Are we ruining Declan Rice at No 8? His form has dipped and he’s neither fully effective offensively or defensively. With Partey’s purple patch over is it time to establish Rice at 6 and build from there? #arsecastextra

I doubt that one loan striker could have saved us yesterday ☹️ We needed two after Jesus’ injury, but then Havertz and Martinelli got injured 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 and it was kind of game over

What a pathetic end to the season. Oh wait, there's still games to suffer through.

goonerleroy.bsky.social•1 day ago

Controversial opinion. Even with all the fire power / injuries , we don’t win that game

jmukolwe.bsky.social•1 day ago

I don't agree.

lloydark.bsky.social•1 day ago

So he should be. That was piss poor for a team wanting to win the league. It was pathetic

leytonw.bsky.social•1 day ago

The board waved the white flag and that has fed down to the players. They look lost, tired and the belief has drained from them. One or two aside I don't blame them. But to think we could continue a title and CL charge with no forwards is not only fantastical but bloody arrogant

IT'S. ALL. YOUR. FAULT!

truenorthstar.bsky.social•1 day ago

OWN. IT!

truenorthstar.bsky.social•1 day ago

We waited with bated breaths for you to bring in at least a striker in January but you did nothing but engage in wishful thinking - maybe Liverpool will drop points. Then the unthinkable happened because we'd overused Havertz and Liverpool's still winning. Now the season's gone down the drain.

jmukolwe.bsky.social•1 day ago

The board wouldn't do it. It's not Arteta's fault.

moomanken.bsky.social•1 day ago

Arteta seemed happy to stick with Jesus last summer when he described him as looking really strong. With his injury record we should’ve replaced him then when we had the chance.

jmukolwe.bsky.social•1 day ago

Last summer they tried to get Sesko before the Euros ended but he wanted to stay at Leipzig.

truenorthstar.bsky.social•15 hours ago

We don't have depth in the forward positions, I could almost say we never have in recent times. It's now a major problem and it will cost us again this season. And we might end up loosing good players too. This club is not ambitious enough

jmukolwe.bsky.social•15 hours ago

The board decided to throw away the season with that decision of not buying in January.
I'm not worried about players leaving. They'll leave anyway regardless at some point.

Not strengthening when you know you are lacking is a terrible decision.

truenorthstar.bsky.social•14 hours ago

Again, I believe the club has improved under Arteta in so many ways and I think he should continue as manager, but it is time to stop being 'almost-men' and start winning trophies. The club, the players and fans deserve the bragging rights. We need the EPL and UCL titles. It's been long overdue.

truenorthstar.bsky.social•14 hours ago

Yeah, and when you express your frustrations as a fan, people get on your mentions and criticize. Arteta has the most to loose reputation-wise, but the club looses overall. It's been almost 6 years and we only have 1 FA Cup and 2 Community Shield trophies to show for that /1

baldprick.bsky.social•1 day ago

Need a manager that can beat a low block. This fraud certainly cant.

jmukolwe.bsky.social•1 day ago

He's not going anywhere.

trading-gen.bsky.social•1 day ago

So he's angry that West Ham took advantage of his tactics. They played 5-3-2,& blocked our wings. It's the inability to modify tactics and our inability to attack through the middle, which is a massive weakness. It was a game that left me laughing watching Raya running faster than a midfielder.

rayalight.bsky.social•1 day ago

Completely agree that our complete and utter absence through the middle is a) an enormous weakness and b) hardly ever flagged (so thanks for doing so).

sushimushi.bsky.social•1 day ago

I agree

tim-ashm.bsky.social•1 day ago

What happened to playing the opponent in front of us? Same system every week no matter if it works or not

rayalight.bsky.social•1 day ago

Spot on. No doubt he will still be vilified for “making excuses.”

vshur.bsky.social•1 day ago

Can only cope for so long with all the injuries

ben.pours.wine•1 day ago

Correct

Probably need a striker...

tomgeer.bsky.social•1 day ago

Even Asensio would have been useful but there was no forward in the universe available for loan apparently

vermast8.bsky.social•1 day ago

2 goals for villa both assists from rashford

jlau415.bsky.social•1 day ago

Whole team and organization should be angry. There’s an assumption that they’re building towards something glorious while eating valuable years out of players careers.
