    Today for the first time I thought Frank had f***** it up with that selection. We are not in this game in all honesty. Wednesday will be interesting.

    People need to understand that we simply are not very good compared to teams who been sensibly built.

    we change managers like socks so we end up with a ridiculous collection of players that do not suit the next scapegoat who becomes our manager.

    no doubt it'll soon be Frank's turn to being booted out as not being good enough and round and round we go.

    only Pochettino and Ange completed at least 2 full seasons since 2012.

    Frank needs to be given both the players he wants and the time to build if things are to change.

    It'll be at least 4 yrs since we last beat Arsenal by the next time we play them and I think its only one win against Chelsea in the same time....if fans lash out cos of this then the circus we have become will continue

    No problem with this formation in general but when you don’t have a striker who can actually win the odd header or hold it up, it makes it redundant.

    Don’t think anyone was expecting anything out of this though so just move on and await the unbearable summer after they win the league in March.

    To rub it in, they get every single bit of luck go their way and Saka just has to put his arm up and is given a foul.

    Any selection containing Richarlison and Odobert is always gonna be wrong but it seems like we haven’t even worked on the system in training. It’s as if 3421 was decided right before KO and no one has a clue what to do. Really poor, expected better from Frank.

    Of course but how he reacts in the second half will tell him and us a lot

    So what next stick or twist? I think we take off Danso, Bentancur and Richarlison and put On Sarr, Bergvall and Tel, would rather lose 4-0 going for it than going through the motions for another half. Have to score the next goal

    He needs time.

    True, I wanted Glasner, but we need to give him time and backing.

    Arsenal are where they are because they've backed Arteta through oceans of moaning and criticism.

    We've chopped and changed at the first sign of trouble and it has completely ruined us.

    He needs time.

    Simons coming on. Not sure that's the right sub at the right time, to be honest.

    Richarlison and Odobert staying on the pitch is a criminal offence.

    After that 'Pool vs Forest one was given they have no doubt altered things a bit.

    no idea why Richarlison was bought nor why every manager plays him regularly.

    2nd worst signing ever after Ndombele imho

    As I said, a performance this bad can lead to an eventual sacking for a manager.

    He changed it but conceding the third immediately has killed it
