Match Thread Arsenal @ home 12:45 Sat.

[Darth Vader]

We could be 14th tonight if Watford and Bournemouth win

14th ffs

How has this utter clown still got a job

 

[quasi modo]

In what way would you have set the team differently?
You can't know beforehand that some players (like Besic) are going to be awful.

Press them would make a difference

 

[USABlue]

Like jags and Rom have said recently the blame is in both the players as well as the manager. Alot of poor execution on the pitch

 

[Rook]

just toying with us

 

[Norwegian Cow]

people fuming cause we are losing against arsenal.. jeez. Get a grip.

 

[navidson]

How can a team with so many yarddogs in it look so spineless?

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

Arsenal - dire for weeks, so obviously they show up today and play like Barcelona.

 

[II McColl II]

As much as i love Besic, him and McCarthy are a shocking partnership. The reliance we have on Barry is embarrassing given his age, we can't build an attack, the CBs in particular FM are getting caught out up the field with no one dropping in like Barry does from years of experience and we just look shocking.

 

[Bob Elstone]

Clueless in final third. Standing up awful cross after awful cross.

Meanwhile Arsenal neat one twos...

 

[Jags..class]

Plain and simply looks like martinez has given up on the league in order to win the fa cup, it appears they can't really be bothered!

That unfair, arsenal 11 players have turned up and playing very well. Wenarennot good enough to beat this arsenal team

 

[bnz]

If he doesn't change this at ht he's a moron. This has been one of the worst first half performances of the season.

 

[D410]

Is Besic fit?

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Besic for some reason letting players run off him.

 

[coollino]

Oh my god watching that non tackle again , he just can't be arsed !

Wouldn't have happened in the 80's

 

[nsno-chris]

Arsenal haven't even got out if first gear.

Absolutely terrible performance and it comes from the manager
