For 20 years we lived with a manager who stubbornly stuck to his game plan. Now we have almost the exact opposite, a guy who changes our shape frequently mid-game
Well if Arsenal goes down today I think it's more the matter of personnel catching up to them than anything Emery related. Defense was less-than-ideal coming into the season and now injuries have made it more tenuous. At some point you need more than duct tape to fix a complex machine.
This ref is really bad, btw. See this red card worthy tackle. Not even a foul, iirc. How did Danny ings get away with this one pic.twitter.com/4RoRotZDEW— R (@rw10uk) December 16, 2018
And yet another defender picks up a knock!!!.This time it's Lichsteiner. Banged his knee cap pretty badly. AMN on
Pause to reflect the Arsenal defense at the moment: Xhaka, Koscielny (just back from injury), and AMN.
Leno was definitely second best on that one. Charlie Austin makes it 3-2. Could be the death blow to our game, to our unbeaten streak...
Ozil is just not good enough for this club anymore. He doesn't have what it takes to contribute on the pitch with any sort of consistency. He's so weak it's not even funny. Brilliant player, but just not what we need anymore. The days of beauty over results are gone at the Emirates, which is completely ok.
Lack of fit center backs cost us here. Combine with the injury to Bellerin, and results could be really bad over the next three weeks.
