Benfica rinsed us for Enzo. About as athletic as Jorginho and today he's hardly touched the ball.

He'll be fine under Pochettino and was playing very well under Potter aswell.

In a back 3. 

I think Frank has come back to sabotage us, not help us. He knows he's leaving at the end of the season and can't be bothered. It's transferred to the players. Can't even be bothered to make changes ffs, just sits/stands there .

This midfield...

How can Lampard stick with this?  

 

Dreadful

Fck sterling.. whoever thought buying him was a good idea..

imagine City now bottles it

What a pitiful attacking sequence just then.

Not sure why I'm sitting here watching this. 

I'm watching MasterChef. I'm at my parents for a few days and my Dad is an Arsenal fan and for the sake of the household my mum insisted we stop. 

Apparently she could only take so much of me calling Sterling and Kovacic tossers.

.. even Avram could manage a team surely it’s not that hard…

I don't understand this. Are you trying to denigrate a manager that achieved success over 30 years as a manager before becoming a Director of Football at Chelsea? If so, to what purpose?

I just don't understand the comment at all. 

I'm not saying he's the best thing since sliced bread but surely you aren't trying to suggest Lampard is better or should be doing better than Avram did? 

Come on Martinelli!  I’ve got in my fantasy team and I care a lot more about that than this lot.

sorry frank , but it was your dumb choice to come back, you never learnt your trade, you should have ..sadly i think you have now become a manager nobody will want. go away for long break . manage 1st division teams after a year or better still be an assistant manager. or be a pundit.

Jorginho has never played in this atrocious context, he was one of the best players under Potter.

It’s annoyed me that the commentators have said that “Arsenal have played sensational footballers tonight”. What?!! We’re the easiest team to play against..

Sterling needs a team around him. He won't drag the team through adversity

Cucurella Sterling KK Mudryk say hi!

Not fit to wear the fking shirt.

Wow. Managed to f**k up a 4 on 2 counter.

Yes and No. There are guys on this forum I bet, that play football to varying levels of quality. Those that do play to a reasonable standard will still have that inner desire to keep fit, shuttle runs, gym work.  When step 3 and 4 footballers are strapping weighted rucksacks to their backs and pounding the pavements in the rain to keep fit, the least these clowns can do is run like fck for the few hours when they are at the hotel like surroundings at Cobham

Fair enough. I think there’s a question of degree. They’re all super fit compared to the average Joe. But the requirements of the modern game are such that they really need to be pushed to the absolute limit in terms of fitness. Like way beyond what seems natural? Those who can achieve that required level on their own / without outside motivation are rare.

Did a quick MS paint picture to show you the level of tactical awareness that has gone into this game.

 This exact scenario has happened all first half, and directly lead to the first 2 goals. ANd yet, nothing has changed from either the players or the coaches.

Honestly it's so f**king infuriating. Kante should just stay in that gap. I know he isnt a dm, but neither are Kovacic and Enzo, and I fancy Kante to do a much better job.
