Regardless, they've got a clean sheet.
He didn't attack better than Liverpool.
They've got two goals.
We should have had two goals in probably the first 10 minutes.
This is the same thing I saw West Ham do.
Liverpool were street smart today.
Didn't do too much.
Diaz done his thing.
Congratulations, Liverpool.
Best of luck into the next round for Arsenal.
We've got two games this week, this month.
On to Crystal Palace, innit?
Jolting. Martinelli.
What's that? Jolting.
Great finish by Diaz.
South American settings.
Xhota doing very well.
We've seen this movie.
How many times did we say,
the more we're chasing this game,
we're going to concede a second?
This is the difference.
See the difference from Diaz?
Lend it.
Put your foot through it like a grown man
and put the ball in the back of the net.
Everyone else is on the play play thing.
I feel sorry for you, Ramsdale,
because you don't deserve to concede two goals.
I actually think Benjamin White's done all right.
Saliba and Gabriel's done all right.
Kyrgios and the bulk of stuff he did okay,
but it's not enough to do okay.
This is cup football.
Almost feels like a dream.
Credit to Klopp.
Almost feels like a bit of a dream,
if I'm completely honest.
You know when you lose a game
and you don't really know what has hit you?
Credit to Liverpool.
Do your thing, Arteta.
Got nothing to say, bro.
Even this, BBC, stop zooming in on Kyrgios' face,
because this is the thing.
Analysis starts getting ******* lazy as well.
This is what's jarring.
Yes, Kyrgios, better question marks over him.
Is he the guy? No.
And he did concede the own goal,
but don't make that like he was a training record game.
Football analysis can be quite extremely lazy,
if I'm completely honest.
And it actually effs me off, man.
Credit to Liverpool, man.
It is what it is.
You play with fire, you get burnt.
We was ramping.
We need a striker.
Tired of seeing other teams come back stronger after.
Shouldn't have went into halftime at nil-nil.
Seen this before.
We played well, but we can't finish anything.
Well, playing well's a hype, man.
I've seen us play well too many times.
I'm not going to enjoy my dinner.
Me, I'm past that.
Arsenal ruining my dinner.
I'm going to enjoy my dinner.
I ain't eating all day, man.
It is what it is.
The highs and lows of football, man.
Aye, man, you're right.
We're definitely going to have
an Arsenal therapy session tomorrow.
High deluded.
The problem in the team was Arteta's fault.
How can you have players and never rotate them?
Well, today is just horrible today, man.
I'm over it, man.
I like Arteta, but these late subs are frustrating.
I don't know what Smith-Rowe and Trusser
are meant to do in three minutes.
I don't know.
You lot let me know.
I don't know.
Like, I don't know what they're supposed to do.
It comes down to terrible defending for the two goals.
You know, unnecessary free kick to give away.
I don't even think it was a free kick in the first place,
but fundamentally, you know,
again, you go all the way back to the looting game.
We have dropped several levels defensively.
I think everybody in, like Stevie Wonder
and any blind individual in this world
could see Arsenal can create,
but we're never finishing.
It's horrible,
but you've got to get yourself out of this rut, man.
Got to get yourself out of this rut.
I don't want to see a single player
feeling sorry for themselves.
Fans feel sorry for themselves.
I definitely feel sorry for myself
because I wanted this FA Cup.
Congratulations to Liverpool.
Losing to Liverpool's B team,
and that's the thing, you know.
Any team that's got any little bit of street smartness
is going to get three points off Arsenal.
Yeah, we were, amazing is an exaggeration,
but we started well.
We had all these shots and things,
and that's what I believe for what it's worth,
but then I could obviously add a caveat.
I can say Liverpool know
they're coming here with a slightly weaker team.
They know us, you know,
you heard the gaffer, Arteta,
talking about getting in his Pep Guardiola bag
and slightly clocked when we faced them at Anfield,
talking about atmosphere in Gnm,
we're in a bit of a rut.
You knew, and you know,
give or take one of the better teams in the Premier League,
you knew it was going to come out a bit on smoke,
a bit galvanised and things.
