At least Bif is doing his job tonight and getting into the box.
Why do we always have to do that little 20 second pass around the back 3 routine? It's so boring. And then we give it awy anyway.
It takes some skill to make talented players look as bad as this on a pitch.
Ozil and Lacazette are not even on the bench. Talk about taking the game lightly.
No Ozil, no Xhaka. For whatever other faults they bring, at least they can pass and knit a game together.Quote:

This formation just doesn't work against teams that sit back. Makes us even more tippy tap if that was possible.
HT 0-1
Embarrassing.
Wenger really is clueless and he's so fucking disrespectful of opponents. He claims he spends all his time watching football. Hard to believe he can't see what a fucking shambles he's built here.
Send out another random team and pray for the best. That's the full extent of this guy's preparation.
3 at the back just doesn't work without the correct tactics and discipline. Somehow we're even more vulnerable. Iwobi doesn't work in the middle he needs to go to the flank. Why Maitland-Niles is starting ahead of Nelson is beyond clear classic trolling by Wenger then there's Jack who somehow cannot get a start when he's the type of player we're crying out for at the moment.
It just seems like we've got less players in the field.
The Wengerisation of Alexis is complete
71% possession. That's all that counts.Quote:

Giroud static up front. Bellerin and Walcot on each others toes. Iwobi isn't a centre mid. Three centre backs against one striker leaving midfield overrun.Quote:

3 - 5 - 2 can work provided you have a manager who knows how to play it and tactically instructs his players to flourish under it ........... unfortunately our dinosaur isn't that person and he's too egotistical to get help.Quote:

Chelsea are going to rape us on Sunday if we carry on like this.
It would have been good to have Lucas Perez and Joel Campbell come in for this match. But they are better off on another loan.
Corner for us. Hope we don't concede.
Kolasinac on for Holding. Switching to a back 4. Not that it will make a blind bit of difference. Monreal CB again then,
Kolasinac is pure class
Great by Alexis. Dodgy offside though.
Not for long.Quote:

Kolasinac with the Podolski tribute for the Koln fans.
Free signings :bow:
There's definitely a correlation between shooting and scoring. I'm convinced of it.
Alexis starting to come into the game now. Perhaps because a competent player has come on to assist him.
Don't be ridiculous. How many teams have you managed?Quote:
