stevieb Posted September 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 Three points , WBA should have had a pen , but Arsenal could have had two in the first half , plenty of the ball , still shaky at the back , but second half bossed the game , a win is a win up the table as well but don't think the top three at present have to much to worry about , pub cup Thursday , nice couple days out .

Mangle Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 "Pub Cup". Why always the pub cup? Tell Man Utd that, who are presently in the CL because of it. Yes, I know that everyone wants to be in the CL. But come on. It is Arsenal's level right now. In fact, they have a better chance of winning it than the CL. No chance for the Gunners in the CL at the moment, even if they were in it. I would usually be hopeful they had a "punchers chance", but I don't think they would have that this season. Let's hope for a good October, with opposition such as Brighton, Watford, Everton and Swansea in the PL, Norwich in the EFL and some team I have never heard of in the EL.

And we didn't , thought it was a soft penalty , and 3rd was off side only watched second half as traveling back from Bridgewater Carnival , but city always look dangerous , Lacazette scores and Wilshire's slowly returning to fitness and he makes a difference to the style of play , will be a big ask to make champs league this season ( qualifying ) and a long way from the title at present .

Mangle Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Well done to Man Utd today. I thought both teams played well, and it was a great game to watch. A lot of skill, graft and determination shown by both sets of players. Extremely disappointed with the result, but hey ho. It’s where Arsenal are at the moment. On another day, it could have been a win. Today they lost. Onwards and upwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevieb Posted December 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 Watched a few minutes before I went out , saw kos give the ball away for the first , what ever happened to don't play the ball across field when defending , easy interception then goal , basic defending. Utd looked up for it , then I went out and had to hear the result from someone else , disappointing result . And agree with mangle this is where The Arsenal are at present .

Mangle Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 I agree on the whole, Arsenal were the "better team", but in reality, that means nothing. United played to their strengths, rode their luck at times, but were lethal in breakaways and attacking in general. Arsenal have a defensive vulnerability, as clearly showed up on Saturday. We are all fighting over the places, as City continue to prove they are the ones to beat. The title is theirs to lose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevieb Posted December 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 Loads of possession Again but....... Caught cold again defensively yet again , why don't the players / coaches learn , could have been three down in 10 mins , thank goodness for Girouds header , Credit to Southampton defensively they were exceptional and on the break could have added to their early goal hitting the bar late on , only nine goals scored away from home this season and five of those were against Everton . Above spuds at the moment by a point small consolation . Where has the old Arsenal gone , free flowing attacking football and tight at the back .

stevieb Posted December 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 The only plus this week was jack Wilshire. Xhaka , how much longer can he start . He keeps giving the ball away , but so does Sanchez 32 times against Southampton and god knows how many against the Hammers , and we could have lost late on when the bar saved us , somebody have a shot , no wonder they have loads of possession they pass the ball to death and at such a slow pace , teams get back behind the ball . Maitland had a good game which was a bonus and put a couple of crosses into the box , but no one else did Groud was up top but nobody else put the ball into the box . So frustrating to watch at the moment who would be a gooner . ????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevieb Posted December 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 5 hours ago, Keith B said: Has Wenger lost the plot stevie, or perhaps the players don't want to play for him anymore ? I think there are several factors involved in my own opinion , some players not up to playing for a club like Arsenal , coming with big wages but not producing on the pitch , Arsene has favourites and will keep playing them even when off form . Arsene has lost touch with the way football has moved on he was once the man every club copied with his stretching , diet supplements which he brought to the English game . Contracts more down to the money men letting the likes of ozil, sanche,s ect to run down their contracts . Not ruthless enough in front of goal. And being defensively naive . Arsene is the most successful manager in the clubs history and personally I want him to leave with dignity perhaps he should have stepped down after the FA cup Final . Whoever takes over when he eventually steps down ,has a big job on their hands and will take a while to wake up the players to what it means to be at the club . There is no easy fix at the moment .

stevieb Posted December 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2017 A while back , I think it was on sky , can't remember which pundits were involved but there was a consensus of opinion that Arsenal are still a big job and if / when Arsene retires many good managers would be interested in taking over as they are still classed as a big club . A change will be needed when it happens ,but the board will need to back whoever comes in . I am afraid money needs to be invested to push the club on in the league to challenge the city's , Utd , chelski . I think when Arsene leaves it will be only then that he will be appreciated on what he has done for Arsenal , he goes down as their greatest manager , the main problem recently is lack of league success or sustained push to challenge .
