invisibleman18 I think we just didn't take it seriously. If we did Kepa wouldn't start.
Qwiss if that's the case then why did Saka, Rice, Zubi, Gabriel etc start and not just play Norgaard and other reserves? For whatever reason it was promised to the backup keeper and ultimately it was the difference. If only there was some way it could have been foreseen. Can only hope Raya doesn't get injured now. We've seen what happens when incapable players have to come into the side for a title run in.
Think Neville is spot on about playing out of the back taking away our momentum. We are not benefiting from this at all.
CPM That's been literally the only constant of our last few seasons. And we do it again and again, as if we wanted to lose every important game.
CPM nah it has nothing to do with our problems today
How are we so bad this 2nd half? Infuriating.
I'm turning this off, they are simply a much much better team. We simply cannot keep the ball for 1 sec. We just give it. Pray to god City looses to Chelsea or we will fuck up the league as well.
White being an idiot now.
Qwiss Bit too late for him to act the tough man now after letting them walk all over him for 25 minutes.
The post match is going to be annoying as fuck
tazmania Not watching that. Will do something productive with my time instead.

I can't stand Arteta's football, but blaming him for our players not being able to do simple things like press, mark or pass is a reach.
Kel Varnsen
So what do you think of him starting kepa unless you actually thought he was competent to do simple things like save, distribute etc.
Kel Varnsen they are just stupid children. You expect too much.
Anyway, bigger fish to fry.
Worrying still is how badly this bodes for our league game there.
IBL we have no chance to win there. a lucky draw is the most we can get
Klaus he gave Cherki exactly what he wanted.
Klaus
Nah, thats showboating and being a douche. No need for it, White gave him that message. I accept that yellow.
Burnwinter I think that's the point yeah he's made an error but we've been nowhere near good enough and this arsenal is always there with Arteta in some of these crunch ties that passive approach costs us too often.
Kel Varnsen if Raya was on it'd still be 0-0
swider genuine question - what's the alternative? Not convinced playing out the back is the problem, we just weren't sufficiently patient/decisive in how we executed.
Let's be honest, fellas, if it wasn't for Arteta's Dowman Hail Mary last week, we'd probably have dropped points vs. Everton too.
We play like shit regularly.
SimplyTheBest Time to get Dowman on now though
Kel Varnsen the team have repeatedly come out of half time and played worse than the first half. whatever he telling them at half-time is having the opposite effect
USArsenal Like Qwiss said, Cherki got exactly what he wanted out of that.
