Battle of survival between the two managers
Premier League Festive Season
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Were pretty crap against West Ham too
Let's hope Arsenal doesn't collapse in the second half.
Watch them lose to West Brom now.
Feck Sarriball
Of course hes a gooner. Remember "WILLLTTOOOOOORRRRDDDD" for some scrappy rebound tap in from 2002?
Berbatov? Aubameyang?
Burnley have a strategy.
Chelsea’s is;
buy loads of quality players then feck about with them
So yeah we're just doing our bit to keep Arteta in a job. You're all welcome.
Didn't expect this. Fair play to Arsenal and Arteta. The young players have really turned up for him.
Might be an important game in the fight for the Europa League places
No creativity. They have found their lingard in mount.
Oh, missed it. Does it say Lego?
So....is Lampard a PE teacher now?
Lampard should have this squad closer to the top of the table imo.
Lose again after this and then when in full crisis they'll beat City. Its how this season is gonna play out. Crisis is like an std one manager transfers to another.
Always said Arteta was an elite manager
Or AGUEEEERRROOH!
Don't they play on opposite sides of the pitch?
Tyler with the rhymes
Arsenal stepping up for our lack of finishing.
Chelsea have not been in the game at all. Not been able to string 3 passes together. Tammy Abraham is nowhere near good enough. Horrendous touch. Zero control in CM. They have 3 in CM but being out played by Xhaka and Elneny.
Nope. Its try to be a progressive attacking side, fail and revert to passing to James to spam crosses... Realise Tammy is shit and bring in Giroud who wins them the next 4 games out of 6.
Yeah sorry they do. I've had a few at this stage. Should have gone for him over Telles then
Totally expected this btw.
Totally agree. Are you fast and direct? Go to Germany?
Chelsea have been very poor. As much as Werner loves to miss a chance, he still looks a threat for them.
With the exception of a fully fit and in form Pulisic, you can say that about the rest of this Chelsea side. A lot of 6/10 level flat track bullies who are being appallingly coached. 250 million spent and make the team worse is some feat by Lampard.
Had a weird feeling about the game when saw the teams. Arsenal been better all over the park.
Arsenal have been very good. Tierney has dominated that left side and Xhaka has produced some great passes at times.
Why has he been playing Tierney as a CB?
Learning from the best in Ole and Pogba.
Pogba kept him in the job for the past 3 months.
Well he is older than football itself
Ofcourse he is and have been. The age-discrimination in this league by some fans and clubs is wierd, to be honest. Abraham isn't even worth a 1/3 of Giroud. Just because you are young brittish "talent" doesn't mean you are better than old foxes.
I’m not saying they never work, I’m just saying I wouldn’t put my trust in a player who had had only done it Bundesliga. Of course there’s going to be exceptions.
Alex Scott would get it 
Of course he did dear, of course.
Chelsea fans have been quiet on here lately after a strong start. It's looking like Liverpool, City and United will eventually pull away from the chasing pack with their consistency.
As for Arsenal, really surprised at this. It was hard to see where they would pick up a win. Lampard talks a good game, he needs to start backing it up after splurging in the market.
Can still see Chelsea coming back and getting a result from this.

You make it sound like it's an outlandish or bold statement. Of course he should. Yes these players need some time to bed in but he should do better with these.
