So after this all bollocks about Sheffield United being a breath of fresh air and Wilder being some sort of hobo Guardiola are we all now willing to accept they're actually Stoke with overlapping centre backs?

I dont like RvP but his after match analysis was balanced and fair. I dont know any Gooner who wouldn't want better CB's than our current lot. And he's right about us not being in a position to challenge for the PL and we do need to play with more intensity and better connections from back to front.Robin Van Persie chatting some absolute rubbish yet again.
100% in a VAR world offside should be key. The advantage is with the defence as the attackers need to time their run 100%. 99% simply is enough. No men on the posts and high lines are the way forward. The next evolution will be defences pushing upto runners not dropping back. Push up to tackle the ball carrier while their support run offside. If you keep dropping back you give them space to run into and the attacker has the momentum whereas the defenders have to turn.I too thought it was intentional. Before VAR such tactics were difficult because you had to rely on the referee.
That probably doesn't help with the other team, credit where it's due but I still do think we can aim for a 2nd before anything.
We really need some better midfielders. Struggling to string 3 passes together. Most of the 60% possession seemed to be in our own half. But we look much much more threatening on the break. Saka is just immense under pressure.
Think this team could beat Chelsea/Leicester or United at Wembley, just need someone to take out City

We will win now by the way
Always win when we concede but it's disallowed
If we get a few top CM signings in the summer lets hope we can do a bit better in the lead next year. I felt we did fairly well in the 1st half after our penalty, controlled it relatively well, Pepe unlucky not to get a 2nd.I don’t disagree, but the problem is that the team couldn’t even string 5 passes together. We need to have the actual ball to even create a second. All we did that second half is keep giving the ball away, hoof it up only for SU to bring it straight back.
There were times where was a better, closer pass than just smashing the ball up field. That’s the problem I have with the team. We never keep possession when we are ahead and constantly invite pressure.
This isn't Nam Donnie, there are rules over here!
