Arsenal(FA Cup Semi Final) Post Match Thread

[Chi-town blues]

I'm over it already, we were never going to beat bent officials Arsenal yes but not obvious bent FA men, more concerned about Thursday and Silva's injury

Ditto. Hope silva can play against the rags.

Bent officials,
Bravo in goals,
Navas at right back,
Clichy at left back,
De Bruyne on the pitch at all, has been poor for months,
Sterling back to his worst,
Taking off our one real goal threat,
some of the reasons why we lost today, pep could do nothing about the first one but he could have done a lot about the rest of them.
Would any other manager have done any worse with the squad this season? Somehow I doubt it.

Absolutely this. I have laboured this point on here and been blasted for it, perhaps @Damocles you merely expressed it more eloquently then I ever could!

you've probably been blasted for it because it's wrong. Good grief, the length you Church of Pep disciples will go to to excuse his underachievement this season is stunning yet at the same time, amusing

I not bravos biggest fan but did he really do anything wrong today ?

Not really but he just isn't making game changing saves.

Tried and trusted mate, they don't even have to hide it anymore and the club does fuck all about it, my neighbor is a Rangers fan so is English neutral and even he just said the officals fucked you over there mate and they were blatant with it

Whilst bias may very well exist at even referee level I don´t think their assistance is necessary because we proved today what all motivated PL and CL teams already know that whilst our style of play generates chance after chance we will rarely trouble their goalie with our inaccurate shooting.

Therefore all they need to do is leave possession to us, wait for our mistakes then maximise the inevitable chance or chances they may get via shots on our goal that however feeble or misplaced stand a chance of getting a goal if directed within the goal framework.

Of course our defence is suspect but that would not matter if we solved the problem of getting shots on target.
I am hoping our inaccuracy is a problem but am beginning to think it is a fact of life with no solution, at least for this season.

He is culpable for this season along with those above him.

He doesn't need to. The fact that he has proved himself a poor keeper who would not get in any other premier league team is enough. The opposition players are filled with confidence as soon as they see him playing and know any shot on target is likely to beat him.

He should have saved the first goal.

This.

Never thoughts I'd say this but I can't wait for video refs to come into existence.
It's the only way to stop the officials cheating us out of results.
Really f****d off today!
