may ogun kill any one that try to bring bredan rogers

simone for me we need to build some defensive tactics

Since Wenger lost Pat Rice, he has never been himself. May be he was the secret behind our past successes.

I would not mind Simeone's ultra defensive style, what has fancy football done for us in the last 10 years.
I would gladly take winning ugly right now.

I will take trophies to fancy football too. But we have our history.

sleekdot:
Hmm Spy360 the same Pep that was overrated and you swore will not win anything in England abi eruditor no dey see?

Obviously he is close to passing the test.

chuckdee4:
Wigan didn't get whitewashed
There is a way we could have lost 3 - 0 and it still wouldn't have been bad
That team on Sunday went there, rolled over and got f**cked, with no resistance (Reminded me of how teams used to get done by United in the Ferguson era because of fear).

The fuss is about putting up a fight, only Wilshere seemed to care

I'd rather we analyze who the next manager should be than ranting about if Wenger should leave.

Everyone is talking about Henry.

But I'll go for Leonardo Jardim of Monaco. Someone who can cope with our stingy owner and yet win somwthing.

Another is Simeone, but I don't know if I will enjoy his ultra defensive style.

sod09:
you still don't get it do you, it's not because we lost but the manners and body language of the playere....no drive or fight
Everyone was strolling on the pitch except wilshere
We can't keep finding excuses for the old man when it's obvious he has past his time already,even the players wants change

No one is giving excuses. Wenger must leave either this year or next.

The point is why bring up this issue whenever we lose game, like the issue weren't there all the while.

The Wilshere you mentioned was even poor in that game. All the players were poor. The manager's tactics, poor.

But it was against Manchester City not a division one side.

chuckdee4:
You don't get it, I wasn't expecting us to win.
The manner in which we lost just shows how far back we have fallen.

This is a team we beat last season in the FA Cup (Minus their new inclusions). Is it then acceptable that we have become so inferior to City in the space of a season.
While City were boosting up their squad, what did Wenger do to match them and other teams?

Bros this Wenger matter don done, someone should come and stick a fork in it

May be they should have focused on defending just as Wigan did.

May be they should have gone for all round attack just as Liverpool did.

Which ever option you take, against a team like Manchester City, you risk being white washed

So then why all the fuss,?

If City had played badly and we won (by mistake), would all these rantings from Ian Wright and you all come up?

I think we are all just being bitter, and playing the blame game.

We lost to City, Pep's City arguably the best team ever in PL and we are throwing tantrums like spoilt brats.

Cool down, if that final was so important, Man Utd and Chelsea should be crying more.

Besides do we deserve the cup more than City? City invested more so they deserved it.

Arsenal is behaving like an outdated phone. We need that reset button.

Where is the finals? Can't find it.

sod09:
just go with Milan they won't break your heart more than wengay boys have done...
With welbeck in attack we are guaranteed to lose, lacazette will miss both legs and auba is ineligible

Milan aren't in a better situation themselves. I see it as a loser's round, where the loser gets lost.

I can only hope Lacazette would give us a surprise return, as for the chicken footed Welbeck, ...

SimpleTee:
Does 911 ever work in Nigeria?

She said 991 nigga. What does that tell you
Shiit doesn't work here.

Interesting how players betray their manager's trust.

Today's starting line up...
433

........................... Ospina ...........................
Bellerin . Chambers . Holding . Kolasinac
................... Elneny ........ Niles ..................
........................ Wilshere (c) ......................
........... Iwobi ....................... Welbeck .......
......................... Nketiah ............................

Wenger giving youth a chance. Wilshere on captain duties (future skipper or new deal?). Nice to see Eddy Nketiah starting. Lad has a good scoring pedigree and enjoys a good partnership with Iwobi.

patrickmuf:
No, I think he was already registered to play in the EUROPA league with Dortmund.

OK. This is quite understandable.

BlueRayDick:
U can only play in Greater Europe if u have played for another club in lesser Europe in the same. However same is not applicable for the reverse case. U cant play in Lesser Europe if u had starred for another club in Greater Europe that same year. Its the rule I think.

My point is it doesn't make sense.

I am yet to understand why Auba can't play Europa, when Batshuayi and Giroud can play CL.

Roland17:
Shey na every week Ozil dey sick ni?

Hehehe. Don't mind Wenger, he uses small lies to keep his star players out of the spot light ahead of big games.

What the hell...
Why not start Sanchez at CF instead of that jambody Lukaku
Damn it!
Ain't supporting this shitty club anymore.
Off to join Arsenal.
#NoLongerAScummy

What nonsense is this
Why can't Mourinho start Sanchez as the center forward Instead of Lukaku
Bullshit...
Can't support this club anymore.
Off to join Arsenal.

knick:
Who goes missing for 90 minutes and score a tap in? MESSI.

Who said this shit

What kind of stupid club us this. Why not bring on Giroud?
Bullshit... Can't support this club anymore. Off to join Arsenal

LORD have Messi...

All Shekpites, I hope you have eaten...
Because after tonights Group Intimacy, you may not have the appetite to eat again.

Bullshit...
Why are we so scared
I hate this club
Off to support Arsenal, they have more grit

Once I checked live score and Chelsea or Man Utd are losing, I will go and watch. I love watching them lose. The tension and pain on their faces is a joy to behold.

To all shekpites I decree...
This NIGHT is your NIGHT

What a useless club.
Don't tell me Giroud is starting ahead of Morata. If that happens I will abandon this shitty club and go and support Arsenal. Nonsense.

Let's sing a worship song my fellow Chelsea fans...

Today Today
Tomorrow no more
If I die today
I will die no more

My formation against Barca is 4-4-1 with Azpi as the 11th man with a brief to follow Messi anywhere he goes:

____________________Courtois

Moses____Christensen_____Rudiger______Alonso


Willian_______Kante_______Drinkwater_____Hazard


____________________Morata


Azpi as spare man to follow Messi everywhere.

We have no chance, but this is the best I can think of.

5-4-1
Recipe for disaster.

Moses and Alonso will push up leaving young Christensen and calamity Rudiger to save your ass.

You and that your client are not serious

And also the client. lol

imagine arsenal europa cup club thread making front page and Liverpool thread was omitted . na wa o

Form is temporal, Class is permanent.

chuckdee4:
Been saying the same thing for a while now, this has come about as a result of a decline in our midfield.
We used to boss teams in the middle of the park and win games even without a top notch striker, since Cazorla's injury we have become pants in the middle of the park, none of our midfielders can get into Spurs team (Think about that, SPURS!!!)

Anyway there is only one person who is to blame for the poor imbalance in the team, if the board have any balls they should serve Wenger his papers, time's up

The problem is not with the defenders but the defense. Not the personnel but the system/structure.

Every top team with good defence has a player dedicated to shielding the back four- Fernandinho, Matic, Diet, Kante etc. Back in the days we had certain Gilberto Silva.

We used to have Coquelin, who played his best season in the role.

Against Spurs, it was Elneny but he wasn't very efficient. He is only good at passing the ball accurately.

Twice Kane, went between Koscielny and Mustafi for a free header. The second time it was a goal. This was because no one was tracking him, and the defenders had their eyes at a thousand different angles.

If the old professor could look into his old notes, may be he could find a solution to our defence.
