We could be 2 up at half time on Wednesday { 4 up on aggregate} yet we will still play like rabbits in headlights at the start of the second half.It's hard to be positive when it's every week. As soon as a team puts a little bit of pressure on us we crumble. We don't have an identity or style of play and look completely lost. It's all too safe and cautious. It's boring to watch, and the club wonder why there's a drop in capacity for midweek Champions League games.
No, because we have all seen goals chalked off for that kind of challenge, we've even seen penalties given for a defender kicking the calf of an attackers leg.Let’s be honest, if they rule that out down the other end, ‘its bent!’
Dumb ass! You really are a top level tactician. What a lad.It was tongue in cheek dumb ass!
Chasing the game we played a midfield of Rodri Nico Bernardo. We bought Foden on 87 minutes and Marmoush on 93. We were shite from the first minute after the HT team talk. We played walking football throughout. We've had awful performances against rags, Bodo and now Spurs. We're on a terrible run of form that now goes back more than a month, and the team is getting worse not better.I am not blaming Pep for that.Was the spineless cunts on the pitch.
Threw it away.
Sick of hearing this knackered shizzI disagree. Also did some defensive stuff. He looks frustrated and is probably knackered.
Sorry Gaz - it wasn't meant to come across as hanging him out.John, but it was not like he bottled the role, this is the young kid who seems to play every game ;-)
you need to ask ? dermot " i can see why they've give it" o'leary will be fucking dreading ref watch tomorrowI'm being fucking gaslit by Sky here. Why aren't they talking about the foul?
I'm pretty sure Pep was having a go at Cherki because he'd just gone down for the second time holding his knee only to say he was fine, and Pep was making the point that every time he does that we go down to 10 for 30 seconds.Ive said this before after the Sunderland game Pep didnt seem to like the flair and tricks the lads were doing.
Today it seemed Pep had another go at Cherki on the sideline.
Could the players be bored of his regimental style, he gets them in at half time and bollocks them for being entertaining and trying things. The players come out second half pissed off.
Just a thought
You’re playing fast and loose with the term elite there lad. Guehi hasn’t competed for the big trophies, Rodri isn’t the player he was 2 years ago, Khus is as raw as it gets and there’s no way Dias makes that classification.I would say Guehi,Rodri, Donna,Khus,Cherki,Dias are elite players. The rest are average or above average. A top coach on top of his game would get better performances. Looking at the Arsenal squad, they’re full of elite players, mentally strong and well coached. We have no chance of the title. That’s three back to back shit away performances.
Which crosses? The fullbacks never went past the halfway line all game and therefore we had no width. Be careful what you wish for. Playing anywhere else, he would be scoring 30 a season. We are ruining himCrosses came in - he's just out muscled or too slow to react to them. He doesn't even look that interested or committed to the team cause. His body language is terrible.
Not sure how being constantly negative is ever going to help!@willcap

You absolute bellend pmsl.
Don't think you'll be on here much longer.
See ya nobhead.
It’s Dax, should have had your username.Dumb ass! You really are a top level tactician. What a lad.
he did it when he arrived with square pegs in round holes to suit his system… Madness that any manager wouldn’t play to his strengths (the players)We’re better than Arsenal man for man. Arteta plays a boring style of football to get the maximum from his side which is why they’ll win the league this season.
We’re in denial about the football we play and seem unable to accept we’re equally as boring as Arsenal. Yet we play a style that limits our best players.
