Being doubled by Bournemouth. That’s a fucking disgrace
Same shit is going to happen with Newcastle isn’t it
Four games without a win at home. We don’t even have defensive solidity to point to anymore
Why would they be nervous of Bournemourh?
Do calm down, we lost a game, the only bottler is Ode in front of goal,it's shameful that he just won't take a shot
For me it proves why we should have fielded an alternative team, they couldn't have done worse and now we've run people'a batteries down even further and done nothing for so-called momentum
Different doesn't necessarily mean weaker
If the first team is tired and saving themselves for a 'bigger' game that leads to a 'weakened' team anyway doesn't it?
Especially compared with 'fringe' players who'd jump at the chance to get a start and do their damnest to keep their place in the team
The idea that the players were saving themselves for Wednesday is supposition.
And yes it does mean weakened if you’re replacing first team players with those from the academy. Players who even if they were good enough have next to no experience at this level.
The first team was played in more or less its entirety because we needed to win because the teams around us are closing in.
The nerves I’ve mentioned are because the only team in the league we’ve beaten in over a month is Ipswich town. We can’t hold onto leads so a 1-0 lead made us nervous, we are as I’ve said a confidence team so we make mistakes when we are nervous.
I blame the players much less than I do Arteta and also the club, they've been let down by poor squad building and management
Nerves about what? We didn’t need a win to secure the title.
Fine, you can bottle a game in the context of a title run in. We aren’t in one.
It just feels like we have collectively given up. It’s pretty pathetic.
Obviously a turnaround on Wednesday would mitigate.
I still haven’t completely given up that although I am edging towards team Maccy in that you can’t keep on getting poor results and then suddenly turn it on for a big game
