Commentators just said that we look more like a 4-3-1-2 right now

Defense or lack thereof from our MF is inexcusable

Ozil can still play some great balls when he has time

Our defense is so ****ing bad sometimes

This is the **** that is gonna cost Emery his job. There is absolutely no reason to continue to insist that we play it out when we are constantly being pressed on goal kicks.

I would love to know what percent of the time the ball actually gets 40 yards from goal without being turned over

We are trying hard to lose this one. Not only are we playing horrible defense but we can't keep any possession either.

I'm at a loss. We have far more talent than most, but we have no ****ing clue what we're doing from a tactical standpoint

How many ****ty, dumbass turnovers are we going to have? Nelson can seem to touch the ball without turning it over.

I'm not sure we are that much more talented than most.

Emery has a clause in his contract that allows us to cancel his contract at end of season without any compensation. I would be absolutely shocked if that clause isn't exercised.

Yeah even if he gets top 4 I see no way in which he is given the extra year extension, which then brings in the question of who we possibly hire

Maxi Allegri is currently unemployed

No way this is a top four team as it is currently managed. Hate to say it so soon, but I am off the Emery wagon. While this team is not a title winner as it is currently staffed, it shouldn't be hammered like it was by the Scousers, nor should it give up a two goal lead to the cellar-dwellers of the league. This same crap is what saw Wenger out the door, and Emery doesn't have the history at Arsenal to allow the long leash offered his predecessor.

I will gladly eat crow if this team achieves this year, but it already looks like an uncommunicative tone and a team of individuals on the pitch is set for the season.

Watching you guys play out the back is giving me USMNT PTSD. Good lord.

Lee Dixon mentioned something about how this makes no sense around the 36th minute. I just don't get it.

Patrick Vieira. All the cool kids are doing it.

Would be better off with Mustafi over DL?

Chambers is the RB according to Arsenal.

This may not go well. Definitely our toughest game of the group stage

Frankfurt got rid of their 3 best forwards (Jokic, Haller & Rebic) and replaced them with Andre Silva and Bas Dost

True, but its still our toughest game. Coupled with basically zero confidence in the team besides Auba and what should be a clown car CB pairing of Mustafi/Luiz, I'm low on faith.

Unrelated to the game at hand but reading on another Arsenal forum and one of the moderators is saying that he is hearing continuous rumors that the players are unhappy and feel they have no idea what Emery expects from them. If remotely true and we continue to under perform, I don;t see him making it more than a couple more months. At this point, I wouldn't be apposed to giving Ljungberg the interim title assuming Stan/Josh aren't feeling Allegri.

It certainly appears like we don't know what we are doing on the pitch. Even when we have the ball, we look confused

That said, Xhaka looks much more suited to the slower pace of the German teams

Xhaka needs to be playing in either Germany or Italy

My (by) Jan wishlist...

Fire Emery
Hire Allegri (willing to consider other options as well)
Sell Xhaka & Mustafi
Consider Selling Ozil (again) depending on new manager
Buy a starting caliber CB under 28
Buy a #6 / DLP or a CM that can double pivot with Torreira
Buy an experienced LW with pace

The bright spot in this match is Saka, Willock and ESR look good. We still have no idea what the **** we're doing tactically, but the youth look solid.

They've shown flashes. Couple better decisions or properly weighted passes and we could be up 1-2 more goals.
