Manure H Sun 12th Jan KO 3pm FA cup 3rd Round

The truth about Havertz is that he should be a squad player. He has proven he can do lots of things well....but he isn't an out and out centre forward and it's scandalous at a club of our stature that only him and Jesus are our central strikers of choice. Of course we all said it when Nketiah went and prior to that we've let others like Balogun go. Those two brought in the best part of 70m which would have been a decent lump to put down on a top drawer striker but we've decided to monopolise defensive, non scoring midfielders instead

Last summer we went in early for Sesko (the Euros hadn’t even started it was that early in the window) so the need for a striker was obviously deemed top priority by the club, we failed to get him and don’t appear to have had a plan B,C or D option as we exited the window with only the Italian Kieren Tierney and Mong Merino.

A truly catastrophic cluster fuck of a window, up there with the time we only bought helmet head and pissed away the league to Leicester.

A proper number 9 and we’re right in contention in the legaue, in the driving seat of a league cup semi and through to the 4th round of the cup.

Gross fucking negligence

I detest all this “I love my players” SHIT,

It’s like that bald bastard Pep.

Well well Mikel both you and the players you love are spineless loser wankers so fuck off.

Of course he loves them, he bought them. If you bought them and now hate them, it's suddenly on you.

Bang on the money.

[falkirk goon]

Also how the fcuk does a keeper manage to dive the wrong way for ALL 5 penalties ?? Surely by the law of average a keeper would go the right way for at least one of them ? This over-rated dodo may as well have stepped out of the goals altogether

It was like Cech was back in the goals ffs utterly pathetic

[scotgooner]

Havertz is a painfully bad football player , shouldn’t be anywhere near the squad.

But I tell you who is equally bad , marti fucking nelli.

I can’t remember a football player with such great physical abilities but such terrible mental abilities.

He gets the ball … runs runs runs but doesn’t have a clue or any picture in his head what he’s going to do with it, fucking awful football player.

Not just arsenal but in general these days the quality of these guys in the “worlds best league” is shocking. What they get paid disgusts me.

Loves his players. Except Tierney.

Arteta on if he needs an out and out striker: “No, we missed form various ways and different players. I understand guys. I cannot love my players more. I focus very much on the ones that I have.”

I'm delighted to hear that because with the season going down the drain, I'd rather see things absolutely crash and burn than see Arteta find some get out of jail card. This arrogant twat is going to be beyond exposed by the time this season is over.

Pure Wanker 2008-2018 bollox. If you don't think you need a striker then clearly aren't seeing the issues and shouldn't be managing the club.

Totally correct , it was seen as the priority

[Thynker]

To think how much was wasted on Calafiori and Merino.
Just think how that would have impacted our budget for buying a striker.

Honestly, for next season we're looking at

New CDM
New CAM
New winger
New striker
All of these must be top notch players with 3 at least for the first X1

[Thynker]

Our striker today missed two sitters and a penalty.
Just unforgiveable.

Did you hear the great reception the scottish Kieran Tierney got from the fans when he was brought on today ? #justsaying

[TeeCee]

A lot of blame is being aimed at individuals and arguably rightly so BUT.....
Arteta has completely changed the way we play, totally. We were superb in the second half of last season, another winger so we can give Saka a rest and a good striker and we were set. But no, Arteta changes the WHOLE system, we now play a possession/control game, it makes us slow, predictable and boring, He's lost the crowd at the Emirates, the last 2 home games have been like a morgue apart from the away fans, because everyone sees what is going to happen, a whole lot of boring nothing!
When Arsenal attack we often have just 3 players in forward positions, watch Liverpool, they usually have 6 minimum in open play. It's no wonder Ode is struggling, there's no movement, no runs, no attacker, no Saka!! We're now a static team who allows the opposition to sit back and block us out, game after game. Fans see it, that's why there's no atmosphere. This system will fall, badly because there is no way on earth it can work.

Sign a new CDM? Why? We have the second best no.6 in the world, only he's being asked to play as an 8.
Buy Mogodon Merino for what? He wins duels....oh, you mean like Declan Rice, who we paid 105m for does? We play a midfielder as a striker and a misfiring striker as a winger, we often play three defensive midfielders...... This is a mix of Wenger and Graham ..... The bad bits!
It's so clear to see, I seriously wonder if senior management at Arsenal have decided not to risk giving him more money to waste!? Last summer was a fucking disaster. We will not win either of our next 2 games, I think we'll lose one draw one.

[Natural Born Gooner]

Sickening all the Manc fans crawling out of the woodwork to celebrate. They've been totally shite but we give them that crumb of comfort.

Had messages from their cunty fans who I'd thought had given up watching football cos theyre not doing well to give it the big 'un.

Fucking disgraceful
