Arsenal (H) | PL | Post-match Thread

[Asa's left peg]

He should have booked Havertz at the kick off. He has let them get away with stuff and they have took the piss. People should never call Arteta a Pep disciple, he didn't learn all that with us, it's in his nature. Hes a cheat.
He was like that as a player with Everton and Arsenal. He's taken them as far as he can tactically. Still not brave enough to play a centre forward against us, he is beginning to come across as a fraud.
They are a great fit.

Ever since the F.A. Cup Final I guess.

(the one against Newcastle.)

Rags are 11th mate. What's the above got to do with anything.prick.

Diaz should never have that many shots outside the box!

It was a fucking ridiculous tactic we were using

Arsenal player (Lewis-Skelly) receiving a yellow card today before he's made a debut for them in the PL. The Arteta effect.

I'd like to think that if the positions were reversed, and we were 2-1 up and down to 10 men, we'd be more adventurous than those tarquin twats.

But you've got to ask some fundamental questions of Pep and his staff. Do we not practice drills when teams implement a low block? Fortunately the Grealish & Stones subs paid off but all we seemed to do was pass the ball from side to side. When Savinho had the ball in the wide area, there was no one running into the space behind the full back, and he was forced to play it back inside. There's so little creativity when your midfield is Gundogan, Kovacic and Bernardo. Foden should have been on much earlier.

And how come Arsenal appear to have a plan for corners and can execute it, when it's just hit and hope from us?

I seem to remember a few years ago we had a set piece specialist. There was one season with his coaching we scored more goals from corners than any other team. Unfortunately he left the club. He was not replaced, hence we are now shit at converting corners into goals.

Maybe. But I've never seen City play Leyton Orient.

Me neither last time 1963 23 december.

It was frustrating but eventually one of our shots was gonna pay off and so it proved

 

[remember arthur mann]

First rate cnut.

Just saying but a few seasons ago we would have put them to the sword by 4 or 5 once they went to ten men. We had goals all through the team but now it’s the big fella or nowt.
