Antony is fast becoming a problem for me. What does he do in training? He’s got to pull his finger out. Seen nothing from him in the last couple of games. Games? Try months. Bar a handful of goals he’s been generally shit.

The whole board if they really care about the club should be resigning unless the glazers produce some real cash this January to strengthen this squad. I cannot see how players are gonna stay fit, not get tired etc. Rashford, Casemiro key players. Bruno we have seen what happens when he gets tired. Eriksen can’t be playing this many games. Varane another one to be looked after. The scumbags need to get the credit card out and spend.

Mixed feelings. Pissed off with how we played in last half hour or so, just invited pressure and in-game tactics were poor. Starting to lose patience with Antony too. Offers nothing.
Also showed up how woefully short we are in midfield. None of those guys who finished the game in mid are good enough for a game like this and I include Eriksen, it just goes too quick for him.
However, those first 60 or so were brilliant and great to see a meaningful game against Arsenal for ages. Hopefully they see off City in the title race.
For us the title was always a bit of a dream this season. Get some silverware, get back in the Champions League, get new owners and we’ll be serious challengers next season.

Fuckin blaming Erik, we simply don’t have the squad, one or 2 injuries or a Casemiro suspension fucks the lot, if we get top 4 and a trophy it’s a triumph, we were horrid before, the big change will come when the owners fuck off!! Arsenal won with a goal mouth scramble, got lucky! Fuck em I’d love to try and defend ETH but he messed this up. From day one his in game management has looked suspect. MCT is a waste, could care less about his fitness stats, we should be packaging him off to the any mug that will have him. Why are we still hanging on to Elanga? Offers nothing. £1 million more and we get Memphis instead of weghorst. When I mentioned him everyone frowned on it but he’d offer more than being a donkey. I often agree with you but bugger me, give him a chance, we’re notneven a season in with this guy but I think we all realise we could do something with this guy if he’s backed, would he have signed wout if he had similar backing that pep has, absolutely not!!

was going to say exactly this I said this on the last match thread. He’s fucking awful Truly pointless. Not even a target man, slow as fuck as well.

On the funny side, City were so arrogant that they sold Jesus and Zinchenko to Pep’s buddy bc they weren’t a title threat.
They would never sell us a quality player for any price. The fact that this loss could make the difference to City losing title after we beat them takes the sting off a bit.

Antony shit again no right foot whatsoever, McT just crap as per, why get Weghorst and at least play to his strengths? Erikson can’t do 90 mins, we were well behind them practically all game for pace and energy. What are Weghorst's strengths? Well he’s 6 foot 6 I thought we’d be able to knock long balls to him to head on for Rasher, obviously not.

How this ended up feels like a kick in the teeth thanks to the dropped late points on Wednesday. If we'd have won there, we'd be feeling pretty good about taking Arsenal this close after beating City last week. I just hope we make the right squad decisions going forward. I appreciate we might not be able to do it all at once. Need more reinforcements in the middle of the park. Center forward is a massive weak point. The jury is still out on a number of recent signings, going back to the previous regime.

I dont blame Eric for the WW transfer, he knew the squad was paper thin but there is absolutely no excuse to keep playing him for 90 mins when we have garnacho waiting on the bench. We were effectively playing with 10 with him on for 90 mins
AWB back to his usual self, Antony is a one trick pony ,McT is so shit he cant replace casemiro even if there are 2 of him on the pitch.

63 touches for Arsenal inside our 18-yard box today, a record for any team in any match this season..

Put into context; Arteta three years in, EtH six months. Throw in a complete cluster fuck of owners, then let's see where we are next season.

We won’t even entertain offers for ours. That’s the difference. Clear the damn decks!!! If they aren’t good enough get rid and force the owners hands.

Poised off. Can’t wait for Casemiro to return. I hope Sancho finds some form, Antony expands his repertoire to more than one youtube showreel trick, and McTominay never plays for us again. Weghorst can just fuck off, I’d rather we played Joe Hugill.

This, ten Hag got it wrong today but overall we couldn't be further from the shithousery that was last season. I don't understand why we signed what's his name, what the fuck was the point of doing that. The worst thing about it, Burnley don't want him. Come on Radcliffe, buy this club and stop fucking around
