I felt sorry for poor old Andre Santos. He must have been thinking they MUST hook me any minute, so I'll have another little dart forward, and blow me there he was in the 93rd minute still out there. He must be thinking, what do I have to do to get substituted, break a leg?
You don't like winning trophies eitheron the fans' frustration…
We've lost at home and of course the fans are frustrated. We are too. We don't like losing football games. We have to pick ourselves up.![]()
It's what we all know - the subs are already worked out before the match has kicked off. After 70 mins get Giroud on for Gervinho. If we're still losing at 85, Jenkinson off for Gnabry. It would make no difference if the manager is on the touchline or not, our match-strategy is a simulation. We don't react to what is happening on the pitch. We've seen so many examples; taking Oxlade off against Man Utd last season was a particularly popular one.
The 2 minute flight from London Colney to the Emirates took it out of them.
How did santos last 90 mins when it was clear he couldn't cope after 10? The inadequacy of the current team is only exceeded by the sheer incompetence of the club's management. Piss poor as always.
I expected better of Bould but it seems he's just another yes man like rice.
