West Ham dirty murdering scum A Sun 21st Mar KO 3pm

[DB10GOONER]

Never mind lads the ever present Xhaka will have a 90% pass completion rate again

No fuck that. You haven't even mentioned his pointing. Bergkamp could not point like this man can.

[Natural Born Gooner]

Ugh, I think I'll give this one a miss. I'm not going to let Xhaktard doing pirouettes to pass backwards and other associated fucktardary to ruin my Sunday!

Some changes are forced on a manager you know!

Arteta just said that Cedric was due to play but he's not quite 100%. OK for the bench if he's needed.

He also intimated at a few other niggles.

Of course changes are forced on Managers, but not multiple players every single match, i believe there was a statistic a month or so back saying it was the first time he had played the same team in consecutive matches, the changes Arteta makes are not enforced in the main but due to his own tinkering as far as i can see

I agree with this...he tries to carry himself like a manager challenging on four different fronts who needs to carefully manage his squad to keep the challenges going. I don't think it's not knowing who his best squad is, rather about relentless tinkering by the genius he thinks he is.

And the point I'm trying to make is that not all decisions are black and white. Believe it or not posters on this forum don't know the absolute truth behind every team change.

agreed Clummo, we are only second guessing...But this does add to inconsistent performances...cant get any momentum going

Yeah it doesn’t help when he makes so many changes that are not enforced.

I have never disliked an Arsenal player more than I do Xhaka....I cannot find one redeeming footballing feature in him.

[rodders999]

Get fucked Partey not even trying

Ummm.... eventually he may leave or retire

There have been unpopular players before but I can't remember somebody so utterly loathed as a player and as an individual.

[goonertux]

A leaderless team playing without a care or consequence in the world. Pick up the pay cheque, get picked next week, sign a contract extension....all overseen by a clueless novice now managing us for the 71st time

This. 100%. No consequences for a shit performance, either for individuals, the team as a whole or the super Coach. It just doesn’t matter any more.

[SteveO 35]

Partey obviously been told he can only expect to be a regular in this team if he slows himself down to Xhaka pace....and he's doing a fine job of it so far

[DB10GOONER]

I wouldn't even qualify that with the word "footballing". Hes a cùnt on every level.

[rodders999]

Did we already play a game this morning? We’re fucking gassed

[Redarmy]

its so bad i could never go to another Arsenal game, for fear of him getting one penny of my money

[SteveO 35]

Getting absolutely rinsed by London's 4th club

So one sided its embarrassing

[LeftfootlegendGooner]

Missed first ten minutes but just in time to see some absolute schoolboy defending.

BTW partey is weal as fuck, I thought he was meant to be some sort of beast, fuckin marshmallow more like it.

I like Chambers but he's nowhere near good enough, is cedric injured.

Leno is shit, a pissed up 20 stone 50 year old Sunday keeper for the pig and whistle would have saved that.

Apart from all that we look in good shape.

At yet again I reiterate how do you know they're not forced on him. Simple answers is that you don't.
