I just realised that I had no idea how we got on last night and had forgotten we were playing.
Looked up the score.
Yay.
Yep this.
I thought we were horrible first half, a better side would have really punished us. Central Midfield is a real concern for me, with Elneny & Xhaka in there neither of them excel in anything or offer us that extra bit of quality offensively or defensively. I also thought we looked really disorganised in Central Defence in the first half, Mustafi had an absolute stinker, honestly I don't really rate him, he's way too rash. We definitely improved second half and took control of the game as we functioned better as a unit. Despite that I look at this team and think Meh, for all the money we have spent I don't actually think we have improved at all in like 3 seasons!
Once again we show we just cannot handle the high press, and our victory last night is largely attributable to West Brom running out of steam.
We all know they had a stonewall penalty, I respect the honesty of Jay Rodriguez to get up and take his chance but surely once the advantage has been played the referee has the option to bring it back for the spot kick? (That's a genuine question)
Mustafi what was he playing at?
Elneny seemed to want to be occupying the same part of the pitch as Ramsey
We tended only to look dangerous when Kolasinac bombed forward (high press don't bother him)
Kolasinac is a magnificent player.
Such a shame that he was free and therefore doesn't count.
NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
Free players
Awlful signings.
That's not true
Our direction is round and round in circles.
I'll judge that at the end of the season
