Forget buying players if you can't even get the team playing well. You could have the best players in the world and still look rubbish.

It's the manager. He needs to fix this. Step 1 - play 4 3 3. Step 2 - stop allowing attacking players to float around, especially the wingers Step 3 - fix the training sessions because they must be shit

Not much to do then

All good and well, but what are your thoughts on Matic?

Don’t you know ole is responsible for everything the players do on the pitch?

Van gaal’s coaching must have been awful, mourinho’s coaching must have been awful. Maybe it’s not the coaching. Maybe it’s attitude, character and the dressing room dynamic which makes them look badly coached. Some people are complaining about the roof when the actual problem is the foundations.

Aye, because those established players were brilliant and reliable.

From what I recall, ole said it would take time to change the dressing room dynamic and build the team, so I have no idea where you get the idea he was expecting something spectacular this season.

17 year old Messi would struggle to show his talent against the likes of Rochdale and Astana?

Are you on £#%&!ing meth?

So far we've watched them against Rochdale and AZ Alkmaar, i'm sorry but that's hardly throwing them to the £#%&!ing lions is it. If you have pretentions of playing at the top level, you should, in theory, be able to stand out against teams of this level.

Fact is the game just passes most of them by

Hard to argue with that.

As shit as we are, you’d expect to see at least something if they were good enough. Greenwood has done his bit. I genuinely haven’t seen anything from Gomes or Chong yet that has made me take notice.

Chong won’t make it but Greenwood, Gomes, Garner and Axel will
Stupid to judge a young player coming into this shambles

Ole the thick £#%&! needs to stop with this 4 2 3 1. We pick.up the ball and have two center backs behind it and two center mids infront of them.

The fullbacks are then in floating positions where they are neither forward or back.

Every time we start the attack we have around 5 players in our half or on the edge. Combine this with a lack a space for our forwards as the opposition is able to be compact as they arnt being stretched and you get how we have been playing

Out

Of.

His.

Why do those young strikers at Arsenal have no problem tearing poorer teams apart?

Wow!

Have I ever posted a tweet without checking it’s true first pal?

That Brazilian looks decent.

Tierney too.... only 25m wasn’t he?

Can you give us a clue?

He’s got to go now, it’s beyond a £#%&!ing joke tbh.

Nope. Been in the job 9 months and we've regressed. Can Ole even do what needs to be done?

At least give him a chance with Martial and Pogba in the side for a few games. Not been helped by injuries.

Dont be silly..its a dead european game . One in which we can have no expectations of playing well because its a nothing competition.


( my guess is attitude and a coach whos tactics which may not work all the time , still play with an attacking intent)

Tierney the full back is running things..almost as.if pushing the full backs forward helps create space in the center

Who ?

If you mean Ole, then who do you think will be hired to replace him ?
