    Ugh not liking Ljungebergs team selections. He doesnt seem like a manger with his own ideas.
    This is just an Emery side even the same players omitted. The same approach.

    It is so dire at the moment. Confidence has drained from this team and we look so lost. We really need somebody to come in and steady the ship, because at the moment we are in free fall.

    When he took over he said that he wasn't going to do anything radically different.

    Which is exactly what we do need to do !

    I dont get why we havnt tried just being ultra offensive.

    We cant defend - Even when we play 5 at the back with two defensive mids - we still ship goals.

    Just ****ing play Auba and Laca Up Top with Two Wingers and Ozil. Thats what I would do.

    Big big half of football for these players now. Somebody needs to step up and dig us out of this hole

    Only Arsenal hierarchy can fire a manager and not have a plan in place.. We are in real teouble here fellas and as much I want Ljunberg to succeed, this job is too big for him!

    Pepe is the only one who really tries to do anything and yet can't get a game. So bizarre.

    We've been soo bad at defending for soo long now maybe Arsenals best approach is to hire someone defensive like Simeone.
    Sort out all the coaching staff, and ingrain new methods.

    I’ve been saying this for a while - we can’t defend for ****! But we have an amazing set of attacking players. Just try to outscore the opposition until we have a Manager and personnel capable of playing a tighter game.

    Laca, Auba, Ozil, Pepe, Martinelli - absolutely awesome set of attacking players.

    Ceballos in midfield - best when playing offensive football. Hue fuzz (lol auto correct) even plays great when driving through midfield.

    Bellerin, Tierney, Luiz - offensive defenders.

    Play attacking football ffs. Wenger would be walking half of these games with an attacking philosophy! Don’t get me wrong we’d get tanked in other games and not be title challengers, but we wouldn’t be the absolute **** we are now.

    Can someone at the club grow a pair please!

    I think the problem was he got thrown into the thick of it too quickly and the fans and media started to get frustrated that it didn’t click for him immediately. Should have worked him into the team.

    At the moment though he is one of the few who show proper hunger.

    We need a new manager boost desperately! Get someone in who the players want to play for. It feels like they know this is only temporary and don’t have faith it’ll turn around. It’s time for a big name Manager.

    Cant even blame the defenders now... I think there is a malaise running through the team at moment.. We need to sort this mess out, otherwise we will be fighting relegation!

    Ancelotti is employed though! Why not Allegri?

    The club are rudderless and all confidence has drained from the players. There were moments in that game where it looked like we might push on and win it, but we crumbed and it was all too predictable.

    We are sinking like a stone at the moment and the board need to pull their ****ing finger out and get this appointment right. I agree with afcftw on this. Get Ancelotti in. He's a safe pair of hands and he knows how to organise players.

    We can't let this rot continue, it's getting worse with each game and it's getting to the point where it's going to be near on impossible for anybody to dig us out.
