Amazing how many youth players have come out of nowhere this season. Fair play.

Even more baffling how Arsenal have managed to completely transform their effort and form almost one day to the next. Bloody typical.

Ah, just seen that Chilwell and Maddison were dropped from the Leicester squad for this game. Arsenal are jam flavored. Guess those two are leaving then?

Not too baffling - they mutinied against Emery. Proper downed tools. That's how you know it was the players efforts at fault.

They were awful only a few weeks ago under Arterta.

Same difference though - they're running the show. They made the same mistake we did with AVB under Emery, which is to just chuck a load of new faces in and ignore the dynamic. Lots of bad eggs there, and he made them all captains (also like Poch did initially!)

Arsenal social media all week "Spurs suck, we will smash them. Biggest derby win in decades coming." Arsenal social media today "We are rebuilding. Still need 3 CB's, a midfielder and a winger"

You'd think that after 15 years of good football but continuously getting exposed at the back they'd realise that the game isn't about how much possession you have but what you do with it and if you can be intelligent enough to take advantage of situations.

Yet they are still banging the "we played them off the park" and "they deserved nothing" line.

It's why I think they'll always struggle. The fans are so married to a style of play and it's actually their downfall.

The ones who only knew the Wenger era onwards maybe, but the two gooners who I most speak to (one friend, one colleague both 40+) are always bemoaning their shit defence.

Well the AFTV lot of Robbie, Claude and Lee all couldn't believe they lost and said they'd battered us, they're all over 40. Although I guess it's not the most intelligent pool of people.

You haven't been in the Mourinho thread?
