£35m gives you Mustafi…
How he can play in the NT is beyond me. Completly useless defender. It also seems like Chambers is learning all Mustafis tricks.
Just when i wrote that the defence shows a high standard again with a complete cock up to give Newcastle the lead haha
April 15, 2018 at 3:27 pm #1624005This only tactic with sideways passing and bypass. And if it doesnt work. Back to goallie and let him kick the ball to random midfielder. That is our only tactic we do the last…. let me see. The last 7 freaking years.
This tactic would work wonders for 10 years ago, but now. Usually our opponent get the ball.
No wonder every single opponent just press our players to commit that fault and waiting in our half.April 15, 2018 at 3:28 pm #1624008Can we bring back Adams and Keown as CB??
I actually think they would be better than what we have
April 15, 2018 at 3:33 pm #16240150 points away in the PL in 2018!!!!
Yes zero zero zero…
19 teams has managed at least one point away from home in 2018.
Mindblowing and still fans think that Wenger should stay.. just wow
April 15, 2018 at 3:33 pm #1624016We need defenders who are not afraid to shout and command the defense. Our only good defender is Nacho Monreal.
April 15, 2018 at 3:43 pm #1624019I made a point of defending our younger lads (Chambers and Holding) in a previous post suggesting how are they to improve when they are playing with inept defenders. Keown and Adams would have taught them far more than Wenger ever could (not that he even can) and they would at least learn basics. Mustafi is pants and always has been. He was a panic buy and available. Just like a lot of Wenger signings. These threads all point to one big elephant in the room and that is until the dictator has gone, our defense will remain shit. So any promising players we have will either learn to be a pushover with no backbone, or they will be played out of position.
April 15, 2018 at 4:22 pm #1624041The prior postings say it all.
No defense, no idea, no bottle and no communication.Wenger is hanging on a Europa league thread. However, with this type of tactical and mental stupidity, we will never progress further.
The league position, soon to be below Burnley, is a true indication of the worth of this once proud club.
If this manager continues next season, God help. We will be relegated.
I don’t care if he wins the bloody world cup this season. He must go. A clean out of the rubbish must go with him.
If Arsenal are to restore the pride of North London tag. Then Wenger must go south, with Bould in tow. NOW.Very unhappy, Gooner for life.
April 15, 2018 at 11:10 pm #1624186Just saw the post match interview on MOTD2 and again that smirk appears. What the fk does he have to smile about… oh yeah.. he’s untouchable, gets pay rises for piss poor management. Taking us for a bunch of mugs.
April 15, 2018 at 11:45 pm #1624193So we lose a game and the first thing you come and read on here is that someone is being made a scapegoat.So it’s mustafi again now?This guy is a world cup winner.Not just sitting on the bench,he played as a started at right back if I remember correctly.He’s been fantastic at times this season,and poor on occasions as well.But that dosen’t make him useless because even by those standards he’s been better than most.Xhaka was made a scapgoat for most of the season until the same people finally realized we have been clueless without him in midfield in the past few games.
Anyhow,this is not about blaming it on one individual player,there are two biggest problems and that is this careless board and this inept manager.This has by far been wenger’s worst season in management,he’s not even in the top 100 managers in the world.He’s massively underachieving.Forget the results,in our scenario it dosen’t matter the results because we’re neither going to win the PL nor the CL.It’s the performances I base my judgment on.Absolute dogshit throughout the season.We’ve played teams like WBA and Bournemouth and they’ve had just as many attempts as us and in some cases a little fewer.Either how their’s have been more clear cut.While it’s almost like we play to “make” statistics.We are hardly ever dominating.There’s not a single time i’ve seen this team and said wow,and even if we’ve given that one off good performance deep inside you know it’s a lie and it’s all for show.Overall,we’re a disgraceful team to watch.There seems to be no anger within the team when we lose or fail to win.A decade ago there were pizzas flying around in the dressing rooms,today these players seem least bothered.No passion,no aggression.They simply don’t seem to care enough.And it all stems from the lack of expectation created by the board and manager.
