Monaco - Post Match thread.

To add to my previous post, what is also becoming apparent is a lack of physical balance in the squad.
 
no complaints about that game. we were dogshit and monaco were very good, very frustrating but its been the story of our season. one thing that did jump out at me on twitter was someone that said we are currently playing with the 2 fullbacks that wenger had at arsenal 10 years ago. we have not recruited well at all and our defence is an absolute shambles, you're not going to win anything with that back four
 
Don't hold much hope for the rest of the season, can't even see us reaching the final of the fa cup at this rate. Big, big changes needed in the summer window and the sooner some of you accept our situation the better! We have regressed! Fucking fuming
 
The whole lot of them, from Pep down, were a fucking mess 1st half & because of it, we have lost to a side we could have beaten comfortably.

Monaco are fucking good, but they are shite at defending & when we pass the ball, they can't stop us. That's our advantage. So what do we do ? Pass it like wankers. Advantage Monaco.

Second half, all over them. But as is now common in big games, Aguero misses the opportunities to kill the game & the defence falls asleep & concedes yet another run of the mill goal.

This is now the routine & I don't think it will change until the players do.
 
said it in the match thread seems to be a soft underbelly running through this team at times,how can you not be up for a game like that and put in a first half that's shockingly half arsed and looked like stage fright,all the good work of three weeks ago threw away in 45 mins,and it's not sour grapes but look at Leicester with their journeymen players,how is it such a struggle for us,just fucking piss poor ..
 
Defended like a small team first half,no pressing and no tackles,shat ourselves,should have attacked and forced them back
Pep got it wrong,the subs wrong and too late
As for our defending for their last goal pathetic
 
First half was the worst in some time.

Second half much better and we get ourselves back in it, only to throw it all away - fucking criminal.

Some really poor individuals out there tonight. Both fullbacks, Fernandinho and De Bruyne were awful.

De Bruyne's set-plays were preposterous.

Silva unable to get in to it and Sterling looked scared to fucking death of their left fullback.
 
That's 100% down to Pep. Dropping one of the most in form players and playing one of the least. Then with 15 minutes to go we take the lead and he doesn't bring Yaya on for Kev???
 
Stones apart, the defence is shit which we know cannot be corrected until the summer. Best team won over the 2 legs. Time to focus on securing top four and maybe a cup final

We need to improve the results against the better teams. Our record this season has been poor. We have three really tough games now and the dippers will come at is just like Monaco in the first half. We need to be fully prepared for this.
