Arsenal FA Cup SF Post-Match Thread

[Out on blue 6]

Was a poor performance with a lack of real urgency. What it proved once again against a packed defence our most irreplaceable player is Kun Aguero. He's playing we would have scored at some point. That needs addressing for next season

Hope we don’t have to play arsenal again any time soon
Then new athletico
What a side

Got what we deserved. Arsenal defended well and gave us nothing. Never looked like creating anything.
We will have to improve a lot to get passed Madrid but just can’t see it happening.

Tactically brilliant by Arteta. High press rattled us first half and no energy in midfield. Second half they defended the box let us have it wide, killed the space for David and KDB resulting in endless pointless chipped in balls.

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Very poor. Don't think a single player can hold their head high after that performance.

We've run out of ideas and just cross,cross,cross to a non-existent target man so often this season.

A tall striker who can head a ball would have a field day.

Everyone focuses on our defence but there’s no area of the pitch that doesn’t need heavy investment.

The worry this season is you can tell after 10-15 its going to be one of those performances and the players or Pep can't do antthing different.

I personally don't think we have a prayer of winning the CL

Exactly, these performances are too frequent so we'll get one in the champs league and be straight out.

The footballing IQ on our left with Mendy and sterling makes Joey Essex look like Elon Musk.

 

[Ban-jani]

don’t agree on the huge clear out. We are more then good enough. It’s the defence that needs changing the most.

we need a left back, centre back and someone to replace fern. Other then that we are fine.

ederson, laporte, Walker, De Bruyne, Sterling, aguero, Jesus, mahrez, foden is a great spine to any side

We need a striker.

Aguero is old as dust and Jesus is a soft ****

Well off the pace and deserved everything we got.

I don't know why but after Arsenal beating Liverpool midweek I half expected this.

Goodluck to Arsenal and Arteta in the final.
