    Xhaka suits our game perfectly. Tip. Tap. Tip. Tap.

    Aubameyang does not suit our game in any way. Everything about him is the opposite to what we play. I thought when we dropped 50 mill on Lacazette Wenker would change our (so-called) style to integrate him. Like fuck. Now we want to buy another 50 mill striker. Perhaps Wenker will twig.

    As much as it was a good result yesterday, it wasn't vintage stuff, first half was woeful, 2nd half was much better but both our goals were due to deflections so we got lucky.

    Chelsea on the other hand, really look ordinary, had a few injuries yesterday but the reality is their team is not great, Conte isn't do a good job IMO, the strikers are average (always thought Morata was highly overrated) and once they lost Willian they struggled. Man City will be a different kettle of fish as they actually have players who can hurt you all over the pitch.

    Yeah this happens every season, nothing new, we've got not staying power, yes we win the odd cup but it doesn't take much resilience to win those, you just need to turn up on the day and get a bit of luck.

    The chavs looked shit last night, they really were nothing special at all.

    That's the worrying thing though as we looked average in the first half. As soon as Jack started making some runs with Ozil we looked much more potent but the attack is shit. Lacazette has no pace (could be a confidence thing) but we kept going out wide every time. It was terrible to watch. The same ideas every single time.

    Wenger needs to go as he clearly isn't teaching them anything different.
    I must have seen about 12 different attacks that should have resulted in a shot at goal or a goal and every one of them ended the same way - in our own half.

    Opta stats will probably show that we had:

    Most number of passes in our own half
    Most possession in our own half
    Most number of passes outside the 18 yard box
    Most possession around the 18 yard box.


    If we were a top team we could have won 5 or 6 nil as Chavs were THAT average.

    I know we won but I am only more concerned, after watching that, going forward.

    We're winning trophies with a dinosaur in charge that hardly applies any tactics and negates our play. Imagine what we could achieve with a modern, tactically efficient manager.

    There's so much untapped potential at this club. But that's a debate for a different day.

    Why do you want him out of our Club?
    If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.

    Nacho is great. There was someone on here who didn't rate him. Can't remember who but it's weird. He's been our most reliable defender for years.
    NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