As I, you know,
this is one thing I like being live with you lot,
you lot probably said the same thing.
You go and look in the first half.
You knew it was going to be in trouble if you don't score,
if you do not take your chances
before the end of the first half.
I'm more disappointed for myself and the fans
because it's the FA Cup.
Am I disappointed in the performance?
Of course.
But can I sit here and say I'm surprised?
Nope.
You've seen this.
There's even been games where arguably
we've been like that and won.
Three Ls on the bounce is shocking.
Too busy playing with their food instead of killing it.
You've got to find a way, man.
Oh, man.
Oi, what is there to say, man?
If you're still in domestic cups, clap your hands.
We've won a domestic cup already this season.
Let's remember, boy.
English Super Cup.
This is why you need a striker
to relieve pressure from the team.
You can't control games playing slow when you don't score.
And this is the thing that Man of Clinical would look...
Do you think Klopp or Liverpool are going to sit there
and say they played amazing?
No, and I'm not knocking them.
You don't have to play amazing to win games.
There's 38...
Obviously, this FA Cup,
I actually don't know from round one
to the final how much it is,
but it's just about getting through.
It's like in the Premier League.
38 games is probably naive to assume.
I'm sure if you went and asked Arsene Wenger,
the Man United sides, Klopp when they won the Prem,
City when they've won the Prem,
any Chelsea managers won the Prem,
I'm pretty sure across 38 games,
I'm very sure that they won't say
they were good for about 37 of those,
but it's about getting it done.
And it does feel like any team with a bit of clinicalness,
a bit of street smartness,
any team that you don't...
Liverpool's a team you've got to kill.
You've got to kill them.
You have to kill them.
It's not good enough to have all these shots
and all this chance creation.
And listen, the first half was a movie.
The first half was a movie.
We're starting well.
Everyone's doing all right.
Liverpool aren't really asking much,
but the difference between them,
I don't know for statistics,
they've got more clinical players.
The subs as well.
Jota's changed that game.
The quality of Trent Alexander-Arnold.
We haven't learned our lessons.
You know, Trent, he did it at Anfield.
He even hit the bar today again.
Obviously, he delivered the set piece
that led to Kyrgios doing Kyrgios stuff.
I'll tell you, you signed up for this win,
you know, in how you've assembled this squad.
I'm not criticising it,
but in the same way, I will gas it.
What's going on?
No Van Dijk, no Salah,
and they're through to the next round.
Simple.
Big team doing big stuff.
I love Saka, but how he gets 90 minutes
week in, week out when out of form,
I don't know, man.
Of course Saka is not on Salah's level, bro.
18 shots and no goals is absolutely crazy, bro.
Absolutely crazy.
It is what it is, man.
We got wrapped.
Put the word out, though.
We'll be back.
I'm seeing United and Chelsea fans, love.
Make sure, you know.
Make sure.
DG, how are you and Arteta?
How are you and Arteta in the squad?
I didn't get called up to play for Arsenal today.
I'm not, I'm not registered today, dude.
What do you mean?
I'm not in the squad because I'm not an Arsenal player.
I don't know what you're saying there, my guy,
but pick up yourself.
We'll be back.
You lot said you'll be back.
You lot are the ones in business, man.
United, you lot are the ones that said
the era's come to an end.
Tenago's talking about you lot.
Please, please, please, please.
I understand the bands have to run.
It's cool.
To be fair, you should be praising,
you should be looking at Liverpool
because they did something you lot couldn't do.
United fans, absolute shocking.
You lot have twerked for City all season,
last season when they dunked Treble on you lot, you know.
Now you're twerking for Liverpool.
This is what Alex Ferguson, you know, built.
You new age United fans, absolutely scum.
Yes, I've got nothing else to say,
so we're chucking that one.
I understand the game's the game
and the banner has to fly,
but unfortunately, it's not me.
Saka in that form where he knows he won't be dropped,
so he ain't got to try to push himself when the team isn't.
Only Odegaard was trying to carry the team.
Making it about you.
Why for the holding thing as well?
When Saka, you need to go to church, bro.
I don't know what's going on, lad.
I don't know, man.
