I can’t understand this standard of football. It is an anathema to me. Arsenal are dreadful and we are trying to buy in

VVD vs PSV?

It’s been a tough watch

Squad was on its arse in February and that’s partly why we lost to PSG and Newcastle. That was something in the summer he was going to rectify but he’s failed to get more players in hence why they all looked to leave.

It’s fine when everyone is fit and playing well but bit us in he backside now

It’s desperate and I can’t believe how quickly the wheels have come off.

Wouldn’t be LFC without the drama

It’s his decision who’s in the team. There is no way they didn’t know what would happen it was clear last year.

I’m not defending any of them it’s been a shitshow but we hit a wall in Feb last season and it was imperative we had more squad depth

No but if he doesn’t want to play him then get someone who is an option for him. Same for Endo it’s the same. He continually doesn’t play them so what’s the point keeping them.

We currently have a squad of 15 players he uses it needs to be a bigger group

We need a wide forward and CB now never mind in Jan if he doesn’t change systems which I can’t see him doing. Can’t continue with playing Gakpo and Konate as starters and if he doesn’t want Chiesa then ship him out

And most Arsenal fans bar Piers M would agree
November 30, 2025 at 8:19 PM
And that is the justification. Truth is they are terrible to watch, have been for 2 years. As an individual I expect more. Seen lots of great teams win the league and some less so but they are the worst of a bad bunch and we need to be better as a league and team
November 30, 2025 at 8:18 PM
Get that but just think it’s important. A bit like the cricket, there is a way of doing things.
November 30, 2025 at 8:01 PM
And nobody in football likes him.
November 30, 2025 at 7:58 PM
I think we are above it. It’s a difficult balancing act. You can get on board with hating on City with all the allegations of cheating but respect Guardiola as a manager. Same for Howe and NUFC but how you win is important. Arteta defended Partey and doing what he does isn’t football
November 30, 2025 at 7:57 PM
And that is the justification it’s all about winning. They have and continue to push the line of acceptably. Chelsea and Arsenal are the same. We don’t do it I except that but we are on the limits of Real/city q/f where the last 20 minutes were spent on the floor by Real. It’s not my game
November 30, 2025 at 7:46 PM
Watched their game and it wasn’t a football game. Get all the respect for Arteta but my word they are and continue to be awful to watch
November 30, 2025 at 7:36 PM
It’s not mad, both Chelsea and Arsenal can’t match us and City peak Klopp and Guardiola. Arsenal might win the league but they are a poor football team
November 30, 2025 at 6:48 PM
Hole 😂

There’s no context without speed and reaction times. They’ve all looked sluggish and I think that’s the problem.

I’m no expert but there looks to be an element of over playing and that’s why they can’t get out of this whole
November 28, 2025 at 12:10 PM
I read a bit of it sorry should have gone through the analysis but we are past the blip side with these performances.

You try things, shake things up, to try and change the narrative and Slot hasn’t done any of that.

I don’t think he has the tools to fix it, never thought that with klopp
November 27, 2025 at 10:46 AM
Klopp didn’t have a 1st choice centre back, played his holding mid there til he got injured then eventually realised moving players positionally doesn’t work.

Slot has played his 1st choice pairing and failed to try anything else. He hasn’t suffered directly with long term injuries like klopp
