Loss PL: Newcastle 2 - 0 Arsenal | Monday 16th May | KO: 20:00 BST | Sky Sports

Time to rally the troops.

No time to be down since we have a chance of redemption right here.

None of this sitting back or reactive tactics, please. We need to play on the front foot, hold the ball and silence the crowd. City bouncing back after their CL exit should be the blueprint for Arteta as they remained focused and did this to Newcastle:



It’ll be a lot tougher as they’ve only lost one game in 2022 at home and that was against Liverpool but WE CAN DO IT.

Remember the last time we had to secure CL football at St James Park? Well, we got the job done and I don’t see why we can’t do so here.

Let’s remain positive, win this one and move on to Everton.

Bottled top 4, if he didnt fall out with 2/3 of the squad we probably would have made it. Btw our midfield is garbage.

This 2/3 of the squad seldom looks like scoring.

 

[Token Yank]

Serious question, how did we make 4 subs?

 

[UpTheGunnerz]

Emery was sacked for less. Why are we investing time in a man with less skills in the game.

 

[bojed]

Bring back Emery!

 

[GDeep™]

How many league games we lost now? 14 or something.

 

[grange]

That was a stupid bet. Even Arteta couldn't **** up a 4th place position by that much.

We weren't in 4th when I offered it you, you muppet. We were around 8th, actually. You were too cowardly to accept it even back then.

Thankfully I had already settled for 5th this season as I just didn't see us having it in us to go further after I saw the fixture list.

But man, the manager and squad have to improve drastically this summer. We have to be spot on with the transfer business and we have to get 1-2 big talents. Jesus, Trilesman is just not gonna cut it.

Said it weeks ago.. Arsenal need 5-7 new players, all who could come straight into the first team when called on

None of this "Arsenal have signed the next Martinelli" and see them with some 19 y old for 3 million

We need a guaranteed 20 goal a year striker.

We need a Bissouma type midfielder.

Saliba will be interesting but he's still a kid.

I'd seriously look at trying to get Nathan Collins from Burnley, he's going to be a star centre half in the future

Cucerella from Brighton. And 4-5 more

 

[Malky]

The man’s ego and man management has badly hurt us. This guy thinks he’s managing City and he’s Pep. Where are Saliba, Guendouzi and Auba?

Douzi would of gave us some fight in midfield today and Saliba is superior to White, but Arteta doesn’t rate them

 

[Tom Mix]

Arteta out.

5th is about fair. Just didn't like the false hope towards the end.

5th without being in Europe probably equates to no higher than 8th if playing in Europe.

 

[DUFFMAN]

I thought BG didn’t come here because Newcastle offered more money?

 

[Baki]

How many league games we lost now? 14 or something.

13

This might be it for me boys. Another 3 years of Mikel? Feel like crying ffs. Absolutely gutted.

All the people on this forum saying ‘trust the process’ ‘Miks changing the culture’ etc.. and the fans singing that stupid song ‘We got super Mik Arteta, we’re going back to the champions league’…politely **** yourselves.

Come on mate, be fair. Did you really expect us to be close to a top 4 finish with 2 games to go at the start of the season??? And don't lie!!

 

[Gunner D]

Tbh I'm in sheer disbelief with how we've played in the last two games.

We've barely strung a pass together against Newcastle. They haven't even been that good imo, but our passing has been so horrible that we've made them look like Real Madrid.

FML.

Why does it shock you mate? It’s been like this since Miks come through the door, besides that purple patch from December-March this year. Guys ****ing awful.

 

[Camus]

Serious question, how did we make 4 subs?

Newcastle got an extra sub because of the head injury so they gave us an additional one. It's part of the new head injury laws.

 

[ptrcopp]

it’s quite obvious Bruno is the kind of player we needed all along.

 

[Macho]

This is Baku vibes man.

 

[Nunowoolmez]

Let's be honest. We don't deserve CL. We don't have a CL team.

It was nice while it lasted but its back to reality.

 

[Gunner D]

Come on mate, be fair. Did you really expect us to be close to a top 4 finish with 2 games to go at the start of the season??? And don't lie!!

Mate not now please.

 

[Baki]

We weren't in 4th when I offered it you, you muppet. We were around 8th, actually. You were too cowardly to accept it even back then.

What day did you offer it? Because we haven't been in 8th place since the first half of the season.

 

[2Smokeyy]

Wish you all the best mate!

I'm sure we will meet again here when the sun shines again!

Praying you to have the best time and if you see OnlyOne with a brick of cocaine, don't try to catch him, he is oiled up and slippery, its some funny game he and his friend are doing.

Hopefully once I’m back this place will have changed for the better.

Nothing worse than being an Arsenal fan in this era of mediocrity.
