Match Day Thread West Ham United vs Arsenal - Matchday Thread

Not sure what to attribute the last 2 games to…

key players like Saliba/Zinchenko missing?

Morale of now no longer winning games from 2-0 up?

or just an unlucky run of games?

Unlike last week, we really threw this game away and the penalty miss makes it worse.

 

Ironically if we lost against liverpool last week but won today, we would have had more points.

 

We have the second youngest squad in the league, who have never been in this position, and it showed. Their inexperience is coming to the fore right at the business ends the season.

The pressure has gotten to them. I'm sure they'll learn from it, but I think we've handed the impetus to City now. They'll probably stroll the league from this point.

But also, our defending since the turn of the year has been abysmal. We leak far too many goals and you can't keep having high scoring games if you want to win titles. We've stopped getting clean sheets.

At the end of the day, Guardiola has created a squad that knows how to win titles. We don't know how to do that yet.

Like I said. Just focus on accruing as many points as we can and focus on trying to improve for next season.

 

Going to be hard to concentrate on his football when he has a rape charge hanging over him.

 

2 weeks in a row we let a 2-0 lead slip.
Sadly when the going gets tough we bottle it.
It happened last season when we had a great chance of top four and we lost 3 in succession to Palace, Brighton and Southampton.
We're looking very vulnerable just at the wrong time and on this showing City will turn us over quite easily.