You just need to learn from your bredra in Rashford.
When IC3 start doing these funky hairstyles,
unless you're Paul Pogba and Neymar and them kind of guys,
stay very far away from it.
A lot of soul-searching.
Boy, when you pray for rain,
you've got to go through the mud, innit?
Anyone got any other sayings on that?
Uncomfortable, we feel like we've been having
uncomfortable conversations every day, really and truly.
Is there any positives?
I can't sit here and say there isn't.
It's a cup game.
You're either in or you're out,
but if you had to, you know,
in the grand schemes of trying to be impartial with you lot,
if there was any positives,
think Nelson for a bit was all right.
Think Odegaard was decent.
Actually think my defenders,
including Kyrgios to a point, did okay.
More so on the other three,
think Ramsdell didn't deserve to concede two goals,
thought Havertz barring the finishing was all right,
but at the same time,
football's decided in both boxes.
You either put the ball in the back of the net,
keep them out yours.
We didn't do that.
In the same way,
maybe not so much like that,
but there's been games
where teams have had more shots than us
and we've run away with it.
Hey, that's how football is.
Sometimes you'll play like that
and on the law of averages,
you'll get the win or sometimes you'll get what happens here.
That's the difference.
The city do that.
Liverpool do that.
That's the difference between their squad depth.
That's the difference between their maturity.
That's the difference between winning and losing.
Simple as that.
Boy, boy.
And that big up them.
Liverpool got depth,
even though Liverpool a bit of an anomaly
because when they were winning stuff,
they didn't have the biggest of squads,
but Klopp has Klopped.
That's the way to get to the next level.
I don't know if Diaz, Darwin Nunez, Jota,
probably missing out someone.
If these guys will ever be like
the new Salomone and Firmino,
but they've got depth.
Thoughts on Nelson's performance?
Fairly encouraging.
Well, how far does it go?
Because you needed to put the ball
in the back of the net.
Really.
F around and find out.
There you have it.
I feel we needed to change tactics
to get Martinelli and Saka away from the throwing line.
I think you mean by line.
They played best last year when cutting in.
They're more inside forwards than out-and-out wingers.
I mean, everything, good or bad,
is a reflection of the manager.
Like when it goes well,
as much as the players off their own back
needs to start finishing,
needs to start finding the back of the net,
needs to, you know,
and there's a lot of things I can't blame Arteta.
These players are grown men,
whether they're young or old,
you're professional footballers.
At the same time,
whatever you lot have been working on since August
and whatever you lot working day in, day out,
week in, week out,
that's a reflect, the manager's telling you to do that.
Is the manager telling you to miss these chances?
No, because he's come out and said,
you've got to be clinical and things,
but the manager is the one doing these patterns of play.
The manager is the one that has not got a striker
that can bag.
And every player looks like,
in the attacking half anyways,
looks like a blunt knife.
The only one I won't draw out is Havertz
because like, bro, like, Havertz not scoring.
We're not going to waste time on that,
even though we should all.
One goal scored in our last three games,
six conceded.
Not controlling the averages.
Not controlling the averages, bro.
We'll take this form into the Champs.
It's going to be people that you think,
we're going to go for this nonsense.
I might say, like I said, in the West Ham,
watch along.
I'm taking my opportunity to run bants.
I know my team will lose tomorrow.
Hear you lot about tomorrow?
FA Cup on a Monday?
Hear you lot about?
You know what I feel like?
You know what?
Wigan.
Nah, you lot are winning, man.
You lot are not getting boxed by Wigan.
Bring on Smith-Rowe's pointless
and Tross Hart with three minutes to go.
Arteta's got to hold that, man.
As I say, in the Premier League,
when you assemble certain men to do this thing,
this is what you sign up for.
By the end of the game,
the statistics look fairly even now.
18 shots from us, 12 to Liverpool.
Five on target.
They had three.
They got two goals.
They're more clinical than us.
As I said, me personally,
I will trade places with West Ham.
When they beat us,
I will trade places with Newcastle.
I'll trade places with Aston Villa.
And in relation to the FA Cup,
I'll trade places with Liverpool.
