TheolderIgetthebetterIwas Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 To inconsistent, half the sods need to man up and earn their wages. Although I'm relatively happy with what we are doing thus far, it could have been so, so better. I expected more this year. Win the league, finish above assenhole, beat assenhole every time, plus all the rest = ah well, we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mangle Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Watching Man City try to keep up with Barcelona last night was something, and I think great credit is due to City for coming away with a 2-1 defeat. If Arsenal had played Barca last night, on tonight's performance, they would have been destroyed. Terrible performance tonight from Arsenal. Not sure how else to describe that. Got it all to do now!!

Mangle Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 I do not have Sky either. Only really saw the 2nd half (streamed it on the laptop). Not sure what went wrong. Giroud missed a couple of golden opportunities, one was virtually an open goal, 8 yards out, blasted miles over the bar. Another clear header, missed by miles. Welbeck had a shot blocked from going in the goal by Walcott (over the bar - goal kick). So we did have some possession and chances, but defensively, totally naïve. Going forward, lose the ball, BFG only defender against pace, not a chance! Didn't see 1st half, and their first goal, but at 0-1, we were controlling the start to the second half. But, on about 55 mins, were must have had 9 players in and around the opposition penalty area, play breaks to Monaco, and they run up the other end and score. Why lose the shape as badly as that? Awful. Gibbs was off-form, and only passed the ball backwards. Just off the pace of the game. At 2 nil, Monaco controlled things, very relaxed, comfortable on the ball. Arsenal chased, and looked more ragged as it went on. then, The Ox pulls a great goal back, only to then lose possession himself with 30 seconds to go, and they run up the other end (again) with no defence to worry about, and score. Can't fathom it. Great players on show, not firing together at all. I actually still think we can do it. The team has some great players in it, and I think they will be hard pushed to put another performance in quite as lacklustre as that. But the smart money is on Monaco to progress!

Mangle Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Fair assessment. As I say, missed the first half, but from what I did see, Arsenal could have won had they put their (relatively easy) chances away. But they didn't. It did get worse as it went on. A bit desperate. Cazorla was good, Gibbs awful, Mertesacker nightmare as you say, Koschelny all over the place. Just not up for it on the night, when it mattered.

No coincidence that since David Dean was ousted we have not won a title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevieb Posted February 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 Good news is we have 139 million in the bank. Hmmmm, where should we spend it??? sorry homer have I missed something? ,some papers ( paper talk) say there is 50 mill to spend on players ? I think that would buy one decent striker , would have thought there is more the shirt sponsorship, revenue from the emirates,the sky money ,various other deals ?,and of course, we have Stan who took 3 million out last year ,get rid let usmanov buy him out at least he is a fan ,being a good businessmen the players and staff would have to up their game.

ArsenalHomer Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 According to Arseblog as of November 30, 2014 they have 138.8 cash reserves.

stevieb Posted February 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Silent Stan seems to only turn up at the club for the agm, usmanov is at most home matches and they won't allow him on the board ,perhaps because he was backed by David Dein ,who was some how ousted ,the man who brought Arsene to Highbury ,negotiated for Denis Berkamp among many others to the club ,when he was on board the club were winning trophies ,coincidence? I don't think so ,now we have gazides a man who makes money for Stan of the USA ,but can't bring a trophy to the club, great being in the black but the trophy cabinet is a bit bare.

About Arsene .that maybe he has lost that winning mentality .like all fans we want to win everything. Still a long way to go till the end of season .and no trophies yet ..the players have belief.fingers crossed they.can turn the result on its head against Monacco .Arsene has a great legacy at Arsenal .the Emirates .the training facilities at Colony .a great style of football .Henry.Viera .Pires among many who has graced the club ..I hope he can win some more .but he is getting older .perhaps. his greatest legacy is still to come ?
