Up the Arse! Goons Thread

[HODGEYROAD]

Generally opinions are skewed in moments such as these. But these games can afford us a certain clarity when rating certain players.

It's fair to say the absolute deadweight we're carrying in the side is, after fluking our way through Christmas, having the appropriate and predictable effect on our results.

> Ramsey is a useless, ill-disciplined, tactically inept hack. Capable 4 years ago of running a midfield, the only way for him to impact a game now is to play at the point of a midfield that is absolutely dominating weak opposition, and where he has yards of space in front of him with no pressure whatsoever. He is not a CM's arseh*le, he's inconsistent, he's selfish and he's mentally weak on the pitch. In short, he can't be relied on.
> Coquelin not fit to start, Elneny presumably not fit/well to play left Flamini there. His lack of contribution to our team doesn't need further explanation. But the blood boils when considering the amount of time we've persisted with a player of his ilk making regular appearances. Unfortunately it appears this was a forced move, but hopefully one we don't have to see ever again.
> Walcott, Ox and Welbeck. Not one decent winger amongst them. Genuinely forgot Walcott was playing for a 20 minute period after his introduction. A good player does better with that one-on-one.
> Gabriel was average. Time will fix his nerves. Much better than a few others.

We are no longer in this title race. Sp*rs have scored more and conceded less than us and are the only other chance outside of Leicester and Man City. Wenger will moan about the whistle blown too early, we will continue to field deadweight players (probably until a new manager comes in, unfortunately) and excuses will be made for a side that has had a month to forget. Ozil, Sanchez and Cech can hold their heads high. The others can get ******.

Ozil and Sanchez will demand transfers in the summer I've said it all along.

Still only five points off. Leicester and city play each other next week. Can claw back points there. Then I think we play Leicester which if he win, that's more points clawed back. Tonight's result is not ideal. There are some deadweight/players out of form but there's still fourteen games left. We usually have a slump before hitting our straps. Hopefully it starts soon though.

Spurs are comfortably a better side than us at the moment. We're lucky Vertonghen is out which should lead to dropped points for them eventually. But we won't peg back all 3 clubs.

> Giroud tries. That's it - he tries. Sometimes the trying works, sometimes when we need goals the trying doesn't work. Not world class, but he tries. Good on him. Sometimes chasing a game requires a striker with different strengths, but alas, we don't have one. But he tries. And grimaces.

Lol at not noticing Walcott, so true. I guess we shouldn't be surprised by this choke, it's so bad that you've gotta laugh about it.

 

[charcoalchicken]

Watching the title slip away is pretty shit house

 

[Benno_900]

We've just let Spurs overtake us.

GG league - focus on the FA Cup.

 

[windyhill]

If it means Wenger walks away gladly

So cutting off your nose to spite your face then .

We will hit our straps when we are well and truly out of title contention and the battle for 4th is on a knives edge come April and everyone will be celebrating like ******s.

We need the bloke gone what other manager would have 200 million in the bank and rely on Flamini to start 13 league games ?

So who comes in ?

 

[mad_monkey_j]

And everyone was waiting for Leicester to shit the bed...

 

[HODGEYROAD]

So who comes in ?

Well all my options that I wanted have already been taken but at this point I'm not to fussed look at what Poch is doing with the yids a team that's not gifted with players like Ozil and Sanchez yet still better than us.. All I know is we are going nowhere with Wenger at the helm.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

It will. When we resume European games. Especially if we stay in the FA Cup. It will catch up with us. We'll get top 4 but shouldn't have enough for the league.

 

[Shoei]

So who comes in ?

That's the issue.

We don't anyone that can come in and that's a damning indictment of how poor this squad is. Ramsey, Walcott and Flamini are allowed to turn in rubbish performance after performance because it doesn't matter, they'll play again next week as there are no other players to challenge them.

Arseblog on Flamini - "Made some inexplicably poor passes this evening. He tries, and he runs, and he points, but those are things most of us could do"

Walcott - "He came on in the 62nd minute, the game went to 96. He made just 2 passes, lost the ball a few times, and missed a brilliant chance to score."

