Even Lacazettte is starting to look like a championship player.

[Vesper 27,345]

[NikkiCFC 7,595]

And this WBA went undefeated at Anfield and Etihad... 

[Special Juan 27,104]

There is nothing flash what so ever about this Arsenal side, nothing what so ever....one thing though....confidence.

Also the same West Brom side that we allowed to draw 3-3 with us and lost only 1-0 at Old Trafford because of a penalty (IIRC) but are getting bitch slapped by Arsenal...

Confidence makes such a huge difference tho. Fitness too.

We were absolutely gassed when we played Arsenal on boxing day and paid the price. Arsenal with a fully rested squad completely overran us. It's incredible how we suck against poor teams.

they have some really high quality young players

and a lot of utter dregs

a huge thing is that our time bombs we gave to them are now basically benched

Willian and Luiz

who were huge reasons they were so shit before

Arsenal had a fully rested squad? From what?

We had a free week leading up to that game and we played shit.

Exzctly and like Neville think said..it was like our players saw the team sheet. Thought meh this be easy..and then were taken completely by surprise. You could tell within 10 mins how it was going to go. We looked clueless and remained it through it.

It is not even an excuse, it's an attempt to explain the unfathomable. Poor conditioning. Players are expected to be fit when it counts. I can only guess that organizing the coaching staff, training the players, thinking of tactics has all been too much for FL. Obviously this job came way too early. Maybe it would have been best for Lamps to work as assistnat manager for a more experienced coach to build a network and learn about all the aspects of the jobs one after another.

Rookie coach and weak minded players.