Because they could sit here and say,
you know, you lot have that.
You lot be the better team on 90 minutes.
You're going to win though.
They're off the, whoever they,
I don't even know when the draw is made.
You know, we don't need to watch,
do FA Cup watch-alongs on my channel
until it's the quarters and semis and finals.
I wanted number 15.
It's not happening, is it?
Guys, you should stop thinking strikers are our main problem.
The main problem is that our,
is that both extends from lack of creativity, composure.
I think it's, I think a striker would help a lot.
But I don't, as I said earlier,
I don't think you sign a striker
and like all our fortunes change.
Every up could begin.
You look at Liverpool, you know,
Salah was the guy getting all the other goals,
but other people were chipping in.
You look at City.
Yes, they've done it without Haaland
when everyone was chipping in.
Haaland get X amount of goals.
The others are chipping in.
You sign a striker that gets 20, 30.
Mikel Arteta says to win the league,
you need to, you need to be getting a hundred goals.
Where's that coming from?
A striker's not going to get, not going to get fingy,
not going to get a hundred goals.
You know, Martinelli, no shooting boots.
Odegaard, no shooting boots.
Saka, dyeing his hair, no shooting boots.
You've lost Xhaka, so you've lost whatever goals he had.
Yeah, other guys might chip in here and there,
but listen, if we're not defending well,
if we're not attacking well,
then the manager's got to take responsibility.
Midfield is another one where I think I keep saying this,
and I don't know why I keep saying this.
It's another one where I feel,
in the grand scheme of things,
I think Jorginho was quite good today.
I think Declan Rice took a while to wake up,
but he was good.
Odegaard did not score, but I think Odegaard was good.
So if I'm saying three players played well,
but it just feels like there's something missing in there.
Like, I don't know what it is.
Never looked like we were really going to create,
in hindsight, watching that.
Yeah, cool, Nelson had a couple of bright spots,
but it looked like, again,
something's more likely to happen off the right.
Wait, it is what it is, man.
Should hurt, man.
You didn't want to show discipline in that second half,
so you have to deal with the pain of regret.
Discipline hurts, but it hurts a lot worse than now.
Unless they're on Kyrie or the...
They're better, man.
Smith or Nelson don't even look bothered
about playing five minutes,
three to five minutes of matches.
I don't think, I wouldn't say that's the case, man.
I think that's a bit harsh.
Honestly, have we had any good runs apart from when we won?
I mean, I'll tell you,
please go back to the start of the last year.
Not been happy with...
Cool, you can say, yeah, it's Liverpool.
It is what it is, fair enough.
Since we've won the FA Cup,
we've not been dealing with this properly, man.
Yeah, Klopp even stat padded one, two Melwood grads.
Arteta should have ran that.
Bring back Wenger.
Listen, Wenger looks more alive,
more of life since he left our squad.
Alex Ferguson and half these managers don't return Wenger.
Arteta does make a lot of his own messes, man.
In relation to why the subs were given two minutes,
that's when we're going to have to listen to Mikel Arteta.
I don't know.
It just is what it is, people.
In terms of player ratings, Ramsdale, I'll give you a six.
No, Ramsdale, I'll give you a seven, you know.
I think you made a...
I think you denied Diaz.
I think your passing was good.
I think Nelson should have gave you an assist.
I think you're very on...
No, I'll give you a six
because the first goal was a bit mad.
I think Ramsdale did okay.
White, give you a six.
Saliba, I'll give you a seven.
Gabriel, I'll give you a seven.
Again, when I watch the game again,
might look at the goals.
Kyrgios, I'll give you a five, man,
because I'm thinking that, like,
people are not going to agree with that
and they're just going to waffle it by.
And listen, there's no way I'm convinced with Kyrgios,
but I think it was a better game.
Unfortunately, it's your name next to the home goal, innit?
Odegaard, give you a seven.
Declan Rice, I'll give you a six.
Jorginho, I think you were quite...
I'll give you a seven.
I think Jorginho was good by his own standards.
Saka, just about a five.
Havertz, six.
It would be a seven,
but regardless of whether you're clinical or not,
you don't put the ball in the back of the net.
Nelson, I'll give you a seven as well,
even though you're very frustrating in the final third.
Martinelli, six.
Didn't really, yeah,
a bit of injection of a bit of pace in that.
Not really nothing else.
And Ketya, didn't really see you,
so there's not really a rating,
but I'll give you a five.
We know what you're about.
Smithrow and Trossart,
there's no way you could get ratings
because you were not on the field long enough.
So that's that, man.
Like, even if, you know, the thing is, yeah,
if you was not, if you were,
if we were just to write down how,
not necessarily specific to Arsenal, Liverpool,
but just general things as to why this game
went wrong for us,
and we pinned, you know,
and we did the same for Aston Villa,
West Ham, or any game recently, yeah,
and we was to write notes,
you wouldn't be able to tell which game it was.
You wouldn't, because it's the same things.
A mistake made more than once is a choice.
In life, you're going to learn these,
life's harsh, you know,
you're going to,
until you really want to learn from these situations,
God and the football gods,
we're going to have to keep going through moments like this.
And I think Klopp, he would even wonder, like,
I think when him and Arteta have a bit of beer
or a bit of wine after the game,
I think he would wonder how the hell his team
has kept a clean sheet.
But then Arteta has to point there and say to him,
because my team can't hit a barn door.
Doesn't matter who it is.
Oh, man.
I mean, if we're finished, I hear that.
If we're not finished, I don't know.
Either way, I don't want to see anyone
connected to Arsenal feeling sorry for themselves.
You've got to get on with it, innit?
You've got to get on with it.
You know, losing three in a row,
it's going to be a, it's going to,
it's going to be crisis for a team like Arsenal.
This is what comes with the territory.
Keep it moving.
There's not a single thing in Arteta's ways
making us play as much as I like the guy
that I can say I'm happy about.
Like, the wingers are not,
the wingers are not in goal-scoring positions.
The players are not clinical enough.
The players off their own back are very naive.
There's a lot of things, as I said, with the players,
but don't look threatening.
Yeah, we're creating, but it's not really threatening.
The players can't finish.
Midfield, as I said, it's missing something.
Defence, after starting so well and generally
for the first half of the season,
But people call me a hater, man.
I like the boys. I like this team.
But when I say, do we defend to the level of champions?
Do we attack?
They sit here and they tell me,
oh, we had all these clean sheets.
They sit here and they tell me,
oh, we had all these different goal scorers
last season and this year.
And I'm not denying that,
but you're lying to yourself.
Why can't two troops be held in the same realm?
And it's only in games like this,
people want to sit down and talk about things.
Because when I'm saying it,
when we're battering teams like Sheffield United,
I'm being a stickler.
I don't know about you lot,
but football don't lie, you know?
And I love this club.
But hey, man, after all that, man,
like Marcel said, Marcel, be gracious, man.
Yeah, well, ----.
We went through in the cup.
I ain't gonna lie like this.
One goal in 61 shots, bro.
Can't win football games then, can you?
You can't win football games then, can you?
How you gonna win football games then?
A bit of it obviously is, I can't lie, man.
Winning ways, you're my guy, but you're chatting ish, man.
There's no way Havertz played that then.
Like, come on, man.
Liverpool hit the bar twice.
Yeah, bro.
What did we do?
No, like, I know we had a bunch of chances,
but Odegaard hit the bar.
Well, he hit the bar three times
between the two teams, innit?
What, Jota, Odegaard, and I'll get it.
I'll get it, Trent.
Played with five goals.
It is what it is, man.
Don't rate that.
I'll tell you about another Chelsea reject, boy.
Two goals in six games is crazy.
Nah, man, lad, I hate the team thing, man.
There's not a single player out there that I hate.
Am I frustrated with you lot?
Yes.
Do I feel you lot need to get together?
Yes, but hate, that's a strong word.
You lot just not learning.
We win, we lose, that's football.
There you have it, Wayne, you win.
You win, you lose.
For me, the most frustrating thing
is you gotta be gracious in defeat.
Whatever, Liverpool won.
Best of luck.
