Arsenal post match thread

Ok, i will just qoute my few posts from the match thread which quickly got lost in a sea of one line replies.


1,

The biggest thing for me with city in recent times, yes the defense has been bad, but more worrying is the complete lack of cohesion and cutting edge in attack.

Decent chances go wasted so many times its unreal, look at the top clubs like bayern, and they create and put away good chances for fun...think how many times city create really good space around the opposition box>???? I mean teh kind of true opening you can get a decent shot off...its barely ever.

Always wide, square, wide, square, back, back forward, wide, square rinse and repeat.

I blame training methods as much as anything personally. This makes more sense when you consider they sometimes have an organised period of the game before mentally dropping off into garbage. Stinks of a lack of intensity and drilling on the training ground.

re yaya(even in spite of him scoring a nice goal and having a good 15 minute spell when everyone was running around the pitch likes crazed animals)...

This is one of the main problems at the moment. At his age and stamina this guy should be playing 30 mins max per game as a sub whilst giving 100%. Instead he still thinks, in his delusional and entitled mind, that he should play every game and give 20%.

Its piss wet lettuce management, and any manager that ponders to this kind of player should not be at any club in the top flight.

This is ironic because just before the game on sky thierry henry did a little piece on pep's tiki taka style. Basically he outlined that pep said his job was to organise the field up until the final 25%. After this in Henry's words it was "up to the attackers".

I'm sat here thinking this would still leave a distinct lack of cutting edge as a real problem even with pep in charge.

Pep's style is not tiki taka.

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

No we weren't you red ****

No need for that you clown.

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

Some credit for not giving up and showing some fight to the end. Second goal by Giroud was a killer just before h-t. Silva looks nowhere near his own self. Magala and Otamendi still look dreadful together. Arsenal worked a lot harder without the ball than we did. Aguero needs to be an impact sub for next two games at least until he's ready to start

We need 2 centre halves and when they are fit keep fucking playing them. How many times has Otemendi and Mangala played together? Oh and Silva Yaya and Aguero were anonymous (Yaya had a great last 14 mins). MOTM for me Kolorov

Arsenal fully deserved the three points, they know it, we know it, everyone knows it. If we had got another goal it still would have been the case. The difference is it would have papered over the cracks, maybe, just maybe this defeat is what we need to get our ar*ses in gear - though I'm not holding my breathe.

No they didnt. we were worthy of a draw at least.

first 30 was decent, last 25 was very attacking. middle 30? fuck me

Ha. Fair description. I think we were unlucky to not score in the first 30 min.
