massive error. Willy looks old. McCarthy makes that error, posters in here would explode with anger.

honestly, if I see us almost concede from a break from our own corner one more time...FFS ...what the hell are our coaches doing every week? Watch the tape. Identify when and why we serving up chances. Do your fucking jobs.

there was a 15 minute period in the second half where we were completely overrun. We didn't put a single pass together, never mind get out of our own half. It was desperate and brought back memories of the Old Trafford mauling. There were one or two players, Dialo was one, that just seemed to be watching the game go on around him. We didn't and/or couldn't get close to anyone. Arsenal were dominant, but were our players doing enough/working hard enough? Arsenal had numerous chances, but some players did throw themselves in front of things, so not everyone threw the towel in. But the intensity seemed to drop when Broja went off injured, and that felt like that was the final nail in the coffin. It was pretty horrible. I'd say it was less about players giving up, and more about them putting on a shit show. It was close to being a sackable performance. For me, only Tella showed anything of note going forward and he was a threat, but his shooting was always from long range.

Fonte dived in too, but developed into a top player. He had a few years in the lower leagues to learn his trade though Lynco's errors will be punished more often than Fonte's ever were. It's not as though we are blessed with talent at CB. Not sure who is right player to play alongside Silasu.

...watching every minute he's played in a Saints shirt. He ain't great it the air, he dives in leaving us massively exposed and he overplays in the wrong areas. He played well at Chelsea in the league cup, but I've not been impressed in any of the other games. The sample size is small and I could well have jumped the gun, but right now, that is the player I see.

that period after the league closedown, when stadiums were empty and our opponents had hit the beach early, seems light years ago. I am not sure how we carried that form over to the next season, but it doesn't look like, whatever it was that we had, will ever come back. The formation- tactic-player type/ability just doesn't seem to be in sync.

Lyanco is a liability IMO.

After three years, I honestly don't know what 4-2-2-2 is. It's a hipsters 4-4-2, right? I don't want to see us play 3 CBs. Our CBs are average and put them in a three they just don't know what they are doing.

out of interest, what would that set up look like?

we are like the shit Saints saints of the nineties that scraped survival. Everything is retro these days.

2.5 years left on his £xm contract.

go down and its a financial meltdown. £100+ wage bill will kill us. As was the case last time, relegation is just the start of the 1000 cuts.

Willy reminded me of the 1990 world cup version of Shilton.

thats my point, we'd been woeful, spineless and I've not seen enough effort from one or two and if that is noticed at board level the manager gets fired.

Top 10? Jesus. If don't fancy your chances against a tenth pace side you are fucked. like at Norwich?

I've bigged him massively. I think I might need to rethink. Utter shite today.

absolute horseshit from Dialo there. He has been fucking terrible today.

we already in trouble. Can't score with our strikers, without them?

Arsenal are a pretty decent team in reasonable form, but this display might be a sackable display.

tremendous. Now all our strikers are injured...

Dialo...fuck me...he may as well not be there. Passive, lazy nothingness.

what do you suggest he do?

woodwork preventing it from being a complete thrashing.

getting murdered, everywhere...

as I said. Dodgy.
