That was as bad as anything I have seen under any manager for us. After Kolasinac and Mkhitaryan butchered that easy chance between them after 90 seconds, it was persistently downhill without any redeeming features.
Difficult to put into words how dreadful BATE are. Really had to go some way to concede against that lot.
We could have played until next Thursday and we still wouldn’t have scored. Their CBs were unbelievably comfortable and their keeper could have taken his gloves off after 90 seconds.
There was no fight, no sense of urgency and the subs were made (unusually) too late and without any change to the shape or tempo.
Lacazette’s red card summed it up.

Its not an excuse but i wonder if the Ozil situation is causing problems behind the scenes in the dressing room, i know from a friend who is a massive PSG fan that there were problems in the dressing room there whilst UE was manager

Completely understandable now tbh. Absolutely turgid shit from Emery the last month or so.IW8Goalmachine wrote: ↑Thu Feb 14, 2019 7:41 pmstarting to feel that way myself toobegeegs wrote: ↑Thu Feb 14, 2019 7:39 pmI am slowly moving in this direction as well.

Starting to have serious reservations about the manager. I cannot for the life of me see what the fuck he is trying to do. We are shambolic.
I'd still wait till the end of next season before making a decision on his future.

Possibly, although that said I don’t think Ozil has many allies in the dressing room. Hardly like taking on Neymar.GoonerMuzz wrote: ↑Thu Feb 14, 2019 7:50 pmIts not an excuse but i wonder if the Ozil situation is causing problems behind the scenes in the dressing room, i know from a friend who is a massive PSG fan that there were problems in the dressing room there whilst UE was manager

Seriously? Are you trying to blame that on a player that wasn't even on the bench? !GoonerMuzz wrote: ↑Thu Feb 14, 2019 7:50 pmIts not an excuse but i wonder if the Ozil situation is causing problems behind the scenes in the dressing room, i know from a friend who is a massive PSG fan that there were problems in the dressing room there whilst UE was manager
Only fucking with ya. I read that Ozil is very popular with the other players so who knows maybe there is a problem. But I think our main problem is too many shit players.

Very true but earlier in the season there were hints with Laca's reaction to being subbed regularly it might not just be Ozil, its a strange one because any time you see things from training it all looks ok and everyone seems smiling and happy. Maybe its cumulative, Ozil, Ramsey situation, results injuries etc all adding to tensionnorthbank123 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 14, 2019 7:52 pmPossibly, although that said I don’t think Ozil has many allies in the dressing room.

By all accounts he's Mr popular. One of the reporters on Sunday Supplement a few weeks ago commented that he heard the players weren't happy with the way Ozil was being dropped.northbank123 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 14, 2019 7:52 pmPossibly, although that said I don’t think Ozil has many allies in the dressing room.

Btw how many games will Lacazette miss for the straight red card? Just the next match or both legs in the next round as well?
Re: BATE Borisov A Europa Lge Round of 32 Thu 14th ko 1755
Well that was utter shite... yet again. It's worrying how poor we are but we'll surely still get through easily enough at the Emirates.
Oh well, only positive news it there's still time this evening to watch a movie before bed

The difference was that Neymar was actually playing amazing and Ozil.....well too bad we couldn't play Leicester every week.northbank123 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 14, 2019 7:52 pmPossibly, although that said I don’t think Ozil has many allies in the dressing room.

From twatter -
Arsenal have won just two of their last nine away games in all competitions - against League One Blackpool and virtually relegated Huddersfield who hadn't scored for nearly 10 hours before netting against us - Won 2 Drawn 2 Lost 5
Unai Emery....we’ve got our Wenger back.

Definetely this. UE is lowkey pissimg me off because him being stubborn is costing us results we should win comfortably. Whatever beef you have sort it out but don’t hurt the team ffs.GoonerMuzz wrote: ↑Thu Feb 14, 2019 7:50 pmIts not an excuse but i wonder if the Ozil situation is causing problems behind the scenes in the dressing room, i know from a friend who is a massive PSG fan that there were problems in the dressing room there whilst UE was manager
Bate are shite and we still couldn’t get any threat going on for us. It’s ‘only’ 1-0 but we should’ve won 2-0 or 3-0 (not on balance of play but by the fact that it’s fucking Arsenal vs Bate).
Now we are having to go back to London potentially with 9 players from Bate behind the ball for 90 minutes at the Emirates. Dreadful shit.
