Even during this horrible season our Europa League side could still excite us, but even that isn't true any more. 2-1 down and our best striker and £72 million winger are sat on the bench. Our £72 million winger, in fact, isn't featuring in the A or even the B team now!
As bad as Emery is, and as much as I do blame him for all of this, what about the players and their professional pride? Absolutely woeful.
7 games without a win. It isn't going to get any better. Just hurry up and put everyone out for their misery for heaven's sake.
RATINGS
Martinez - 5. Didn't have much to do but still conceded two.
Chambers - 5. He's a trier but he isn't good enough going forward.
Mustafi - 6. Maybe not a popular opinion but I thought he did [pretty well.
Sokratis - 4. I thought he was alright for most of last season but this season he has been a disaster and I just don't know how he hasn't been dropped. Scary when he is on the ball and made a pathetic attempt to stop their equaliser.
Tierney - 5. Quiet and didn't do much going forward, which is unlike him.
Luiz - 5. Only lasted half an hour so we'll never know how that experiment would've gone.
Xhaka - 6. Thought he was okay. Don't think laughing and joking with Frankfurt players at the end of the game was the smartest idea...
Martinelli - 6. Pretty lively and got an assist. About the only positive point of this season.
Willock - 7. Lively, energetic, all-action display that just lacked end product.
Saka - 6. Pretty lively in the first half, not as good in the second half. Isn't playing with that spark he was earlier in the season. Wonder why...
Aubameyang - 5. Looked a little sluggish and didn't get much service, but still managed to score.
Subs:
Guendouzi - 4. Didn't really get up to the pace of the game and didn't think he looked that bothered either.
Ozil - 5. One good through ball to Chambers otherwise he didn't get much opportunity to make an impact.
Torreira - N/A. Why?

Good ratings Matt.
I wasn't as impressed with Willock as you.
The youngsters are being found out at present. They're getting too much game-time.
Why aren't Pepe or Holding playing?
Quote:I totally agree with you. I hate it when people say the manager has lost the dressing room and the players won't play for him. That's rubbish, the players earn a shed load of money paid for by the fans in the stadium. They owe the fans something and that is respecting the shirt and the fans. I have zero respect for players who won't play for the fans.Boston Gooner

Quote:That is pretty much may of the modern footballers. Especially the ones that aren't boyhood fans. For them is just a job. The only ones who would give all under such circumstances that hate losing and want to play the game well cause that's how they enjoy it. There are hardly any with respect for fans or for the shirt, there's too much money involved. And its not just with arsenal is everywhere.goonerredQuote:I totally agree with you.
