Carabao Cup Final | Arsenal v Manchester City | February 25, 2018 16:30 GMT | Sky Sports

We lost to friggin Ostersund so losing to City is no surprise really.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

I'm all for criticising Wenger but the players could have come up with some revolutionary ideas today like running, shooting and tackling.

Or defending

 

[rich 1990]

****ing hate these player interviews with non-English speakers.

Interviewer: Aguero, talk us through your goal.

Aguero: I happy eeehh cus goal.

Interviewer: Thanks Aguero.

Makes for awful viewing.

The worst non English speaker to hear interviewed, imo, is Harry Kane.

 

[Makingtrax]

The lads at the back were nervous all game.

The boys in the middle either weren't fit (Ramsey) or didn't put much effort in, Xhaka walking back ffs.

The gulf in class was noticeable in certain positions and Wenger looks very tired.

Can see a big change coming this summer.

 

[Jojoba]

and btw, lol at people saying that we are a stronger team now.

Hope you guys now see how important both giroud and Alexis were.

Its been luck and individual disjointed performances that have won us the recent FA cups. Not because our whole team is good.
We have been a joke team since the Cesc era came to an end. I have been saying this since then. We have not had a set style of football. I just miss that beautiful football we used to play. Th Players we have today are so technically poor. We had Cesc, Nasri, RVp, Rosicky, Wilshere, Eduardo, Hleb, etc in that time. I always felt confident that we could win a given match if they stayed fit. But i have never felt confident about winning any game against any half decent team since the Cesc era ended.

 

[blaze_of_glory]

Honestly, we've had plenty of games like this where Giroud and Theo make no difference off the bench.

We both know Giroud would have made it 4-1 in the 89th, and then come close again at the death.

 

[albakos]

And Jack needs to sort his **** up.

I ****ing hate it when he has a poor game, but then wants to show "some passion" by getting into player faces.

That's pathetic.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

**** me that was absolutely pathetic, it was the same as the Sp**s game. Just sat off and sort of hoped that City wouldn't score and that we might get lucky on the break, I hate football played like that especially when we're incapable of soaking up pressure.

 

[Rimaal]

Well if you're going back a decade, then yes. I'm not trying to argue that the club's recruitment has been good at all. The summers of 2013, 2015 and 2017 were poor due to lack of signings, the two years we actually spent in 2014 and 2016 the money was generally wasted. But no matter how shrewd we are in the market, we simply can't match City's squad.

oh ffs, we don;t need to match them in spending. What they spent in a season to buy players quick to satatisfy a new manager like United or City, we could have built in this squad over a decade, by building this team player by player. We didn't need to do it fast. Wenger has been here forever.
We actually went a season without buying an outfield player and lost the league to fecking Leicester!

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

3 months of this s**t over can't wait.

 

[al-Ustaadh]

Means You are glad that we won.

Mods needs to ban this guy asap. How such guy gets into a Arsenal Forum?

Shameless. Get off from here

Sarcasm. Go get a pineapple.

 

[KrissKringle]

I wonder how many people have stopped watching/supporting Arsenal entirely in the last 6 months.
To be honest with you guys, the way we've been playing in the last couple of seasons bores me quite a lot.
We're also one of the worst teams on the counter. Slowly, but steadily, Arsenal has been castrated of speed and hunger for winning.

 

[Maddar16]

I just dont get Arsène, his football philosophy is based on technical security with the ball, but this team has so many cloggers it is unreal. Welbeck, Bellerin Kolasinac to name a few. Ramsey might not have the touch but he has the engine and provides runs. His banter era teams would steamroll this current squad and i am not even joking.

Even those mentioned names can have their uses. Welbeck should be used to occupy the channels due to his workrate not as a striker.

Look at our midfield players when they get the ball, there is no one to make passing angles, ie triangles. This is partly why Xhaka gets dispossessed. What happened to Wenger that allowed him to recruit players with such poor technical ability?

And another thing, what does it say to players like Nketiah Nelson et al when senior players get picked time and time again despite their errors. Even Mourinho is showing up Wenger by starting Mctominay in back to back big games and putting Pogbas' place in doubt.

Just use the rest of the PL games to blood promising youth players and go full tilt in Europa.

If Mustafi gets selected this week then it is curtains for Arsène.

 

[MNUS]

We are like United with the 4-2-3-1 scapegoating. Yes Wenger needs to go he isn't the only problem with the team, most of the players are happy being passengers and/or dont have the quality (especially for Wengerball).

What Bellerin said was spot on to the state of this club, Sanchez was too much for him sometimes because he always wanted to win. Jog on mate and take Wenger with you.

 

[Sapient Hawk]

Actually I disagree. I truly believe he's delusional and has lost complete tough with footy reality.

Oh if it's his grip on the realities of modern football then yes he hasn't a prayer

Nothing gets me angrier than watching one of the multitude of specials he has on BEIN

"Arsène Wenger's World Cup Shocks".

He should retire & become a football curator.

 

[Rex Stone]

Winning the Europa League looks like a fantasy right now and the league campaign is all done.

The club should use this. Bar Mkhitaryan, PEA and Özil every player out there should be playing for the future.

They've made right moves in cutting ties with a lot of players, I'm hoping we're starting to see a culture change. No more of these embarrassments out there.

 

[Vibra]

I can never get over how comically tiny the trophy is

 

[A_G]

 

[blaze_of_glory]

Still don't understand why Wenger ever changed from 442. He perfected that, took it to new heights that have still not been surpassed. But then got caught up in trying to be trendy.

 

[Malky]

Didn't expect us to win, in all honesty, but that was a disgrace! We just lay down and let City do what they want in the 2nd half, not one of those pampered cowards shown any sort of fight. Meanwhile Wenger and Bould sit on the bench with their 'poor us' expressions.
I can't even work out what Wenger's game plan was, sit back, defend and hit them on the counter with the worlds slowest attack + Aubameyang? Yeah, ****ing £10M a year genius that!
Fuming with that performance right now. **** the lot of them!
