The one small consolation is that it won't now be until the weekend that we get trashed.

When you post early few read or comment
My view, was there anyone from our starting 11 that would have started for Arsenal ?
I doubt it
So, poor recruitment or setting your stall at a level lower
Add that to a manager who is clueless and we have a problem. This team with this manager are relegation candidates,
This team with a capable manager could finish mid table
you then question , what is our ambition and who is driving the plan
The owners provide the funding and the CEO delivers
If that is Purslow that is expected to deliver then he has failed
Time for reflection by the owners, get rid of Purslow and Gerrard , if you want to win things you need winners, There are not many that meet that criteria at B6 today

Didn't watch and just checked the score. Feel better for it.

Just look at those goal mouth scrambles in the 1st half. All over the fucking place. If it was any other team I'd be watching it and laughing my bollocks off.

Seriously, as poor as Gerrard is what the fuck was Martinez doing. Players look as shot as the manager.

Owners are full of shit.
CEO is full of shit.
Recruitment team is full of shit.
Manager is full of shit.

European football my ass.

Owners full of shit - Christ almighty.

The actual issues -

There is simply no structure of attack, I genuinely don’t know what our plan is.
The players look shorn of confidence.
Something needs to change - it might well be a change of manager, an influx of new players, a lucky break, or a combination of all those things. But it’s looking bleak.

Oh and conceding straight after scoring, absolutely unforgivable.

Accountability starts at the top.

The owners were responsible for identifying the CEO, who they left responsible to pick out a manager. Looks like they got both wrong. Lange's team was brought in under the guise that they would use analytics and find diamonds in the rough throughout Europe. That pipeline has amounted to exactly nothing at this level.

That 100m stadium renovation is going to be great when we're hosting Hull City mid-week.

This is another plate of lies we've been served. Totally and completely unqualified personal leading the club that will cost tens of millions of dollars to get rid of. This isn't politics, its fuckin football. Put a decent product on the pitch instead of worrying about the commercial aspect and vanity hires, Purslow.

The players aren't blameless, but they also aren't the ones forcing a poorly constructed 4-3-3 down our throats. Wrong players in the wrong places, hot and cold starting xi's and a mish mash of crap throughout the midfield. NO TACTICS, no style, no system. I can't blame a car that doesn't run if the person put coolant in their engine oil.

I don't know if Martinez doing an impression of Les Sealey tonight is  Gerrard's fault . That said , we were lucky to stay in the game after that first half. I think the Leicester and Southampton games will seal his fate.

He beats Man City or he's gone. We need minimum 4 points from Leicester & Southampton, so there's no point jeopardizing that by sticking with a bloke who, on his current record, would take 8 matches to get those 4 points.

Absolute horse shit from 1-11.

Martinez - wank
Mings - fucking sub Titus Bramble shit
McGinn - fat useless knacker
McGinn - less ability than my labrador chasing a balloon
Buendia - would struggle in the U11s

Gerrard - fuck off, and when you’ve got there, fuck off some more.

Bag of shite, shit fucking bastards.
We don't stand a chance with two shite McGinn's in the team.
But totally agree with you and Purslow needs to get his fucking greasy arse out of our club, the slime ball.

The scoreline flattened us

Lots of fight and some great emergency defending

The narrow setup makes it so easy to play against us, I think that is a big part of it and has been all along

I cant see him getting beyond the end of sept

So everyone except the players then??? The same players who were “full of shit” under Smith???
same players who said it's not my fault it's the managers, hate them for hiding when they need to stand up to be counted
