Arsenal (A) 28/5: Build-Up & Match Thread

[EnglishBob]

I know it's a dead rubber, but we more or less need a new team don't we? Can't defend, can't play the press, can't score.

[Lichens]

Should be 4

Getting a CB pairing that's even remotely close to Prem level would go a long, long way toward improving us.

We're playing a total void at the base of defense.

Get him in old gold next year.

 

[Jinky]

Raul has just lost any awareness of sharpness that he once had in and around the box. It’s sad to see.

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

Our last 3 away games stand at 11-0 against and it’s probably going to get worse before full time.

Pathetic.

So many people at this club need replacing.

HUGE! Puts us back to 13th!

Let's hope Julen doesn't end up being one!

I don't know how much we can analyze this specific result as half the spine of this XI won't or shouldn't be here next season.

Don't let Lopetegui off in that, he's the one who has continually sets us up to fail away from home. This doesn't mean I want him out

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

Don't let Lopetegui off in that, he's the one who has continually set us up to fail away from home

To be honest, at lot of my frustration is aimed at him right now.

 

[Del Woppio]

So, so, so bad.

 

[Alan]

Absolutely dreadful half, really.

We're playing essentially with no striker and no central defenders. Hard to be even half decent when you're down three men.

Poor Bueno is gonna need to ask Saka for his lunch money back after the game. Getting rinsed time and time again down the left.

 

[The Bear]

Just no need whatsoever for this team selection today, certainly at CB.

 

[Dire Wolf]

People still watching our game? Fair play to you. I switched off after the 3rd.

Ditto. Watching Everton now Leicester are in front.

For some reason I thought a draw would do Everton but forgot about Leicester's point at Newcastle.

Showing Shi what our "depth" really is, I guess.

The experimentation is fine in a dead rubber of a game, and hopefully shows Fosun that Brighton wasn't necessarily a fluke and that our squad is dangerously thin that it takes only a couple of absences and suddenly we're completely fucked.

 

[GLASGOWOLF]

That shirt pull on Traore not being called as a penalty is cheating. Nothing more, nothing less. Wimps for not stopping playing.

It's a joke, has been all season, it is a disgraceful

If that's true and I don't think it is, then it's a pricks trick the likes of Redknapp and Allardyce do