Safe journey home to your fans
and anyone wherever they're watching this,
but we're shooting ourselves in the foot, bro,
and it's been there when we've won games.
There's been elements of this against Brighton.
There was definitely,
the City game is the only game I'll isolate,
but this was here against Chelsea.
This was here against Spurs.
This has been here even against PSV.
This was here against Lens.
This has been here against West Ham,
Newcastle, Aston Villa.
This has been here when we've beaten Brighton
and Sheffield United and Wolves.
I can't say I'm surprised.
And people say I'm being harsh,
and the world is harsh.
You think life cared that Liverpool went 20, 30 years
without winning the league title?
Do you think the world cared
when City could have won the first Champions League
and they bowled it?
Do you think people care that we ain't won the Premier League
under the Emirates?
Life is harsh, and you saw it last year.
So you have to focus on what you're good at
and make it great,
and take the things that are evident concerns
and make it to a great level.
I keep saying it, football's decided in both boxes.
I do think statistically
we're one of the better defensive sides.
I do think compared to what we used to be,
we've improved a hell of a lot.
But once you remove that of how crap we used to be
to the nonsense we're seeing now to a degree
and look at how do you pick Liverpool or City
to Prem's and Champs
is it'll be doing what they're doing,
walking the walk that they've done.
It's not there.
Ain't got that shooter in front of goal.
Ain't got that clinical gunman.
I think we're an improved defensive side.
I don't think we're a good defensive side.
And so anyone understands,
our first attacker is Ramsey de Oroya.
Our first defender is whoever's up front.
And even that, the press was good at the beginning.
What happened?
It's a 90-minute game.
And lately, when we played Liverpool at Anfield,
I think we started really well,
scored and it was like,
we don't know to stick or twist.
You know, West Ham, something was missing.
Fulham, we started all right.
And then when we scored, they woke up.
It's not good enough to play good for 10, 30, 20 minutes.
Obviously, it's going to be a bit of a duel.
We knew Liverpool were going to wake up after our clock.
Couldn't have been happy at halftime
because they're just letting Arsenal
do what we're needing to do.
But these goals change games.
There's no point doing the shoulda, woulda, coulda stuff.
Had we have scored early goals,
it might have been something different,
but it weren't.
The same old things.
And recruitment is one thing,
but like, bro, certainly there's several things
that these lot need to do on the training ground.
Don't look like you can score.
Don't look like you can keep clean sheets
or defend amicably.
And even that, I'm being a bit harsh
because I do think generally we defended well.
But as I said, if we want to win FA,
well, dump Liverpool out of FA Cup and go all the way
and win Prems and Champs and long way away,
but maybe one day a treble, like 50 years from now.
You have to focus on these fine margins
and conquering them because that is what Klopp did.
That is what Pep did.
That's what Wenger, Salah, Ferguson, Conte,
anyone who's won, anything.
It's the fine margins that make the difference.
It's the fine margins that went against us today.
And as I said, I would trade places with Klopp.
I would trade places with Moyes, Eddie Howell,
any other, you know, anything.
The only times I think we've been terrible this season,
Fulham, 100%.
West Ham in the League Cup, 100%.
But for a large part of the season,
I was actually more angry.
I was more angry in games where we drew,
if I'm completely honest.
Like, obviously, I'd rather get points on the board
than not, but I was a lot more angry
in how we played against Ferguson, definitely Chelsea,
than I was necessarily in the defeats
to Aston Villa, Newcastle, et cetera, et cetera.
I don't want to see no one feeling sorry for themselves.
But you lot are part of this.
You ain't learnt the lesson you need to learn, man.
And it's going to keep happening.
Give it to Klopp.
Done his thing.
Klopp did his thing.
He played youngsters, got debuts.
No Van Dijk, no Salah, no problem.
Absorbed all the pressure from Arsenal.
Diaz, Trent, you know,
the Donny, whoever said,
don't go with Trent, who cares?
You know, I always said,
I don't care that we can score,
just that we score.
And I wish I was in that position.
It's a cup game.
Don't know how far Liverpool's cup run is going to go,
but, you know, they're fighting for the League.
