Cech is such a professional fellow. Ramsey is absolutely choked. He can barely speak. We lot a lot of what made us Arsensl last season. I think after this season, there's nothing left beyond Kos and Monreal.

I don't think that this Arsenal side lacks quality, it just lacks brain cells.

What amazes me, consistently the last couple of years, has been the ability for the team to understand their role and position perfectly for a game, but then look like herded cats the next.

The goal for BHA is a perfect example of this. That would never happen to City. But there isn’t just one reason for this.

First, when Mhki gives the ball away. That wouldn’t happen with City. Their players are technically better than ours, but they also know when they can risk a pass. Mhki was either unaware of his surroundings or being needlessly reckless. But this goes for Lich, who should be aware of his own limitation when it comes to agility, and Torreira, who should be aware of Lich’s run. Xhaka is then covering. I wouldn’t even want Busquet’s 1v1 like that because of pace. It’s a **** show from front to back.

The problem though surely comes from the lack of a system from the management. The constant changes in system can’t help, but no player looks like they know what they should be doing positionally. When we attack, the first time Laca is on the the last man, the next he has moved right, the next time he is dropping deep, the next he has moved to the left. The same goes for Auba, Özil, and Mhki. The lack of personnel is certain areas of the pitch is what hampers our attack time and time again.

When City attack, you know where Aguero, or Sterling , or Sane, or B Silva or de Bruyne will be. And if Aguero isn’t where is should be, then you know Sterling will be on the last man. If de Bruyne has moved wide, then B Silva has moved central etc. The same goes in the defensive phase.

This is clearly a lot of our problem. I fully understand the @Makingtrax argument that we are finishing about where we should be due to squad cost. I full understand that: squad cost is a great predictor of final standings. But it’s like the team accepts they aren’t that good.

If it looked like the team had a way of playing, a system for defending and breaking down the opposition, then I’d be at least content about where we finish.

We ****ing blew it. We were in such a strong positions with 5 games remaining. Even a few draws would’ve helped. Now it’s all on the Europa League. Or we’re gonna turn to this lot again next season.

I'm fuming man, how did we bottle this..

We massively let Sp**s off the hook too, I was so certain they would bottle the last game, but now it doesn't matter.
