If only subs before the 80 minute mark were allowed to help with fatigue...

Bruno walking off angry. Should be angry at his own shit performance.

He needs a rest. Poor management listening to a guy whose gonna give it his all, he can’t give more than he physically can do. Greenwood and VDB should have started in front of him.

The way Bruno is playing he should be in instead of him and be given a few games to settle, not half a game, a few game. It might focus Bruno and at least give him a rest.

I swear we've been talking about giving Bruno a rest for atleast 2 months now.

Depends...you could also say we made sure Arsenal didn't have the ball.

siw2007 · Jan 30, 2021

Mixed feelings about the result, a draw away to Arsenal is usually a good result but we had the chances to win the game. Cavani had guilt edge chances, they hit the bar and Pepe came close so a draw is probably fair.

Defence gets a lot of credit today, attack wasn’t clinical enough. Hope to see Greenwood on the right.

I would call this a number 2.

What an atrocious managing of a football game by Ole. Utter shit.

How do you say that then. Hes put the 11 starters most would have picked. He cant play there game for them. It was poor game had chances so did they. It was a poor draw it's been results like this all season. Didn't lose . SU was the worst game not this one. If we won that nobody be complaining about this draw. Not Oles fault .

Paul778 · Jan 30, 2021

All 3Ms are put of form. What are the odds. No urgency. Normal service has resumed.

We should put Diallo on the bench. Need someone who's going to try something there

He used to miss loads of goals, but also got plenty.

As you usually do when you put yourself about and aren't afraid to shoot. Anyone seeing that as a bad miss needs to watch it again.

The "missed chance" is actually not having left it for Martial to shoot, it was a great ball for him, not Cavani.

RUCK4444 · Jan 30, 2021

Weak approach from the players, nowhere near enough intensity.

At 60+ minutes you realize Marcus and Bruno who are so exhausted just aren’t going to create it for us. We had to make the changes earlier on. Fresh legs always helps.

What's depressing is realising how much closer we are to Arsenal in terms of progress and quality than those around us in the table.

We look so tired. Should have fecked off the cup game. Said it in the build up and got slaughtered for it. Wouldn't have dropped 5 points in the last two games if we had.

People are frustrated because they want us to win the title. But really no idea how this is realistic. We had the most difficult CL group (especially compared to City’s piss poor group), difficult league cup games against Everton and City and an FA Cup game against Liverpool while City again were playing a Sunday league team.
Of course we were always going to see the effects of all the above at some stage. The team is tired physically and mentally.
If you then also take into account that City are a better and more experienced team with a world class manager then it really shouldn’t surprise anyone that they are looking better.
I am fine with our progress so far, just hope we don’t tire our players even more by playing the first team in the Europa.

Hughie77 · Jan 30, 2021

Well another game chalked off . Not what we wanted. Go again in midweek. Then weekend then mid week etc etc. These boys have played at such a very good standard this dip was coming to be fair. There pros but also human beings , this season still long to go. Some if them looked shot . Pogba has played a lot he looked running on empty. Bruno not happening his passes are not coming off, and Cavani on another day gets 2. But that's how it goes bad game poor in areas. Let's see how it goes in next game.

There should be a bit more to management than putting the best 11 players out on the pitch otherwise i could do it. We dont have any plan or style

Also his in game management is embarassing. He couldnt even make the decision to take mctominay off it hard to be made for him. Brining martial on instead of greenwood should be a sackable offence

Who ?? He brought Greenwood on, who else James, hes not coming on in a game like this, Matic not attacking player. He had what he had already on the pitch. Ole put all his best on the pitch. Didn't happen Cavani better finish for 1st chance and unlucky for 2nd didn't happen . You cannot blame the manager.

Sure, the manager doesnt deserve any blame for our abysmal performances in every game against big 6 teams this season

Ok. You can only play with the players hes got. What did you want 2 at the back 5 up front . Then lose by a hat full. The plan and style as you say had been alright so far, the players dont I've said it before believe they can do it, until it sinks in there will be more results like this. That's not Oles fault. They need to look at themselves and believe they can do it.

Idiocy? Ha ha. Ironic considering the imaginary World you live in. The key word in your post is, IF.

Point is, he took off a midfielder for a forward and after that moment we lost the midfield battle. Plus Martial has been in terrible form for a long time now. He was not going to come on and win us the game.

Donny definitely replaces Bruno at the 65minute mark for me. Greenwood/James replaces Marcus. Players need more than 10 minutes to settle and have an impact. You have to change things up if you want to see a change in the result. Sir Alex was never afraid of bringing on fresh faces for big names if he thought they were having an off day.

Who are this season the big 6? We did ok at Anfield should have won, did ok against City, ok spurs crap. But are spurs big 6?. Foxes should have won . West ham are there beat them Everton beat them. I dont agree who are the big 6 changing every game. Sometimes it's to be negative because it's easy to. It was bad today players havent got the mentality to believe they can win these games.

SAF brought players on with Quality not just squad players. And there is absolutely no comparison with this squad with SAFs because most of those already new how to win big games new how to get teams when they smelt blood, these don't and until they do there is more games like this. Maybe VDB could have come on but that's it really and the way we were playing it would have just lit a fire under Arsenal to go win.

And it only takes a top player a second to score or create. Its easy to say these things.

So, he switched to the midfield half the posters on here were howling for.

I know bashing the manager again, its pointless. Anybody with eyes can see the players are just not on it. Blame game . I say it again these players need to learn how to win big games, when they do you see better results against the bigger sides.

You dont seem to get the point there is more to being a football manager than just picking 11 players and a formation its not fpl. The manager is also responsible for coaching patterns of play etc. We dont have a style of play at the moment or any structure to our play hence the criticism

We maybe second at the moment but we are falling back and are much more likely to end in a battle for top 4 then competing for the title

Ridiculous point you know who i am referring to when i say the big 6. And if the players dont have the mentality to believe they can win those games surely thats on the manager more tham anything?

When are we going to get a dip from City then or did our hopes of that end when they made sure that the Everton game just after xmas got moved
