Arsenal FA Cup SF Post-Match Thread

I totally agree with this. He is the face of a massive club and football organisation. You can dress casually and be smart. At present his attire does not give a good impression.

Nonsense. We didn't lose a game of football because Pep wore ripped bloody jeans.
Klopp looks like a scouser every match day with his tracksuit and baseball cap yet he won a title and Champions League...
I doubt Pep wearing a suit yesterday would of changed the result!

For what it is worth I like him on the left and cutting in but only if Pep releases the shackles on these skilful players, it is almost like he coaches individual skill out of them for ball retention purposes, this then leads to your example of pass before shoot, as I have no doubt that Pep is always going on at them on the practice field, is somebody else better placed to score than you? By the time they look the snapshot is gone and half the time the pass as well.

but then that comes down to poor judgement - KDB in that example wasnt better placed at all. Pep also says that int he alst third his players have freedom. Its only in the defensive third and middle third that he wants absolute ball retention. Part of it is mental with GJ but if you also look at his technique when striking a ball (shooting) it isnt always great - its a bit like Sterling who has improved but is still wayward
 
My wife said it was the most disappointing semi she has seen for a long time , I said we’ve been married for over two centuries , I’m almost 50 and just seen my team papped out of the FA cup...

A cheeky £75 upfront for King Arry or straight swop Stones & Zin or some other permutation to suit.

Kane Kun & Jesus.....anything not to like. 60 goals a season !!

am puzzled why pep has not singed somebody else upfront (striker) we are lacking somebody getting 30 goals if aguero gets his normal injury he picks up every season ? pep at barca had a dodgy defence but had goals in the team to get him out of jail ? this season city have score goals but leaked goals and many silly goals in games we should have won easy but we missed so many chances

spot on and that's why it hurts more ?

we are better than arsenal by a long way but the players did not turn up. pep dropped a bollock in gundogan on his own and covering the back 2, so when the wing backs pushed up the 2 centre backs normal spread out wide, also having KDB picking up the ball from the keeper and defending is a shocker we looked a patched up team

its not that is it ?
its when you know your a better team and have so many chances and the other team goes up field and scores and you lose ? you think how the fuck did we lose or why did we lose, this city team on its day can win every game they play ? but this city can also play and look like we are never going to score with the same players (this is manchester city)
