Well done Graham Souness. A voice of sense and reason on a rag infested tv station.

What's he said ?

Really surprised by some of the comments today. I thought we were much better than them today, but we lost. Shit happens, Play that 10 times and we'd win 7 or 8 of them.

They defended well, but created little. By and large, we controlled the game.

Agreed.

Milner was filling in at left wing!!!

Filling in? He usually plays at left wing under MP

That only started this season. Milner was brilliant in the second half of last season when MP started Milner on the left ahead of Navas. I don't know why MP feels the need to force Navas into the first team.

Last season he played on the left too. I distinctively remember he played left midfield against bayern in the 3-2 win. His best game for us imo

Are we really going to go the Wenger way ? You know he made a similar comment right after they lost to the rags.

Oh well it was gonna happen one day where arsenal would win one and today was the day. We move on and look to now win against Maureen.

Thank you! A sensible response. Sometimes we will just not turn up. The other team (and Arsenal are no mugs) will have a set plan and today it came off just like it did for Chelsea last year).

They scored from a penalty and a set piece and were totally reliant on the break. It wasnt our day as the first 20 minutes of the 2nd half proved. On another day those balls into the area would have come to our players and be netted.

Bad day at the office. Aguero and Kompany obviously not up to speed after bad injuries.

Chelsea have also been extremely lucky with injuries so far. It could all change even if they beat us next.

Europe and the League Cup semis with Liverpool could change things.

If we have ever learned anything about the last 2 title wins it is 'is ain't over until it's over!'

And both times we were probably having roughly the same debate after one defeat oe another.

I expected that kind of performance from us due to the lack of fitness of key players and missing two thirds of our creativity.

It has been a frustrating season as we have struggled to get any consistency and fluency in our play due to injuries. It's affected our defence, midfield and attack. I remain confident that once we get Yaya back, a couple of strikers fully fit and Kompany with games under his belt, we will be firing on all cylinders. No other top team would be in our league position if they had suffered injuries to key players like we have. In my opinion, we have done okay, all things considered. We just have to keep fighting and get throufh this difficult patch. Based on the reslience of the team, I am confident they will.

Money could have been spent on Fabregas or Sanchez

I dont care if i get called a rag, Mangala isn't a 35M CB...no way. He isn't as good as Varane, Laporte or Marquinhos. He was also playing in a shit league.

It s obvious that it s a wrong transfer...35m and he was on the bench same story with Dinho ...30something m and he was subtituded by Lampard

Wtf are you talking about!????? Fernandino is a fantastic player.

Yeah he's good. Had a bad game today and all of a sudden he's shite. These are the same people that will lick his arse come two weeks time. As for mangala he's been shite this season but he can only get better. think the price tag didn't help as it might have put pressure on him. Once again they'll be licking his arse next season.

Rather than give shit to our players, back them up ffs...

 

[razman]

Ahh well... We normally get back up and go onward... Hope we really get back at it

To be a great team - you have to be a complete team in my opinion and we are NOT.

Our wing play and crossing has to be the worst I've ever seen in my life.

We are no threat from corners/set pieces because of that. Our crosses in general stink. Navas on one side and Clichy on the other - OMG that is tough to watch.

Wonders if money on another striker (Bony) was well spent - when our dire need is ANYONE who can give us width....EFFECTIVELY.

Watching our tries to cross the ball makes me physically ill.

Until we fix our wing play (and back 4) - we will not be complete....nor great.

This. Milner or Navas should make way for De Bruyne in this very window.Both are always better players off the bench.
