Arsenal FA Cup SF Post-Match Thread

[argyle]

And what the fuck does Mendy do?? His only positive attribute was his crossing. When was the last time he got an assist?. 50 million pounds lmao

At times he looked like he was crossing to the other corner flag.

 

[LesBleuMiserable]

I'm so fucking angry. Such a winnable game, we fucking beat these 3-0 twice this season. A good chance of a trophy fucking thrown away by a shit performance.

We need more energy, more drive. And a proper centre back partner for Laporte. And a better midfielder than Gundogan.

Really fucked off tonight. Fucking shit.

summed it up for me, i now fear the worst again Real!

 

[Mr HJ]

Looked like rotation has cost us - so many games in quick succession has mean't some players like Kev, Bernardo & Phil have lost their rhythm - hoping this was a wake up call for the CL because they played as if they were already on the beach.

 

[kingdoneg]

WTF is it about us not even making any attempt to have a shot on goal unless we can walk it into the net? Or else waiting until their defence lines up across the pitch. Has Pep told our players not to shoot on sight? Or that we have to touch the ball at least 10 times before we can take a sh

As Madame de Stael once said - "One must choose in life between boredom and suffering."

Summed up that match tbh. Hopefully we play much much better against Madrid.

 

[Bovril]

Said it 18 Month's ago, we need a Lewondowski, love Gabby but if we are putting crosses in he cannot do it.

 

[manimanc]

Ah well nevermind.

Arsenal deserved it, took their chances, defended for their lives.

Us? Poor, dithering, kdb radar off, when your centre half has the best effort you know it isn't your day.

Gutted as I love the fa cup but isn't to be this year.

 

[Marvin]

Thought we were OK 2nd half but we had a terrible spell in the 1st half and really could have been 2-0 down at half-time.

Arsenal defended very well, and we came close but just couldn't get the breaks in front of goal.

Playing Gundog and David Silva together is a pet hate of mine. Zero energy, and in games like this that's vital. I hope we don't make the same mistake against Real Madrid.

 

[kdbrise]

We miss Aguero in time like this, scores a clutch goal. We had similar game against Southampton in November, but we came back in that.

 

[DMA's]

I started a thread but it was removed for some reason but for me the narrative has to change.

sick of hearing will pep extend every press conference.

Wih our squad a return of the league cup is simply not good enough, we have lost 9 games in the prem as well as losing to a very poor arsenal side at wembley.

he has done wonders last 2 seasons But on current form pep does not deserve a contract extension,

stop acting like he is doing us a favour by managing us !

 

[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

 

[ctid83]

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

 

[plattlanebenches]

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.

 

[bert38]

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.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

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

 

[Fordyboy46]

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.

 

[baggy]

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 ****

 

[slick]

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.
