Can't stand him anymore tbh. From the way he sidelined certain players, to not sidelining others for criminal charges, his unequal treatment of players, to the total control he has been given, to how cringeworthy some of his methods are, to the way he has ruined so many players through overplaying them - Saka, Havertz, Odegaard they're all finished. Rice and Zubi are next. To him deciding negative risk averse football is the way to win. To the amount of time we waste with the ball being in our possession but dead. To his horseshoe of death.
Just get him out of my club. He might have had the desired effect at the start but he has taken us as far as he can and that is to 2nd best.
If I was a neutral I sure as hell would rather City won it. They play much better football. Every single match of ours is a struggle and a horrible watch. The players are scared to do anything other than pass sideways and back and hope for set pieces. He won't change this as he is convinced it's the reason we got into this position and will keep us there and it won't win us a thing. Already been proven in the league cup final and many other matches where we've turned up not to lose. That is not the mentality that wins you trophies.

In total, 26 minutes and 48 seconds of the match was spent with Arsenal technically in possession but the ball being dead. Six minutes preparing for corners might be understandable given their success at it, but seven minutes waiting for throw-ins?
Of the top-six teams in the Premier League table, they have had more matches this season with an open-play expected goals total of 0.3 or lower than Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea combined. It has happened six times.
That is very unusual for the Premier League leaders. Indeed, in the previous eight seasons, the eventual winners of the competition have ranked among the top two overall for open-play creativity. Arsenal rank sixth on the metric. They are currently below Brighton.
This shit is the last straw. We wasting 27mins of a match with the ball dead in our possession fuck off and play football and try and score a goal from open play you absolute coward.
