Why are we so bad at the Emirates all of a sudden this season our home form has been embarrassing apart from the southampton & spurs results its been awful. Teams arent scared going there anymore they actually think they will get a result, before the game Laudrap said will had no chance of winning the title hell we cant even beat Swansea.
So what is wrong with our home form we have been unconvincing at home in europe too if we get a quality team in the next round it might be another 8-2 old trafford debacle.
When we first moved in the emirates wenger said it takes time to make it a fortress, Bayern & Juventus in recent times have moved stadium & dont have our issues at home. TBH since we have moved away Highbury i've never been comfortable with the emirates, might be a bigger ground but that means more away fans drawing out the little response from home fans, also our style of play is suited to small grounds i.e highbury & not the Emirates.
Home Form Debacle

Mate it's pretty simple, we don't have a good enough team to make it a fortress

what about you Stadium Announcer, did you have him in the Highbury days, he used to get the crowd to say the home scorers second name but he does it now it seems.

I think it is because of the hostile atmosphere that our fans create towards our players. Every misplaced pass is moaned, every failed attack is groaned. Our players are booed because we do not think they our doing well. All of these must pile up mentally on the players, and thus I think this is why our play is become ineffective. Instead of taking one touch, they take two, because they know a mistake will get the crowd on their back. They take their time looking for the right pass, because they know if they get it wrong the crowd will groan at them. We need to get behind the team. Applaud all their efforts, and out sing any away support.
