ikri Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Well that was as dreadful as expected. Who'd have guessed that playing 2 deep-lying midfielders, 1 winger & 3 forwards wouldn't help in getting the ball up the pitch and would result in Arsenal continually getting the time and space to do whatever they wanted with the ball. It's like the pile of shite managing us believes that if you play 3 forwards they'll magically get the ball all on their own. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookidge Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 We didn't play fairly well 1st half, it was more that Arsenal were terrible and didn't do what they should and could have. We're the worst team I've ever seen in the Premier League right now, ever. I do recall a few darlow saves.. that explains it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 It just feels like our squad isn't good enough to play anything but a defensive game. Ultimately, the new approach didn't work. We still can't keep hold of the ball, and we don't put pressure on the opposition when they have it. I don't like having a go at Joelinton, because his attitude is always good, but he loses the ball so often when he shouldn't, often in promising situations.

andyc35i Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 A manager with any reasonable idea about the modern game would get more from this team. It’s easy to blame the players and that’s all these pundits do Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottledDog Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 “They’ve got poor players, they’re poor defensively and poor going forward, it’s tough for Steve” They weren't all godawful players at the start of the season, and the players we brought in were pretty well rated (some said the very best we could hope for), so how come, now Bruce is under the spotlight, we suddenly have the shittest players imaginable? Fuck off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalmintheChaos Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 “They’ve got poor players, they’re poor defensively and poor going forward, it’s tough for Steve” He is right as I’ve said we are largely a squad of championship players, the likes of Joelinton, Almiron, Murphy etc are not decent premier league players and I would argue we don’t have a single serviceable central midfield pairing at the club. Any new manager would have a huge job on their hands still and it would still be shit to watch. And I’m the biggest Bruce hater going. New owner is the only answer as the club is a shambles top to bottom. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyc35i Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 My 65 year old mother understands that you can’t play Joelinton as a left winger. He offers nothing in that position, he doesn’t track back and doesn’t do anything going forward Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Ian Wright more upset than Shearer (who is obviously fucking seething inside) "Normally you like to joke with a win to your rival, it's not funny though. I have a lot of friends that are Newcastle fans, I would like to tease Alan about the result. I can't do that. I'm serious, I can't tease Alan when they play like that. It's not funny (cue host chuckle).. No I'm dead serious. Shearer - "It's ok, I'm not your friend." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
