Match Thread Arsenal 5-1 Everton

[Big Fat Sam]

Allardyce has the safest job in football regardless of how humiliating this result turns out to be.

 

[Huyton Layne]

Would be an actual achievement for this shower of c-units to keep it at 3-0

 

[PeregrineT]

Interestingly as bad as this is Arsenal have had 3 really good chances to score, and we have had 3 really good chances to score. One side finished all 3, the other flubbed them all, even 2 one-on-ones with the keeper.

Grinding my teeth at Bolasie here? What even is he?

I’d say he’s finished but he never started.

 

[deipnosophist]

ha ha our starting 11 cost £20m more than Arsenals

Two even squads on paper but Arsenal just seem to have that bit of luck you need to win against technically (and tactically) better teams. Having said that, I still think we might win this

 

[Hogwild]

Only player we have on the pitch who I enjoy watching is Walcott (no offense to Pickford, but who wants to see him get peppered)

You think these rats we have playing for us would actually be trying under a diffrent manager or would they be crap and completly disinterested like they have been under the last four managers! Total bells the lot of them.

As bad as some of them have been, I do not blame the players for this so much as the last two managers.

Take Williams for example. Largely jarg for most of last season, totally jarg for most of this except when Holgate played alongside him and he wasn't getting burned so often for pace. For five or six games in a row, defensively we looked a lot better. Then one bad game and Holgate gets binned, and we have been largely terrible since. Or take Davies - great last season, less good this but in every game he has played he has been better than Schneiderlin has been... yet its Davies who keeps getting dropped.

At some point players and staff have to lose confidence when the leader is making stupid mistakes like this without any indication that they will turn things around.

The quick passing toand fro between jj Kenny and Keane was hard to watch

 

[Dogs_of_War]

Swerve this. I’m getting on the ale.

 

[CahillsCornerFlag]

Be arsed even watching this.

And the bumbling oaf told the whole world at his presser yesterday what his line-up and approach was going to be. Wenger must have been rubbing his hands in glee and picked his team accordingly. What a tool.

 

[Milkman]

How come the same reoccurring theme is happening under Ronk, Rhino and now BFS then?

NONE of Big Sam's previous sides were this bad.

It's the players. They're dross.

Sorry mate, other than Schneiderlin, I disagree. You play three in centre mid against Arsenal or this happens.

 

[buededw1]

People in here still think he' doing a good job

i defended him, and today is the last time i do it

 

[Barnfred 55]

Have a word with yourself mate

What do you mean mate?

 

[Saint Domingo]

Gueye is complete dross.
