Premier League 2016/17 season

The thread title should've been change after Man City game at the latest. The league was bottled by early November anyway. People shouldn't be getting mad about this result, it was already top 4, a good result or two in the CL and an FA Cup win that were and are the only remaining goals.

People shouldn't be getting mad about this result,

Really? We should not be getting mad at losing Watford at home?

Sp**s mentality that...

 

[Hyruga]

1- Walcott hasn't been in our lineup once in the past 6 league matches

2- He definitely is not the main problem

Walcotts 4th premier League loss in which he played.

Guess who can't play against a packed defence?

They shouldn't be acting like the title has been thrown away with this fixture. It was gone long ago. Yes it is a very bad result.

Look on the bright side. I'm going to enjoy Arsenal Fan TV...

The Sp**s Mentality might not be a great reference going forward if Arsenal become even bigger bottlers than them.

Not sure players them self believe they can win the title. Otherwise we would have seen better performance tonight.

For the quoted part. How is that even possible? How are we going to bottle bigger than Tottenham last year?

One day we will probably finish behind them, but it will take ages for them to move away from our shadow.

 

[say yes]

Walcotts 4th premier League loss in which he played.

Guess who can't play against a packed defence?

Also Sanchez, Iwobi, Monreal, Coquelin, Cech's 4th?

Giroud? He had zero chances today. This must be true because Walcott had chances today.

They could start by losing to Sutton Utd and becoming the first top flight team knocked out of the FA Cup by a non-league side for 28 years....

Not sure that is bigger bottling than them last year in final game against Newcastle.

It would be a very good start and would be intensely embarrassing. People would be talking about that for decades. It would get brought up and the highlights would be shown every year. It would easily be up there above lasagna gate, negative spiral gate and the Newcastle 5-0 on those terms - those ones happened so regularly that it was vaguely predictable that it would happen again. Frankly, Arsenal had bottled the title weeks before and maintaining a challenge as long as Sp**s would have been better than what they did achieve which was a consequence of Sp**s bottling rather than Arsenal doing anything good.

Walcott can't take his chances. And he can't cross/pass/dribble.

Giroud would have scored but he was tightly marked.

At least Lucas hit the crossbar. Walcott who?

 

[Hyruga]

sloppy defence and midfield.

Without Cech, Arsenal would have lost by even more.

Free passing/crosses/headers for opponents again.

Both goals are caused mainly by Ramsey. I don't think it's that fair to blame it on Gabriel or Mustafi (his first loss as a Gunners) although they are partly to blame.

 

[krackpot]

we must have a committee to choose the worst time to lose.

 

[Trilly]

We do really bad at micro plays. Think @Trilly has also mentioned it...

Throw ins, finishing, short passes, etc... So often it should be very easy for top footballer to do, we fail at it very badly...

Yep, that second goal came from such a needless loss of possession.

How can you not find your man with a throw on at the halfway line. Jesus.

I liked your post but please just release your inner Sp**s. It's super obvious.

Your mask has well and truly slipped there you Spud mug. The actual state of this clown pretending to be some eunuch for months when he's got a hard on for Sp**s.

Dream on, Spud.

And that is not end of it. We also do very badly at macro plays too.

We could get away with all the bad micro plays we do if we had clear tactics how to win the ball back. But most often when we lose the ball stupidly we haven't clue what to do bar getting into shape.

We don't want to press. We don't want to close spaces and passing lanes. We just want to keep shape and hope for the best.

 

[CurryFlavoured]

This team looks unconvincing more often than not. It's very rare I watch us and think there's even a shred of evidence that we could challenge for a title. Even in our recent run of 'good results' we've been getting last minute winners/equalisers against Bournemouth, Burnley and West Brom after 90 minutes of frustration. We're flat track bullies who'll consistently drop points in the more difficult games and occasionally have a disaster like yesterday.
