Match Thread Arsenal @ home 12:45 Sat.

[banno]

We have some massively overrated players. Stones, McCarthy, Barkley, Cleverley. Even Coleman to an extent.

I have to agree. Each one of those players have glaring weaknesses. Age is on the side of Stones and Barkley though but not one of them is a complete player as of yet and some of them never will be.

At this moment in time no, because it buys the fraud another season. Keep performing like this and we lose our best players so we wait another two decades for success.

The manager has to go and I don't want any excuse for him to stay, no matter how distasteful.

So you don't want us to win the FA Cup (and going into Europe again) because you think that would mean us playing like this with Martinez and losing our players....etc etc ??? Ok . As if the new investor wont be keeping a beady eye on the situation too then also. Ohhhh riight. He'll be out on his arse if this continues without the cup...don't worry yourself.
We were appalling today... passing atrocious...lazy strolling midfield...creativity a blank...no structure defence. I still want the Cup though.

We must be the only team where two players take a corner !

And neither actually manage a cross

We were bossed by a better team. It will take us a few years to reach Arsenals level of sexy football. Understandably considering the cost of Arsenals team to ours.

Can see where your coming from banno, but that starting 11 for Arsenal today was no better than our starting 11, but as you say they 'bossed' us.

 

[Khalekan]

I wasn't even angry watching that shambles.

Just indifferent......turning to mirth near the end.

Sad days indeed.

Honestly what the hell is the thinking there? I'v seen it all now. I'd be saying ' beat it I'm taking it ya nob'

 

[harry]

That was awful, to be out mucled by arsenal is poor. I can only remember 2 shots on target. 4 league home wins with three to go isn't good enough.

 

[BernieWright13]

It's wasn't a boring performance.....it was embarrassing

And one which came as no surprise

 

[Norwegian Cow]

No offence but that sounds like the tripe kopites come out with to make themselves feel better about being [Poor language removed].

Very few off days? Dominating almost all games? You're having a laugh.

If you can't see that we have been dominating almost all games this season, then you can't have watched many games this season.
This is not where our problem lies. The Problem has been poor defending.

I think today our problems were laid out bare for all to see.
I was the same.

Don't get me wrong mate I would love to win the cup, but there are already rumours certain players aren't happy with the snake oil salesmans lies. Winning a trophy now is short term gain, but if keeping him means we lose key players then I would take the hit now.

Don't listen to me mate, I'm in rant mode...

 

[markmarkmark]

WE CLEARLY WERENT ARSED.

priorities ELSWHERE

So? I don't want Everton to finish in the bottom half !

I think they are much better barring a couple of players. They are a team that have Ozil, Sanchez in midfield that make a massive difference. If they have space they exploit teams. We have an in and out of form Ross and its his form that dictates how involved Rom becomes. Cleverly doesn't cut it and McCarthy isn't as good on the ball. We must now seek a McCarthy/Ross mix type of player

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Does anyone know if Besic coming off was tactical (no laughing at the back!) or an injury?
