Arsenal FA Cup SF Post-Match Thread

Look what you've done City, BT are happy again.

Pep has been ruthless in the past at other clubs, now we have the monkey of the ban off our backs he has to do it again.

Where do you start?

García did OK. His

Complacency kills - on the pitch, in the dugout and in the boardroom. And we have been complacent in all areas since walking off the pitch at Brighton last May. Not ruthless enough in either penalty area and not ruthless enough in replacing good servants of previous seasons who are no longer up to scratch
Can’t afford to waste this transfer window like we have done the previous three

Maybe the ruthlessness should extend to Pep.

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

Surely it's more than that -

Norwich (a), Wolves (h), Liverpool (a), Spurs (a), United (a), Chelsea (a), Arsenal (FA Cup), United (h LC).

I have it as 8.

Agreed. This only works if he is renewing, as we need to buy for the future and have some stability.

Remember Bernardo Silva?

Something going on behind the scenes? Incredible the decline in a player such as Bernardo. He was immense the last two seasons.

We can beat any team in the competition on our day!
Wouldn’t say will will, but we have a chance

Do you seriously think UEFA would allow it to happen?

It isn’t just one Isolated game though. This is a pattern now, we where lucky to hold on against Bournemouth. The definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over and expect different results!

Against Bournemouth was a completely different set of circumstances. It was all about avoiding injuries and expending minimum energy.
If you’re calling to sack a manager of Pep’s quality based on today or Southampton you need to give your head a wobble.
Mendy and Walker were at fault for the goals today. You can’t blame the manager.Too many of our key players were not at it today. It can happen and again you can’t blame Pep for that either.

At least Pep has called it for what it was, shit.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Based on tonight’s performance, we need at least 12 new players in the upcoming transfer window.
