Match Day Thread Arsenal v Toon

i wont change my opinion ... we really are bad

 

Anyone got any stats for Lascelles brought straight back into the team and Schar dropped?

 

And what's the league position?

 

As predicted we got dry bummed. What excuses will Bruce trott out I wonder.

 

Just reinforces the point that we cannot ever progress beyond PL hangers on under Ashley. Takeover or die.

 

Btw at last I can retire from these threads. They take too long to compose so it’s now over to some other poor mug to do the next one.

 

Groot you up for it?

 

that like I said is really nothing to do with my point.. yes were 12th, but we are playing badly, so it wont last.. if we were playing well id be like great , but were really not..

lets just see what happens and if im wrong ill be the 1st to say it., but im not falling for this blinkered view if thats ok mate

 

PL hangers on is his entire business model.

 

steve bruce tonight
“Joelinton has got to learn and improve. He has to be in the box more often. We have to keep reminding him to get in the box and be more selfish. Strikers are judged on goals. He played well, led the line well but he’s got one goal all season in Premier League.”

steve, if you have to keep telling him then he is not a footballer
how can you not see it

 

Steve Bruce being interviewed reminds me of McClaren being interviewed.

 

i feel its unfair singling him out... the entire team is a mess...

 

not really

Bruce picks him every game
he trains him every week
how is that unfair, when we can see he is not a footballer and Bruce does

 

Which is kinda my point really, it's something of a mini miracle that we're in this position with no strike force, and hence while Bruce is no the answer, he's had to make do with what he's been given, and 12th right now is an achievement.

We ain't going down, we've never been in danger and it's not happening.

OK we're ****, but I expected things to be far worse by this stage.

 

we are 13th - unlucky

 

I dont think we look good anywhere on the pitch ,so for me its unfair to single him out and should maybe start looking at himself and how to resolve things.

 

Massive slackness in midfield that they completely dominante Arsenal in the 1st half then don't bother in the second. Barely noticed Bentaleb in 2nd half.

Joey is Joey, he ain't a killer stoker, and Bruce can't blame him for that collapse.

 

lets not forget we finished 10th and 13th the last 2 seasons, so its not some great achievement being there.

 

that was today and every game
Dubs made a clanger but its not every game
other players have off days but not every game
I blame Bruce for picking him
I blame Penfold for signing him
and I blame Ashley because he's a ****

 

agreed mate... the entire system is a mess... btw did say its not bruces fault we sold perez and let rondon go... that for me has killed us going fwd