He now has 1 goal in 16 games. 10 years a professional footballer, 26 years old, 100k a week and 2 passes in 34 minutes of football. I mean honestly, whats the ****ing point?

Putrid.

 

[PendlePie]

Ozil and Sanchez would be mad to sign contract extensions. Absolutely mad

The rubbish they have to play with each week is unbelievable. Ozil, Sanchez, Cech, Koscielny...and Flamini.

**** wouldn't get a game at Norwich.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

The no1 reason Wenger must go is he will persist with his overrated players Ramsey, Oxlade, Theo ( injury prone players like Jack) and site other reasons like Luck, injuries and poor refereeing as to why we failed to win this piss poor league #enoughisenough

 

[PendlePie]

If you analyse our squad, RM/RW is the one position you'd suggest we bat deepest. But out of Ramsey, Walcott, Ox, Welbeck and Campbell - who has played well there? Campbell has shown the most of all of them, and that's only in a handful of games.

Wenger will deflect by moaning about the refs and complaining about luck and bad finishing. But these sorts of games occur too frequently, and it comes back to the players we do have (and the players we don't), and how they're inexplicably persisted with.

So much deadweight, so much choking, so much ignorance. The same story, rinse and repeat, year after year. For ***** sake. Is someone ever going to be held accountable? Last summer, we have how much in the transfer budget and yet in the entire world of football there's not one quality outfield player we can identify and broker a deal for?

Spare me you stingey prick.

 

[mikeh]

This season is following a familiar pattern unfortunately. I was very optimistic at Christmas time about our prospects given Chelseas decline but that confidence has gradually ebbed away. We have not scored a goal in 3 full EPL games. It has been blindingly obvious to everybody but Wenger that Arsenal create enough chances to win most games but there is a desperate need for a striker to put them away consistently. Why Wenger didn't recruit someone when he knew Wellbeck would be out for most of the season is beyond me. Leicester have a class striker and look where they are. They have about half the talent as the Gunners but much more desire and teamwork and a savvy manager to boot. This is still salvageable but it will require a long winning run and to be honest I'm not sure if they want it enough

 

[Cruyff14]

I think a lot of people are overreacting.

I am sure the same detractors will be smiling next week if we win.

 

[PendlePie]

We've taken 9 points from the last 21. Not sure anyone's overreacting more than just trying to apportion blame for an absolutely dismal run of results.

Shouldn't someone or some people be held accountable?

 

[Benno_900]

I think we're being harsh on Ramsey - he pretty much has to cover the entire CM playing with the trillionaire alongside him.

Would like to see him play a few games with Coq before writing him off. Can't recall them ever starting a game together in CM.

Ox and Theo can both **** off though.

 

[foxtrot36]

I think a lot of people are overreacting.

I am sure the same detractors will be smiling next week if we win.

When the opposition have more scoring shots then us at home there is something drastically wrong
Tighten mid and defence up and attack on the counter that use to be our trade mark not anymore wingers legacy is that teams are not afraid of us and all teams fancy their chances of winning against us
Stuff the revenue we should have stayed at highbury
Spurs and Leicester don't have big stadiums

 

[Ozil]

Let's just take a deep breath.

 

[PendlePie]

Or we could, you know, stop choking season after season due to the same silly mistakes.

That might help.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

I think a lot of people are overreacting.

I am sure the same detractors will be smiling next week if we win.

No one is overreacting as we have seen these poor results come in spurts far to often over the last decade... 37 goals in 24 games would have to be one of the worst returns in Wenger's reign not to mention how many players have regressed over the past 18 months. As For Giroud I will mention him he's a decent player and he has been in our top 5 or so this season but I told you a run games without scoring was around the corner. I'm just trying to work out if we need 4 or 5 top quality signings or we only need a couple and a new manager as it's Wenger making the current crop look so poor.
