I know the manager is shit but these players know they have their own brain right? Look like they've never played football before.

And some of you want some of these in our first 11 shit or shitter

Players playing badly is one thing, and you can't necessarily blame Cooper for that but what you can blame him for is not changing anything.

Soumare and Choudhury Skipp not playing means it will be the other midfield dream on Saturday..

Can only really follow the stats and at least we've been peppering the goal with shots on target Anyone putting their name forward for a starting place?

Out of interest, how much ODI cricket do the aussies play? Can't imagine it's that much. They are just a consistent side across all formats, with some players playing all of them. Must help with cohesion.

Whether they have a case or not, I don't like this. It's just putting pressure on to get future decisions (even if does benefit us) Just encourages the shit you see at grassroots. Nearly everything about the Premier League sets a horrible example.

It's weird, because it benefits us but does anyone else get annoyed with his swan dives that somehow convince the ref almost every time

Going to bump this thread when Southgate takes over

Need to remember that managers weren't queuing at the door to come in this summer with a potential points deduction hanging over our heads. Cooper was clearly not first choice but at least he wanted it.

It's not been a disastrous start, and I know you can argue about points dropped etc, but it could definitely be worse. However questions regarding style of play, ambition and team selection are fair points. Would we have beaten Everton if we had more of a go? Who knows but it would've been nice to see us show some more intent. No sustainable club sacks managers after 5 games, unless we have been battered every game, but I feel Steve Cooper is on a hiding to nothing here. Sacking feels inevitable.

Always funny when the 'changed' team is better than the original..

If the refs do have a stricter policy ob arsenal players, even if its subconscious, its because arteta is a bellend of the highest order. Can't stand top level footballers, makes it almost unwatchable.

Draws don't keep you up. Need to turn some in to victories. Really disappointing ambition to win the game. Good that we were able not to lose, but I feel like we've drawn through luck rather judgement. Just show some intent. Subs didn't try and win the game.

So poor. No plan and making Everton look decent on the ball. Winks looks like he doesn't want to be out there, ndidi tries but is just shit on the ball, Mavididi and el khanouss getting in each others way and keep turning backward, same for Ayew. I'd trust Vardy if the ball fell to him but he offers nothing else. Justin just shit. Okoli done a good job on DCL so far.

Can only assume Ndidi is being picked because he has some height for set pieces.

making Everton look like Man City passing it around Nothing tackle from Winks, and poor from Justin. Front 4 offering nothing to receive the ball.

Making 2 subs in stoppage time when losing what is the point

Something immediately dislikeable about the new Stoke manager

Stat padding for Kane again. Hat trick already, some players would give someone else a penalty.

That sub stinks of the captain thinking he can't be arsed with this

Missed the first 20 minutes but Milan have been awful since then. Liverpool could've scored 6 or 7. Pavlovic in particular has been terrible.

Awful goals to concede from Milan. 2 headers in the 6 yard box from set pieces.

James McLean is an embarrassing footballer, supposed to be captain

Bit of a running joke I know but no surprise manchester is wet Meant to brighten up this evening in this part of the world, would probably be fine if it started at the same time as they other two games.
