It always stings.

by .

Losing a North London derby isn’t supposed to be easy. It’s not supposed to come with positives. It is always utterly shit. Losing to ‘that’ Jose Mourinho mess stung like a wet towel to the backside in a cold December Sunday League dressing room.

Everything about the loss hurt. The simple summation of the game is we didn’t take the sort of chances we normally would and individual errors cost us big again.

Kola was unable to execute a standard 10-yard pass to David Luiz. The Brazilian, low on pace at 33, didn’t have a recovery in him. Martinez, maybe didn’t make himself big enough for the Son chip. You cannot coach that sort of idiocy out of players (Emi is subtracted from that comment), it is absolute Sunday League basics. The second goal was another set-piece calamity. Kieran Tierney found himself picking up Toby from corner, no one else was paying attention, we conceded.

In attack, you saw Auba air shot from a cut back cross in the first half. The second half saw him rattle a fairly standard finish against the bar. He forced an electric save from Lloris on the half volley. Normally, you convert those. Yesterday, we didn’t.

We deserved the result. You know what Jose is going to do to you and he did it. At the highest level, you need to concentrate for the full 90 and we have players that are rarely capable of that. The Kola piece was particularly irritating. Arteta said that no one complained about his defenders when we were keeping clean sheets, I’d disagree with that. Kola was absolutely awful in the last game, so we knew something was brewing. What was alarming was how everything fell to pieces, particularly when we went a goal down. Mustafi was attacking shadows, the shape started to pick apart, and the usual suspects weren’t sharp enough.

The other absolutely key issue is the personnel in midfield. Dani Ceballos was excellent, he really put in a dogged shift, but we still struggled to create from midfield. I think part of the gameplay was to have Lacazette drop in as a 10, but that came with its own problems.

Someone asked me after the game if I still thought the players were coachable. Absolutely. It isn’t even up for discussion whether the players have been improved by better coaching. Our team is better structured, we’ve beaten some good teams on the road, and nearly all stats point to clear improvements across the board. Coaching though, will not solve for Kola making a mistake that bad from 10 yards. The mistakes, sadly, always wait in the wings with certain players. Sometimes you’ll see David Luiz have a towering game, other times, he looks like the least experienced player on the pitch. Mustafi had a great run, now he looks like he’s playing with fear again. The only way you solve for those issues is new players. The only way you deal with them this season is to continue to give them confidence and hope we see more games like those at Leicester / Wolves / Sheffield United… versus the messy output today.

On the match, I was a little confused with the post-game buoyance from Arteta. I thought we deserved the loss and couldn’t quite match his enthusiasm for the performance. I suspect maybe he knew there were a lot of tired legs out there and he knows if we go into the Liverpool game feeling sorry for ourselves, it’ll be a rout.

What I will say is the whatever you think about the game is at least we’re looking at that match as a lost opportunity. We weren’t battered or opened up. We were shithoused, but like, barely even shithoused. We should have won based on chances and not making stupid mistakes, and that’s the talking point.

We have 3 more games in the league this season and an FA Cup game that looks like it’s going to be very, very tough. Then the real work starts. This summer has to be big. If we don’t buy well and upgrade the clear areas we’re struggling in, we’ll have more games like this. Our summer needs end with a squad that is built for the vision of the coach, if it’s not, then what is the point?

Liverpool in 2 days. My word I hope we have something to give. See you in the comments.

I’ll be honest, I’ve lost interest now.

Other than Man City, I’m not going to get up at silly o’clock in the morning midweek and sacrifice my sleep before I go to work and start my working day off in a bad mood because that shambolic defence has let us down.

At least until next season, and it pains me to say it, there’s no point in getting emotionally involved. The morning of the Liverpool game, I’ll have a good nights sleep, wake up, check the score, win, loose or draw – it doesn’t matter.

