I don't think there are many players in the current squad that could honestly say they love the club.

Only Kane and Son probably

Son I think does and I think Kane still has some love for Spurs. Maybe Dier, Lucas, Skipp. After that I'm scratching my head.

Tactics also a problem...we played a mid block when we needed 2 goals...scared tactics for scared and weak players.

Son, Kane, Winks, Skipp

They dont know what a derby is. They dont care.
Thats why I say sell them all.

Dier and Lloris maybe in their own way

Players like Hojbjerg can have all the passion in the world, but sadly they are crap and not good enough

Sometimes, you have to hold your hand up and say the better team won. Passion or no passion, they’re squad is light years ahead of ours.

True, but you can make up a lot of difference with effort and desire. Just get in their faces, make it hard for them, press, tackle, shiithouse, anything. Look at what Morecombe did to us, and you can’t tell me the gap to Chelsea is that big. We just strolled around let them have the ball with no pressure whatsoever. Not a single tackle to let them know we are up for it and it’s an effing big London derby!!!!

Yep. We are a team with sights on simply challenging for the top 4. Chelsea have or had their sights on challenging for the title, and are the current European champions. We still put in a poor performance and could have gone more full strength, but not one of us realistically expected to get through against Chelsea when the draw was made.

Arsenal fan here not intending to wind up at all. You probably all recognise this, but To me it seems You need a massive player clear out, same is true with United and same did apply and still does apply to us. Think all 3 clubs have/had players who were well and truly in their comfort zone and happy to stick with either just getting 4th or even lower. The teams were not built with mentality in mind. If the squad doesn’t have that, it’s hard for a manager to turn it around. So a big squad turnaround is usually the place to start, cut all the bad apples, no matter who it is. Arsenal of course aren’t anywhere near complete, but I’m happy to see a process finally happening and players with a markably different attitude brought in. It may not work of course, and you have to take some rough with the smooth, but it’s good to be on a different road. It does always require willingness from the top to put things in motion, but we’ve all had owners who like the players are stuck in the same comfort zone. You in theory have a good manager, so a big clear out asap is surely the next step.
