Steve, as a relative neutral, you come across as a total entitled bellend here. 

 

Read what I've said.  I am not asking for anything other than a club that is going in the right direction.  I'm not demanding we win the league or champions league, I just want the club to fucking compete.

 

Have you any idea what it feels like to watch your team rarely give 100%?  Most of the players look like they can't be arsed.  If I go to the effort of going up to Sunderland, down to Southampton or to Europe for a UCL game, I expect the players to damn well give 100%.  I can take them giving 100% and losing, it happens.  But for many of the team to not give their all is inexcusable.  That's what really irks the true fans who invest a lot of time and money into following their team.  It's why so many of us are angry and pissed off.

 

Regarding entitlement, I could feel entitled to something for my £1500 season ticket (many thousands of angry fans do).  For that money I could get a season ticket at Bayern Munich, Bor Dortmund & Juventus & still have some cash left over.  If the club want to charge fans 5 or 6 times the season ticket costs of Bayern Munich, give them some of the quality Bayern have on the pitch, as well as the results they get.  Anything else is just taking the piss quite frankly, but Gazidis is all about making as much profit as possible.  He runs it as a business, not a football club.

Truthfully, what makes you think that? 

 

If he really cared, he wouldn't be performing as badly as he has been doing.  If he cared he'd be desperately trying to find new systems that suite the players instead of sending them out with exactly the same plan as the previous match.  There is never really any sort of gameplay.  The team rarely adapt to the opposition.  The team will be set-up the same way against the likes of Chelsea as it was against Sutton & Lincoln.  There's no genius about this, it's just piss poor management.  In recent months and especially since we got knocked out of Europe the players look terrified everytime they are on the ball.  Look how some of the players panic and knock the ball sideways as they have no confidence to go forward as they are worried about losing the ball and the crowd getting on their back.  It's even more noticeable at home games.

 

The Bayern tie is a classic example of how Wenger gets things so wrong.  We got battered in the first leg as everyone knows.  The old Wenger would have watched that game many times on video and devised a system to try and stop their biggest threats in the second leg.  Instead we play exactly the same system and got thumped 5-0 or whatever it was (could have been 9 or 10).  Even when the game was well beyond the team you could sense Bayern would get a load more goals and the flood gates opened in the second leg.  What did Wenger do?  Nothing.  Just told the team to carry on playing a system that wasn't working.  He doesn't give a shit.

Literally every football league club does this.

No, other clubs look to make money and invest it into the football club.  We have 100's of millions stockpiled doing absolutely nothing as you well know and as our chief exec regularly likes to boast about and remind everyone.  Then we squabble over pennies when trying to negotiate a transfer deal whereas other clubs just go and get their business done as efficiently & covertly as possible.  It's fucking embarrassing.

Nice to win an away game but we were still garbage, we managed to get 2 goals having only created 1.1xG (expected goals) - Boro, who are the worst attacking team in the 4 leagues, managed 1.6xG against us.

 

This is exactly what happened at the start of the season too - we were scoring more goals than our chances created should have given, and conceding less than we should with the chances we were giving up. Statty types were saying at the time no way that could continue.

Curious why the Weng would to this. Just to experiment against a weak team? To refresh his players? Mind games vs City in the FA Cup?

 

My theory is that Wenger wants to finish 6th, miss out on Europe and have one last go at the title. He's made the comment several times in the last few seasons that Leicester and Chelsea have done well because they didn't have any European commitments.

No way he's aiming for 6th. 

 

I think he did it to try and refresh. He said something about needing a new formation to create a new belief. Seems logical (ish).

It was awful but he gave it away, what, 80 yards from our goal? Not sure you can blame him for what happened afterwards. Terrible goalkeeping too.

 

Nacho and Cech didn't cover themselves in glory either but Ramseys pass was so atrocious he has to eat the blame.
