Arsenal post match thread

[OB1]

A stupid needless defeat. We played into their hands. Sinful.

 

[Mattyc55]

Aguero starting another big game after an injury was an absolute joke of a decision too. We all know how long it takes him to get back into it.. If he's on the bench at 2-1 at least we have the option to throw him on.

Ridiculous management once again.

Could of been so different Kev should of passed to Silva. 1-0 up ! inside 2 mins they score!
1 min of injury time 1st half we have a free kick 30 yards from goal where should it go ?
Short pass lose the ball 2-0 too late

There was no pass to play. Watch it again, the only option was to shoot.

The sad thing is that after we spent +120 Million Pound, we are just 3 points ahead of Crystal Palace and 6 points behind Leicester.

Leicester and Palace are also gonna win the champs league and carling cup

 

[lazerblue]

If peps watched that he must realise he's gonna need 6 or 7 new players to play the kind of football he wants to play

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

Wondering what the sheik thinks.......

He's wondering if he spunks some of his pocket change on Ozil, Sanchez and the welsh lad

 

[Marvin]

Not a bad performance but 17 points in 12 games is not a blip, it's mid to lower table standard for a third of a season . Scary stuff. I wonder if Pep is prepared to take on a club that's not in the Champions League ? Our results against the other team at the top so far this season is pathetic and we have lots more to come.

We somehow need to improve quickly and go on a run. We have the players capable of doing that.

Injuries. A fit Aguero and we'd have won that game. Our fringe players are not good enough. We just have to wait around until Aguero is ready. He's always clicked in the past eventually, so I trust he will do so again.

Mangala will get hammered. He's got it all but he keeps making errors

One bad ball out of defence cost us the game, it wasn't as bad as a lot made out

 

[super_city_si]

Needs to go back to what he knows and play 442. He's proven he hasn't got a clue how to coach any other system. Just go all out attack and hope for the best.

 

[Chippy_boy]

Commentary was like listening to the Arsenal supporters club.

We were OK. I expected us to lose and we did.

Yaya was absolutely fucking terrible apart from about 10 minutes. Can't keep playing with 10 men for 80 minutes.

 

[Sky Blue]

Very unlucky considering the wonder strike from Walcott and comical passing from Mangala. On another day we draw that.

Lots of positives, onwards and upwards for me after that 2nd half.

At last some fucking sense on here....

 

[sput the wonder pig]

20 seconds before this and with 55 seconds till half time, we had a free kick that silva and toure played short ! If they put it in the box none of this unfolds .... Crazy short free kick

This picture sums up the shitness we have brought in during the last few windows

This is Delph with a perfect passing option infront of him which allows us to break. I can't comprehend why he played it back to Mangala who couldn't sort out his feet in time which resulted in him trying to pick out the very same player Delph should have simply rolled the ball to. Mangala was shocking, but that is absolutely abysmal from Delph. Zero awareness and composure.

 

[Guyvxt]

LOL jeff shreeves getting a sly dig in there "YAYA you gave it everything right at the end"

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

The betting on the concourse Saturday: Which defender is gonna cock up first? Mangala and Sunderland to score 1/10; Otters and Sunderland to hit the post 4/1; Clichy and Joe to save 10/1, et al!

 

[gangerolv]

Bravo Sterling.

 

[The slaughtered lamb]

There was no pass to play. Watch it again, the only option was to shoot.

spot on.

 

[80s Shorts]

got what we deserved...nothing!

individual and whole team were awful defensively again

having company back will sort some of that but not enough.......

these players don't want to play for this manager any more and it shows and the man himself doesn't seem bothered anymore

Comon Si, at least spell the captains name correctly.

 

[super_city_si]

One bad ball out of defence cost us the game, it wasn't as bad as a lot made out

It was for the middle 35 minutes. We could and shoukd have been 4 down before we rallied.

 

[allblues09]

Aguero was so far off the pace. What does he do in training? He needs to realise his time is running out and every day matters. Wants to be the best player in the world? Then work on it every day, not just match day.
.

That is pretty harsh. He is just back from injury. He needs time to get back to game speed

 

[Dr Jacoby]

In terms of quality, it's the worst Premier League in living memory. To be languishing in third after spending vast amounts of money is simply unacceptable. Too many of our players are either past it (Demichelis, Navas etc.) or were never good enough to begin with (Bony, Mangala, Fernando etc.) and as a consequence we are dropping far too many points in the league.

I'm tempted to say Pellegrini should go but there aren't many better alternatives available. A top four finish and a cup looks to be the most we can realistically achieve this season.
