You know you’re getting old when you can remember Arsenal scoring a goal from open play.
Pepe stupidity has probably cost him any chances for the foreseeable future. Which means more of that donkey Willian.
Maybe we've all got this wrong and we should be celebrating a point against a good side after we went down to ten men? no, thought not...
Well if you think we’re capable of doing anything meaningful in the league then it’s not a good point. If you’ve accepted we’re mid-table fodder now then it’s a fantastic point.Originally Posted by Mac76

We made a mistake taking on a rookie manager
and this is the price we are paying.
How long do we give him? Until we are in a relegation dog fight?
We are looking very mid-table.
I only saw the last 10 minutes today and didn’t think we were terrible, but we just aren’t that good either. We’ll get some good results and some bad ones but it’ll all add up to a pretty mid table season. Am increasingly wondering whether it’s really worth persisting with Arteta.
He talks a good game but is he really taking us anywhere good?
We are now, the very definition of mid-table fodder.
If you want something other than the league table as proof, you only have to look at how we approach games against the big teams.
We have not fallen hard, but we have fallen far.
It happened gently over a period of over ten years until we reached a tipping point. Rather than arresting that decline, which we had ample opportunity to do, we have passed the tipping point and the decline is accelerating.
Seriously, has anyone got the slightest clue how we get out of this mess? Does anyone know where to start?
If the football was good then it would probably be worth persisting with. However at no point in his year in charge has it been good. It’s boring, methodical and regimented football that has completely killed our forward line to the point where we can barely create meaningful chances anymore. Even when the odd chance does come any killer instinct has now been lost because sightings of goal are so scarce now.
Arteta is dining off the cup wins over City and Chelsea. One off games where everything went our way on the day.
Nice guy and I agree he talks a good game but what we’ve seen on the pitch does not compute. He’s a safety-first coach who sets out to not lose, rather than win IMO. Would love to be proven wrong but he’s not my cup of tea. Off you pop.
Leeds starting line up cost less than 50 million combined. Even when we had 11 players they were comfortably the better side.
