We knew we would be **** without saliba. We knew we would be **** without saka. Now we know that without both we are.... actually not that bad, but...

I can't imagine there is a more psychologically demanding role anywhere. But if you.love batting I'd guess it is the most exhilarating place in...

Fortunately not too often; first time we've failed to win from there in ages (Palace, a couple of seasons ago?). We are though struggling to keep...

:hehe: Yes, indeed. The point is, ideally you only want the one mode, the one where you stay on the front foot, keep attacking and keep scoring....

But that isn't what happened today. Today we had a full back at centre back and a midfielder at full back. As a result we struggled against balls...

Well, let's worry about that one when we come to it :-) This is why arteta wanted two modes- football mode, and game management mode. Our problem...

Me too, and the reality of it is even worse. But that's football. Apparently the hardest thing to do is to get players to keep playing, going...

Worst lead in football? I've always hated that phrase

I think what it means is this.... when you are paying 50 or 60 million for a player whose current club signed him 18 months ago for about 10, you...

No, we didn't. And no, we weren't. What was it the man said, when looking at your scorecard, always add two wickets. 2-0 up with half an hour to...

Pretty much agree with that, so long as "more imaginative" doesn't mean the same as "paying top prices for every player"?

The young left back was excellent. The old right back wasn't.....:-(

Ha! "Teuro" the Germans call it (Teur meaning expensive, overpriced). Much more of this sort of thing and we won't even NEED another striker :-\

This sterling makes you wish we'd joined the euro.

We did 'win' it. Or at least, we had it won. 2-0 up with half an hour to go and in total control.

I don't think discussions in the summer will.focus on arteta as such. I think it will be more about how we move ahead from here. We can't really...

You can see where the manager is coming from; Sterling has been a fairly reliable goalscorer his whole career. Although "has been" might be the...

Only if we don't qualify for the Champions League, I think. I'd hate to believe otherwise; Mikel has done too much right.

Could have brought Helen Keller on, for better effect...

No consolation, we could've won 5-nil with that performance. When we drop points it's always because we don't WIN the game when we're on top.

We are miserable to watch. Don't think I'm gonna bother watching anymore games this season absolutely zero point unless we magically get far in the...

The seasons already a bit of a write off. We may go a bit further in the CL but top 4 is all that remains as an achievable goal. Some may think...

This is where you really need to dig deep and find a late winner...... like we did once in September..... :-)

FFS :headwand: When will I ever learn

I shall say nothing :-|

That’s torn it.

You certainly have. :-( Was comfortable for about 2 minutes.