I'm sure they want to win Europa League.
They're still in the FA Cup.
Honestly, I don't even know if Liverpool
are still in the League Cup.
You'd have to go,
but either way, their season's ticking along.
Second half, King's Striker,
bro, Liverpool's a team you've got to kill.
It's like, oh, more from the wire, man.
You do play good football.
It's not over yet.
Ah, but I'm tired of playing good football, bro.
I hear it, but it's long, man.
Hey, the truth.
Appreciate that, man.
I'm not going to repeat that,
but luck for the sleeping chap, man.
I don't know what he's on, man.
And that's the thing.
It's mentality, bro.
I'm not even going to draw out Zinchenko.
I'm not going to draw out Kyrgios,
but we said at the start,
that Kwanzee, whatever his name is,
he's ready.
I said, I don't give a crap
about Liverpool Football Club,
but I'm a fan of that centre-back
just because of the way he plays.
That's one.
And he's obviously got a lot to work on,
but when they asked him about Matip,
he said, you know what?
I'm upset that he's injured.
I hope he gets back.
We love him.
I'm here to take someone's place.
Man, I have to be on these things.
DJ afraid to criticise Ortega.
I'm not going to lie, Omar.
Big up yourself.
But I've literally drew him out.
Like, I've defo criticised Ortega.
I like the guy,
but I'm not one of these idiots
that thinks Ortega's dicks in my hand
and I'm going to, you know,
twerk for some job at Arsenal
and lie to you lot.
Pause.
I'm not an idiot.
And I'm not going to sit here
and do ridiculously negative things
to get clipped off an engagement
and things.
Allow it, bro.
Like, I've literally said
what Ortega could do.
I said at the start,
I'd be vexed if Ortega
does not even go through in this,
regardless of what happens,
because I feel the last time
we won this trophy since then,
it's been an idiot thing.
Come on, man.
Let's not be silly.
Let's listen to exactly what I said.
Man can never tell me
I haven't questioned the gaffer
when I've literally said everything
indirectly is his fault.
Please, man.
I understand we need someone
to get at, but allow it, man.
Clearly got him.
The Emirates is like our second home.
Thank you for hosting us DGCU
again in a couple of weeks.
Don't you go cheat.
The white kit, man.
We didn't learn, man.
Didn't learn, man.
My bad, bro.
Popped in while you were chatting
about the players.
Apologies, man.
Kwanzaa's sick, man.
Don't know how far he could go
without Canate, a beast.
Quality centre-back, bro.
We know this.
We've seen him play a lot of the time.
And even more why I rate
Canate's performance today
is because you haven't got
Van Dijk next to him.
Not saying he needs him,
but you've got to be the senior guy.
I know Joe Gomez is
relatively experienced,
but he's playing left.
And I know you've got Trent,
but he's playing left-back.
You've got Kwanzaa.
You've got to pull your teammates
through it.
Big up Liverpool for that.
League is back to city.
Liverpool ain't built for it.
Havertz can't keep up
with the speed of English football.
He should go back to Italy or Germany.
I think Havertz, the only thing
I can criticise with you is
you ain't put the ball
into the back of the net.
But I mean, I'm not being funny.
Lord knows how many times
Kai Havertz has played
in the Premier League
or played for Arsenal in general
and played for Chelsea.
When has he ever been known
for goal-scoring, bro?
Like, I'm not saying
you shouldn't score,
but at some point I have to look
and say, how can I keep getting
vexed at the same things?
And I don't think Havertz was...
He weren't terrible.
He just can't score.
And at the end of the day,
if you're relying on Havertz
to score goals, you can't...
I know he scored the win
in the Champions League final,
but if we're relying
on him to score goals,
man, can't tell me you want
to win serious things.
Control the variables
you can control, man.
Don't know if you've touched
on it already,
but thoughts on Saka's performance.
But he started well
and then done **** all, really.
Just like everybody.
Which track would you like us to get?
I would all love us to win,
but he's getting Chelsea.
Samith, man, subs took too long.
It is what it is, man.
Starts and stops with finishing.
Indirectly, we should have
been having a strike on, man.
