Arsenal Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours 25/26

Exactly. Disappointing but certainly wouldn't swap it for 3 points in the league

Arteta needs to go!

He has no plan B. Everything he does is defensive and predictable. Never sets the team out to win games, it's about possession and control and today we had neither. Cannot blame the squad anymore. Our form has been shocking for quite some time now we have just been managing to scrape results.

People saying I would take the league over the cup, champions league over the league etc are deluded. You want to win every game and in one off games like today from minute one you attack and try win the game. If nothing else the fans can see you went for it and the better team won on the day, no complaints. Imagine paying for a ticket to that to watch your team sit back and allow a struggling City team pile the pressure on and look like world beaters, simply shocking.

No trophy in how many years and we finally bring on some front men in the 80ish minute ? Arteta paralysed on the bench to take a chance…2 nil down in a one off game and still holds back making positive changes to try turn it around. We should have emptied the bench after the 2nd goal, get Dowman on. Rice, Trossard, Zubimendi and Saka did zilch today. Anyone suggesting Havertz is first choice, watch that game back again. He is nowhere near it.

You think Ferguson would have started his 2nd choice players for a chance of silverware ? No chance, it is all about winning trophy's and creating winning habits. This is a trend we have experienced from Arteta from day 1, He is not good enough imo end of. Arsenals habits right now is not showing up in the big games when it matters, Mentally they are not there. Nobody else to blame anymore.

No it's not Ferguson and Pep should show you that. Wenger would disagree with you obviously as well.

Utter domestic dominance in England has never translated to anything similar in Europe.

You can call it a rant all you like the record speaks for itself. One cup back in 2020. What should I be waiting for? if you enjoy their current form fair play to you. Opportunities mean nothing if you don't show up and perform, We are only where we are in the league as City handed it back by dropping points, The games we could have put the league to bed we got defensive, nervy and lost points, just like today.

We have done very well to continue churning out results given our shocking performances.

I think its 4 losses in 50 games and need only 1 more win to equal most ever wins since Premier league era started

Ok similar to me. Terry Neill was still in charge when I started following.

Boring boring Arsenal never bothered me in the slightest under Graham

Yes

Means absolutely nothing, How many have City won? a lot less yet they have a trophy this season.

Arsenal should go on and win the league and brilliant if they do.

Can I ask you, should we not have won a league under him already? remember the big lead we let slip? that not count?

If we win nothing this season then by all means have the Arteta out discussion, but to have it now is ridiculous

If Arsenal showed up today and actually looked like they believed themselves they could win. Try to entertain their fans with some attacking football and be the better team on the day but still lost I would have zero complaints and tip my cap for them trying their best. What we watched today was another mental implosion. Dress it up anyway you want.

Arteta was under huge scrutiny coming into this season already and got a huge amount of backing from the owners to buy any player he wanted if I remember correctly. Today was his first opportunity to repay that and bring silverware to the club…we looked so far off. He sat back until the 80th minute before trying to change up his tactics and go for it? Tell me I am wrong here.

Yes players need to take responsibility but the manager decides the approach and has the power to change things, just look at Pep today.

I actually think Kepa had more touches on the ball than our midfield.

did same as Pep. Allowed cup keeper to play unfortunately
