Arsenal (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

All I can say is, come on Forest- do a Leicester! Can't see it happening though. This season for us needs a big, thick line drawing under it. Time to let loose the deadwood, recruit, regroup, and challenge for 25/26.

You will see from my previous threads, I've defended Pep and the team. But something needs to change, I'm starting to worry it's the manager. Please tell me I'm wrong

Apart from playing one of the new defenders and shifting Akanji to right back ( which is really his only position) I’m not sure what combination Pep could have picked with the current players available.

The transfer policy for the last 12 months (pep is culpable for that) and loyalty to the old guard is what has cost us……added to diabolical fitness which is evident in any game against decent opponents.
 
Thought we did ok until we scored. Absolutely shambolic after that.

I really don't know who we are anymore. That was like watching a cat playing with a half dead mouse for the last 25 mins. Absolutely embarrassing. KdB throwing his hands around in the centre whilst walking having been on for 10 mins and not broke a sweat.

That side that finished would struggle to finish in the top 10 over the course of a season.

The 4th goal, my word 2 passes from the edge of their box to a goal at the other end. 6 seconds.

Why we are going into the last day of the window with gaping holes in the squad that we've known about for months is staggering.

Just hope Txiki has some rabbits to pull out of the hat for the last time, otherwise our season (silverware wise) will be over before the end of the month.

Get back in the game and that lazy, half hearted, lack of concentration, lack of urgency pass on the edge of our own box is simply not good enough. Really angry with Foden for the first time ever in his City career. That was NOT GOOD ENOUGH!

Up to that point, we had done well. Probably the more dominant team with most control. Savinho was dangerous, Gvardiol was very good, Stones in control, good movement from Marmoush, Nunes a good out ball.

But stupid stupid mistakes like League 1 standard dross from Foden, Akanji shitting it for their first… Ortega shitting it for Havertz chance, balsa wood hand for LS’s goal, didn’t even try and save Nwaneri’s goal… he’s not good enough.

Gifted then the game.

Thankfully, it’s just one result in a bad season that doesn’t really have any impact on our season but there are signs there that some people need to pull their finger out, massively.

Can’t disagree with any of that mate. Good summary.
 
We are conceding far too many goals this season. Pep should have changed our set up soon after the rot started. We could then have built from a stronger base and kept ourselves in games that we have just thrown away. Our passing and movement has been very poor, trying to play out from the back when players are not making themselves available to take the ball, in the past we would have two or more as options.
 
I don't like the way we lost today, But Please give Pep his best starting 11 and we wipe the floor with Arsenal
Stones Akanji shocking, NO Holding midfield player, NO full-backs, plus how many mistakes ?

Arsenal will milk it with we beat the Champions and deserved it, but sorry a very poor Manchester City waved the white flag and let you show off and take the piss,
 
Beyond shit. Don't know why we bother running back to defend, because we don't defend when we run back anyway.
 
5-1, 5 fucking 1!

A fucking disgrace of a team at the moment. Sock to the back teeth of watching absolute shite week in week out this season (cue some wanker smart arse "dOnT wAtCh ThEn")
