We are fucking clowns
2-2 Mateta, what a goal.
Mateta 2-2
Total fuck up
Dozy as fuck from Saliba. Again.
Consistent brain farts like this is why I keep saying Gabriel is the better defender.
Saliba might be a physical phenomenon, but he has got a lot to learn about concentration in key moments.
Fucking obvious. This has been a disgraceful non-performance and Raya has been shite all game, and for the past few weeks in fairness. His fucking about at the back will be meat and drink for PSG. A lazy, undisciplined outing that serves no purpose other than to break momentum. Odegard has been awful over the last couple of games too. His fifty touches every time with zero end product. These are such easy to fix problems. We now also know Partey is being told to play shit football at 1mph.
It was just so unnecessary.
Trying to pass the ball back and forth 10 times when all you need to do is clear it.
Fucking brainless as fuck
I can't fucking stand it when games are treated with such little seriousness. It's totally unprofessional. A lot easier to let the standard drop than pick it up again.
I am not going to even get started on Arteta...he watched the team sleepwalk through the whole match and felt no need to alter his game plan till its too late as usual.
Raya is an accident not just waiting to happen, but is guaranteed. His distribution is comical.Quote:

Fucking disgraceful in my book.
It’s like they’ve adopted the ‘bigger fish to fry attitude’ - well cut that shit out you arseholes, you’ve won nothing yet!
Playing Sterling who is clearly dead was a disgrace as well. Nwaneri was sat there and could do with the minutesQuote:

We’re not even doing the bare minimum anymore. At this rate we’ll be third or even lower.Quote:

Just look at our points tally, we’re about 30 off where we finished last season and no where near reaching that.
It’s like the end of the season now means fuck all
That’s what worries me, we have plenty of rest days from now too so they damn well should have been trying harder tonightQuote:

Well let’s face it, none of our players were going to get it - they’ve been embarrassingQuote:

Another fucking draw.
I can't understand why players just want to toss away momentum.
Only got themselves to blame if they can't get up to the levels required for PSG.
FT 2-2
Sick of this league campaign. Was at peace with it when 2nd looked to be secured but now we will have to scrap for that. Hope for this teams sake that we reach the CL final because this is shaping up to be a dire end to the season.
FT and they can all go and fuck themselves for that disgrace. We're winning nothing this season, not a prayer. When you can go out at your own place with that sort of attitude while dreaming about Euro cup wins, it's just that, a dream - not an ounce of reality present. Disgusted with that - even after the Madrid matches - still this shit that has plagued the club for decades. What will it actually take - how many thousands a week - to get these players to give a shit?
I don’t think they’ve chosen to do it. From what I’ve seen this was no different to the game at Selhurst Park where our defending was also pretty iffy. The difference is we don’t have the attacking players that we did back in December. I think equally the expectation was that Palace wouldn’t give a shit about this game.Quote:

Like I said - play the fucking kids! At least they'd go out and make a game of it.
Will have to win that game against Bournemouth now. A game we will have no interest in.
These draws have killed us, it’s like death by a thousand cuts.
I'm not sure if you'e disagreeing with me or not.Quote:

He might be a good shot stopper but he's a total liability in all other respects.Quote:

I agree with your frustration but I don’t think the players chose to throw away momentum. Palace were better than us tonight, in terms of strength, aggression and yes desire. We were very very lucky to draw.Quote:

When the season is properly analysed, it will be clear that it this arrogance Arteta has of consistently underestimating mid table teams that killed any chance of us winning the league....as most of our games in the league aren't going to be against the Citehs and Liverpools...... honestly the stupidity of walking straight into a wall game after game is so fucking infuriating.
Anyway, whats done is done.
Like I said on another thread, I'm glad the first leg against PSG is at home as I expect that to be tougher leg seeing the kind of performance the team has gotten use to delivering in front of their paying fans. This result will only make them jittery and more nervous.
I just hope, whatever we get, we'll have a strong team able to salvage something in the 2nd leg.
Would love to know how many points we’ve dropped from winning positions because I can’t quite remember a season like this in terms of draws.
Why do you care about that?Quote:

You do that by how you treat the game and apply yourself. I remember you not finding it acceptable in any way on us drawing to Everton.Quote:

I disagree, finishing third or worse will feel like and really is, a massive regression in the league.Quote:

Honestly, have we got to April with people still thinking that we simply choose not to play better against mid table teams who allow us to dominate possession.Quote:

Don’t get me wrong I think we need not just strikers but better attacking midfielders to combat this, but it’s not a mindset issue. It’s a we don’t have the attacking players to break teams down unless they give us space issue
I know 2nd-5th doesn’t matter at this stage but fact there is now jeopardy with the position we’ve held all season is something I find embarrassing.Quote:
