Oddly, though we're playing like drains and levels of discontent are sky high again, all our recent fixtures have sold out well in advance of the match day, including - amazingly - the Europa Cup games.

DHD I'm going to the Europa match next Thursday. It think the attraction of those fixtures is seeing Martinelli in action.

It’s simply more fun. We play expansive football in those games with more freedom and it’s refreshing to watch young players doing their best.

I'll be very surprised if we get anything other than the usual dross tomorrow. If we fail to beat Soton, Emery shouldn't leave the ground as Arsenal manager.

Darren he shouldn't leave the ground as Arsenal manager even if we win. 3 points at home against the team in 19th place, if it happens? Seriously how can Raul/Edu not see that Emery is not up to it. Whatever you think of Levy's decision to tank Poch at least he MADE the decision.

Agree about Martinelli, tom - and on the point of playing more attractive football, TG.

It's going to be a bit odd on Thursday. No tickets have been sold to the Germans for some offence they've committed, so the away section will be empty. However as we all know, they're a resourceful lot so there'll be no sales to Red members either. Anyone identified as a Frankfurt supporter will be denied entry or ejected and any Arser who sells tickets to them will have their membership cancelled.

Could be lively if they score.

I also think he is working with a more talented squad than he had at Utd.


Not sure about that Darren. There are major structural problems with that Totts' squad - not the least being that three of their first choice back four are running down their contracts, as is their major creative talent.


Apparently part of his sales pitch to Levy was that he's been working on a new system of play with the French crowd for a number of months, Levy has bought into it. The 'structural problems' at Totts is the contract they gave to Kane, seems a lot of noses were put out of joint that they bust the wage cap for Kane and nobody else, hence the exodus.

There have certainly been rumours about Kane getting a massive pay hike that's created an enormous disparity between his contract and everyone else's. They've always been low payers and clearly, they're not prepared to raise the rest of the squad's salaries, hence the exodus. I can't see them resolving the impasse by throwing money at the problem - just not what they do.

What do you mean by "the French crowd" PG? Sounds intriguing.

For a time I actually felt pity for Mourinho which I thought I wasn't capable of. A lot of the swagger has gone. He knows he talked too much trash. No manager stays on top forever. Ferguson had a down pariod in 2004 and 2005. And had to fight harder than ever to get the titles he did after that with Chelsea and then City getting money.

Seems he's just poached 2 Lille coaches for his backroom staff. It'll be interesting to see what new system they've evolved.

I'm not worried about Mourinho at all. They might get a short term boost and they have a few easy fixtures to start with, but I don't see him taking them beyond the levels they achieved with Pochettino. The main reason for that is quite simply that I think Pochettino did a superb job and I can't see Mourinho surpassing that without some huge investment.

That’s 2 bad media interviews from the UK this week. In the other the Queen thought her own son was talking bollocks and sacked him. Maybe they should do the same to Emery.

Emery is our Moyes with the added bonus of falling out with his players. He's disastrous.

It feels like these managers that play high press, high intensity, running miles and miles football can only keep that up with the same set of players for a limited time. Players just can’t keep up that intensity seasonafter season. Either the manager moves on or you turn over the playing squad much more regularly.....or the manager changes tact
Even Liverpool aren’t playing anywhere near the intensity they did last season.

I’d love to experience a few seasons of that type of football though. At times, Liverpool, city and spurs have all adopted this high intensity football and it can swamp and blow away the opposition. And it is great to watch

Both Arsenal and Lacazette needed that goal badly, but we are looking like we an away team instead of a home team. Dominated on our own grounds.

The pace of the full backs and such doesn't allow Tierney to run around them as he could in the SPL. He has develop a new bag of tricks of beating his man.

Author:  Ash [ Sat Nov 23, 2019 3:56 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Supporters Forum

Bellerin Miles off the pace. Sokratis uncomfortable when out towards the left and has nearly cost us more than once. Lacazette good goal but trying a bit too hard not a lot coming off for him, yellow indicative of that. Tierney class player on the pitch, drop of the shoulder and he's gone. Most everything else just OK. Özil some nice touches and if he stays further up and links the play him to Aubameyang could win this, but he's mostly dicking about in a deep lying midfield position. We can't seem to create much and a second yellow for someone seems more likely than a goal right now. Aren't I Mr. Optimistic.

Fairly accurate though, and agree on Bellerin.

Agree, we should be playing a back 4. Take Bellerin or one of the centre backs off and get Pépé on.

The harsh reality is that we just aren't a very good side. Even mediocre teams cause us all sorts of problems and our attacking play is fairly limited in comparison to the top teams.

We are not finishing top four unless something major changes.

This is true. We look more like a team that will be fighting to finish top half, than one fighting to finish top 4.
