Re: ***The Official Arsenal Gunners" Thread***
Let's continue, shall we?
What the hell was with the bench selection as well? I understand getting some youth in the line-up for a game against a weaker opponent, but why was no-one impactful on the bench? We're down, we get to bring Lacazette on against Forest, and our chance look a hell of a lot better than they do with Eddie Nketiah. I love Eddie, but we should be focused on winning this game, not giving him and Akpom game time. Look at Spurs, they played ****ing AFC WIMBELDON AND STARTED HARRY KANE WITH CHRISTIAN ERIKSEN AND DELE ALLI ON THE ****ING BENCH. Manchester City played Burnley and fielded what amounted to a full-strength side. Chelsea played Norwich and while not fielding their exact first selection at every position, didn't exactly go as youth-oriented as Arsenal. Manchester United played Derby fielding Pogba, Mata, Lingard, Mkhitaryan amongst others. Why are we the only top 6 team(no, I didn't forget Liverpool, but they fielded basically a full-strength side against Everton, as expected) that played with our youth AND reserves on display?
Our team selection was awful(so awful, the team's social media accounts got the formation wrong), our tactics were awful, our play was awful. Regardless of the fact that no one should have any expectations for this team due to many factors, this is still embarrassing that we get beat by a managerless Championship team
