Nothing we didn't know already. Nothing has changed. No tactical improvement since the end of last season. Prepare for another season of constant passing, balls swung in with nobody there and conceding from the first and second shots the opposition have because Raya is out of position.

ARTETA OUT!


Too Soon!? :rubchin:
Not at all, it is now as it was all last season and before that, he’s clueless and myopic in regards to the players that just don’t have it. Any other manager worth his salt would not have Ohdeargod in the starting 11, we won’t be winning anything and Ohdeargods continued selection will be at the top of the list as to why.

Molksops been not good enough from day one mostly.

He had a half season spell of very good the rest has been meh to utter turd.

Yet somehow he has a reputation as a creative wonder and star. It's Aaron Ramsey syndrome again

Half a season was very good scoring freely. Rest was crap yet it gained him a reputation as a some sort of key player.

Symptom of our moronic fanbase sadly

It’s quite refreshing to have a goalkeeper dive for the ball during a penalty, rather than after it’s hit the back of the net.

If Pepe had ever played for the Chavs, we'd give him a four year deal by midnight tonight.

All joking aside, we all know pre-season games are not about the results, BUT what we have seen throughout this pre-season is a continuation of last season - dominate possession early doors and then concede from a counter attack, and not have enough creativity to turn games like that around after going behind. Some players gone, some new players added, but same weaknesses are very apparent to everyone and the cone boy can spout bollox to the media all he wants about how confident this squad is going into the season, but what I see with my own eyes tells me a totally different story and suggests a team that knows it is beaten as soon as they go behind. There are serious tactical issues not being recognised or addressed, and the body language of the players suggests a team not buying the crap he is selling them
