By the way Marcus today was superb. Never want to read in here again that he’s not “world class”

63 touches for Arsenal inside our 18-yard box today, a record for any team in any match this season.. Shocking statistic. Without Case we are fucking lost. |

Is pellestri that much worst than Antony?
I am actually fuming that 80 million went on him. Money that could have been used to get 2 players. Fuming fuming fuming.
Sort that right foot out!

Let’s remain civil please. Never worry Stew. Some people don't like the truth. Doesn't bother me. Don't take the piss. |

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. They don’t and never have. Should have been run out of town years ago. |

Calmed down a bit. Always tough to take conceding late, especially twice in a week so emotions can be red hot. We've still made some great progress and 4th is in sight. We simply weren't going to challenge for a title as we still have a load of shit in the squad. You can't polish a turd. Arsenal had a full week off and our players were gassed by the end. In fact, they have looked gassed the last couple of weeks. It's game after game at the moment which is crap with what we have outside our best 11. Just need to hang on, hopefully get top 4 and a trophy and build from there.

If ETH can even get us talking about a title, if only briefly after being here for 6 months and still with loads of shite in the squad, give him two or three seasons with proper backing and we will win the league again, I'm sure of it.

Not having Newcastle finish ahead of us. League cup is a must win and the Europa would be welcome |

Erik has some serious egg on his face mouthing off about the terrible signings of previous managers when Antony and Weghorst look as bad as anything we've signed in the past.
I know he had a lack of funds in January. But he should have at least looked into selling Elanga, Scotty and Maguire to raise some funds instead of signing off on Weghorst. Shaw can cover at CB. Martinez can cover at CDM.
Also what was he thinking playing Casemiro against Crystal Palace? We needed Casemiro on the pitch today to give us a foothold in the game.
And it is bad enough he signed Weghorst in the first place. But to start him against Arsenal was suicidal. Rashford could have done just fine upfront especially as most of our chances were on the counter and Garnacho would have caused Arsenal no end of problems on the left.
Also agree with everyone that Eriksen runs out of gas halfway through the big games. Arsenal are obviously trying to emulate Manchester City so are also capable of running the show if you lose your composure and give them too much time and space. Is there no way we can also look into loaning Camavinga?
But it is what it is. I never took our title chances seriously. We needed to sign a quality striker and midfielder to give us a hope in hell and instead we ended up with Weghorst. And Erik is making a bad situation is worse with some of his recent selection decisions.
The main objectives this season are to comfortably secure top 4 and win at least one of the domestic cups. That gives us a good base to continue the rebuild in the summer under new ownership.

McTominay is a headless chicken, hence us being quite open. I don't think it is a coincidence those last twenty minutes we were chasing shadows as the Palace game would have had an impact on our energy levels. |

He`s not suddenly going to start using his right foot that should have been worked on years ago even though he`s only 23, a right winger that cant cross with his right for 85M euros? ETH fucked up there, I wanted to give Weggie the benefit of the doubt too after one game but he looks like a lump of shit. Pellestri needs to be given his chance now. |

How the fuck do you know he hasn’t looked in to selling the players mentioned, it quite simply isn’t that simple to say sell him him and him and sign him, we need new owners with dollar to start a fresh from there |

Erik needs to remember that the Premier League is far less forgiving than the Dutch League. At Ajax you can get away with a showboating one trick pony like Antony out wide and get by with a lump like Weghorst. But in the Premier League they simply won't do.
Rehabilitation of Sancho needs to be fast tracked. Give him a run of games.
And while it would be painful to change things when Marcus is in the form of his life we need to play him upfront when Martial is injured and play Garnacho on the left. Anything but Weghorst.
