Why oh why didn't we sign a centre back over the summer. Why wasn't our main signing starting. Why is Xhaka allowed to get away with costly mistakes without fear of being dropped. Why did our players act like ten year old and not play to the whistle?
My mood has not improved at all today. It's only got worse.

Can't remember seeing you this p*ssed.

What a brilliant game plan, it's strange that Barca don't keep Messi on the bench to bring him on later to kill tired teams

There speaks Lacazette's biggest fan

"You ask Barcelona how many english titles they have won", Arsène Wenger on why he left Lacazette on the bench.

I have to give the players the benefit of doubt in the offside decision. Silva knew he was off. Everyone in the stadium knew he was off except for the linesman. It was Late-ish in the game and the players were acceptably tired. Such an obvious decision was to be expected by a professional refree at one of the most important games in the most important league in the world.
There are 2 major people to be blamed for the loss: the linesman and Wenger.

What goes on in his head to
1. Play Coq as a CB. Seriously. One of the worst technical players in our squad in probably the most technical role.
2. Did not start with a striker, specially the 53mil striker who has been great so far.
3. Started Özil in yet another big game.
We did not stand a chance after the team was decided.

I think it's because I was so confident going into the game. We needed three points we got none and to top it off United lost to Chelsea. Ideal scenario was in my eyes if we cannot win then United and City turn it into a two horse race. My cornflakes got truly **** on yesterday.

@STATS not buying it. You play to the whistle, Silva done it, Jesus done it, Bellerin done it Kos and Character stopped dead. School boy stuff.

You wouldn't mind Mourinho winning the league?

Two things I've learned from watching matches over the years. Every manager is criticised for team selection when they lose. And often those frustrated with the loss say they saw it coming.

Nothing changes in football.

Been trying to tell everybody on here it's a three horse race, and has been since 2004, but nobody wants to listen

It's one thing for @Makingtrax to pontificate about "net spend" etc. - check out this twitter post.

Not bloody squad costs - again?

Too true bro, too true. I often wonder why some of these folks don't get into football management, they've got such a handle on things.

 

[bingobob]

Not overly. But I'd rather a one or two horse race for the league as opposed to the three or four team race it currently is. Its an uphill battle for us now and that's not factoring in Liverpool.

I'm actually applying for the managers position of my Saturday league team. Well our thirds. I've big ideas

They have a point. City squad 853m euros, United 784m euros . . . lagging behind.

Arsenal 416m euros.

How much have you got to spend?

I'm watching you bro! Actually, if you are, good luck & enjoy.

I don't think Özil did that badly, he was involved in a lot of our play and put in a shift defensively.

Sanchez did nothing except stand up front flapping his arms like he always does.

Xhaka was invisible again and made his customary unforced error.

I must have heard the commentators mention Ramsey's name no more than twice during the entire match.

Time to get rid of him. It's not based on yesterday's game but he's a liability to a team who's trying its best to keep the ball.

Not the .....

 

[bingobob]

How much have you got to spend?

Unlimited resources but I'm comfortable with the squad I've got. Even though they finished bottom of the league last season. I will focus on our own quality

This is where @bingobob puts his mon... something where his mouth is and proves your theory wrong, bro!:bounce:
