Premier League 2025/26: Race For The Title

[lomekian]

What are the players supposed to do? Maybe do their job properly?

Look at the first goal we conceded yesterday. Ben White, who everyone has been clamoring for, was in no man’s land with no idea where AFCB players were, and Lewis Skelly losing his marker at the far post.

It has been a theme for a while now: defensive sloppiness, silly mistakes, and getting bailed out by the keeper over and over again.

These were mistakes that weren’t happening in October or November.

These players and the manager are just a bunch of bottlers who can’t handle pressure.

The earlier we rip this project to shreds and start again, the better, because it’s not going to change anytime soon.

Note that the players at fault defensively are the back ups

This level of cope is quite remarkable.

I rarely read Arseblog because I find him kind of annoying, but his post today is spot on imo. Pretty much exactly how I feel about things right now.

I just started to read it then realised the anger was returning from reliving the game and so I've stopped

We’ve already shown we can do it twice, in 23/24 and last season after going down to ten men. If the four starters who were missing on Saturday return, I fully expect a result, possibly even a win if we score first. We just need to keep it tight for 70 minutes. City will have to take more risks, which should give us opportunities on the counter. That’s why I’d like to see Gyökeres and Martinelli come off the bench in this game.

Damn, you know when Pep starts dropping these sort of patronising comments he fully knows it's going to be 3/4-0 to City.

Kind of disgraceful that I’m seeing a lot of Chelsea fans even a few friends who support them outright celebrating City spanking them at their ground I get the banter element but still…

If Chelsea were in a title race then I’m not sure I’d be able to drag myself to moving that shameless if we got beat at home 3-0. They used to be a serious club lool

Nail in the coffin there. For a couple of years when he couldn't beat us there were none of these comments.

It really feels like Bobby Fischer vs Soveit Union sometimes in the league. I guess all the hate is because Arsenal fans are the most annoying people in England or something like that?

They were never a serious club. They were a joke club who became a war criminal's plaything cheating the entire way and now they're back to being a joke club with war criminal investors who are still cheating. To be able to support Chelsea in the first place you need to have a very low floor.

You survived poverty (consecutive 8th place finishes) only to jump off your Brooklyn flat's balcony just cause you don't live in Manhattan.

It's a real shame we're never going to be able to put this demon in his place for once, since he's leaving in the summer

100% behind the team and Arteta

Not sure what any of you are doing during season bashing the players and manager

That's for the summer should it be warranted

We have a bunch of talentless attackers and defenders who **** themselves under the slightest pressure.

This league title chase is over.

We lose to City and Newcastle, then win the rest of the games, lose the title, and pat ourselves on the back saying we at least tried. Same thing over and over again.

Some will say it’s Arteta’s fault and they might be right for the most part, but what about the players? Regardless of what the coaches tell you tactically and strategically, you’ve got to want the league yourself and show some ambition.

They fumble when it really matters. Should they fail again this year, Arteta will probably have to go for everyone’s sake, including his own, and we will start all over again.

I don't think we would be able to go over again next year if we lose it this year. It would be to much, I think we will enter a collective deppresion era. Probably our star players Saliba, Gabriel even Rice would start to flirt with other clubs. I won't blame them tbh. Arteta will get minimum another year no matter the outcome of this season. That would be to much to bear. You just can't lose the League from our position.
I think this season would determine the path of this club for the following 10 to 20 years.
I do hope next weekend Arteta and co proves us wrong and batter City but is very unlikely.
It's strange how our indivduals **** their pants when it matters most starting with Raya even Saliba and Gabriel not to mention Ødegaard. Tight battle for worst captain between him and Gallas.

I don't think our manager wants to in all honesty. He's a Guardiola fanboy first and Arsenal manager second.

I have a rule which is helping me with this club. I can't be angrier than the people being paid to win games and manage the team to wins. If they don't care, there's no reason I should.
