    Premier League 2023/2024

    And everything feel so arbitrary. They might as well be flipping a coin on where they draw the line on things. Thought we saw an excellent example of the VAR room not knowing how to do their job on Chelsea's first goal against us. They were ready to rule out the goal for offside on Cucurella...

    Sounds like a likely scenario. Let's hope he can find his stride again.

    Sure, I get that. The only thing I'd argue against is him not being quick enough for a winger. He will never be a traditional winger, but we've seen it work with his skill set, and I think it's great we can have different types of players. Either way, I don't think it's good for anyone if...

    I think some people need to get real here. We're not going to sell him this summer. We didn't pull the trigger on out buy option until Ange was in and consulted. Deki is even on record saying he was frustrated things didn't get sorted earlier, but that Ange wanted him when he had signed. Deki...

    And then Son finished it off with that last one. Not sure what was happening with all those horrible crosses.

    Apart from your view of Arsenal deliberately conceding possession, we actually seem to be pretty much in agreement. :)

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Yes, but again (more or less back where we started now), not from setting up they way you suggest they did. Ok, so when we gained momentum again and pinned them back after our goal, that was because... we stopped playing aggressively? Either way, you are basically saying when we controlled the...

    When did he become such a coward? Leaves EVERYTHING important to VAR, in every single game.

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    I think you should watch the first half again and see how many times we suffocated them, though. I can't understand what point your are making in the second paragraph. I'm saying we didn't manage to force them back as much in the second half because they made an effort to get more possession...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    It's dangerous thinking to give us credit for pinning back the opposition? No, it's refusing to do it that makes people go nuts and want to lose our manager after a good performance against what is (unfortunately) the most consistent team of the season. We got it to dangerous positions so many...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Well, I think we would both agree our best chances resulted in shots off target (Son's, Romero's etc.) so not sure we could blame our tactics for that. They sat back because we were more aggressive in the first half and forced them to it. And they managed to capitalize on that once, when we...

    Jesus Christ, how can anyone watch that game and not see progress? The set-piece defending is pathetic and it's insane we haven't done anything about it, but my God, that was one of the most unfair results I've seen this season. We completely dominated them, created the best chances (did...

    A decent cup run isn't worth much if you're not winning. Especially if you're not even reaching the final. So it's an easy one for me, at least.

    You added about a decade to that, I believe. Pep's Manchester City side have probably been one of the most complete squads in football history, year after year, so a bit weird to compare with an extreme like that. Klopp's Liverpool would've been a much better comparison, imo. But even Pep have...

    Can't fathom how this can be so hard to understand. And even used as an argument against him.
