Fair point. I was being slightly facetious, but at this stage, some entertainment would be nearly as valuable as the 3 points rather than watching our team pass to the opposition half the time like they did in the first half.
Only about half the team have kept the ball with their passes. So poor. Kulu (who I rate) has given the ball away nearly every time he's had it, Bissouma has been really sloppy. The only positive is that surely we can't be worse in the second half...
He's been put there because he's left footed, but he's not fast enough to beat a man, and usually his hold up involves him driving inside. He can't do that on the left so ends up driving backwards and (today) losing the ball!
Would love to see the passing accuracy of our players at half time. So unbelievably sloppy and if Ange wants us to play this way, we can't afford to be so sloppy on the ball. Simple passes missing targets, taking the wrong options and attempting a Hollywood pass when there is no need.
Still...
They've spent the best part of a billion pounds across 3 windows. I wouldn't say it's concerning at all except for them spending that much money and not even getting top 4.
Fuck Arsenal. They played with 12 men against us at home. They deserve no favours. If the PL is fair they need to give city a few undeserved goals too to even it up.
Obviously there's no evening up for us but our season is done anyway. 1000+ minutes per penalty. Arsenal get one less than...
Agree, and this is also a big reason why we struggle against low blocks. Dribbling past a man is one way of disrupting the shape and organization, and we just don't have this tool readily available.
What bad performances has he had under Ange?
Granted he had some poor games under Conte in particular but he's not designed to play in a low block Counter attack team. He needs to play pass and move football and under Ange he's only been very good. His second half performance against...
I don't understand why lo celso hasn't got a long term future... unless he is refusing a contract. He's a baller and perfectly suited to Ange's style of play.
Bentancur is not the answer at 6 imo. He's an elite 8 but lacks the destroyer ability of an elite 6 from what I've seen. We need an...
That's not concerning. That's positive. He does need to sort the team selection out though. This starting 11 was not it. Udogie out is a problem. Emerson struggled at LB
Bentancur is a top tier player and should be the first name on our midfield team sheet. Not sure what he was doing on the bench today.
If you want to play good pass and move football then lo celso is the best midfield choice to play alongside him. The opponent is not getting the ball off those...
This is true. But who on here would honestly give Ange 5 seasons to achieve that sort of stability. Arteta finished 8th, 8th and 5th before last year when they finally clicked.
Their fans all wanted Arteta out by the end of the 2021/22 season. Look what happened when they stuck with him...
'And if you think the league is a squeaky clean 'fair' competition with no corruption, you need to reconsider your outlook. Inevitably where there's big money, there's corruption.'
In fact if you can openly declare that this league is a fair competition with no VAR gamesmanship, and only the...
They've got the officials in their pockets this season. Or at least at the back end of it. It's either corruption because the powers that be want to manufacture a title race or because Arsenal are in on the corruption imo.
Before you all disagree because you think we should have done better...
Teams have adapted to the way we play but we have looked worse primarily because of injuries and form and because Ange hasn't got all the tools he needs yet.
It's obvious how to set up against us. Play 5 at the back. Park the bus and give us the ball. Counter attack with fast wingers and...
The Saka goal was given to them by the officials not giving us a penalty tbf. We didn't lose the ball there.... It's not a 50/50. It's a pen. He was tripped. Was getting to the ball first and they scored off it.
If anything the problem was he was too honest and tried to stay on his feet which...
