At least Arsenal can now concentrate on their annual rendition of narrowly missing out on the title 

They have already bottled it -- just don't realize it yet. 🙂

And that's the biggest concern, if arsenal can't win the league what fucking chance do we have 🤣

I'm going for a prediction of a 5-0 loss to arsenal or a 4-2 loss.

Guess who predicted a 5 - 0 loss. I did

We would've lost 4-2 if we had gusto and palmer.

The backline were always giving the ball away.
When Arsenal deserved 1 attack we were giving them 3.

Upfront utter chaos.
Talking about moving the ball against organized defense:
Chelsea players: Scratch head not knowing what to do, stop-go. Sometimes a semblence of a move was completed.
Arsenal players: Accurate passing and positioning, had our 5-6 men run like headless chicken to cover.
Abysmal.
Poch has really got to go and of course we 've seen this thing many times this year.

A sobering thought but winning the league is really not the problem in front of us atm. I said before that we will not win the league (or CL) under this administration for obvious reasons. But what Arsenal shows is that with a bit of competence the right strategy fortunes can turn for a club just in a matter of a few years. But the structure of our club is sadly rotten from the top downwards

The level of disorganization has been gobsmacking to see. Truly shocking. And as you said we have seen many times this season. 
 

The owners, because they are not fans who watch the games, are allowing the fans suffer through all this.

Left coming here well watching the game and all I can say is FUCK ME WE ARE SHIT! 

[MoroccanBlue 5,382]

We going to hear from the owners directly about this shit fuck of a season or are they going to talk to Forbes again instead of addressing the fans?

[cosmicway 1,333]

That Jackson is a pain in the *ss.
Where is Giroud ?
Where is even Abraham ? Liked this man - high centre of gravity was his problem but otherwise more talented and effective compared to all this crap (Stirling - Jackson),

But arsenal fans were also saying the exact same things a few years ago as well, before arteta all we heard was arsenal fans wanting the owners out.

Their tv station was the national joke because of the tear jerking.
Still, they managed to organize themselves.
We did the exact opposite.
Abramovitch was not well in his last years imo (perhaps anticipating the troubles).
The yanks are forget life.
We have fallen victim to every crooked player manager - Nigerian scammer on earth and splashed hundreds of millions.

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,920]

I like Belle but she needs to chill out. Must be toxic on top of our toxicity.

[Thor 2,712]

I know its bad when people are saying they miss Havertz and that he was actually good for us. lol...

No he wasn't - he did less than Sterling, Cole and Jackson for us in his last season.

 

The difference is playing on a settled team, and one that is in shambles now with no consistency in play.

Arteta did not improve Arsenal team. That team that he got back then was uncoachable just like ours IMO. What he did was slowly let go of the players which did not fit his style and got new ones who did. He even tried to get rid of Partey this season, but Partey did not want to go apparently.

All their slow mids, pedestrians on the ball, were replaced by mobile and far more skillful mids including Rice, who has really blossomed into an allrounder.

I really don't see any other route for us. We need someone with a good idea and able to execute it.

How about glass is half full look?

They can do this and see progress compared to last season. 

EFL Cup: 

3rd round --> final

FA Cup:

3rd round --> semi final 

Premier League:

44 points --> 47 points with 6 games in hand. 

38 goals vs 61 scored already. 

There's gonna be also improvement on table 3,4,5 positions. 

Poch can show this stats and say I'm doing great and promise another improvement next season. Maybe Cup title and top5?

Plus there is a injuries excuse which is pretty valid. 

Our expected back 4: Chilwell, Colwill, Fofana, James. Noone was available for majority of season. Never played together. Missing part in MF Lavia also out full season. And same with Nkunku in attack.

Nonsense.

 

The first half our players played better than Arsenal and showed their quality.

 

We were let down by the first two goals that showed Poch is not organizing the team AT ALL. It was heads down from us and confidence up with Arsenal from there. It has mostly been our defense letting us down with a lack of organization and pressing as well as second half malaises. ALL DOWN TO POCH!!

Nonsense. There is no excuse for these players to play like shit... none.
Replace the manager and all is solved. Wish football was that easy.

We should prob start recruiting in the lower leagues and spend more on the manager given that that's all that matters.

No point getting to the Final/Semi Final of domestic cups if you're going to put rubbish performances like that and not win the trophy. 

Liverpool were there for the taking and there was enough there to trouble City as well. 

Progress isn't measured by scoring more goals or getting to cup finals, it's about whether the team has progressed and developed over the course of the season and as of right now, there's only 2 first team players that have actually developed under Poch, Palmer & Gusto.    Caicedo was better at Brighton, Enzo didn't look this bad at Benfica, Gallagher will still run around like a mad man regardless of the manager and Jackson is just bang average, his Spanish club must be delighted that they got 30+ million for a raw player like him.
