Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [7th - 9th November 2014]

Arsenal are dire, we've won 4 of 10 games and the teams Arsenal have beaten, Palace, Villa, Sunderland and Burnley, it's pretty god damned pathetic, as have been the performances and we needed a huge amount of luck after dismal performances to get the points we got against Palace, Everton, Leicester and Hull.

Still what I expect from Arsenal though :p Doing better than 12/13 and 11/12 position wise, you'll pick up eventually and get fourth as usual
 
Very suprised LvG didnt go for Jaanmat in the summer. Nothing spectacular but does the basics well. Seems to be a real steady 7 out of 10 week in week out

He probably didn't think he'd be able to hang on to him when a big club came knocking in a year or so's time ;) !
 
This may be insanely black and white but when I look at managers, I think "is his team playing at a level that is more than the sum of its parts?". If yes, keep him. If no, sack him. If it is hard to decide then stick with him for a bit.

MoPo's team is underperforming to such a massive degree, I don't see how it is tenable to keep him. There is no sign of a system, an improved mentality, problems being solved... It is all just getting worse.

His defence is that he didn't get the £25m players who he wanted. That doesn't excuse him for completely ballsing up with the players he does have.
 
He's a good player, to be fair the summer recruitment as a whole looks decent. Pardew semms to be changing his ways but I'm still withholding changing my mind until he keeps this up. Playing people in form and giving it a go is pretty foreign territory!
 
Shows how **** the league is this year that with our horrific start we are 7th level with ManU and with the right results next weekend could go 4th :o
