Haven't been less bothered in years, being two down at halftime..Anyway, Wenger's not getting more than a draw in his final home game..UTC!

Maybe get Wells on with Vokes soon, nothing to lose and would be good to see Wells for more than a few minutes....come on You Clarets! If it ends up being an off day.....I guess they deserve one

I am. I'm always bothered.

May as well get Marney on to make the second half worth watching.

Outplayed. Lack of effort by a few. Cant believe Sean will tolerate that display. Might be throwing a few tea cups in honor of Sir Alex !! Need to step it up otherwise it could easily be 5.

I think the timing of the Greek kid has been almost perfect. Break down the attacking threat by any means - nasty player.

Can't see this going our way. They are very slick going forward with some nice passing play to open us up, even Jack Wheelchair is looking very good. I think our only chance is from set plays and our chanice of winning them has been reduced by the loss of Ashley (even though the ref doesn't look like he wants to give us much anyway).

I would stick Wells on in a bit, maybe take Westwood off and drop Hendrick back. A fresh pair of legs and enthusiasm might bring a bit of life back to our play.

They are light years ahead of us and it’s showing today.

i agree. talent wise the top 6 are light years ahead. BUT it shows how great SD has managed this squad. it took until the 36th game for arsenal to seal 6th place.

I can’t even imagine what SD is screaming at Tarks and Westwood for peeing around in their own area instead of getting rid.
Hopefully Wells gets 45mins for us and we have a good look at him.
COYC.

Cant do that without Wood. He haa been crucial to us turning secent enough fighting performances into wins. Check our record without him in the side.

Missing the Mee-Tarks partnership as well

Plus Lennon and Ward have been a bit below over tje last few games.

I think my header is more accurate. Since the 10 minute mark of the Leicester game it is as though we turned the switch to 'job done'!

The ones that aren't good enough or aren't going to get a game for 1 reason or another.

In my opinion
Wells Walters Vokes are no where near good/fit enough

GKN will leave

Long 4th choice CB
Hendrick 4th choice MC

Lennon may need a pre-season

Can't keep playing players out of position.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Sun May 06, 2018 5:39 pm

Hendrick has been our best player today

I can not really argue with that Vokes has been my favourite player.

Brady has been a big miss for me

So far off the pace, not even looking to make it a physical encounter.
Can't expect to compete carrying a few of players who shouldnt be near any premier league teams starting line up.

Great season, regroup over the summer with a chsncd to ditch the dead wood.

Dead wood includes chris wood Sam oaks , westwood, cork , and Dyche (He barks orders )

I was hoping we'd play with a bit of freedom today knowing that our fate has been decided.

I like Vokes. Given a full season in a 442 he will get double figures, however our style doesn't suit him, and he looks like he's running through treacle.

I'd be shocked if he got regular games in this league ever again.

That’s a major fault with Pope , he doesn’t dive , rather go with his legs

I predict we will be 7th after this game

And at the start of this season I'd have taken that in a heartbeat

Yes, we're terrible today. But if you'd told me in August that we'd be disappointed to lose at the Emirates in a battle for 6th place in the penultimate game of the season I'd have order a few bags of whatever you'd been smoking. I'll be honest, after the first result I thought it would be all downhill from there. Unbelievable season and I for one don't begrudge the lads starting their holidays a week early.

Bring on Europe!

UTC!!!

Your right he not mobile enough for me either looks sluggish but i guess he a type who needs games and your right if we have fit strikers he struggling for game time.

I hope the next Arsenal manager is an absolute flop.

Some of the football that Arsenal play is outstanding, and that’s all down to Arsene and his staff.

Stop whinging, switch off your telly if it upsets you that much and look forward to a prosperous transfer window and an incredible European tour!
