playing the cloggers would've been the same result. We've got a more crucial game in 3 days I think we went there and tried to counter, but Arsenal swarmed us and I have to say were very impressive off the ball.
I don't think your in a position to talk about any of us swapping places with that lot with that avi. I didn't think it was possible to make that thing look ****ter than it was, yet I have been proved wrong. I also would have thought the rainbow thing couldn't look cringier either, yet here we are.
No. But today has still been **** for us. Would be nice to win a game. I’ve been saying that all season mind. I remember the Watford game. And the abuse.
Yeah the Watford game wasn't must win.. The next two aren't either in fact, but I think 4 points is the minimum. You weren't getting abuse mate you just didn't like people not having what was in the eyes of some a slightly Ott opinion at that early stage. You expected us to lose this game, so surely 2-0 isn't too bad. Nothings really changed
I could see the warning signs back then and everyone thought things where ok. I could see us going on this run. I couldn’t see a win. I still can’t.
Well I have to say he's bound to be enjoying watching today and feeling like he's served more humble pie.
End of the day, regardless of who the manager is the squad is piss poor. We have 1 decent keeper 2 poor keepers and a **** keeper to pick from We have 1 poor LWB We have 5 poor cb's to pick from We have 2 poor rwb to pick from We have 1 show pony to pick from for LW We have an aging, poor rm to pick from We have 1 average cm and 4 poor cm's to choose from We have 1 average am to pick from We have 2 poor rw to choose from We have 1 decent striker, 2 **** strikers to choose from.
The more i think about it the more i'm baffled by that selection. Ritchie is ****e and played out of position. Lascelles is ****e and shouldn't be playing. Krafth is the worst player in the squad and is played out of position. Fraser is being played out of position. Joelinton is ****e (i don't care about one decent game) Two CM's who don't want to defend. Really really poor selection.
We could all see that mate, but you suggested they were must win games and at the time they just weren't. I think we're there now though I think Norwich is must win, can we agree on that?
Yes we must beat Norwich if anything more than to give us a lift. I honestly think Norwich might win today and that gives them a massive head start on us. We then need Brighton to beat Leeds. I still feel like we dropped a clanger getting ride of Lejuene. And why is Manquillo not getting game time. Everything is baffling me?
Some positives for me. Concerned about our fitness levels. We only seemed to be able to fully press for 30mins. Gonna take him time to sort that out. Overall I didn’t really expect much, Arsenal have improved hand over fist in recent times. They have better players than us. I thought we were poor with the ball though and as a result missed some really good counter attack opportunities. Eddie has some work on his hands!
The thing is that nobody seemed to provide Bruce that get out of jail card. The fans were saying Bruce had the best squad ever under Ashley. It's far too soon to judge Howe, but Bruce and the media will be right to say I told you so if he fails to keep the club up.
Personally don’t think he could cope physically with the league. Both spells in this country beset by injuries. He’s very slow so perhaps he has to really push himself physically to deal with the game here. Good defender though.
