Arsenal FA Cup SF Post-Match Thread

[Worksop Blue]

If we are just going to lump it in to the box PLEASE can we have a striker with a good first touch, height and can head a ball? Surely they exist?

Rumbled yet again we would not have scored if we were playing to a week on wednesday.Arsenal packed out their defensive third so we were unable to play through them,our plan b if that is what you call it was to give mendy the ball and his woeful chipped crosses were headed out by luiz time and time again(we made him look world class).To be fair no one played well and pep has a lot to do next season or else we will still be miles away also he doesnt come out of it smelling of roses with team selection.Dissapointed but take nothing away from Arteta and Arsenal they did a job on us,We are too easy to play against when the opposition packs out their defense and has a bit of pace up top

In the last two games, I've seen us 3 v 3 and 4 v 4 on four occasions, with plenty space behind the defenders to attack. On each occasion, either Silva, Jesus, Mahrez, or Sterling have decided instead to slow the game down and allow the opponents to regroup. Inexplicable.

And I rather see City go down than witnessing tactics like Arsensl Employed Tonight

RealLy?! No way.

I’m fucked off yes.

4 months for a game that matters and that’s the performance these ****s put in.

Some of them were lazy as well.

I don't agree with you on anything these days but 100% on this.

Think we might benefit from actually having less possession.

We have now lost 6 times this season with Gundogan starting. 6 times.

 

[slick]

I’ve never seen him give the ball away as much as he has in his last few games but the movement in front of him has been terrible, he’s having to force everything, only silver lining is the rest we’ll get for the CL

Kev was trying to find to many Hollywood passes tonight hence the reason he kept giving the ball away.

I won't knock him though as he's the best player in the league and I wouldn't swap him for anybody.

Utter shite

Got my second highest score while on my Bejeweled game on my mobile phone when "watching" that shite.
I am absolutely sick and tired of teams playing 4-5-1 or 5-5-0 and trying to score on the break. If it works (like tonight), it's a "tactical masterclass" - I call it cowardly.
I remember when we played at their ground under Mancini, and got a 0-0 draw. Did the media call it a masterclass - did they fuck! We were pilloried.

The sooner football ends this season, the better.
Crazyg, pissed off from Woodley. End of match report.
