Ahhhhggghhhhhhhh… WHY CHELSEA, WHY?
I wanted them to win. Smash West Brom. Keep hope OUT of this weekend. Make the Liverpool game an exercise in nothing.
Tuchel losing his first league game 5-2 has opened this afternoon up. It went from largely uninteresting, to… hmmmm… this could be sexy?
For Arsenal AND Liverpool.
If we win today, we go to within 6 points of top 4. SIX POINTS OFF TOP 4 WITH 8 GAMES TO GO.
That would be tantalising. There are still a lot of teams in the mixer. Too many to topple in my opinion, but still, the Premier League season, as it stands, is not over by a longshot. Our last few games are not the worst… we also play Chelsea, who we can beat.
My worry, as usual, is we’re world-class at punching ourselves in the face. Think about the self-inflicted wounds we’ve inflicted this season. We’ve been smacking ourselves about all year, no one is better at fucking things up than us.
The Liverpool game today, at home, is not looking great on many levels.
The Xhaka haters are about to see what happens when he’s not in the side.
David Luiz, who I’ve been desperate to see out of the starting 11 isn’t going to be included because of injury.
Saka AND ESR have very late fitness tests.
We’re not exactly cooking on first-team gas here…
What do we have going for us?
Well, we’re at home. Jurgen Klopp had a lot more players away last week than us. He’s had one training session to prepare.
I’m hoping that we might have carried through a bit of belief from the backend of the West Ham game. We are playing, mostly, like a top 4 team of late. We have the players to do damage today, there’s confidence that we can come back from going down in big games, and at some point… something has to click for us.
We’re waiting for a bang-bang moment.
Liverpool is a great team, they’ll be top 2 next season… but at the moment, there is a weakness in their system.
What am I looking for from today? A fucking performance.
We gave Manchester City too much respect. We let them score early, then we spent the game trying to keep it respectable.
That can’t happen today. We cannot let Liverpool control proceedings from the off. We have to stop conceding after 6 minutes in the big ones. There needs to be a show of force out there.
Which Arsenal will show up?
As Matt from podcast always says, you’ll know after 5 minutes.
Will it be the team that bossed the Spurs game? Or will it be the team that showed up thinking about what they were having for dinner at West Ham.
These are moments Arteta needs to own. He has to get his team firing. At a minimum, we need to come away from this game thinking there’s been progress
We’ve beaten Liverpool with Arteta. This squad can do anything on its day. Let’s see if we can do it under the pressure of a ‘maybe’ run for top 4.
HUGE GAME. See you on the other side. x
I’m not sure the answer is Mo Elneny, but that is what Arteta is going for. That should make all the difference!
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Have we registered 1 shot in the entire game, against a currently shit Liverpool, this is pish
Mind you he can’t be any worse than Cebellos
Lol Laca isn’t our best striker by any stretch of the imagination too.
Auba and Laca together has never ever worked and will never ever work. Why don’t Arsenal managers recognize this?
We’re veryv flaky in the tackle especially Oodegard.
1 shot, 1 on target
We wouldn’t be where we are in the table had the generational one any clues with the squad
Areas Soares shoots proper
No midfield engine from the Arsenal. Need players that can impose themselves on other teams in the midfield.
TheBayingMob
That’s a 100% conversion rate.
That is progress, right?
We are going to need Alison to do us a favour to score in this game.
Klopp going for it now with Jota in for a fullback while the generational one brings Elneny on.
We are so outclassed, it’s sad to watch.
Fuck
No way back we have been fucking awful……
Jota, who else.
Fuck Auba. Get rid of him!!!!
Well deserved goal i say
Just a matter of time..
Thought they were crap, maybe we’re just worse?
Game over. We have no way back from that.
Because that wasn’t predictable or coming
Predictable. Are we now going to try and play some football?
Oh boy!!
Fucking Leno again. Palming an easy save into the roof.
Lazy lazy from Auba. Unforgivable.
Well that’s been coming for an hour, mikel looking very poor.
He will jow take pepe off for Willian hahaha.
What a joker, auaba still wide martinelli on the bench, very very poor
They have to sack Arteta tonight
Arsenal will wake up in the 90th minjte !
We deserve to lose this. Terrible performance.
Why doesn’t Arteta grow some balls and try Azeez CM? Martinelli LW?
We were 3 down against fuckin West ham United, why did anyone think we would be any better here against Liverpool?
We are dogshit and I can’t see how things can change.
We are officially a a top 10 club now
25 mins to get something.
Time for Arteta to bring out the sauce.
How anyone can talk about progress, is beyond me. We are never going to finish higher than 8 with Arteta!
Header won comfortably beating Hokding and Chambers…
Seriously rubbish coaching
We’ll be better next season though
We really do play as if we are scared when we play big teams. It’s very annoying.
“Fucking Leno again. Palming an easy save into the roof”
Don’t forget those two shit players Holding and Chambers, once again beaten in the air by the smallest player on the pitch.
Whole game plan from the generational sauce was to just not lose and maybe nick a goal. Maybe if we only lose 0-1 that is progress? Now we have to push on and try and equalize, that will give Liverpool the space they need to score a few more.
