Match Reaction vs Palace (home)

[Master Splinter]

Adebayor being booed semi-vociferously and no-one really knowing why anymore was the best bit.

[Xhaka Can’t]

50% goals.

Wenger does not deserve £8.3m a year to stay on.

Get him OUT OUT OUT.

I wonder if he has a buyout clause in his contract?

We could all chip in.

Shit.

He's a goal provider not a goal scorer, and frankly couldn't give a shit what individual honours he wins as long as he delivers for us, and his stats show he creates a plethora of chances for competent goalscorers, and that's what we are lacking.

Today's game is a key example of why I don't rate Ozil that much. Stats say he created 8 chances but which chance was of such quality that you can say the receiver missed a sitter? Not one. And when playing a game where there isn't much space to slip a ball through behind the defence, most of the space will be front of their defenders on the edge of the box so we need players trying to have a go on goal and doing what Palace just did to us with their goal. Take a man on, try to gain a little space to shake the marker and shoot! A gutless performance from the team.

West Brom on Thursday.

Again, he's the last player that should be criticised. Now we're saying his 8 chances weren't sitters. He's doing his job but the lunatic on the touchline has the team set up like some sort of energy conservation lab experiment. We don't pay football any more. We play this weird possession thing that has no point beyond the possession itself. Strikers don't get in the box, players don't burst upfield when we win the ball, most of the play goes sideways and backwards. How can you criticise a guy that somehow manages to craft 8 chances out of the shit he has to work with?

It would all change overnight if Wenger would fuck off.

Decided to ditch the footy and go out for the afternoon instead so just seen the result. Correct decision made.

[Power n Glory]

West Brom, Sunderland, Norwich and City. We might not get top 4 this season.
