We could have brought Messi and we'd turn him into a plonker.
Replacing our only first team winger then not playing him. Just Arsenal things.

You know it’s bad when you’re longing for players like Gabriel and Francis Coquelin.
This. No matter how good the system or the tactics, cutting out individual mistakes can only really be cured by a change of personnel.All said, result was crap, same issues with individual mistakes due to the individuals being absolute dogshit, so no manager can help that.
The fluidity and possession at the start and in places during, and the end, was very promising; we were good to watch. More work to be done here than alot imagined.
I said half decent. Xhaka-Guendouzi together is never supposed to work. Xhaka has no pace or brain, Guendouzi has no positional senseI disagree strongly here. I don't think Guendouzi was good at all. Maybe going forward but defensively he was getting destroyed alongside Xhaka!
Guendouzi and Xhaka were both poor , both get overrun too easily and don't have the physical presence, tackling ability or pace to recover. ESP for the Cantwell goal neither was anywhere near the play when they broke and our defenders are always outnumbered and back pedaling.I disagree strongly here. I don't think Guendouzi was good at all. Maybe going forward but defensively he was getting destroyed alongside Xhaka!
I didn't expect him to fix broken things or to get a result, but starting with a fresh attacking formation instead of fielding 4 CM's is not the start I was looking for. If we wanted pragmatic way, we could've kept Emery then
Agree i mean how do expect pepe going to prove himself if he not getting minutesReplacing our only first team winger then not playing him. Just Arsenal things.
It might be hard to understand, but I do not “hate” him. I would love for him to play great and be closer to the player he once was. He was great when he burst into the scene, but unfortunately that is long ago and now he brings very little to the team.great.. we get it. You hate Özil. everyone gets it. Message received.
He's taken the job 2 days ago.
He's basically played the same setup/team Emery has played during the last few weeks because he wasn't going to change things drastically without having the chance on working on it.
His team selection today made a lot of sense imo.
Our dressing room is already broken. Our players have 0 confidence right now. I think he didn't want to change too much things too fast, and make it worse.
Let's see what he does for the next few games.
Laca is slow - news to me!! Midfield is disjointed. I cant figure out who plays in midfield most of the time. Chambers is a defender being asked or still trying to play as a traditional winger with flair. Thats not his game. His game is to DEFEND. Id rather they use Wilcock in that role or Pepe. Team needs quicker transition from defense to midfield.Laca is slow as snail, Özil do quick transitions from midfield which is essential. Issue with Özil is playing Laca and Xhaka doesn't help him. He needs people who pass and move. Even chambers is horrible with the ball, i hope bellerin gets fit asap.
