Poor first half. We are playing EXACTLY how how I knew (and feared) we would under Rodgers, with this team: lots of passing, few chances, no goals.

 

The fucking "system". Hilarious.

 

Bottom three here we come!

 

Yeah, there doesn't seem to be any point to the build-up. Not many runners, lots of passes to players standing still, then a Hollywood ball to nowhere.

 

We have one goal from open play in 4 1/2 matches.

How many times have jenkinson and mertersacker played a square ball or a bad pass that we have intercepted, but surprisingly done fuck all with it.

 

We lose the ball 30 yards from arsenals goal, and they counter and score.

 

The most worrying thing about this, is that our first 11 is all we have really got. Downing is shit, shelvey has played about 10 prem league games, henderson doesnt give you anything apart from a fringe swipe and the rest are defenders.

Well I think the main thing to take out of that 45 minutes is that after the new signings, sacking the manager and bringing in a new one and the binning of half a dozen players is that we still are a load of fucking shit. Good work all round.

 

 

But we have a "system" now, so that's enough to satisfy the raging spastics. We can tika-taka our way into the Championship, just like West Ham did a few seasons ago.

He's so afraid of being beaten short side he gave up fully 1/3 of the goal to the far post. He's a liability.

 

I see Reina is the scapegoat this year. It was a good finish. People would be complaining if he had been beaten at the near post but when he doesn't, its something else.

Don't think we've been too bad to be honest, we're definitely missing something in the final third though. I thought for the first 25 we were the better team and it's been 50/50 after that. Borini has been poor, trying too hard. Suarez is his usual wasteful self, we need a bit of genius from the wee man. Sterling looks as though he could be the key to getting a goal here.

We don't seem to want to defend in the midfield. Yes, Allen passes the ball neatly, but was nowhere when Arsenal scored, Sahin is getting used to playing with the others, and is a bit lost, Gerrard is just lost right now.

 

Sterling has played well, the back four have one what they can do. The midfield has to start playing, and giving the attackers a bit more to work with.

What a retarded view of the game. The only times Arsenal got at us was when they hit us on the counter, after our stupid errors. You can't do anything about that when our players are pushed forward to attack and Arsenal have so much pace going forward. We defended just fine outside of that.

 

What we need to do is stop giving the fucking ball away with stupid careless passing. Gerrard Suarez and Borini gave it away far too easily. Under Rodgers keeping the ball is pretty much good defending. A lot of the giveaways that led to good Arsenal chances weren't even coughed up under pressure, they were carelessly given away.
