Europa League Final Autopsy

To be fair Iwobi was a legitimate option, mainly because Ozil is such a ghost in these games. You have to think a more direct option would have served us better.

Willock is definitely revisionism, he's played 6 or 7 games this season.

The player we missed most was Ramsey. Sadly.

The subs bench highlighted how rubbish our squad is to be honest. ESM should have never gone on load however, he'd been decent when he'd been given a chance and given our squad he would have been an option, instead we got lumbered with Kim Källström mark II (Suarez) which again is Emerys' fault.

I think for the first time in as long as I can remember, Arsenal fans are pretty much unanimous with their opinion on the state of the club. The squad needs gutting, it probably won't happen because it's not practical but it's definitely time to say goodbye to at least half of the squad.

I think it's time to blood youth, we clearly don't have a budget to rebuild and take the team to the next level. Emery is going to have to earn his corn and promote from within.

I think the idea sounds good in principle but it wasn’t too long ago the kids were being savaged under Wenger. It would need a complete reset from the fans to deal with the frustration of relying on kids. Does our fan base (online at least) have that in them?

He was - but probably not as a starter. He’s barely started a game in recent months and I don’t think many fans had a case to argue he should’ve started more recently as he’s been poor. Then again, so was everyone else recently. What he did when he came on was a surprise to everyone - he even scored for once.

But yes, Ramsey was the big miss in the game as he was key when we beat them earlier in the season. But his injury was symbolic of his whole career here to be honest

Allegri is available... as much as I want to give Emery one more season, we cant be behind the 8 ball when a top manager becomes available. We made that mistake when Klopp was available but we decided to stick with Le Dinosaur. I wouldnt sweat it if he gets another season, but like many posters have pointed, I dont see anything in Emery that suggests he is going to be the next Pochettino or Klopp.

I actually wouldn't mind us signing some younger players, not the dross Wenger use to sign all the time, nobodies from unknown clubs who'd never played a game, but youngsters like the guy we were after from PSG or young players who have played a bit and performed well and shown ability.

The reason Wengers' youth policy never worked is because he continuously signed players who were 15-16 who had never shown they were up to the job and as we know when it comes to spotting talent he was way off, he missed out on all the decent kids and signed the duds.

We've got 1 or 2 decent young players ourselves, but not enough to build a team with, that 10 year youth team plan went totally pearshaped as well, it's years since we've produced anybody half decent, the likes of Chelsea and Man City sign up the best youngsters early and they seem to turn out pretty good so maybe we should follow their lead.

As much as Flopp up to now has been a loser, he's got a lot more to show for himself than Poncetino, who frankly is living off some players which as far as i know he didn't sign, who happen to have some good cohesion in some games but when it counts so far (and we all pray beyond tomorrow) have won jack shit and actually thrown away good positiona.

He's just lucky people like K**t and Dire don't have the imagination to go abroad and actually learn something

If Pep hadn't been stupid enough to overcommit the first team spuds wouldn't even have been there tomorrow.

Ponce is a fake and while on one level i'd like him to leave spuds, on another i hope he stays and continues to lead them to failure

I think he is an overrated tosser tbh

[Marc Overmars]

They’re in the CL final having not signed a player for 2 years and have half the wage bill of most clubs they’re competing with.

Tosser I guess. Overrated, I’m not sure.

Sarri is leaving Chelsea.