Auba finished, can’t influence the game, can’t work back, can’t pass. Liability, what a fall.
garbage. Leno should do better there.
Bati
Lacazette is comfortably better at CF than Aubameyang, not even a worthwhile debate at this point.
Jim
Should have done that before last Christmas
Can’t wait for Arteta to get sacked, sick of the cunt
I’m really surprised arteta keeps making the same tactical mistakes. Shocking judgement. I still don’t like arteta. A good manager would see these things.
Fuck off Arteta
We’ve given up
Gabriel was poor there.
Fuckkkkk but this goal was inevitable.
This was all on Chambers who passed the ball in a space occupied solely by Pool of piss players.
Dreadful.
Someone tell them its not Looserpool team from last 2 season. Its ok to beat them.
Useless wankers
@Useroz –
He has destroyed the club
Leno must be replaced, Fucking megged again
Was game done after first goal, thats just salt to the wounds and thats where i turn off
*sigh*… whole team will be on injury list by end of this match.. Play Martinelli …. what do we have to lose at this point… 9th place? I don’t get it.
Keep waiting arteta. We might just start playing amazing football. Just keep waiting.
Putting Elneny on shows no sauce to begin with whatsoever other than hoping for a point
Leno even opened his leg wider before the shot. We are not a top4 team, more like a bottom half team.
Liverpool have lost 6 out of last 8 in the Prem and Arsenal “have been playing like a top four side” apparently
Can we forfeit the game and take a 0-3 loss now?
Arteta has destroyed this club.
We are 4th since Christmas, and only 2 behind. True progress
Such a weak minded team. Even if you’re shit and incapable of doing anything, at least put a fucking shift in!
Leno should have saved that we are not at the races today outclassed
Why isnt he stil bringing on martinelli?
Complete shit. There’s two teams I can’t stand being beaten by and that’s Liverpool and United (way more than Tottenham or Chelsea). This one is all on Arteta. Set up badly. Played badly. Poorly motivated. Utter wank.
Pedro will be telling us all tomorrow that we are on the upward curve.
Let’s go win Europa.
Steady Jim remember this is not an Arsenal fansite anymore it’s an Arteta one
I’m not sure what defence any fan can actually have for arteta. Any actual improvements are debatable. Weaknesses are still clear.
“Arteta has destroyed this club.“
Embarrassing
we are not moving from 9th or 10th
Play Gabby Martinelli!!!!!
What’s our Goals against looking like now?
This is not going to end well if we don’t get our act together..
Very weak performance by Arsenal.
Arteta is going nowhere he will get the players he wants in the summer and we will improve significantly
Artists has just no clue how to read players. What a crap team he put out tonight.
Martinelli??????????????????????????????????????????
Make this poor Pool look so dominating, what a poor Manager
As bad a performance as Emery at his worst. And what is the point of Aubamayang? MA doesn’t seem to be getting any value from him whatsoever
Why has Martinelli not featured again?
I’m off to play my pick up game.
There’ll be more adventurous play there than from Arsenal today.
Another blowout.
Bati 100 % correct.My head went down moment I saw the Team.
13 loses in 30 PL games!
Let him go in the summer!
@Champagne Charlie
Still trusting the process are you?
Let’s not play this defeat down either because it’s Liverpool . This Liverpool is in piss poor form and is a pale imitation of the side of last season . This is an awful performance by us , truly awful
Took him ages to sideline Willian. Will take him ages ro sideline Aubameyang.
Can we call him a quick learner?
It’s not the team he put out, but more about not being able to make adjustments to fight the midfield battle.
It’s actually comical. Ray Charles may as well be the manager. Seriously, Arteta is fucking clueless. Progress my arse, we were a mid-table team and Arteta has cemented it, well done prick.
What was the plan today though?
We are lucky to have nil
Personel is lacking RB playing LB CB playing RB auba a busted flush I expect a lot of changes in the summer
We need an entire midfield except partey.
still pissed that they got Jota and not us.
How was previous manager worst?
Wenger never been this shit.
I was calling for Wenger out before he won his last 3 FA Cups, but I never thought we would end up being such an irrelevance of a football club.
What is the purpose of this club?
Partey has given the ball away like 6 million times today.
Is Saka and ESR the sauce !!!
Arteta said before this game that “the hand breaks are off”
Surely he must be a shitty driver if this is what “hand breaks are off” means.
Bring in Per Mertesacker, FFS he can’t be any worse and at least he won’t shy away playing kids.
At this stage, I will even take Freddie back.
Gabriel had options ..should just concede a corner
No Saka and ESR and we turn to utter shit
Pepe has the ball quite a bit on the left produces absolutely nothing …. and Auba on the left is worse
Arteta still does fuck all other than throwing on a guy he wants to give a new contract in Elneny?! Joke
Players will need to get this one tonight out of their systems quickly, hope Tierney is fit, and move on to Thursday which is the must win game of the week, let’s have it right, it’s all about the EL for this season.
4th since december
