    I thought they were poor in the first game didn’t really look like scoring.

    Arsenal 2 SL 0

    Its a game for the squad players again I expect a similar team to the Blackpool game which should be enough. Be good to see nketia geta game but does not seem to be in Uni’s plans at the moment.

    Dissapointing result.Statistically we had 15 attempts at goal,and they 1.But yesterday showed one thing which I have been doubting since a long time is when we’ve still not improved our aggression that has been lacking from the club since ages.You come up against a team,that is dirty and physical exactly what sporting were and it’s difficult to break them down.Some of the decisions were mind baffling.As it is welbeck’s injury was not bad enough for which he surely will be sidelined for a long time,I saw somewhere that someone stamped Ramsey’s calf and he didn’t do anything about it.A potentially dangerous tackle.Then Someone elbowed Miki clearly,which at the least warranted a yellow and then he even came on Miki’s face,but miki like a wuss ran away from him.Then There was an instance where one of our players was injured,and sporting continued playing even though it was in their own half they could’ve easily kicked the ball out.Now they are what they are,but none of our players even got upset.To add to all of that,some 50/50 decisions we don’t appeal for.

    I don’t care about the results,I’ve said it for a long time.I asked two things from our new manager.One is that we improve our performances and constantly dominate most teams.And second we master the art of knowing how to win.The first we are definitely imporoving but the second issue we seem the same old.Yes there are some players like Sokratis and lichsteiner who are aggressive and appeal but overall I just don’t see it in our squad.The ultimate desire shown from players,to win decisions and how to handle tough physical and dirty sides.We simply need to improve on that,I’m counting on Emery i’ll judge him at the end of the season Otherwise there would be no use.

    Dissapointing, yes…it does happen to all teams, we pretty much played a full second 11 though, my dissapointment was them not doing enough to push for the 1st 11.

    That said it is the first game since the first game of the season we didnt score.

    We are through so can relax and they were dirty gits yes, but it isnt for our players to go mental its for the ref to do his job properly

    onwards to Wolves, another big test, they had 3 bad results but still played well and they are a very decent team
