If this is still Mourinho's team then why were you calling for Ole's head? Abi you go talk say you no join?

Because Ole couldn't see that the core of the team needs to change at least

Jokerman:
Who hold Bruno back this season?

DDG

I don't think we should be going for any player that will feel bigger than the team or coach

Leyqute:
Had we returned their intensity, there’s no way they’d have won because of our superior quality.

Unfortunately, superior quality can be egotistical and play as if they don’t give a daaam

Talent without work is a waste. Huge waste

LostMyZeal:
The matter is simple and straight forward. It's obvious that we'll be sloppy in the coming TW. This means that Fred and McTom will still be here🤧

Therefore, with an arrangement like that and ETH insisting on playing out from the back, we aren't getting good midfielders. For this reason, we need a comfortable keeper.

But if we'll do serious business and get quality players, then DeGea is the least of our worries.

But if the players raise their energy level and attack every match with mad intensity from kick off to final whistle, you'll notice a lot of difference even with DDG as the keeper. We just need our outfield players to run more and pursue every ball like they're on drugs.

Leyqute:
5-1 lol.

Shame on EtH and his strikers.

They said Brighton is a very solid team, on par with the best out there. God will punish those our stupid players

odizeey:
See this one

Na troll

LostMyZeal:
Ofcourse he isn't. But it's not hard to see that DDG always makes wrong passes that end up putting the team under pressure because of his shakiness when it comes to playing from the back.

And since ETH insists on a goalkeeper being instrumental to his team's buildup play, the team needs a comfortable goalkeeper.

Everyone in the team are guilty of wrong passes even under the slightest pressure.

LostMyZeal:
If you're waiting for ETH to publicly criticize DDG, you're on a long thing


Just a reminder that naso he take hail Ororo.

But the biggest indicator for weighing that man's words is if he drops DDG as sub. So that's what we should watch out for - just like he dropped cr7

If we're being sincere, DDG is not the only player he should be dropping in this team

KingTom:
You saw it upon Gunnar's appointment, you saw it again after the COVID break... normally nothing dey shock me again

Baba we have been here multiple times. These players can't get it right. Even Casemiro has caught the virus

ChristineC:
Sabitizer and Weghorst are loan deals and that's what happens when you don't plan properly in the summer. Eriksen is a free transfer.
our season would have been worse without Eriksen. he's run out of steam, I can't blame him for that. he's lucky to be alive.
if we were serious enough about an overhaul, we'd not have loaned in players. when was the last time you heard of that in Madrid, much less City?
Malacia is not a starter, he will get his days.
Man United situation will need time and funding to realign. it's not just about playing staff; a notion many fans continue to dwell in denial over.
it's an indictment our youth teams seem to have gone flat. chopping and changing the 'obvious' will keep the club in a rollercoaster.

That Antony deal is worse that the Weghorst and Sabitzer for me

patrickmuf:
When go on a good run, people will come here to insult Rangnick for saying we need 10-15 new signings but now, everyone seems to agree with Rangnick. If Arsenal fail to win the league, it's because of the lack of options on the bench who are of similar quality or on par with the starters. Arteta noticed it late and signed Kiwior, Jorginho and Trossard in January but their top performers like Saka, Partey, Martinelli, Saliba etc are already out of steam.

To play the way Arsenal did in the first half of the season and maintain the same tempo over a full season, a large squad of quality players is needed and that's the advantage Pep has with City. Dias will sit out some games for Laporte to start, while De Bruyne can be rested for Alvarez/Silva likewise other positions.

If ETH doesn't pressure the board to sign players on time this summer and at reasonable fees (so we can get a good number of players in) then we will struggle to make top 6 next season. I don't want us to go after any player that cost more than £50-60m, in fact, £20m can get you rough gems. Don't ask me where there are, the scouts and coaches should identify them because they're there. Mitoma, Kvaratskhelia, Kim Min Jae, Tonali and co didn't fall from heaven.

The good run fooled a lot of people. Almost fooled me, but I remember I have seen this somewhere before. These players have their limit and truly they pushed themselves a lot this season but most are unteachable. Pep will discard a lot of them if he comes here. They got the carling cup with their last blood and there's no more fuel to continue. That's why I wasn't really interested in just winning a trophy but how the trophy was won and if that process can be repeated and multiplied every other places.

Maybe ETH abandoned his philosophy to accommodate the ability of the team. But if he doesn't raid the market for new players, he will be out of job soon. Well he won the carling cup

Jokerman:
🚨 Leo Messi has given his AGREEMENT to Al-Hilal! 💣

The Argentine is expected to be joined at the Saudi Arabian club by Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba. 🇸🇦

Problem for Ronaldo

Ellexy:
I hate twisting of the truth because of recency bias. ETH counted on Ronaldo being a pro but Ronaldo let him down. He never wanted to use Ronaldo as any example. He extended all the olive branch in this world and even made him captain at some point, all he demanded was professionalism.

Exactly!

Ellexy:
Which kind narrative be this?

I know what you are

When he should have binned Ronaldo and pursue a top striker in the summer, he preferred to use Ronaldo as an example. Now that he needs to show that discipline, he has gone quiet

Ellexy:
I mean even the papering has stop since his injury. Shey naim be the glue ni?

With or without him, we were always going to end up here

Ellexy:
Since that Sevilla game Martínez got injured, every thing hasn't been the same...

You've not been paying attention. Maybe the results have been papering the cracks

patrickmuf:
Where was this urgency before extra time?

The team will be playing rubbish yet ETH will stand there watching like he doesn't know his job. Pep, Arteta, Howe, Klopp will be on the touchline passing instructions to their players but ETH will just stand like a mannequin watching like he was paid to come and be watching free live games.

I say the guy looks like someone that wants to run away. No more ideas

maik99:
I thought Ralf was making excuses for his failure and we don’t need 15 players

He definitely wasn't. He wanted to force the players to play a certain way full of energy, but he already saw that it's mission impossible. He warned ETH but ego did not allow that one to hear word

If ETH had used this season to train the players on a certain way he wants to play, I'll understand. But this season is looking like another huge waste. Fuvk that Carling cup

olabode89:
God bless. People have been mentioning it. The rhetoric was that ETH needs more time.

Some didn't even want to entertain the notion that we were playing badly at all.

We were playing badly long before the results started to get bad but we sounded pessimistic to others when we discussed these things. As long as we were managing to win, let's ignore those things that can come back to derail our campaign later

ETH looks like someone that wants to run away

Westham are even winning the second balls in our box. God abeg

Well tbf ETH bought himself some time with that Carling cup. Been a while we won anything

Another year of Europa is not that bad sha

8 shots, 0 on target. DDG has to go

ETH you were warned but strong head no allow you listen

Leyqute:
Who?

They know themselves

Smh

Can these guys just hit the target at least
