Up the Arse! Goons Thread

Cant locate it, 3 other matches are on there only.

It is not being broadcast anywhere.

Yes I figured that out the long way instead of checking beforehand

Looks like we haven't missed much...

The culture Arteta is trying to instil is to take every game seriously, every competition seriously, trying to breed a culture of winning and high performance etc.

He was there at City when they’ve won recurring League Cup trophies and aim to go deep in every competition on offer. Winning these last two fixtures and getting to the World Cup break on a high would be right up there in his thinking.

Many fans (myself included) usually react with “meh it’s just the league cup”, but I reckon that’s mostly a fan view. Internally, the players would want to go hard for it. Losing that semi to Liverpool in January this year and limping out of the FA Cup would be relatively fresh still.

This aged well.

This aged well.

From the subs he made he was still going for it. But anyway seems Brighton were comfortably the better the team and deserved the win.

Onto the weekend and 3 points against Wolves ensures Arsenal remain top until after the break - get it done Arsenal!

Stopping in the middle of the season for a World Cup just feels weird.

This loss just shows our next best 6 or 7 ain't up to it
My opinion

Yep we have to reinforce in January no question.

 

[andana]

The first half was ok nothing special. Nelson our best. I fell asleep in the second half.

 

[windyhill]

Perennial trophy dodgers going out eases the pain.

 

[Kipz]

I'm glad we are out of that comp. 4 comps next year was always going to be too much. Hopefully it wakes the hierarchy up that we need to buy a few players in January, our second string players aren't up to it

League cup is lowest priority out of them all so not upset. I do like winning but.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

We just don't have a squad deep enough with enough quality to compete on multiple fronts at this point in time.

Yep there’s gaps across the squad that clearly need strengthening. I watched Arteta’s press conference and he said pointedly the squad is still “very very short”.

January will be very important.

 

[Cruyff14]

White has made the WC squad.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

8 of our first choice eleven at the World cup, only ones missing are Odegaard, Gabriel and Zinchenko.

Tomiyasu also goes.

Ramsdale, Saka and White

Saliba

Xhaka

Partey

Jesus and Martinelli

Doing well over there.

 

[glenferry23]

Same XI from the Chelsea match.

 

[glenferry23]

Holy crap City lost! Get this done Arsenal.

Definitely was not high on the things I expected to see.

 

[Cruyff14]

This is not good for Granit.

Xhaka. *.

Hope that’s not his World Cup.
