Arsenal (H) - FA Cup | Post Match Thread

[daveiw01]

Listening to these 2 alleged ‘pundits’ one rag, one Arsenal you can see why I absolutely detest the media!

You're not alone, believe me!

 

[Weavers run]

And he also showed that we’re under his skin by resting a load of his best players and didn’t fancy going toe-to-toe with us. Proper shit out of it, and that’s a huge thing mentally for us.

If I was Pep tonight I’d be hammering home how they didn’t have the guts to come and play us tonight. Arsenal looked like they didn’t want to be there.

Second half maybe. First half they was comfortable and easily had the better chances, possession very similar, not much in chances on and off target and they had more corners. I agree maybe with Arteta not fancying it, to say they didn’t want to be there is a bit odd though

 

[RayCTID]

Yet we might have created chances and scores them. First half we played as we did and they had 2/3 really good chances and could have easily been ahead? What’s the logic

We would been still out of the game. Arsenal are currently the form side.

 

[I'm Blue]

Last time I checked, we won. And kept a clean sheet.

Tongue in cheek comment.

 

[knuckles]

Not a classic game, both teams were trying not to lose as much as anything, but what a great goal from Ake - and an assist from Jack!

 

[YaYa's Left Peg]

Any win in the cup is a good win and no matter what any media says, it lays down a marker for the prem
Arsenal came to spoil, not to play and I said it last week, Arteta will lose the plot when the pressure builds

I also said a month or so ago, we need to move Stones on
He is our most talented centre half, but he really is made of glass and his injuries are becoming too frequent

That is a completely ridiculous take - you know what let's move our best defender and arguably the best defender in the world out and Dickie thinks we should move him on!!! There would be a line that stretched down Alan Turing way to sign him.

 

[OB1]

Kyle and Bernado, have to be in our best side. They brought control and knowhow to the game.

Bernie was on it tonight but hasn't been recently. When he is on it, he has to start.

 

[Blue Til Death]

Captain Black needs to crawl out from his botty and stop being a silly ****.. Pep taught him better than that..!

 

[meeesh]

Arteta is a ****

Soft arse **** to be precise

 

[cheekybids]

So the narrative is Arsenal are not at full strength

I don’t think anyone can really say that is us at full strength either. We still basically have a makeshift defence , Not helped by stones going off

Then the likes of Foden missing who many tout as one of our most talented players generally

Missing from our starting 11 today ……

Ederson
Walker
Dias
LaPorte
Cancelo

There’s an argument that’s our strongest back line when in form, obviously they aren’t atm & they look like they are all getting well deserved rest to find form as they are fucked.

Add to that Bernardo & Foden.

I would say media in talking shit shocker.

 

[Lomas has a lob on]

Best Silva has looked in a while. He’s so important to us, we need 2 quality CMs this summer as he’s most likely off. Gundo and debruyne together leaves Rodri too exposed and neither are too interested in dropping deep to build up play.

 

[burning blue soul]

More chance of him sprouting a fanny and a pair of tits

 

[phargrave]

Wasn’t there a story in the press last week about a private issue ? Totally understandable if so , so Pep, take him out of the firing line , if he’s not ready he’s not ready , it’s mad to say , but at the minute we look better without him

Yup persona issues so I read. But as you say if Pep thinks he’s ok to play who are we to argue

 

[Bluearmy]

Good result, but I can't see us getting 6 points off them in the PL playing like that. But I always have hope.

Agree. They are decent and was only half their first team. 4 points would be a great result…..

 

[HelloCity]

Hopefully United at home in the next round to give us a nice path.

 

[Brewster's millions]

Arteta counting the minutes that Arsenal played with 10 men over 2 games!!!!

The mask slipped when he came out with that stat.

Seems like he has a bit of a complex regarding us.

 

[Bluearmy]

Shocking officiating yet again….

 

[Trojan63]

Not at our best but still came out with the win. Hopefully that lets ours know that Arsenal is human after all

Human ? No doubt they are a good team but let’s not forget who the current champions are and champions should fear nobody

Exactly as I see him, I'm 57 and he still gives me the creeps! Not Arteta, mostly! :P

 

[ford7]

Neither team seemed especially interested in going for it. I have no idea how I managed to stay awake watching this borefest, But a win is a win, right?
