Europa League Final Autopsy

[Marc Overmars]

This club.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fuck them.

[SMatthews]

Anyone think we need to improve the defence for next season?

[Chippy]

Fuck them.

Too right. Fucking useless.
One more season for Dick Emery to see if he can improve the zombies left behind by Wenger.
All we need now is those cunts down the road to win the CL. FFS.

[Marc Overmars]

We were outclassed in truth, it wasn't even a contest in the second half. The sad thing is I really had high hopes for tonight but of course this flimsy, sorry excuse of a team once again proves itself to be a joke.

Ozil put in his most definitive performance yet. A performance that defines every reason why he should be sold.

The last 2 months of the season have been bullshit and Emery needs to carry the can for the collapse in the league and now this. Not good at all and his job ought to be on the line next season now.

Fuck the lot of them. I wouldn't be sorry to see any of them go except for an obvious few.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Just stay in Baku.

Thought we had a good chance given Emerys' record in the EL, so really disappointed with this, it's just more of the same really another beating when it matters, Chelsea outclassed us.

In truth this team needs to be dismantled entirely, there's probably about 5 -6 players worth keeping, Leno, Torreira, Aubameyang, Lacazette, Bellerin and Guendouzi, the rest can be sold and with them hopefully all that's left of this bottling mentality that came about with the previous administration.

Frankly this season has been poor, we've been rubbish in the league when it mattered and if we're honest average in the EL as well losing games against nobodies.

The manager has to take some blame as well, not enough has changed and the collapse at the end of this season has been unacceptable, personally I'm not impressed with Emery he's got a lot to prove and I'm not sure he's up to the job, his job should definitely be at risk as this season has been a failiure and yet the guys at the top are telling us they're delighted with him, what kind of message does that send out.

Seems to me Emery might get years like his predecessor based on those words, only at Arsenal do you need to achieve nothing to keep your job, incidentally this was Sarris' first ever trophy, another first for us....

Right now this is a sorry excuse for a football club.

[Mac76]

I just hope Rail, Vinai use this to explain to the Kroenkes why we need significant investment, ironically the 4-1 could help us in that way, but it's still a really shit and embarassing result

All that's left is to pray for a Liverpool victory in the CL

[Marc Overmars]

The hierarchy won’t do shit.

This club might be finished on a competitive level for the next decade.

Frankly, we got what we deserved, another humiliation for the whole world to bear witness to.

To think we waited so many years for another European final just to make ourselves look like muppets. To think I laughed so hard at Watford !

We don't learn lessons at Arsenal, we never do, and anytime people try to point out our frailties we get all defensive and high mighty; just like a lot of us did to Cech for pointing out the obvious this week.

As for the match, Emery started our strongest team (except for maybe Bellerin) and that fact alone should scare all of us.

Tactically he was a bit slow today, he should have responded with changes once we went one down but to be honest, no matter how I play it in my head, I can't see these bunch of players and this manager winning that match and carrying the cup with the CL spot; it would be to great a leap for their fragile minds to fathom. I dont think Chelsea were that much better than us on the day, but hey, big clubs just do enough to win, especially when it matters.

So again we stare at dissappointment like we have been doing since Barca, our last great hurrah... we were like 20 mins away from glory with only 10 men against the best team in the world- compare that to losing 4-1 against a deflated Chelsea with a manager struggling to keep his job despite wrapping up CL football..... wow, these are really dark times at Arsenal FC.
