Arsenal v Man Utd Jan 12th 3 PM KO - FA Cup 3rd round

Qwiss

Coombs I'm convinced the Kroenkes justed us to be solidly a CL team and don't really care beyond that. They want us to maintain our profile for their next attempt at a super league

It's starting to look like that. I wonder what the benefit is to win the title relative to the cost of funding the attacking pieces to win the title.

I've also wondered why the funding at Liverpool also dried up after 2019.

MistaT

Claudius — I’m ok with him not starting. Just think Arteta should be able to figure out a solution of how not to play him at RB…..

Claudius

MistaT I think more than anything, Arteta has to protect Timber. He’s one of our best players. And we aren’t overflowing with options who can slot in at right back.

MistaT

Tam — really?

The guy who crushed 20 yard shots vs Tottenham, Forest, and another team or two?

Who else in our team has scored more than one goal from 20 yards?

Gurgen

This is a new low. We generate more than 3 xG per game but can’t score, it’s absolutely pathetic at this level. And what was Raya doing for those penalties? He was on the floor a full two seconds before a ManUtd player touched the ball. Might be the worst goalkeeping performance I’ve ever seen in a shootout.

Tam

Gurgen We generate more than 3 xG per game

Which in itself is pretty baffling as we look so disjointed and one dimensional.

Claudius

Tam I don’t think it’s per game. It’s in this game and the previous game. We’ve been creating chances last few games.

I don’t think we are disjointed necessarily. Go watch other teams. We were all over United today. We just lacked presence in the box. We just needed someone to cut in like Saka or Henry a couple of times and bury it

DiabyKungFu

Claudius We just lacked presence in the box.

This club is just cursed. That's kinda all there is to it.

Gurgen

Osimhen would bang 20 goals for us in the second half of the season alone

naz

Gurgen isn't he available. Bring him in

Claudius

On another note. What’s our record in this stupid kit? Can we put up some social media posts and. Stop this idiocy

Qwiss

Claudius we need to start stabbing people until it goes away.

lorddulaarsenal

Yep more red it is Claude!

Qwiss we need to start stabbing people until it goes away.

Let's start with putting the knife into Spurs on Wednesday

Are our boys competing in a morbidity Olympics?

Coombs

DiabyKungFu Wenger must have gone down to the crossroads in 2002.

JazzG

You could just sense it when we started missing those chances that we weren't gonna win the game, sickening stuff.

invisibleman18

In fairness you could sense it when we went into the season without a centre forward in the squad. There was never going be any outcome other than what's happening now.

Don Pacifico

invisibleman18 I hear you and I don't disagree that we clearly needed front line reinforcement. But I also want to dispute the notion it was as big a fuck up as is being made out.

Full disclosure, I wanted us to sign forwards this summer and was disappointed we didn't. But additionally, I think with how many goals we scored and the points tally we achieved, it was probably a calculated risk. A risk that didn't pay off but it wasn't as idiotic as some have suggested.
