While acknowledging they’re in a league if their own, even United and that fiasco down the road sneak the odd result against them.
I’d be happy with a draw at this point; lost count of the amount of times they’ve stuck three past us. :headwand:

We defeat ourselves. That's why it's so annoying.Quote:

I did wonder if we had any midfield at all last night at times the way they just ran through us.
I think Xhaka and Partey need to be replaced.
Doesn't seem to matter who the manager is we always fail towards the end. Wenger, Emery or Arteta,
The team needs to go back and watch the Mertesacker final and see how to play and beat a better team. 5 at the back that game with a low deep block and broke through the better team when they had to come on to us. Hell even against Liverpool early in the season we stuck the Jap in at left back to stop Salah. Now he plays a number 10 there and gives him a free role against the best team in the planet. Mental.
I'd rather we'd gone at them.....or at least done something, that was pathetic.Quote:

Even George Graham at Anfield 89 specifically instructed the team, not to go out and batter them for the first half but to instead keep it 0-0 to half time. Suck the energy out of them. And that was while needing to win by 2.Quote:

Pep seems to rotate his squad more effectively.
I definitely wasn't going to use the c word. Then Grealish forced me too the complete auntQuote:

I also suspect Jesus and Oli Z were willing to move to The Arsenal because it had all been worked out what their roles were going to be, which is just like at ManCity but with more playing time.Quote:
