Says something when Henry is admitting he was embarrassed to watch us

it is why Thierry (and preferably a few others of the old guard) needs to take over

I admit that I'm a Wenger fanboy myself, but today was all on him. That was pure mismanagement. Ok we need a CM and maybe a CB but he had the personnel to beat this Liverpool team or at least come out with a draw. You don't put the best LB in the league (arguably) on the bench to deploy an out of form RB instead. You don't put both Lacazette and Giroud on the bench and start Welbeck. You don't start with Holding against Liverpool away after the nightmare he had in the opening day while the club captain is watching from outside. The leeway Özil has been getting is beyond anything acceptable. He is a waste of space and has nothing to do in this team as far he performs like this.

CHANGE IS NEEDED AND IT HAS TO BE DONE NOW!

Spot on. Let's also mention that as incredible as that Barca side was, (and while they would absolutely have won the league in England) that style of play is much less conducive to English football. Literally every team that has won the league since our Invincibles has played like the Invincibles. They may not have been as talented but they have all played the same style of strong, physical, fast counter attacking football. That is the blueprint for victory in England. We invented it. Instead of embracing it, we run from it.

Hopefully with Real Madrid set to dominate for a few years, Wenger might eventually copy their style. Tiki taka was a flash in the pan of football history.

Let's take Wagner from Huddersfield.

Kroenke won't notice the difference

It sickened me watching the game and thinking how much better we'd be with a Jordan Henderson in our side. Not technically gifted, not especially quick but does his very simple job to the absolute letter and organizes those around him to do the same. So very simple and yet something that has been missing since Vieira left. Football is such a basic game that we make look so difficult on days like this. Sigh.

The part of your post that worries me is that Wenger will be here to have the opportunity to copy it in a few years.

Are we allowed to say 'Wenger out' yet?

Gary Neville pinpointed Özil straight away during parts of the game.

Most Arsenal game I've watched with him on commentary, he's always had a tendency to criticise him.

I'm not sure, what he has against him but why he's not mentioning Ox jogging back. Hmmm it could be because he's part of the England setup.

Neville is a clueless Manc **** who looks like the spawn of giant rodents. That's the thing.

That fourth goal really f*cked me off. Yes it was a quality cross from Salah I think but it was pretty disgusting from Koscielny.

Seeing him wearing the captain's armband after essentially turning and watching Sturridge put it in the net made me pretty angry.

 

[Lookin' for a new Baby]

At times we looked like school boys on a park field, just sticking a foot out in our penalty area hoping rather than management that the ball would ping to a team mate. Usually it went to the opposition. The first goal came from us losing the ball when coming out of defence. We did that several times. For one of their goals there was not one payer in our half except Cech when they broke away. Zero shots on target says it all.

Neville lays the blame firmly on the players as an ex pto himself.
He called out Ox,Özil,Alexis,Xhaka and Ramsey especially accusing them of failing to do the most basic of things-like running back.
I'd happily sell them all right now.

Neville needs to ask himself why the players keep failing to do the basics, why this is tolerated at Arsenal?

 

[Preacher]

Can we make transfer to SPFL ?

He does, he's questioned the owner, who's decisions are linked to Wenger who then puts this garbage out.

Neville strongly defending Wenger is pretty funny considering he said he didn't know whether he was naive or arrogant a few years ago.

About the only place we'd make top 4(maybe).

Apparently there was an altercation between the players before the game

Probably when they saw the team sheet.

Oh good.

I think Nevilles views on management/managers changed drastically after his period with Valencia. Understandable really.

Sauce...?
