Arsenal Post Match Thread.

Some of the people losing trust in Pep unbelievable

Exactly I have 100% faith in pep.
If we get top 3 and win the cup it will be a decent season.
People need to remember it's a 're building season

Arsenal there for the taking low of confidence and ability ... why didnt we smell blood and take it to Chelsea after that wobble......Pep to blame again Im afraid...Its becoming a theme this season just like Klopp

Bit harsh on pep is that, he inherited some players past their sell by date, and, some that were not good enough. Add to that the unfortunate injuries to Gundogan and Jesus, been a bit unlucky too. Be better next season.

Mixed bag again today, get off to a flyer away to Arsenal, a club with a poor recent record, short of confidence and we let them back into it with a shoddy next 25 minutes. It was like we thought we'd done enough...after 4 minutes!...with our dismal defence....not going to happen. Their 1st goal was farcical, we had 4/5 players over the ball from the corner, not a sniff of danger and present them with a tap in.
Not sure what Sterling was on, been mediocre for weeks now...take a look at the other side of the pitch pal at Sane, he is twice the player you are at the moment...strong, pacy, can cross and finish and chases back. Hooked at half time by Pep...ouch....but not surprising.
As for KDB, makes a goal every couple of games then gives the ball away 187 times in between.......doesn't look fit.
Should have buried Arsenal today and sums up our season...so many points dropped in draws, not good enough to hold on for wins, fragile defence and brittle mentality.

This.
We're incapable of winning important games like this.
We've always got the ability to give one or two goals away at any time , Spurs being a perfect example
And today and Monaco.
We can't hold on to a lead.
No leadership on the field.
Not seen anything from the Manager to suggest he is more tactically aware than Uncle P.
Started off well, then reverted to type - passing sideways and backwards and giving possession away cheaply.

And just 1 win vs top 4
Can't win the big games anymore

Should of beaten them easily. Instead we made them look good. Fair result on the day but 2 points dropped

that kind of sums it up perfectly for me.

More to do with the standard of players than the manager - name me a team that Clichy and Navas would get into, at full back?

Not ruthless enough up front and too brittle at the back. Recipe for disaster. Why oh why do we slow the game down tine and time again. There was a few occasions today where if we broke at pace it could have been 4 on 4. But we insist on getting 20 yards out and pass it backwards. So frustrating! Clichy not strong enough for the Walcott goal. And their second was Sunday league. When was the last time a team scored a truly good goal against us. Every time we concede it's down to not applying the basics. It's a comedy.

The manager has to take some blame for the attitude. He's already written off any challenge and
it's the system and the way we play, that seems more important than actual results.
He keeps saying that he's so so happy with his players, surely he can't be THAT happy.
Saying that, there's not a lot he can do until the transfer window opens.

Out of curiosity (and your not the first to have picked up on this), what exactly would you like him to say to the press?

 

[rnblade]

I believe in the manager, BUT, if he can deliver next season, he's going to be called a charlatan living on past glory! Step up Pep, the blues are waiting for your game plan.

 

[Pepup]

Pep has a lot to prove next season, to date he has performed worse than both Bobby and Pellers.
