passengers. So many cowards out there, dawdling on the ball. Backing out of tackles. No real urgency in how we play. Again. Just the same shit week in, week out with no apparent change of tactics from Pep but to flog a dead horse. Got players taking the piss against us. So easy to play against.

We dominated the ball when they were 1-0 up. Because teams are comfortable with us having the ball. There’s no real direction in how we attack and we rely on moments rather than genuine tactics it seems. An aimless cross into Haaland and hope we wins the header? Do me a fucking favour, man.

As soon as we scored, you knew they’d attack and you knew they’d score. But 38 seconds. Jesus Christ. Where’s the pride? The backbone? The fight to push on? It’s nowhere and has been lost for months.

Baffling. I’ll never turn on Pep. Never. But he’s had months to sort it out and hasn’t changed tactics at all since October. We’re wide open. So turn us into a counter attacking team. But then we can’t sit and defend. So put us on the front foot? Fine. But don’t push 8 of our 10 outfield players up so we’re 2v5 every time we lose it - because we will lose it - with no legs to actually get back.

It’s suicidal tactics and it’s criminal they’ve been the same for so long.

As for Arsenal. Fake cunts. From the manufactured song they’ve started playing and trying to claim as an anthem to the over celebration when they’re still miles behind in a title race. Stems from their block head **** manager who seems to alternate between playing left back and right wing depending on which way they attack.

Glad dippers will win the league.

Big Summer coming up for Viana. But before then it needs sorting on the pitch.

Did you write that during the game?
 
We're simply unable to beat most good sides anymore. I know that's obviously by now but maybe this result will cement that fact to the few who are still deluded about it.

All I care about is we start getting the right players in the summer and get back to where we should be.

I'm not even that bothered about today's result. It doesn't hurt as much as it should because it's just where we are at right now. I've come to terms with that. Not point on dwelling on it too much because the real work needs to be done in the recruitment now. The results for the rest of the season aren't as important as what our squad looks like going into next season.
 
Some of those players shouldn’t ever play again. Pep needs a rocket up his arse, too. Of all the shit served up this season that’s the most embarrassing of the lot
