So it turns out I’m still incredibly fucked off about Saturdays game, and the city defeat has done nothing to quell that…arguably it’s made it even worse

I think now has come the time to examine issues of squad rotation. Both full backs were horrible, if we had depth in midfield to drop Xhaka that’s exactly what we should do (I’d be open to playing Tierney at left back and Zinchenko in midfield)

And as good as Odegaard has been lately, he stunk out the place so badly on Saturday that there should be some consequence for that.

Arteta can keep his “I love the players even more” you love Martinelli so much you made him completely isolated you stupid cunt.

No wonder they think they can put in performances like that with that attitude.
I agree with the highlighted text. The reason I feel upset about Saturday is not even so much the defeat (these things do happen even to the best teams) - it was the performance, which raises questions about our consistency and ability to stay the course this season. Everton were motivated and well organised, but for a team with title winning aspirations they should have been beatable, and increasing the gap on Citeh would have been invaluable.

Not sure I'm quite with you re Matrinelli, though. He has been sub-par for a while, and I don't think this is the manager's fault. I am beginning to worry that Jesus needs to play for Martinelli to shine - which is a worry for a player who has just been re-signed as a 'go to' player for us.
