+4 mins. we would need a virtual miracle to get something out of this game. we can't even seem to get the ball this half.
How many more years of Wenger are needed before people get it? Even Noob managers are outperforming him - despite Arsenals decent squad
Wenger almost throws a little tantrum at the whistle. Cech with some angry words for Martin Atkinson too. Seems like today was one of those days were we were found out. Sad.
Team needs to take breathe, get rested up, and roll through the festive period. I'm not gonna claim the sky is falling, but the mounting injuries are problematical. Gab & Nacho, in particular, are worrying.
9 points behind and boxing day is around the corner. The season could really be over seeing as Chelsea is not dropping form and don't have champions league.
And Pep seems to want to impersonate Conte or Klopp with chestbutts of his players. Sorry Pep, that's just no you mate.
Exactly Unable to get the ball in the second half when City turned up the heat I think the fan boys will overlook that obvious weakness Yes, we were weak in the second half today. But fundamentally Arsenal have lost to two offside goals. Thanks Martin Atkinson and team.— Matt Scott (@Matt5cott) December 18, 2016 As soon as Arsenal play two strong teams =====> two losses
Same old shit. I'm no expert when it comes to tactics, but it seems like our midfield failed in this game. Very little possession and control in the middle of the park. I'm not sure Xhaka was the right buy for us. Or at the very least I'm not sure he's an ideal partner for Coquelin when you have Ozil drifting all over the place.
He is extremely slow and has zero agility whatsoever, which to me doesn't really suit the high pace of the EPL.
I think you guys need to chill. It was a tough loss in our toughest away game of the season. I'm getting really tired of the "score early, give up dubious equalizer" script. Need to find a way to go up 2-0. Xhaka-Coquelin doesn't work. Can't wait for Ramsey to come back. Ozil's been having issues because when we're in possession, Alexis runs around like a chicken with his head cut off, and gets into the space where Ozil is at his best. He needs to not do that when Arsenal are in possession.
Yea I'm at this conclusion as well. 10+ years of the same let downs vs top teams. Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk
This excuse needs to be put to an end. So Ozil cannot play football during big matches because of Alexis? Alexis plays that way most of the time because we literally never put pressure on the ball. Whenever we play Bournemouth it doesn't affect Ozil tho does it? The man's world class on his day but these excuses for him need to stop. He's been dog shit. End of.
Carrick is a different class from xhaka But hes nit rhe issue Vs a good side u need a mobile distributor Coq and xhaka is not good vs pressure
