Not a single shot on target. At least when we faced Real, Barca or Juve we had chances. Nani off for Diaby.
I feel like the only good from this game is that we didn’t get thrashed like I expected. Arsenal plays like garbage in the first half and we manage 0 shots on target. Waste.
There’s just no outlet or focal point. I was at old Trafford for the juve game on Tuesday and it was exactly the same with lukaku playing shit. No-one wants the final ball
Sounds like Coates had another terrible game. I feel like his time at the club is coming to an end. Would like to see a bit of a revolution at CB for next year. Mathieu, while excellent, is too old and injury prone as well.
If Arsenal actually cared we would lose by more. There's a serious lack of creativity and decision making in this squad. Renan - some good saves but doesn't inspire any confidence. Ristovski - seems to have gotten worse Coates - it's hit or miss with him, today it was miss Pinto - quietly did his thing, not a standout though Acuna - best player in the 1st, disappeared along with everyone else in the 2nd, ends every game arguing with the referee or the linesman and getting a yellow Petrovic - beyond useless Battaglia - it must be bad in Argentina when he's a starter for their NT Gudelj - came with hype but so far has shown nothing Bruno Fernandes - still having cold sweats from the hooligans, spends most of his time acting like a primadonna Montero - tries, but we'll never win anything with him as a forward Nani - still has skills but physically not there anymore Bruno Gaspar - 4M for this dude? Really? Jovane - has been clutch but has a lot to learn and compared to wingers in the past is miles away Diaby - must be wishing he stayed in Brugge Peseiro - more like PeZero We've lost 1-0 to Braga, 4-2 to the colossal Portimonense, narrowly beat Loures 2-1 (or was it Dortmund, I guess they look the same) and now lose 1-0 at home to Arsenal with 0 shots on target. But hey, as long as we're all holding hands and singing kumbaya, thats all that matters.
Doubt Coates will go, there's way too many other positions we need to improve and it's yet to be seen if we'll have the money to do it.
Surprise today in the Starting XI, with Miguel Luis getting his first ever start for us. Renan; Bruno Gaspar, Coates, Mathieu, Acuña; Miguel Luís, Gudelj, Bruno Fernandes; Nani, Diaby, Montero.
Against Arsenal of all teams too! Bold move from Tiago Fernandes, I like it. Surprised Montero is starting over Dost though.
Incredibly frustrating there, we were set up for the counter but Montero couldnt find a pass and loses the ball. Renan scares me in goal too.
Yeah Renan looks real shaky back there. We're not doing too bad considering. Arsenal always turns it on in the 2nd half though.
75-25 possession. I mean I get that we are conceding possession and looking for the counter, problem is we cant counter. We cant string 3 passes together and Montero should be subbed for Dost.
Defensively we've been good no doubt. But we need to make a couple of changes offensively. Bas Dost about to come on for his 100th appearance for us. Montero off. Hopefully now we can have some hold up play. I would also throw on Jovane for Diaby.
Matheu sent off with a straight red for bringing down Aubameyang just outside the box who was in on goal. Other than that, great turnout from Mathieu. Not like it changes anything, we've been parking the bus for 85 minutes.
