Did we have RVP at the beginning of the season?
Yeah, genuinely couldn't give a shit about the spuds. Jumping from 5th to 4th best team in country is hardly a major achievement.
Of far greater concern is the huge (and growing) gulf between us and the top.
Can't get my head round AW anymore. I do think he still cares, but then makes such ridiculous decisions it makes you wonder what is going on. Change has been long over due now, and its sad to see a once great managers reign end so bitterly.
Vertonghen was brilliant, defended very well and also got forward well.
what are you on about now? we didnt have rvp at the beginning of last season?Did we have RVP at the beginning of the season?
quick to point the finger at cripps and zimm for wumming but the real wummers here are the mods.
The sad thing is he chose them over us because we couldn't guarantee him first team football!
He's miles better than any CB we have.
jenkinson was shyt. You guys are simple as fook, see someone bombing down the flank putting in nothing balls and think thats a sign of quality. On both goals he could have applied pressure to the ball-carrier but I guess he didnt want to.
If theres a worse right back in the league ive yet to see him.
they got one over us in vertonghen and also lloris.
one of the crucial differences was the goalkeeper yesterday. lloris was assured in everything he done, summed up in the way he came out to dominate that corner in the 95th minute by getting a strong hand to it. chesney would never have done that or if he did, it would have been an awful attempt and they probably would have scored from it.
its the difference between winning and losing. having a strong, experienced goalkeeper reassures the backline. the way lloris scooped up jenkinsons cross in the 2nd half. chesney would have palmed it straight into the oppositions feet. thats the difference between winning and losing.
after just watching motd highlights, fuck me our backline is embarrassing. are we still going to pretend like bould has a say in the coaching? because an experienced leader like bould would not be telling the backline to act like a circus on the weekend.
made worse by the spurs part of the highlights, who look organised and solid. avb clearly working the fine details of their defence.
a rookie manager out doing wenger at the things wenger used to be dominant at. just leave.
We were off in so many areas. The defence is a complete shambles and there is no organisation or communication between them. Vermaelen has to stripped of the armband and dropped. His form has been bad all season and he’s a terrible captain. The midfield wasn’t as disjointed as I’ve seen in the past but Jack was having a bad game. He can’t play further upfield if he’s going to dwindle on the ball and miss playing people in.
I thought Theo had a bad game. He needs to learn to adapt and play between the lines if he’s not getting the service but the MOTD highlights showed the amount of times Jack missed playing him through. We need Rosicky playing alongside him because still has a way to go before he can be our main playmaker. He keeps things ticking but we’re really missing the killer through balls and we really need passes on the plate if we’re playing doughnuts like Giroud and Theo.
Giroud has no quality and Pod needs to get a game upfront. He couldn’t win anything in the air, couldn’t trap the ball or lay it off right….a terrible performance from him. Ramsey was playing okay until Wenger decided to play him as rightback. Arteta shouldn’t be our DM. Way to slow to track runners and a faster, stronger, more aware DM would have helped us a great deal yesterday. He just can’t cover the ground.
It’s going to be a real struggle to get anything right if we can’t fix these problem. I’m not worried about attack as much because a few tweaks will sort that. In fact, who knows what would have happened if we kept a clean sheet but we defence haven’t had a solid and organised run of games in months. They have been so rubbish and it’s a repeat of previous seasons. Why can’t Wenger fix it?
on top of his pre-game boast of how good we are statistically away from home, that is the reason why. he'll never get the problems in defence. never.It is difficult to understand how you lose a game like that.
