do people get so emotional when you lose? Wengers being slated, szezny is being slated (both with their own thread) Monreal is getting a kicking and Ozil is getting a slapping (both on the match thread) ... seems all a bit OTT imo... very plastic reactions by some
Re: Szczesny i don't point out his flaws (all of which were displayed today) only when we lose. I have done so in games where we have won, as issues that need to be addressed are "serious" despite if the opponents are good enough to take advantage of them or not. That is what analysis should be based on. What is an "issue" despite of external factors (how good the opponent was this time). All of my beefs with him were displayed in a single game within minutes of each other today: - not getting a good read when to come out of the box - brain-dead ******ed short passes to teammates surrounded by opponents (adding pressure to our defense) - Not communicating with defenders when going for the ball These are in his game constantly. Whether we lose or not. I am even sure some here didn't notice them. I guess i take notice of stuff that doesn't make the 2 minute highlight reel as well? I should of course know better that constructive criticism around these parts is equated with scapegoating.
I've seen the replay of the incident, in all fairness, Shezny could have done much better, Robben wasn't really in control of the ball, he didn't have a very good first touch control, so there was no reason for Shezny to go in like he did.
So a87 he should of assumed that robben (one of the best players in the world) would mis control it and so all he had to do was just stand there and, et robben miss... Obviously... He did all he could, it was come out and try to stop him or let them score.
I understand when the players gets too emotional after losing the game. But for emotional fans, I don't know. Maybe their bet was too huge!
I think it's the hope this year which is killing some! For once we're challenging and looking half-decent with a real chance of silver-ware and some can't handle the tension. I'm as guilty as most. Reckon I've said "that's our chance gone" at least 5 times now!
