Why does he not play Phil.

Phil is I think our second highest scorer in the league this season. Whys he not playing.

Mahrez and Grealish offer zero goal threat. Mahrez a shadow of last season.

Front three should be

Alvarez Haaland Foden.

Mahrez has been dog wank since the start of last year. He has to go in the summer and I’m starting to think the same about Grealish. I want wingers who scare the shit out of full backs, neither of them do that.

Horrible game. Everton knew exactly how they wanted to play, in our faces from the first second. Disrupted the game, fouled, wasted time and the referee was almost as shocking as last game. We should expect this though and never looked like scoring a shed load. Still a lot of games to play but that one was pretty bloody crap.
Team looked like they needed freshened up albeit the subs didn’t make much difference. I’m afraid I’m not a huge fan of the Ajanji Stones partnership. They seemed not to know each other’s position for their goal. Stones left Gray to move inside, Akanji moved outside to cover the overlap. Gray was left on his sweet lonesome.
Arsenal don’t have an easy game. Come on Brighton!!!!

@geek24601 says league is done. We should send all the players on vacation and try again next year. What’s the point since it’s over in January.

He is NOT a City fan

Any ex blue grace fat frank had is gone.

even Colin Wanker wouldn't stoop to the levels of cuntishness tactically.

put that with the lump of shite Andy Madley and that game was completely spoiled as a speticle.

 

[dickie davies]

As shite as all the players were, really that rests in the hands of Guardiola for not sorting it out an awful lot sooner

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

praise the lord

Pretty accurate tbf

 

[Chipmeister]

No cos that would risk a transition…

Like the transition that cost us the goal, just think we are predictable at times for opposition to set up deep knowing everything is in front of them

Disappointing obviously. Silva gets lots of praise on here but he has been anonymous this season and has already mentally left the building. Running around a lot shouting and getting himself booked seems to be his main strength this season.
Not sure why Laporte and Walker are not starting?
KDB miles off today.
Their first shot and they score, desperately poor defending from us, the guy falls over and still has all the time in the world to get back up and pick his shot.
At least we didn't lose.
5 points dropped at home to the likes of Brentford & Everton is not title winning form. Next month of games could see us well off the top unless we start playing better.

I need to reflect a bit before a major assessment but yes the standard displayed today is well below the required level. The last 3 home games have followed a similar pattern with us scrambling around towards the end seeking a goal. Away form is perhaps a shade better with tests coming up against Chelsea and the rags. Margin for error is thin now particularly if Arsenal win tonight.

Tactics all wrong today imho. We didn’t need an inverted full back - we needed to get round the back of them. Lewis was outstanding, but he gets the ball in positions we want Kev on the ball in games like this. Kev was utterly wank but he was standing around wide on the half way line most the game. Not really where we want him. Cancelo should have played obviously. Fuckin all creativity with Kev not on the ball and Gundo, Phil and cancelo sitting on their arses. We’re going to win fuck all with John and ake trying to create. Not the end of the world but we could really do with Arsenal imploding soon

 

[Scottyboi]

We're a slow team, badly needs to change can't get away with playing Mahrez and Grealish together there is fuck all on the break. Kev hasn't got the runners to play in and Bernie just doesn't carry a threat at the minute.

Fullbacks aren't over lapping either due to team selection and tactics. All just becomes very slow and predictable.

Look at the speed in which Arsenal attack its night and day atm.
