Allowing your players to play their own game is fine when you have DB, PV, TH, Ashley, Gilbo etc.

They just follow orders methodically.

We need an A team and we have foot soldiers. But I guess if you buy foot soldiers and try to make them into an A team you have to accept that many will not make it.

For some reason this goes totally out of the window the minute we arrive at a big team's ground.

When the better sides press us in our own half we have absolutely no idea how to handle it and simply give the ball away. Partly because the only option is to move it forward quicker amd we have so little quality in attack.

The players mentioned could read the game and make changes whilst still working within the structure. The current crop lose their heads and the structure.

[R.C. Celebrating the return of Trophies]

we really dont mate.

we have a coach who gives no direction other than to play your game and let your skill show.

Thats why we have tyo put up with this kind of day at leats once or twice a season.
Its normally utd that do it but now there are more quality teams with tactically astute managers it happens more often.

f**king shameful

Maybe not, but you cant ignore arsene's role here. He knew what happened at city and liverpool but has changed nothing.

Ok, we might lose but there are ways of making sure you dont get blown out of the water in the first ten minutes, or at least not in the same f**king way.

He has changed nothing and the same thing has happened. And actuslly, it happens more often but we dont get punished by the lesser sides.

I get you are livid, so am i.