Emiratesstroller

All I read since the defeat against Spurs is negativity about Arteta. For once let’s get real. The squad has not materially changed since he took over coaching. The club is in a downward spiral, because its squad is frankly not good enough and not because Arteta is a bad or inexperienced coach. What the club needs to do now is set clear objectives for next season. Bluntly we are not going to finish in top 4 because Liverpool, Man City, Man Utd and Chelsea are far ahead of us in squad building and will have significant funds to improve… Read more »

Emery or Arteta or Freddie or whoever, all I’ve managed to deduce from the never ending boring back and forths on this topics is the good old PLAYER POVERTY. If your spine is filled with defenders who can’t defend, midfielder who can’t either create or help out the defence then you’re already disadvantaged. Sure that defence will give you the odd clean sheet mostly when the opposition strikers are having an off day and your keeper has a blinder but overtime you’d be left harmstrung and let down just when it matters the most.

It all comes down to midfield, if we sort it out our defenders will not be under pressure.

“If your spine is filled with defenders who can’t defend, midfielder who can’t either create or help out the defence then you’re already disadvantaged.”

I think this is the crux.

The spine.

There have been some posters that have pointed out that successful teams now and in the past have/had a few questionable players among their number. The notion that you can get away with having a few questionable players in an overall good team.

But I can’t recall succesful teams where the spine has had questionable players operating in it.

Bats People talk about players making a play that makes a difference in a match. Well players that are dependable in terms of not commiting unforced errors on a regular basis are just as important as the player that scores a wonder goal. When you watch some of these lower ranked teams their overall play is not bad at all. In many instances it can be good. But they will have a few too many players in their side that will commit unforced errors in a game that kills them. Applies to Mustafi. He can make good plays and have… Read more »

Overmars it’s prob not worth getting up for the City game as well. They’re running rampant atm, with lots of goals in cruise mode. I would say I can’t wait for next season but I’m certain the same culprits will be in the side making the same brain dead mistakes.

My 13 year old ran into the room when Lacazette scored to ask me if I was watching the NLD because there wasn’t a single cheer. That’s what this team will do to you, they’ll beat out any optimism, even if we get the lead you know what comes next.

Sok & Holding as CBs and Torr and Guend as DM and CM in a 4231 would be an option if the manager was flexible

peanuts&monkeys

Kolasinac had been making mispasses since the game against Wolves. I guess he made 3 mispasses in that.
Haven’t watched the one against Leicester. Not sure whether he played. And, if he played, I’m sure he must have made a few mispasses there as well.
Against Spurs he had two mispasses around the flank well within 20 minutes. And, the third ine resulted in the Son goal.

So, either he is an uncoachable shit. Or, we have shit coaches.

And yet, Arteta makes him play in defence because Arsenal doesn’t have any better CBs and LB.

Jim Lahey

@Guns –

“I would also give Reiss Nelson more time on the RW. Kid is better than Pepe but hardly gets minutes.”

What has he ever done to prove he is better than Pepe? The guy has done absolutely nothing at Arsenal. Pepe was one of our best players against Spurs.

andy1886

From F365 on the last time we beat Liverpool in 14/15 season: “The line-ups for that 4-1 win are pretty instructive. Arsenal boasted a mouth-watering front five of (peak) Mesut Ozil, Aaron Ramsey, Santi Cazorla, Alexis Sanchez and Olivier Giroud, so it’s little wonder that Simon Mignolet, Emre Can, Mamadou Sakho, Kolo Toure and Alberto Moreno struggled to contain them. That Liverpool’s net spend is comfortably less than half Arsenal’s total over the intervening five years should be an embarrassment to Arsenal that will not be erased by one decent result.” This highlights just how far things have swung around.… Read more »

This whole approach of blaming the defence for all losses is plain childish.

Every goal conceded has someone’s error stamped on it. Even the Spurs defender made a mispass/loose-pass resulting in the Arsenal goal. By that yardstick, Spurs couldn’t have one unless their attack played well and SCORED.

This is the key. Scoring is the key. Arsenal loses more because it’s attack doesn’t score than because its defenders screw up. This irrational pasting of defenders is a kinda denial Arsenal fans love to live in.

Why are we working on an another loan deal for Mavropanos?

Is it because we can’t sell him but we don’t want him back? I hope we include an obligation to buy him in there even for £5m.

