Maresca's and the SDs' futures are inextricably linked. They scouted him, they will obviously support him. There is one circuit breaker available: SDs out. Which will require an admission on the owners' part that they got it wrong. So, sadly, we are stuck with what we have.

I'm apathetic to the whole situation now and that's amazing given we're still somehow in a top 4 race.
Maresca's turgid football has made me emotionally check out this season. What the owners and sporting directors see in this guy I will never understand.
I preferred watching us under Pochettino despite its chaotic and inconsistent performances. At least he had a record of developing young players and coaching in Europe's top leagues, and the style of football was attacking in nature despite our defensive problems.
The Arsenal match played out exactly how I expected. Didn't lay a glove on them whatsoever.

Lots of possession with no end product today.
Everyone wins!
Arsenal win without having to play well or use up any energy and Maresca wins because our board just follows the data rather than the reality or the result so they will see having 59% possession away to Arsenal as progress.
He is literally no closer to getting the sack despite this feeble attempt today in a London derby against one of our rivals.

Slow non-progressive passing is what this coach is about.
Make no mistake Maresca would of written off todays game as a defeat and probably the games against Liverpool and Newcastle already as defeats as long as we get good numbers in possession and will probably see a draw at home against Man Utd or Spurs as a great result.
Saying that Arsenal have been together for 5 years before the match has even started is virtually admitting defeat before a ball has been kicked - Arsenal have no strikers left and he threw in the towel before the match!
The reality is we've got about 5 league matches left where he might, or might not install belief into the players that we could get a positive result.
We have a manager with a quitters mentality when it comes to certain opposition.
Welcome to Maresca ball.

I thought he was okay defensively, the passing mistakes he made half of them was down to the receiver. I remember one where Neto just left the pass.
All in all though yet another player that's no better than what we had in our academy.

I think him being just a yes man is obvious at this point. Even his "bomb squad" had nothing to do with ability. It was comprised of academy players and players on high wages. Players the club wanted to get rid of.

The fact he's made more errors than the Southampton keeper who's previous manager had him playing out from the back in a far, far worse team speaks volumes. These are just the errors leading to goals as well, there's countless others that could have been scored.

This is what annoys me.
I honestly think get those 4 positions sorted with proven quality and we'd possibly have a team to challenge for trophies.
Ignoring just one of those 4 important positions can cost you, but not taking any of them seriously is absolutely stupid.

If Jackson is yet again our only ST next season then fold the club.

Welcome to Maresca ball.

Standards are so low at this football club.
1-0 behind in a London derby and just stupid possession without their keeper even making a save in that 2nd half.
We are a team very happy to only lose 1-0.
That's how far our standards have dropped.

He's going to call it an improvement over last season since we didn't get humiliated enough.

We’re so powder puff, all Maresca wants is pointless passing.

8 minutes 27 seconds.

Remember the old days where you’d have players on the posts at corners?

Hopefully we can improve on last season's result in this fixture.
A 3-0 or 4-0 defeat perhaps ... 😎
Joking aside, I think we might spring a huge surprise and sneak a draw or a narrow win (it's the hope that kills you LOL)

This series of games against City are going to be very intense affairs. Looking forward to them all TBH.

Told you didn’t I.

Millie Bright has been excellent so far.
