He's never been as bad as the Gooners wanted to believe he was....
It will no doubt be a hot topic of discussion at great length on MOTD tonight .
The blatant penalty for De Bruyne’s handball was a much more obvious decision that wasn’t given either by the match ref or VAR.

Would have been pleased to see him come to Spurs in January.
Can't stand the preening cunt, but we'd have done well to bag a stop-gap of his standard.
Careful
Prefer Nando
We have lost to dog shit teams, we are not special. As a team we are totally average when you remove our world class forward players. We have seen this for more than a year. We find it hard to beat anyone in this league.
This is the reality. We have some decent players, some grafters but not the type of squad that gives you any right to expect a result in a massive away game with two world class goal scorers injured. The team is in a very messy early stage of rebuilding after the Dembele + Eriksen era has ended.
But we were equally passive and inept in the home game, which Kane and Son both started?
Usual and expected torrent of abuse leaving the stadium today. Performance didn’t look so terrible from where I was sitting.
I think the performance in the home game was even worse than today.
I'm not saying he would specifically play him, I'm saying there are PLAYERS who he can select from and utilize in the absence of Son and Kane.
Please STOP making this about Poch vs Jose!!!! I also listed other mangers how all play a progressive system of football who all find solutions to their best players being out injured!!! That's the fucking point being made. I would have welcomed any number of about 7 or 8 mangers other than Jose, I've listed them all previously. Poch has gone he's not out manager anymore!
I bring up his name only suffice to include him in a list of mangers that play a brand of football that i think we should play to be competitive again, to be more than the sum of our parts (like Ajax were able to be last season, like Leicester, Wolves and Sheffield, Leipzig are this. Klopp lost his players in his last season at Dortmund, that doesn't make him a bad coach does it??? And seeing as a CL slot is worth £100m I guess they wish they would have kept him and allowed him a potentially expensive rebuild, rather than letting him go and play in the Europa.
The City result was a terrible performance, we won but were completely outplayed. Sorry to get stroppy with you Baz but just watch how we play, ignore the result. If we are playing well but lose, as frustrating as that can be, I can and do take comfort in that. It shows signs of coaching. We have been comprehensively outplayed by Chelsea TWICE, United, Liverpool (although I thought we weren't as bad as the press made us out to be apart from first 10min), outplayed by Leipzig, outplayed by Wolves, Outplayed by Southampton TWICE, outplayed in large parts of the game by Villa and Norwich (TWICE) and Watford, scraped past Brighton and Bournemouth and despite dominating the game were it not for their keeper we probably would have lost or drawn against West Ham.
To me, we actually look like we are getting worse, not better. This is a major fucking concern!
Would be better if you fucked off.
We averaged a point a game for nearly a year building up to Mourinho. Do you honestly think that he would click his fingers and everything would be great again? We had no confidence, no belief, no foundations we were able to develop from it's all about an incremental process.
Points first, then confidence, then rhythm, then you build on it isn't how I saw the process going. Up until the news of Sonny's injury we were only bettered by Liverpool for points won in the Prem since Jose took over. Like it or not that's impressive for where we were as a club when he took over.
It's a massive shame that we won't get to see how the teams style progressed with on song Lo Celso, Ndombele, Dele, Son, Bergwijn and Kane. Won't be seeing those 6 starting a game together for the first time until August at the earliest it seems.
So who would you play up front now?
I’m not saying it’s between Poch and Jose at all but other posters are saying Poch performed miracles
Really?
Injuries after The Euros permitting
Mate. It doesn't matter who we play up top. He will still set us up in a low or mid-block!!!
He's brainwashing everyone in thinking all is lost because we have THREE players injured! THREE!!!!
His style of football requires a striker to hold the ball up and lob long balls to, he's not adapting because he can't. Before we lost Son he defended his style of football by saying he couldn't play any differently because he lost Ban Davies!!
We can both agree they are shit , however they seem to turn into peak Barca when playing the rest of the big 6, Liverpool aside I’m pretty sure there record is the best against points won against other top 6 teams
Even our goal was fucking embarrassing...
