As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.
Its modern football, but if you dive in off your feet and take a player out you are going to get penalised irrespective of whether you got the ball or not. Sissoko did the same yesterday for the scum when he took out Madison. He got the ball but levelled the Leicester man.
It's dire. Team selection is fucking puzzling. Yet again Xhaka plays, someone said our defence will be the ending of Emery, I disagree, his persistent picking of Xhaka will be enough. Emery is fucking shit, his decision making is appalling, just as bad as Wengers, just in a different way. Every time Xhaka plays we play with 10 men. The central midfield HAS to be Torreira and Doozy. There is nothing that can be done with this defence, it's not capable. All four of todays defenders need to be sold, none are good enough for a supposed top 6 team. Quite frankly, we are fucked under this muppet of a manager, he is NOT good enough.
We must have some defenders in the under 23's, 17's or maybe 12's
Our back line in the under 12s would probably do a lot better than this lot.
Again, our under 12s midfield would surely do the basics in front of the back 4 too It is often said that you defend from the front, but does this team ? Auba and pepe are putting in minimal effort and their defenders are coasting through the game, our midfielders are standing around doing a lot of pointing but doing no tackling or tracking back.
The type of performance where it appears the players are no longer playing for the manager,
I wonder if they have had enough of him ? Complete lack of urgency and energy.
Wouldn't be surprised if Freddie isn't the caretaker manager by christmas.
That's the thought I had for the first 20 minutes too, and if that is the case, it sums up the mentality of these weak arrogant tossers playing for us I dont give a flying fcuk whether they like or rate emery cos the reality is that they are playing for us and the club - when they stop putting in the effort for whatever reason, it is us and the club that they are punishing more than the manager.
I am seriously beginning to despise some of these w.ankers
Who in gods name suggested that terry Gibson is qualified to be a pundit ? He saying that the sending off was correct and it could have been a straight red
