KaKa

worked his arse off today.

pointless having a player like him, but then surrounding him with dross.

 

Yep. It's amazing that he is actually the problem according to some, I mean of all things to blame!

 

He is a part of one of our biggest problems which is that we seem to have no forward player that knows how to put the ball on the net.

I disagree. I think we have enough of them more likely to put the ball on the net rather than in it!

Swapped this loveable Mexican Magician for a fucking Brazilian Donkey!

Mexican?!  :lol:

It's amazing really, we employ 3 merry go round English managers and are utter bilge.

 

We employ a fantastic Champions League and multi trophy winning manager, and are professional and look like a proper team and club.

 

Owner says, lets go back to option 1 for shit and giggles, honestly it's like common sense doesn't exist 

 

MA just looks at results and positions i.e. just don't get relegated.

 

Don't think he could actually appreciate the work Rafa did and how good the team was beginning to look, even with minimum investment.

 

He's daft.

 

MA doesn't like being told what to do because since he's done well in the business world, he knows everything.

Yes, you are absolutely right.

However, I genuinely don't think he knows what he is looking at when he watches a game i.e. what indicates the team is playing well or not. He just want to know if we won or lost and whether we will be staying up or not.

He's not a football person I don't think.

My goodness

34 years old.

They'll need to not crumble in the second half again.  They're playing well, but it is 45 minutes only.

 

Maguire :lol:

Even if they do crumble, you can already see the seeds being sown. Bodes very well for them going forward. It's a totally different direction and approach to their play now and it really suits the players they have. They'll only continue to build on things from here.

Ozil is a pure joy to watch. Most graceful player in the league imo.

 

Oh ... Ozil is definitely back. Such a simple adjustment too.

 

The wide players are really wide and it has really opened up the pitch for both him and even Xhaka. They now have so much more time and space to use the ball and influence the game.

 

Arteta is going to be so good, and Arsenal are going to be on their way. Playing some wonderful stuff with so much more confidence already.

 

Yeah, they have looked fantastic throughout the team this half. Nice to see Pepe building confidence and showing his ability.

 

This is what a team gaining confidence through being instructed well by a manager looks like. From tentative and nervy to inspired and forthright.

Absolutely man, absolutely.

Arsenal beating a mid-table team = they're back   Calm down commentators, it's just Man Utd ffs.

Put the game on man. It's not just about the result for goodness sake. The perfromance has been outrageously good, and considering how they were playing just a few games ago and pretty much all season it's bloody impressive.

My goodness Arsenal are flying around the pitch both defensively and offensively.

I can't even imagine what it would be like if we had a team perform like this. I'd be absolutely out of it

Sokratis 2- 0. Gunners look delicious.

Leicester's main tactic in this match was to have Kelechi and Ayoze press very high up the pitch. Playing a long, slow ball across the entirety of the penalty box when there are two quick forwards aggressively pressing all match long is suicidal play. It does not matter if you are Barcelona, the pass is crazy in that situation. Look at the position of the players. Lejeune has made a 30+ yard pass with both forwards turned in his direction immediately ready to chase. The best possible result is Schar having to clear or play it to the keeper as Perez will be harrying him.

 

When leicesters front players pressed their whole team pushed up the pitch.  Which meant they won more second balls

When our front two or three pressed the rest of the team retreated to our 18 yard box creating massive gaps

 

Bruce is worse than shit

We can all see these sorts of things.

Are they not reviewing the games and noticing these things and making the necessary changes?

How incompetent are these folks man?

Man ... Pepe has looked brilliant. Really enjoying himself coming in from that really wide position.

Ozil is a pure joy to watch. Most graceful player in the league imo.

Holy smokes Pepe just destroyed Shaw ...

Arsenal just look so much better going forward.

Lovely goal for Pepe after good play from Auba and Ozil in the build up.

Love Ayoze 

Here's what is incredibly fascinating about the whole thing ... is how we continuously hoof the ball under absolutely zero pressure but then literally in our own box with the other teams two forwards pressing, that is when we decide to play the ball about along the ground and across our box.

 

We're so bloody infuriating and ridiculous it's untrue.

Are you still enjoying the football KaKa?  We are not safe from relegation.  I hope I am wrong.

I haven't enjoyed it much at all. See my posts on all of the earlier games. Our performances have been disgusting.

I was briefly excited by actually having two upfront just so we wouldn't look so toothless and perhaps Joelinton could then have a bit more success and gain some form.

Amazingly the back end of the team has now fallen out completely and so we cannot even stay in games long enough to make anything even happen upfront now anyway.

It's a disgrace.

I used to think their own men would never get sacked but McClaren proved that wrong. Bruce will always be vulnerable providing Allardyce is out of work.

 

Hopefully Pardew does well and a rush on dodgy PFM starts up.

Yes of course. So we can just bring him back to continue on where he left off.

Worst 1 v 1 I’ve ever seen

Think I gave up on the guy after that

I literally felt something inside me die.

I like him and think in a more professional setup and club he has a lot of tools that can be refined and developed into a quality player.

It will never happen here though. He will likely become a source of ridicule and will leave a broken man.

Solanke is cursed man

Feel sick for the guy.

He's daft.

This guy is still at the club? 

We're really going to give this guy a new deal?!

This club is a joke. He is so wasteful with the ball and leaves us a man short defensively.

Was so irritating how people started getting excited about him because of a few goals. He is a liability.

Why has Howe shunted Fraser out of the team this season?! And started playing this 4-4-2 so often that just hasn't worked for them? So bizarre.

 

Think it may be due to Fraser not signing a new contract - on a free in summer and head is probs elsewhere?

Ah, right. Seems a bit irresponsible as it is sending them down.

Well, he's not got the 8 year deal yet.

 

 

That still hasn't ran out by the way.

 

My God 

 

That sewer rat would have still been skulking around the place claiming we play great attacking football.

 

The scary thing is we've managed to give the job to 4 men since, and 3 of them have found a way to be even worse. 

It's all so ridiculous