Imagine if we did that for Elneny and Mkhitaryan… although it is possible we tried and Besiktas and Roma wouldn’t bite.

Our transfer window will only be a success if we move out long-standing deadwood players.

‘I think had Mari not got injured then Luiz doesn’t get a contract extension’

So because slow motion got injured you had to give an extension to Mr regular accident?

Your thinking is fast and furious.

A progressive coach who prefers to work with Luiz ahead of Holding is indeed very progressive.

peanuts&monkeys

The Arsenal attack is plain zero aggression, sub-zero passion and negative leadership on the pitch.

Auba is a poor skipper.

The attack is no devoid of any urgency you can feel with with eyes closed. Its a sham how Arsenal never tries to score in quick succession.

I don’t think Arsenal has scored two quick goals ever in the last 4 years. I just cannot remember.

It all goes down to the players on the pitch. I’m sure all of them are unmanageable by Arteta.

If we are absolutely not gonna play ozil, I hope we do whatever we have to, to move him along, even it means covering 70% of his salary. I mean saving 50k a week is better than not saving anything.

Leeds,

We did that for Ospina. If he played 25 games (it may have been different number), Roma were forced to buy him at a pre-agreed price. They stopped using him at 24 games. Renegotiated the purchase price. Arsenal refused to budge, then in the end had to relent.
BTW the 6 weeks it took to agree on that new price cost us more in Ospina wage ( > 240k = 6 X 40k – not including employer contribution) than the difference between the pre-arranged price and final price (200k).

Freddie Ljungberg

Nelson

I hope we find out soon.

When we play Xhakas next team in the europa league. That’s his level.

I really really hope Arteta is just blowing smoke up Xhaka and Mustafi’s arses to keep them onboard until the summer. It’s a sackable offense to persuade either of them to stay.

We need much better if we’re going to climb up the table. Even lower bottom teams has better midfielders and defenders than us nowadays, Auba is our only advantage atm. Coaching isn’t going to change that.

Sore back or no sore back, Ozil would be playing every game if he would play the Arteta’s game of public ego massaging and general foot licking a la Luiz.

For me, Kola is destroyed by Arteta. Kola’s strength is playing as a wingback. He would station on the sideline, receiving the ball with lot of open space in front. He would run like a tank and send a cutback.

“As good as it gets? Nah, but certainly as expected given the circumstances of Arteta’s appointment mid-season and having to work on the fly.
If you ignore that when processing your expectations then that’s a clear agenda you’re preaching.”

Liverpool is on holidays so hopefully Mari and Eddie absence won’t affect the team chances of winning the game. Both jokers would struggle to make Norwich City match day squad, but this is the sauce we heard about for the last 6 months

Arsenal have a coach but what we need is a manager , Arteta seems to have learned the coaching side well from Pep but he now needs to add the ruthless manager side to his approach , look how pep dealt with Joe hart . The same players consistently making mistakes should be moved on and not helped like he seems to think as they are highly paid professionals

Goobergooner

I can only hope that Arteta really is just trying to get as much out of xhaka and mustafi to increase any value they can scrounge together for themselves. Definitely would both sell at a loss

If Auba leaves it is highly likely Arteta will install Xhaka as captain and then he will have a fan issue on his hands

Speaking of tony as a manager he mentioned during the game that his last stint (which I think was in the middle east) he had his team break all the records for defense. They didn’t concede a goal in 13 games or something

But he said they scored almost none at the other end so didn’t mean much

Yeah it was very odd that Arteta seemed to be determined to sideline martinelli despite his major contribution this season

Hello

Arsenal’s current squad excluding the four players currently out on loan is 29players according to Transfermarkt. Only Smith-Rowe is expected to return this summer who is not included in list. Messrs Mkhitaryan, Elneny and Mavropanos will leave or go out again on loan. My personal view is that Arsenal do not need more than 22-23 players in the squad next season assuming that we do not qualify for Europe. Being overloaded can be counterproductive not to mention the high cost of wage bill. So there are at least 8 players who need to be shifted out of squad even before… Read more »
