Arsenal (H) 12/11: Build-Up & Match Thread

[jd1981]

Now you're arguing against things that you've only imagined I've said.

No it’s kind of the thing that a. Wins games and b. Wins you points

 

[Jinky]

Very, very good from Adama & Podence. We’ve been very unlucky today.

Think we have to take the positives from this.

 

[t3ch]

Podence that woulda been nice lol

 

[Banjo]

This sky commentary team is a load of biased shit. Alan Smith obviously loves arsenal, but the moron on main comms is maddening.

 

[The Bear]

It was shit from Podence. Very rare you score from that sort of thing and he had players he could have cut the ball back to on the edge of the box.

I don't think we have played badly, we won't lose to other teams if we can play like this

 

[Del Woppio]

It hasn’t been dreadful. Plenty of positives for Julen and we’ve shown some genuine quality, but the same old problems keep happening.

Julen has a tough job ahead of him, though.

It's not been dreadful, but it was very much 'fa cup underdog' vibes, and so all the positives will be caveated by the shape and system, which is only really viable/acceptable against the top teams.

We should be favourites for relegation, we don't create and can't defend, because our squad is imbalanced and loaded with wide men who do fuck all, midfielders that don't score and full backs that can't cross

I agree we've played ok but we'll lose plenty of games playing like this where the scoreline says Wolves 0.

 

[Jinky]

Hugo has been excellent today. Guedes has been much improved. We’ve got a hell of a player in Boubacar.

I’d like us to get a better centre half in. I don’t trust Kilman/Collins as a partnership. And we clearly need a centre forward that can put the ball in the back of the net.

But I actually do think we’ve played well today and we’ve shown plenty of fight and quality. Julen has something to work with and I trust him to get the best from our players.

So let me guess this right the vast majority of you predicted a 3,4,5 goal hammering but 2-0 and you're slashing your wrists?

 

[WsWolf]

What a load of drivel. The difference a manager makes is huge. It's not just about spending.

A manager not a miracle worker. We have so little quality going forward it's unbelievable.

Added to that we can't track basic runners, this could have been 5 easily. Kidding yourself if you think we have enough quality to win 8/9 more games.

The depression is the season so far the time for a “good effort” has long gone

Slashing my wrists? Are you kidding me?

I’m a masochist, I haven’t had such a pleasurable a season since 2012.

 

[Wolftone]

Best we've played all season. Lots to like about this performance.

 

[The Bear]

FT.

Verdict thread is up. This will close soon.

 

[GLASGOWOLF]

It is obvious we are missing a focal point, we need some movement up top.

Guedes is showing some signs
Traore is not working hard back to his own goal.
Bueno, and Boubacar look quality players

Centre half and forward required

 

[Paul]

Ha not before I have the last............................................
