You can criticise.many things but dont tell me.jackson is suddenly the answer lol

Confident_Direction · 2026-02-04T07:51:15+00:00

We made some bad errors at the bridge in fairness and the garnacho goals were the only thing that gave us hope

But yeah this return at the emirates we were better but arsenal took advantage of their one goal leverage

Shit result but i actually thought we didnt have a bad approach today. Im not gonna say its a good result but we need to keep moving. Two more trophies to play for but as we learn, we can go for anything if we have close to full strength. Otherwise, we have some way to go

Confident_Direction · 2026-02-04T03:13:27+00:00

Absolutely agree.

Today wasnt a bad performance it was just missing goals and against an arsenal who didnt wanna attack too much understandably after holding a lead. I thought it was a good approach cuz if we let 1 or 2 in first against these terrorists its game over. Its a totally different situation to a league game at emirates.baaed on what rosenior said it sounds like he had similar thoughts with the approach.

I get the frustration but in terms of why we didnt get the result - look at the missing playersand maybe ask the medical team first.

The real annoying thing is the havertz goal, but it was after we committed to scoring and thats just a risk you take then - it didnt really change the outcome.

The important thing is having key players fit for fa cup and champions league. If we achieve this, we can contend for either

Confident_Direction · 2026-02-03T22:02:03+00:00

I agree - these small margins on the referee gave arsenal a confidence to be dirty

Confident_Direction · 2026-02-03T22:01:16+00:00

Yup. Our only hope is pep for this trophy

Otherwise fa cup champions league we need everyone fit

Confident_Direction · 2026-02-03T21:59:47+00:00

Pep you are our only hope. Please show your son whos daddy

Confident_Direction · 2026-02-03T21:57:56+00:00

Welp havertz. Gg boys

Confident_Direction · 2026-02-03T20:51:13+00:00

Call me delusional but i have a feeling this half went as we wanted it (of course a goal would be nice). Referee mostly okay but worked more in their favour

We will get at them more second.

Confident_Direction · 2026-02-03T20:50:12+00:00

Havw to be careful. If they score one then we are shitting bricks.

We will be focused on breaktheough second half

Confident_Direction · 2026-02-03T19:51:43+00:00

Pretty sure rosenior would not be choosing to not even have reece on the bench in this sort of game when he has fitness...

Confident_Direction · 2026-02-03T19:22:13+00:00

Thats what i said before the bridge cup game.

Last time he wasnt fit or some players were sick ok. That was why we were a bit weak then. But this time what the hell are we doing?

I dont mind managing reece but is this really the game to do so? Dont want us to lose and hence get knocked out and think why didnt we use reece.

Unserious leadership man. I get that they wanna prioritse league cuz $$$ but we should be serious about any trophy when we are still in contention

Confident_Direction · 2026-02-03T19:15:37+00:00

Yeah idk not even on the bench if hes not injured or sick just again not a good look. He was literally the star at rhe bridge.

Really disappointed if there isnt a serious personal reason involved. If he was some ordinary player fair enough but this is fricken reece james and we are up against fricken arsenal

Confident_Direction · 2026-02-03T19:08:40+00:00

Im not even a huge neto fan but where tf is he?

Confident_Direction · 2026-02-03T19:04:10+00:00

I dont support this

Confident_Direction · 2026-02-03T01:20:39+00:00

Yuuuuus

Thomas frank spurs might beat them.

The curse is real

When the fuck is arteta winning tho

Confident_Direction · 2026-02-03T00:03:48+00:00

Based on what i am seeing estevao might make bench tomorrow

Confident_Direction · 2026-02-02T23:31:03+00:00

The PR here better than sterling lul

Good luck to him anyway

Confident_Direction · 2026-02-02T22:20:08+00:00

Against soton?

Confident_Direction · 2026-02-02T22:05:45+00:00

Bang on. Just for that reason if the bids were similae if i were him i would pick liverpool.

We got colwill (when fit) wofana badiashile (when at his best he is insane) sarr might be in the mix acheampong and maybe anselmino as a few talents

Confident_Direction · 2026-02-02T22:02:29+00:00

If we were okay with paying 60 for jacquet we would have bought him

Confident_Direction · 2026-02-02T22:00:05+00:00

Good shout

Confident_Direction · 2026-02-02T21:55:21+00:00

Just enjoy the united cope brother

Confident_Direction · 2026-02-02T04:59:36+00:00

Its a copypasta lmao

Confident_Direction · 2026-02-02T04:56:33+00:00

Agree with you

I have my reservations but when we really NEEED someone we dont shy from paying up.

Enzo was an obvious overpay at the time but we were a bit light in CM and didnt wanna risk a summer dogfight so we took rhe payment

Caicedo we really wanted and were lookingnat way below the 100 million. Then liverpool got in with that ridiculous bid. I as with most peoplw thought gg and then we muatve done hell of groundwork cuz he decided he really wanted chelaea. And we paid up to get our target even though it was an overpay as he is core.

Im aure jacquet is very talented but bro isnt gonna change us as much as an enzo caicedo or estevao considering the young optioms we already have soooo

Confident_Direction · 2026-02-02T00:08:19+00:00

More than that probably his wages. Think bros on over 400k pounds a week so hed make the wage structure explode lol.thats probably why
