Please don't judge Big A on that team and that performance at one of the most difficult venues in world football against the team that I think will win the league this season
He could have ducked this game but didn't! He went straight into hell knowing what was coming his way I witnessed 1st hand the personal abuse he took and it looked like water off a ducks back! Fair play to him imo
Judge him after the next 4 games when he has had the chance to put his stamp on this bunch of players
Given time I think we will enjoy his style of football and we will start to climb the table.

I don't understand what point there is in analysing the result. We lost to one of the best teams in the world away from home. We normally lose at the Emirates as do 90% of teams who go there. It doesn't say anything at all really.
Ange played Nuno's team and a LB to cover an injury (prob not the best option but he doesn't know the players well yet and only had 1 full session with the whole squad). SO we've learned pretty much nothing we didn't already know. Ange has probably learned a few things from watching, as I'm sure was his main goal if we couldn't get a result.
The other advantage of the selection was that he didn't give a load of players a first start in one of the 3 most difficult fixtures of the season (the other 2 being Man C away and Liverpool away). If he had it might distort how he/ we see them and knock their confidence if we got a bad result (which was almost certain. )
Onto the next match. We need to pick up some positive results, and it's going to take time before the players learn a new system if we are going to have one. That's just the way it is.
I'm definitely not going to have a meltdown. We just don't know how it's going to go with a new coach yet. We do know Nuno's team loses at Arsenal but anyone who didn't is delusional.

There not hard fixtures not to nuno anyway cyclist didn't we beat both Liverpool and man city away last season and now we have a better squad so I'm expecting something from them games.

I think your missing the point for me it's not losing it was the manner in which we lost toothless clueless and no desire such a strange performance.
15 Sep 2025 15:24:59
Trust you to argue when someone makes a post that genuinely makes sense. ??.
15 Sep 2025 15:48:04
Just stating facts cyclist.
15 Sep 2025 17:38:09
I'm not missing the point. That was the same team that has been mostly toothless since April Fool's day, when we beat Man U at home. They've now won only 3 of their last 13 Premier League games (14 if you count the FA cup defeat). It's relegation form and why we needed a change of coach.
15 Sep 2025 19:13:28
Exactly Cyclist.
It's been relegation performances since then.
Coupled with Nuno's rant.
Definitely time to change.

No balloons we didn't beat city away we lost three nil as we did to arsenal last season aswell
So we lose to aresenal 3 nil thus season under a coach that hasn't had week in charge and it's doom and gloom?
Well you are the master of doom and gloom.

Don't worry DTP seems to thinks I've got something to do with Skeggy even though I've never said where I'm from.
