Re: Fulham FP H Sat 26th August KO 3pm
Only one person can be blamed here. Arteta. His ego is costing us and that was what cost us so dearly during the last decade of Wenger's reign: the manager's ego.
At home to ten man relegation fodder and lucky not to lose 2-3. Unacceptable.

And it would have been a loss to their only 3 shots on target for good measure.DB10GOONER wrote: ↑Sat Aug 26, 2023 4:59 pmOnly one person can be blamed here. Arteta. His ego is costing us and that was what cost us so dearly during the last decade of Wenger's reign: the manager's ego.

And while I’d love to just pin the blame on something - Arteta, Havertz, playing non full backs at full back, we’ve kept just 2 clean sheets in our last 13 home league games which leads me to think this is a bigger than just one issue - this is something deep rooted in us.
That’s a fucking awful statistic and from what I’ve seen in our first 2 home games isn’t going to get better any time soon.

Re: Fulham FP H Sat 26th August KO 3pm
We got away with it in the first 2 games but we didn't today Havertz? Wtf is the point of this streak of pish? Remember the time a couple of seasons back when the Swiss fannybulge got injured and we went on a great run..we need something similar to happen here..65 fuckin million we paid for this cockhole 65 fuckiiiing million

These are the last days of Arteta. Believe me he will be gone by Christmas.

You really think that the Kroenkes will sack him after he nearly took us to the title last season ?
Look how long it took to get rid of Wenger. He will stay as long as he wants.

I've done no statistical analysis, but I'd guess that a high press with a slow team leads to lots of goals conceded from counter-attacks.rodders999 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 26, 2023 5:06 pmAnd it would have been a loss to their only 3 shots on target for good measure.DB10GOONER wrote: ↑Sat Aug 26, 2023 4:59 pmOnly one person can be blamed here.

He was the manager yes but we won that FA Cup because Aubamayang was playing for a bumper new contract and Martinez had a purple patch in goal that summer.Kingralph wrote: ↑Sat Aug 26, 2023 4:59 pmI’m pretty certain when I watched the FA Cup final, he was the manager, and picked the team and tactics.Gunner Rob wrote: ↑Sat Aug 26, 2023 4:11 pmWasn’t Artetas team though was it - and we won the FA Cup despite Arteta not because of him
We also won the FA Cup that season as I have pointed out on here before because covid hit just before the quarter finals, at which point we were struggling. It was all lucky circumstances, a bit like the start of last season when we played a load of league games pretty close together due to the World Cup starting in November. Combined with no European football we put a run together. That luck has now run out I think.

I doubt it Bob. It will have to be bottom half of the Prem for that to happen and even then I doubt it. He's their man and he's clever enough to keep them on the line with the old "process" bullshit.
Whatever happens, he'll be in place until season end. If we don't make CL qualification, it will be interesting to see what happens.

Sadly, the new favourite will be as untouchable as Xhaka was.
Bit harsh Perry, I was making the same point.

Re: Fulham FP H Sat 26th August KO 3pm
1 nil down 2-1 up and I was buzzing. Then pop the whole weekend got deflated.
If Fulham had sprayed 4 passes around us before someone pinged it into the top corner it would have been gutting but at least easier to accept.
But to fucking pass them the ball for their second as we did for their first is soul destroying. The non existent marking at the corner compounds the shitness.
I’m 4 cans in now and feeling a small bit better, let’s see what tomorrow brings.
