purpleprincess:
Which proof do you have that i am not female? Did you see my dick? You really are more stupid than your sobriquet suggests.

Are you here to discuss football or to be an idiotic twerp? Does the gender of the person behind the keypad matter? Or do you discuss football here with ulterior motives?
I have been ignoring that baseless allegation that i may be a male because i do not really care what anyone thinks i am as it does not affect me in any way. Calling me a male will not give me a dick. But you should really think before typing rubbish with those your worthless and cursed fingers.

This is my first and last reply to you.

I respectfully disagree with your attempt to scapegoat Ozil for yesterday’s loss. Do I think we should move on from Ozil? Absolutely!!! I have said that over and over again on this thread despite how much I like Ozil. But is he the reason we lost yesterday? Absolutely not!!!

I said it yesterday and I will repeat it, Arteta, no one else should take the blame for yesterday’s loss. His player selection/ substitution left a lot to be desired. Why is Martinelli not starting? Why are playing the same midfield that started the last 2 games in such a short span? Why are we not playing fitter players? Mustafi limped off with a hamstring, do you wonder why?

Why are you speaking like we have not been horrendous at defending set pieces for more than 4 seasons now? Arteta employed zonal marking for the corner that led to the first goal. Opposing players running to the ball is one of the consequence of employing that tactics. It is basically a free header. We have seen that sort of goal against Arsenal, over and over again!

We dominated possession throughout the game but failed to convert. Do I need to remind you how many chances Laca and others scuffed and missed? Some of these chances were created by Ozil. The hockey assist for Auba to draw us level was created by who? We looked dangerous going forward in the 2nd half but the truth is our players were exhausted and fatigued, which leads me to question the level of intensity during trainings.

Are we training too hard that the players have nothing left to give during match days? We have basically been playing only one half of all our games. They could not stay on their feet or make that extra run for that pass. Arteta should shoulder this one entirely.

We have not been good since the winter break, irrespective of the wins. We went on a break for almost 2 weeks and our first game back and against Newcastle we looked jaded and without chemistry. We took the same mentality to Greece where we almost lost, save for Leno. We did the same thing against Everton but Leno saved us again but we ran out of luck against a resilient Olympiacos.

Arteta seems like a quick learner but he should be careful so he does not run the roster to the ground especially when you have very little quality to pick from. I raised this concern about a month ago before Saka went down, now it’s Mustafi who has picked form, next is who? He needs to be smart with his selections and substitutions.

Hopefully this is a learning curve for him.
I complained about the selection before the match started some people were praising him for sticking to same guys.
Trying to over drill these lazy guys will back fire, top 4 is out of our hands but it's possible. I think Leicester lost yesterday

Spy360:

The fact is that apart from Auba and Saka (incidentally both are played out of position) every other player needs to improve really to meet up with our standard. The worst for me right now is Ozil, just watching the highlights of yesterday's game, the clown was at fault for the first goal which actaully damaged everything. People blame Leno but how can Ozil just stand there like a scare crow and allow the free run and header? Totally unbelievable, shambolic. Same goes to Socratis for the second goal. So disgusting!

Talking about the 442, its actually a counter attacking formation which bypasses the midfield and allows attack mainly from the flanks. I am not Arteta but I think it will maximise the strengths of our players.
Hmmm... To me, ozil isn't the worst o. The first header, I don't know who to blame tho, cos they just all allowed the guy free run, and as zonal marking, I don't expect ozil(of all people o), to chase that guy. At least, I know his limitations.
2nd goal isn't sokratis fault. That's fully on Leno for conceding the corner. Just kick your ball in, I trust Martinez for that. Also Luiz is to blame to. I mean head that ball out, he ducked away, allowing a simple tap in on the far post. It's so so sad. Further more, our attackers are bad...I still don't understand why he's alienating Martinelli of all people. When we all know he's a decent goalscorer. Not putting him in league, then Europa u benched him, wen you know he's our highest goal scorer, then you're putting him at extra time 2nd half. Like who does that. Me I'm still critical of Pepe tho.. He needs to learn how to hit the ball hard. Most of his ball are tame shots.

Also about the 442 ish, we'll need a very strong dmf and a cm with high work rate, which neither xhaka or ceballos is, thus our midfield will easily be bypassed. Also, we'll need clinical forwards, Pepe isn't clinical enough neither is lacazette. It might be good on paper but to be sincere, that formation won't work with our personnel we're parading.

Yeah I saw you did...
Even me, I complained about how the guys were fatigued on Sunday. I don't understand how he believed that those guys who nearly fainted against Everton will be strong enough on Thurs. I was really disappointed with the lineup. Person I pity sef is Saka, I hopes he doesn't break down.
Please, Arteta should learn to rotate his squad o, if not, we'll just lose key players b4 season end.

I knew it was over when papa came in for mustafi.
This is the second time Arteta will do this stupid mistake, he delay substitution just like he did against Chelsea and we lost, lacazette was regaining form on bench and you started him leaving martinelli.
That match pain me because ebening as useless as he is will never lose that match, I hope and pray we hustle top 4

The good thing now is that top 5 is open now, and with Chelsea and Leicester underperforming, we might try and clinch that.
But then even wolves and Sheffield above us will be looking at that spot too!

lol, winning is quite different from making top 4. You might say Sheffield might fall, but you see that wolves? Those guys are going from strength to strength. Even if they may become Tottenham (that's not winning anything), they can also emulate them by breaking into that top 4

If they won't win anything, the players and coach will be hungry for new challenge the team will be poach by big clubs. Eriksen ran away, I'm sure Kane and son will be nursing the idea if big clubs come calling.
I'm bringing out these points because you think wolves are becoming stronger moreover, they have more fixtures with europa

No I think you're misunderstanding me. I'm not even thinking if wolves will be like Manchester city or Tottenham in 2-3yrs time. No!
I'm just strictly about talking about this season with respect to our champions league ambition.
Those guys with the way they're playing now and their result of last season will tell you that their likelihood to not make top4 or 5 is slim. Those guys have been together, finished high last season together. No greater motivation than for them to taste champions league, especially now that 5th is potentially opened up. Their aim will be to get the champions league slot, which will affect is too, cos technically, they're above us in standing. They've got the experience and desire and better, compared to their last season.

I have been warning about running these guys to the ground for about a month now. Sometimes it’s not about playing your best players because your best players may not be the fittest at that time.

These guys are lazy and when you try to implement a different routine that is more intense than what they are used to, it would back fire like you said especially during the season. If these changes were implemented during the summer break, it would be better.

I think he should find a balance in his trainings and player selections so that we are not playing only one half of every game. If you notice, we are only showing up in one half of all our games because the players are too fatigued to play the entire 90 mins. Mustafi before yesterday had played 3 consecutive games, same for Xhaka, Ceballos, Saka, Auba, Luiz and Leno in a short span. Isn’t that the core of your first 11? Some of these guys could have come in during the 2nd half to see off the game and that includes Pepe.

During the off season, we need to ship out a ton of players including Ozil so that Arteta can have his own team to build his style with. When I watched the Newcastle game after they returned from winter break, I knew they was trouble because they looked very slow and lethargic and it has remained the same in every game since then.

The whole unbeaten record of LFC was biased. Why did they count last season for them whereas arsenal went unbeaten for a full season and some the next season.

If Liverpool goes unbeaten they will be regarded at the top before arsenal they can't be regarded together cuz Liverpool had much wins, points and an outstanding records if they keep going this way