Wenger has made some absolutely horrible decisions over the years but this year tops it all.Sold some very good players who are playing better at other clubs.Giroud,walcott,ox no need to sell them they offered us something our current players can’t.coqueling was also a very poor decision to sell him.The list keeps going on.He’s hardly replaced these players.I mean how the hell can you afford to start nobody’s like maitland niles and willock in a PL game.Don’t get me wrong I’m not having a go at them but you simply can’t put your trust in youngsters in today’s era.Then you have chambers and holding two absolute disasters.Have they ever done anything to show any promise at all?We keep on conceding goals and lose games when they play.Not good enough,unacceptable.This manager has truly destroyed this club.
April 16, 2018 at 7:44 am #1624242Used to be that when Wenger screwed up, it was through incompetence or arrogance, but it’s starting to look like he’s doing it deliberately, as though he’s trying to send a message to us, the board, or probably both.
We really couldn’t be worse off if we had no manager at all.
April 16, 2018 at 10:28 am #1624331Tso even Mertesacker is a World Cup winner so that tells you something.
Mustafi has been caught twice with the same mistake now and when you look at him over the season he has for sure done some good games. But the major part of the season he has been pretty poor making a lot of rash challenges that he frequently misses and then there is nobody behind him.
Is he the only one no he is not the rest of the defence is pretty much shit all together bar Monreal. Even you must admit that when Slimane just slipped past Mustafi when a rash challenge was made looked pretty stupid. It actually made me laugh seeing him flopping around the grass and the ball being nowhere near him.
April 16, 2018 at 12:23 pm #1624392Firstly it was not our first choice team but even with the 2nd choice we should have done better. Yet again loads of possession and nothing to show for it at least we had some shots. On the performances, Chambers has been ok when playing centre back he is no right back. Holding is ok in a back three when he is on the right side. On the left he is poor and has had a poor season. Iwobi is much better on the right of a front three but is still like a poor version of Stirling once he gets in the box its Jigsaw! Not sure Willock is going to make it seen him quiet a few times now and don’t see his ability apart from being a good athlete. Mustafi is erratic he has had some good games for us but we could do with at least two new centre halfs. Xhaka has played better lately and I like him and think its still worth pursuing. and lastly Elneny has been good this season but not sure he will ever be a first choice player. We are obviously not bothered about the league hence we put that team out so lets hope we win the Europa and make it worth it.
April 16, 2018 at 12:33 pm #1624400muffler – I knew someone would mention mertesacker.Again If i’m right mertesacker played three games(Started) in that world cup,and germany conceded in all those games.In the remaining games when he didn’t start,they kept clean sheets in all of them.As for mustafi,he’s a good defender.He was chased by 3 top seria clubs last season when we refused to sell him.If he were to leave,it’d be to a good club.
The point i’m making here is stop singling people out,yet again.The single biggest problem is wenger and the board.Wenger dosen’t know how to manager anymore.Almost everyone regresses under him.And worst of all there seems to be no passion or desire within the team.When i see Even liverpool and spurs doing so so well,It is hopeless in this club’s case.just about everything.We are not in their category anymore and we will be competing with the likes of everton etc if we already aren’t.
April 16, 2018 at 8:56 pm #1624606Hard not to single out someone with such a performance though.
For me its nothing i have just seen from Mustafi as it was visible last season as well.
When a player makes a mistake which does happen because nobody is perfect by any means then he should own up to it. What i have seen on more than one occassion is that he blames others when he clearly is at fault.
He might be better under a new manager no argument there but to escape blame for the mistakes he made for the goals no way. Have i made him a scapegoat for all defensive problems no i have not i called him useless when he was at fault.
He has experience but he is no Adams which is the leader we miss at the back especially with Wenger in charge.
