Özil signed his contract and he is back to the old.

 

[lackofthreat]

could have been 5 or 6 . we were awful today. Kanes clearly a cheat. When is St Totteringhams day this year?

We didn't created a lot at first half but if he meant the counters we f**k up then his right

Total delusion. We should have finished the game in the first half? What's he playing. FIFA?

 

[krengon]

Just look at that pass map ffs

 

[SingmeasongSong]

Dembele always looks amazing against us because our midfield is full of weaklings

So basically, our midfield looks ****ty because we've got no Dembele

 

[KrissKringle]

Wenger moaning about missed counter attacks when this team is absolute sh*t at them. They're so brainwashed to make an attacking play with at least 5 passes that they don't have the knowledge anymore. It's the dumbing down of those qualities some of the players had/have little of.
The season is already fu**ed, so at least try a different formation and play both Auba and Laca at the same time, or just teach them how to cross and play it fast again, because there's nothing to lose at this point!

It wasn't 50/50 possession though
Not that I can remember. It was more 55/45 for Sp**s.

They've outplayed us during the 2nd half. As simple as that.

Zero intensity during a NLD... what did he expect?

I think he meant 1st half it was tight game Sp**s didn't create nothing other that offside Kane header

 

[Big Poppa]

Cech
Bellerin - Mustafi - Kosc - Monreal
Wilshere - Elneny - Xhaka
Özil - Aubamayang - Mkhi
​

With 3 in midfield and playmakers on the wing, this team should be dominating possession and creating several chances for Aubameyang. Wenger had us playing deep and counterattacking though, which makes no sense. Only Auba is suited to run after balls, and he can't do that alone. Another problem is that Özil and Mkhi have tougher jobs here because they are playing in roles that restrict their movement across their front line. The team selection was backwards, which is on Wenger.

Too much oestrogen in that side. Passing the ball around sideways and backwards is not dominating anything. It's a NLD so to dominate you also need to compete and impose yourself physically because the opposition aren't going to stand and watch you play football.

Yes he wanted us to score 3 goals before we bottle it at the back

 

[asukru]

Disappointed. Switched my shift at work just to watch this and I have no words.

 

[Kroket]

Just look at that pass map ffs

Reminds me of Everton's pass map against us the other day, utterly feeble.

 

[Jury]

We need to go back to the very very basics of football. I'd get an under 8's coach to manage them for a few months then take it from there. Just use cones and five-a-side goals.

It's the kind of thing this place would mock Guardiola or Klopp for saying if they lost a game having been second best by a long way.

 

[Trilly]

It's just an excuse. We've benefitted from plenty of decisions too such as our repeated last minute shenanigans against Burnley!

Fair point.

I think when you lose with barely a whimper like we’ve just done, with nobody making any huge errors, just getting thoroughly outplayed like we did in the second half despite having arguably better players.

We were resigned to losing this game in that second half. New manager is needed when he can’t even get the players motivated for a north London derby.

 

[Camron]

Just look at that pass map ffs

This says it all.

@Makingtrax

When we go all out against Man U, get high pocession, 33 shots on target and a massive xG everybody says we should be more defensive minded and surrender pocession more.

When we surrender pocession, and play defensively with a lower xG, everybody says we should be more attacking.

We're mocked either way.

The bottom line here is that we beat Sp**s comfortably at home 2-0. Away it will always be tougher. The first half we contained them well and looked well organised. They got one goal in second half and both teams squandered a couple of good chances each.

I see nothing to get hung up about, here. More worried about our losses to Swansea and Bournmouth to be honest.

 

[Trilly]

Low percentage chance.....

It was to be honest, drop your agenda for just one second and people would be more willing to listen to your opinions on the guy.

 

[MaraDon]

Kane´s goal was outstanding, agree with wenger.
