    We could get to the CL final. But I don't see us beating Bayern or PSG, and I don't see us turning up for a final even if we were facing someone beatable.

    You cant expect player to be brave and bold when you coach them from a position of fear every ****ing day, in every ****ing game. If you coach a side to waste time for 70 minutes at Fulham to defend a 1-0 lead, you can hardly expect them to believe that they can beat the best sides in Europe.

    Someone needs to tell Arteta to lighten the **** up and leave the ****ing players alone.
    I keep saying this, we have the players to play really nice attacking football. We did it against Bayern for instance but we just seem to have decided to try and defend and nick a goal. Saturday was awful.

    You can't legislate for nerves. They do funny things to people in all sports. Look how an England batting order can implode in Australia when the pressure is on. Watch a golfer with the yips putting.

    I'm sure Arteta tells them to relax but that's easier said than done. You can see how tense they are with some of the basic errors that keep being made.

    The only two solutions are to (a) win something or (b) bring in 2 or 3 players that are used to winning the biggest trophies in the sport.

    Re: solution (b); I think there might be a case for playing Gabi Jesus on the left for a bit. He can be no less effective than Martinelli or Trossard. We know he has a goal in him. We know he's very tricky. We know he's a great passer and we know he's a born winner.

    Have you learned nothing of the intractable Arteta mindset

    I think it was Coppola who had the humour to use The Doors song, The End, at the beginning of Apocalypse Now. Those glorious helicopters flying around above the napalm.
    The inevitable hopelessness of it all.
    That?s us, that is..

    I disagree but I know the scene well.
