Most of their problems are due to their board's incompetence.
Because he won a game of football?
Young players need older players alongside them .
Because he's won a HALF of football !!
Xhaka scores a goal and all of a sudden he’s a critical player despite being fecking awful for years
Not those kind of older players. The kind that can turn the dressing room against the manager. He is a sneak.
Idiots want to sack Ole, to be fair.
Thanks, I thought I was going bonkers there and was starting to doubt myself. Like 'has Xhaka actually been underrated?'. I'm not one of those 'I've not watch him a lot but every time he plays he looks..' type of people who post those comments but it really couldn't be more true with Xhaka; every time I watch him play, he looks proper bad, like a Herrera at his bottom level consistently.Xhaka scores a goal and all of a sudden he’s a critical player despite being fecking awful for years
Trust the process?He's gonna fluke a win against City or Chelsea
It's so obvious
We came in 3rd last season, no way Arse are finishing 3rd this season.
Yes, but not David Luiz.
Not really. This time last year, our side had great underlying numbers (4th best xG and best xGA after 15 games) and if you think about the fixtures - all of them - we were unlucky to drop points in a lot of games - Pen miss vs Palace and Wolves costing us 5 points, 2 points dropped vs Southampton despite being clearly better, Villa and Newcastle scored a couple of worldies against us and so on.
3rd was almost unimaginable in the first half of last season (pre Bruno) where we were utterly dire most of the time. Not saying Arsenal will get top 4 but they're not as bad as where they are. If they string a few wins together they could still be an outside bet for Europe. Need a big Bruno-esque signing in January though.
No wonder people want Ole sacked if they think we’re as bad as this arsenal team
I'm not with either of you. Nobody knows at this point. He turned it around today. We'll know in three rounds or so if that was a fluke or not.
I wasn't aware of stuff behind the scenes about Luiz.Yes, but not David Luiz.
Didn't say anything about Ole being sacked at all
but last season was pretty dreadful a lot of the time until January, despite winning a few big games (Spurs and City at a point where morale was seriously low). I think people now just want to craft a narrative that it was always going to turn into something good when in reality we were going through a rough time and the performances weren't good at all. I didn’t mean to make out that you mentioned anything about wanting him sacked, just if there’s a general view that we were as bad as this arsenal team then I’m not surprised by it.Didn't say anything about Ole being sacked at all
As for Arsenal, I don't think they're as bad as the table suggests. They have a few fixtures coming up that look decent/winnable and If they win those then they might as well stick by Arteta for the rest of the season and evaluate from there (like we did with Ole and that turned out ok)
