Not gonna lie, that did make me chuckle
One good thing that might come of this disappointing result.
The board may be compelled to quicken their pace in the search for a new manager
I think Ljungberg team selection was shocking and his decision to bring on Saka and bring Xhaka/Mustafi back into the foray were abominable decisions.
But heâs interim boss so it doesnât matter I guess
Yeah, I would like to say that anything Iâve said today on Ljungbergâs coaching ability, positive or negative, was 99.9816% tongue in cheek.
Bizarre team selection and the substitutions were infuriating quite frankly, but itâs his first match so Iâm okay with it.
He isnât going to come in and all of a sudden we turn into Liverpool. Letâs be real a lot of our squad isnât good enough, and it wasnât just down to Emeryâs bad management with a lot of them. I think defensively and midfield wise weâre going to be the same for the whole season. I donât think Ozil is going to do much for us. Auba and Laca like last season if they donât down tools again will carry us.
If he can get this lot playing in the Europa League and get us going in a FA Cup run. Pick up the PL form then it might end up not been a complete downfall. But Freddie wonât change much sadly. I hope the fanâs donât turn on him, but I wouldnât be so sure.
Lol, you really think our cheap fucks donât hope that Freddie does a passable job so that they wonât have to fetch someone mid-season? In fact, they may even give him the job for a passable job.
They did consider extending Emeryâs contract after all.
Irregardless of whether they should get a quick replacement or not I thought that in 2 days work they looked very much better in possession moving the ball with much more purpose and speed. Defensively still very poor but less to do as our possession was better.
Overall a surprisingly good start for Freddie in his interim role in my opinion.
What was good about it? We basically just tried to play football which is what youâd expect any coach to do.
The team selection, in game decisions and subs were horrible.
Just shows how shit weâve been under Emery tbh, we were decent in spells thatâs about it.
Ljungberg will have some time at least to show his impact
I want to rip my eyes out of their sockets when I see the manager of this team select Granit Shitter Scrub Xhaka. The interview process for the next manager should simply be submitting their best starting xi, and if Xhaka is omitted they should get the job.
Missed the game but thereâs no way he should be getting criticized for bringing on Saka instead of Pepe
Arguable Iâd say, but certainly Martinelli was a better choice?
Saka brings pace and width and pressing, it makes sense to bring on a winger of his type when youâre chasing a goal, especially when you have a poacher like Auba at striker
âof his typeâ yeah, but he really hasnât been doing much recently and is very young still - personally Iâd put Martinelli in there over him right now⌠Martinelli had 4 minutes and probably helped create the best chance we had towards the end.
Massive improvement in itself
What does this mean?
LOL was going to say something b/c that got me triggered as well⌠depends on your viewpoint, but certainly AT BEST the IR prefix is redundant. Some would argue (including me) there is no such word as âirregardless,â but hey ho.
