  1. Don't like hating on players, but he is such a lightweight from what we've seen. Can't press, never wins the ball and can't hold possession.
  2. Not worried about this season, but we could well be like Everton next season. On paper Everton are easily a top-half side. Quite shocking they are in a relegation scrap. We can't be complacent going into next season!
  3. With all the hi-tech sports science would think the coaching staff would catch this. Why is he being rewarded with 90 minutes?
  4. Definitely not asking for him to get sacked. Just really worried about what I am seeing on the pitch in terms of tactics and player performance. This should be at least a solid mid-table side.
  5. Did not see one bit of the pace he supposedly is known for. Not sure how we can risk giving him a run of games if he brings next to nil over 90 minutes.
  6. Guess you don't need 11 of your own players to turn things around.
  7. Not seeing anything to hold on to. Team looks lost. They have no clue how to get the ball out of the back. Midfield is invisible. Press is inept.
  8. Really poor half. Other than the cross at the end looked like a headless chicken out there. Has no clue how to press.
  9. Totally different level than us, but Barcelona's revival under Xavi and Aubameyang's resurgence from an outcast at Arsenal goes to show it's not just about buying new players. Team, shape, tactics and personnel make a difference
  10. We beat all the "Big 6" clubs other than ManCity under DS. Losses to higher ranked teams should not be automatically dismissed. Even in losses you have good performances and bad ones. Today was really bad.
  11. Didn't think Arsenal played like world beaters. We were really poor. With the individuals we have, it perplexes me how we can't pass out of the back or get a shot on target. That is on the coaching staff.
  12. Lacks any bite. Always lose 50-50 balls. Can't string passes together. Needs a shakeup this summer.
  13. If let's say El Ghazi put in the same performances as Ramsey, people would be far more critical.
  14. He has a big halo over him because of his end product, his youth and the fact that he came from the Academy, but his overall performances have been pretty poor the last few matches. Wouldn't hurt if he sits down for a match or two. Arsenal did it with Smith-Rowe, their leading scorer. But seems like Gerard has a play them until they collapse attitude.
  15. Our whole is less than the sum of our parts. Really frustrating because with the players we have we should not be struggling to bring the ball across the halfway line or get a shot on target. SG needs to figure it out.
  16. Awful and frustrating half. Our press was absolutely toothless for the first 30 minutes and we basically put out the red carpet for Arsenal to attack us. How a team with Coutinho, Buendia, Luiz, McGinn and Ramsey cannot pass it out of the back is shocking. We must be the absolute worst team when in this area in the entire league.
  17. Can't see us getting more than 12 pts (3 wins and 3 draws) in our last 10. A total of 48pts normally sits around 11th or 12th in the table.
  18. Same goal total as Grealish from last season. Needs to improve his assist totals.
  19. Well we did lose and he did not change things up when we had played a match less than 72 hours earlier.
  20. Most of us called him out on bombing the fullbacks forward and he corrected. Hopefully next he'll learn to rotate his squad and use his bench earlier.
  21. Think he should have started. But having used a substitute for Dinge can understand Bailey and Buendia coming in later in the match.
  22. We've found our place in the league and it's basically between 12th and 9th as we are currently constructed.
  23. For where we want to go as a club - and looking at our current squad depth, feel you need to have some sort of rotation system. Would not say this if we had a bunch of kids or the likes of Taylor/Hourihane on the bench.
  24. Hard to complain with the lineup. My worry is that when you dont rotate players you'll start having issues keeping the squad happy and recruiting players. Players basically are being sent a message that their chance will only come when there is a suspension or injury.
