Arsenal (H) - Post Game Thread

Not good enough that. Having 4 of our starting back 4 and keeper out for three quarters of the game had me fearing the worst but the defence was the only good part of our performance.

Can't win games if you don't score and we can't score if we don't shoot. Created nothing from open play. Foden and kdb were anonymous. Grealish I forgot came on until I saw him slip in our box, doku running down blind alleys was the best it got from an attacking perspective.

Ref was a disgrace, 20 fouls arsenal committed today and not a single booking, that's got to be a record surely? Might not be any glaring mistakes but handing out the appropriate yellows to the many that deserved them, changes the game.

Realistically that's probably the title gone now, 3 points behind the dippers and inferior goal difference, even if we are perfect from now which I doubt, ypu just can't see the dippers slipping up twice.

With only Villa at home left to play. We've still failed to beat any of the top 4 this season. Hard to say we deserve the title when thats the case, its only the dippers and arsenal not being that good enough themselves that's kept us in the running.

Selling Gundogan and Mahrez and not replacing them well has really hurt us when playing against the top side, zero wins against the top 5 says it all, we've gotten away with it against most of the other sides but it's a big issue.

This. We missed the production and leadership of these two and got nothing to replace them. Looking like letting Palmer go was another mistake.

If Arsenal fans are happy with that performance then they should rightly not care a jot what opposition fans think.

But in my opinion that was a very ordinary if disciplined performance against a team that is running out of steam. To not try and win the game is a bit pathetic after talking themselves up.

Nothing about Arsenal today suggested they are potential champions. But they could still win it.

Arsenal fans are happy because they’re closer to the title now than they were this morning.

Just like any fanbase would be.

That’s massively harsh. Arsenal came to kill the game and did it successfully. It was totally on them that it was a bore fest

Reality is our team and bench looks massively weaker than last season.

Can't get ball to Haaland so we need players who can score by themselves. There's no Mahrez but I really don't understand why Bobb wasn't trusted to maybe get a goal here.

Maybe so, he scores a lot of goals, but imo we were a far better football team before he arrived. We've changed our game for the worse to accommodate him, and he plays like a stat padding donkey.
He'll be gone before long so we have to build around Rodri rather than Haaland.

Seriously you should have a look back at your post history one of these days and maybe just ask yourself why you are such a negative twat of a poster. It’s fucking unrelenting.

Not a bad point considering we’re miles off our best this season.
We certainly missed Eddie today, with that high press he’d have found space in behind.
We looked nervy playing out from the back.
We also need to play to Haaland’s strengths more.
Get crosses into the box and when we do the need to be better quality.
Play through balls for him to run onto.
David Silva would get so many assists with Haaland.
It’s either a treble falloff or because of the large change in important personnel, maybe both, but we ain’t at it this season.
I’m just glad we’re still in the running considering how poor we’ve been defensively this season compared to our usual high standards.
We’ll evolve again, we always do.
So I’m not too frustrated as we’re still there.

I'm not celebrating a point at all, I think we really needed the win. But like I say you were so good you pressed off the pitch.

As for yellows come on mate, this is English football, do you want every 50-50 to end up in a yellow? Your lot could of got a couple of yellows they didn't too.

I think allot of the frustration your angry about is because we defended really well, which we did. And City didn't create a good chance outside of that early corner, which on another day may have gone in

I said you defended well. But I am not talking about 50 50’s, you dodged 7 or 8 clear yellows. We dodged one clear one, Bernardo. And why the **** only allowed 2 and 5 mins injury time. For you at your place that was 5 and 11

Didn't win a treble though. Might have done if we had a striker that scored 52 in a season and broke records.

What is "better footall"? What's better than winning the champions league?

He's gone missing in the majority of games this season. He's been stat padding for months. His contribution was about 1% today. That's becoming his standard performance.

Oh do fuck off.

Why do entitled red cartel fans talk out of their arse?

You lot ain't winning Jack shit, we're playing well below our standards whilst yous are at the top of your game.

You're 1 point ahead of us.

Clap clap clap clap.

Next.

Well no team has a right to win things do they? If you were a Man City fan before the take over you'd probably accept and appreciate that because there's nothing wrong with enjoying football and not winning the top honours. There was nothing wrong with supporting City when they didn't win honours, in fact it was honourable. But maybe you're 1 of the new fans who only started supported City because they're the richest team in the world that would win things. That sounds not quite as honourable as the Man City fans who showed in the lower divisions
 
I’m not one to slag off our team usually but I thought today summed up the season. If we had gone for it a bit more who know what would have happened but we seemed scared to do so. Given the magnitude of the game that is one of the most disappointing games I’ve seen us play for a while. Potentially season on the line and we didn’t go for it at all. Liverpool will be feeling very happy tonight. I also think arse missed an opportunity. Weird game. Drop points v Villa and its lights out.

I've had that valve on ignore for years. Still spouting his nonsense then ?
 
AFCAndy said:
You may of been taking the piss but you were also right because Halaand hasn't contributed at all in the last 3 games against us or against Inter and doesn't fit with Pep's total football philosophy. Remember Pep wanted Kane who's a better pure footballer and had to be convinced to take Halaand because he was better long term value. For those reasons I think Alravez has potential to be Pep's number 1 long term or at least in big games

Yea we could have picked up yellow's earlier but you had a fair few fouls that weren't called too. Swing and roundabouts.

Why do you post on here?

Weird as fuck that mate.

If they are happy fair enough but after todays results Liverpool are closer to the title than anyone.

An Arsenal win today would have a really been a step to the title. Don’t think a point does a lot for them.

But hey ho regardless we could not beat them today
