We are about to be stuffed 5-0 here but don't worry we'll take it lying down like the spineless twats we are.

This is what you get when you appoint a novice manager and let him strip the squad to the bare minimum and you end up with players playing out of position all over the park. :roll:

Oh well, the TV companies have got what they wanted. Arsenal getting cheating as usual and their "grandstand" end of season. It's making the chumps league and Spain look honest.

Holding shit his pants as soon as they kicked off and his answer was to keep fouling Son who of course played to it. Honestly, our players are so fucking brain dead it's a joke.

We'd probably be better off in Europa League anyway for young player development

It's textbook old fashioned ref corruption. Book the centre back early and then find any reason to send him off early. It's like an embarrassing old European game from 35 years ago.

Sorry lads - emotions might be high, but that was two yellows for Holding

Brain dead. Had 2 prior warnings and does that to the biggest cheat in football

Cedric was a prat too

Where's the captain? Where's the leader taking the rash defender to one side? Where's the calming words from the sideline?

None. Because there isn't anyone to do any of that

Seeing the replays there it's a red all day long, awful awful challenge, yet again he played the player after being warned AND booked. Holding melted completely under the pressure.

Okay so if Holding's first 'knee' was a yellow what the fuck was that on Odegaard!!!?

Then Pot Poodle putting his arm on the ref and smooozing around him!


WHAT THE FUCK - UTTER CORRUPTION
Totally correct
All irrelevant now though as they are 2-0 up and it’s game over

Just a thought though - - apart from the referee decisions I think we have played well.
If this ref had been in charge at Anfield 89 …
Well… that wouldn’t have happened

As Dixon just pointed out....young team, inexperienced manager, no leaders and everybody is looking at each other for answers.

What makes it worse is you have a vastly experienced international player like Xhaka and instead of leading at times like this, he hides. There are no leaders.

And continue to play only youth accompanied by a dick like Clive

Youngsters like Martinelli the best out there. Let down by total lack of leadership

Oh dear, this is not going well at all.

The thing is beating Arsenal for them is like winning the league.

Losing to them for us is just annoying but no big deal.

But instead of keeping players in position he’s changing 2 players for the sake of it,amateur as fuck,keep Tomi right back where he plays and fit someone left back,don’t change both for the sake of it,
This game is over,these melts will fall apart now,self harm as usual
