Arsenal looks like they have a system and the players play by it. We have none of that.

 

 

We just need to hang in there, the back 4 of Arsenal will give us opportunities. 

Lamp needs to change the game immediately. Don't need to wait until the half. 

If something is clearly not working after 10-15 minutes, CHANGE IT. 

Frank needs to react shortly, 2-0 and it’s game over, emmerson off Jorginho on.

Lampard can only do so much. People always blame the manager for everything, but sometimes, the players they have just aren't good enough. A lot of these players haven't looked good enough for a long time now. It's up to the players to play with determination, if they don't want to do that, then they need to leave.

I want to see what Frank can produce after having a transfer window or two under his belt.

He's shown enough to keep me hopeful in the long-term future, but the slump we're enduring now will test the whole club in the short term.

Jorginho look's frustrated with that last pass from Zouma

Sportsflash:

Rangers beat Celtic 1-2 and go top of the league.

Honeymoon period long over

No hunger or desire from them so far either. They are being pushed off the ball too easily or their passing is going amiss. Being outmanned by f**king arsenal.

I respectfully disagree.

Players might lack talents and skills, but they should NEVER lack hearts and efforts.

IF they're out there playing without any hearts, efforts, or fights. That is on the manager. He's not managing the squad effectively.

Yes spurs was a false start 

Can managers go on loan?

Our players seem clueless.

They were playing like sh*t, other teams are giving them trouble too, they scraped a win and a draw since then. We need to be able to beat teams despite them playing at their best.

Have we had any attack since the match has started

How is that a yellow for Mount

One thing I don't like is that Jody Morris seems to stand talking to Lampard more than I would like. It comes across like he is getting his tactical info from Morris, rather than doing it himself. Don't see that with Pep, Klopp, Mourinho etc. Their assistant coaches generally stay put. 

It seems to me there is a Jorginho shaped hole between our defence and forwards.

Kante out probably.

People forget that this team was not a top 4 team without Hazard last season, it was in urgent need of fresh faces, but we couldn't do that because of the transfer ban. We had to rush through young players, young players that are too inexperienced to drag us out of trouble, we also had to bring back loan players that aren't good enough for a top 4 team. This squad is probably the weakest we have had in the Roman Abramovich era, that is what Lampard has to work with.

One thing about frank he makes the changes that the fans would make, he never frustrates you with substitutions, looks like he will do exactly what we are calling for here. 

Have to say this is painful to watch.

One of our players is getting sent off this match

This is shambolic. Their passing is better, they are more up for it and look fitter.

Fair yellow for me
