Arsenal (H) | Post-Match Thread

[Brightwell Bros.]

That was the worst performance I've seen from a "big team" in some time.

Lots of positives for City. Jesus looks very motivated, Gundogan controlled the middle, Grealish is settling. A performance that makes some of the people calling for Pep's or the board's heads over Kane/Ronaldo look silly given how strong our recruitment has been over the years.

Good win. Really impressed with Cancelo today.

No9 for the season.

Are arsenal the word side to visit in the last 5 years?

Never mind the gap, Arsenal need to mind the trap door. What a poor performance that was.

 

[Withnail]

Excellent team performance, with Gundo, Cancelo and Torres all very impressive. Ferran's movement is very good and he gets into some great positions and he deserved his 2 goals today. Bernardo again showed why we can't sell him.

Just watched Arteta post match interview... what a deluded muppet he is.
He'll never be a top coach. Living off the back of being Pep's assistant.

It was the sad unraveling of a once great footballing mind.

They were bobbins. Shockingly bad

wow just wow
how did Arsenal become this crap? i swear i wouldn't be surprised if the team fielding this squad was named Stoke City. most lower league teams give us a better game in the cups. don't even know how to rate this performance, as the opposition had no semblance of defence whatsoever. guess it's nice for Torres to bloody his teeth early if he is to be our striker.

Brilliant win after a very slow start. I get why Pep got pissed off. When we started dominating the match & went 2-0 up, the whole team started walking football again, & a load of sloppy passes started to creep in. Ederson & Walker were particularly culpable, but this was more down to mentality than form.

After the sending off & the halftime break, we settled well & started playing some decent football, with some very sublime moments too.

I thought Torres & Jesus were brilliant, as were Gundog & Silva in particular. We MUST keep hold of Silva & Laporté. I honestly believe if both are properly involved & given a fair crack of the whip, they'll hopefully change their mind & stay, as they've both proved they're badly needed.

Finally, in Torres there's a decent instinctive striker in there. With Jesus seemingly happier on the wing, perhaps both players swapping positions will be bigger for us than any striker signing we could make.

Pep said he doubts we'll be making a striker signing, but once the window shuts, we'll have no choice but to go with what we have... Onwards & Upwards. )(

 

[Gabriel]

No9 for the season.

I thought he looked comfortable and aggressive on both flanks, and that surging run late on was impressive. The miss was a pity but it compensated somewhat for him not blazing high, wide, and handsome from outside the box, which is his weekly party piece.

 

[SamTheGuru]

The sad thing in all of these is we now have to wait two fucking weeks due to everyone's favourite part of the season. International break!

 

[stonerblue]

You've had your day out, now fuck off home...

 

[LesBleuMiserable]

Can't understand why he didn't bring palmer on instead of mahrez to be honest ,mahrez will play loads of games

May piss of senior players if in flagship games juniors get nod before them

 

[jimharri]

Watford. We always muller watford

Fair point. But, on current form, I'd still opt for Arsenal.

He gets there in and around the box. Proper centre forwards goal with his head when waiting to get clattered off goalie. Very sharp as well on the deck.

Thank you Ferran £25 double nice end to a shit week

Cant change that team if fit when they return, Arsenal offered absalute 0 fucking shocking outfit Xaka waste of skin Arsenal need to get rid
Gabby is a different machine, Jack another 8 out of 10 & Gundo great performance
Eddy was Arsenal's only threat today :)
Great team performance although Sterling got a little selfish imo

Got to say Laporte looks the business & please don't sell both Laporte & Berny we need them

 

[stonerblue]

for the first time ina long time I completely missed the entire game and although Ive seen the highlights (including the red card - definite sending off - awful attempt at a challenge) I was wondering how we played considering it was Arsenal and 10man Arsenal at that for a big chunk of the game?

Passed em to death.

 

[wolviedinho]

Missed the game. Back with a bang.

Get in blues.

 

[N1985]

Great performance. Nearly teared up walking in the place. Been so long. Gaby has found his place in this team. Riyad looks like a completely different player. Raz is a bit of a worry. Seems to want to force things to happen when all he has to do is slow down and play his natural game. Bernie mint, Dias is a big bastard, Zinchenko is more important to this team than people realise.

Arsenal are wank and in serious trouble.
