UEL R16 1st Leg: Rennes v Arsenal | March 7, 2019 17:55 GMT | BT Sport

Hearing the players got some verbal abuse from the travelling fans at the airport last night

Moronic. It’s not like the players aren’t trying.

We were on a hiding to nothing and we duly got the hiding.

 

[GDeep™]

First time we’ve lost away to a French team in European football.

Yes it was really poor and lack of awareness but that mistakes you expect young players to make

He (Guendouzi) did the same thing in the FA Cup against ManU on Martial's goal - slow to react and very lazy getting back. But he's Emery's golden boy so...

But he's Emery's golden boy so...

More because he’s 19 and thrown in the deep end, learning on the job. I don’t mind it as long as he’s learning from it.

Lots of excuses being made for Guendouzi (and I like Guendouzi), but if you are going to dole out playing time based on "effort" then Guendouzi repeatedly letting goals in due to being too casual or lazy should see him spending more time on the bench.

He's done it just about every game he plays , surprised no many have picked it up .

 

[Rimaal]

I blamed Wenger when he was here for every loss. And I shall similarly blame Emery now that he's here for every loss.

We didn't fire a club institution and a legendary manager just to hire a pale copy of the legend in his declining years.

That is not why we let Wenger go!

Not sure I'll bother going to the game on Sunday. Maybe Emery is happy for to see us to lose to Yanited. I'm not.

It's simple: if we put our first XI out for this game we won't win on Sunday for sure and the CL probably drifts away from us. All we need is to keep this tie alive for the home leg and win it there.

Emery should be able to leave half a dozen starters out of the line-up and still get a result there but he's not going to so it's win the Europa League or no CL next year.

I was there and loved it. And I was right. If we'd lost today it would have been season over and the reason we won it was Yanited tired more than we did. If we'd had a more rested first XI we'd have walked this today.