I'm not being funny.
You should have seen from
Gabriel Jesus last season
that we need to do what City did,
like utilise you in the squad.
You're one of the guys,
but you're not the guy.
And this is what I mean.
Arteta takes people
that are good squad players
and then makes them first team regulars
or builds the team around them.
It would have been very romantic
if Jesus came, scored goals,
became the top don.
The same said for Zinchenko.
And don't get it twisted.
At the time, they elevated the system.
They helped us.
They did all of that sort of stuff.
But learn from people
who have done this thing already,
like City showed you.
Zinchenko and Jesus,
they can be utilised.
They can't be the guys like that.
It is what it is, man.
Honestly, what more is there
to offer and say, lads?
You lot saw it.
Arteta just learning on the job, man.
And this is the thing.
It's a naive manager
leading naive players.
I like the guy.
I do like the guy.
I think there's more reasons
to keep him or not and then sack him.
And I'm not saying do not sack him.
If there's a feasible plan
and a better manager,
then listen, I've got nothing
to gain from Arteta.
You know, if you achieve success,
you achieve it for me
and my football club.
There's all people that are on this.
Oh, I told you Arteta
was never the guy.
Or, you know, Arteta could
---- in his hands and clap.
And there's certain fans
that would say,
oh, that's so innovative.
They're both dishonest
with the truth in the middle.
And reality is now, as I said,
Arteta, big you up on
when you walked
into this football club
to how you've, you know,
you've given the fans
a heartbeat again
or the club a heartbeat again.
We're doing all right.
And what you've done,
what you see last season,
that's when it stopped.
I'll stop praising you for that.
If we're fighting for a Prem,
I'm not, of course
I want to win it.
But I'm not saying
to necessarily sack you for that.
The margins for error are there.
And it's naive, man.
Look who you're playing up front
to score goals.
Look who comes in to decide
in all areas of the pitch
if there's injuries.
We're creating our own issues
on and off the field.
It's like one step forward,
10 back, 20 forward, 30 back,
50 forward like this.
And then the thing is,
with the club, as much as I like us,
we love this projecting,
like we sign a striker,
you ain't got no 10.
You've got a 10,
you've got no striker.
You've got a winger,
you've got no right back.
You've got two centre-halves,
you've got no full-back.
You've got the full-backs
and the centre-backs,
there's no keeper.
You've got a keeper,
you've got Efo in front of them.
You've got a decent 11,
you don't have the squad depth.
Injuries can happen.
But how many times,
injuries, last time I checked,
injuries are not unique
to us, the football club.
And for how many years,
even before our title,
we're going to keep waffling
about injuries
and then doing this thing of,
I love them both.
And to be fair,
both of them,
especially Pari,
were fit last season.
But how much times
are we going to watch
the same story
and be surprised
by the same movie ending?
Huh?
But you can't get rid of Havas.
Arteta's got to make that work
or make man sit on the bench
and rotate.
You can't.
Chelsea couldn't.
I don't even think Havas
was terrible today,
but it is what it is.
Chelsea couldn't believe
that he was going to run
them 65 million.
And as I said,
I am not an accountant.
I don't know what
Arsenal were trying to do.
But when you look at this,
how close we were to FFP
stuff in January,
I do go back to the summer
and I think, hmm,
maybe the budget
was a lot more limited
than we thought.
We've given new contracts,
big ticket item in Declan Rice.
Balogun wanted to keep it moving.
And, you know,
we do wonder
what he would have done up front,
not that he's making any noise
in France and people not waffling.
Maybe let him go because of that.
Maybe there wasn't enough money
to bring in a winger.
So that's on top of other reasons
why Nelson got a new deal.
And that's why I kind of look at
Arteta a bit more funny
because, cool,
I don't think Havertz is terrible.
He's definitely not the answer,
but he's not terrible.
But if you were working
with a tight budget,
did it make sense for 65 million?
I don't think I think
I won't say Raya's turned the corner,
but I think he's been OK.
Did you need to buy?
Just plain devil's advocate,
not saying it's wrong.
Did you need to buy Rams?
Because he's not 20,
you know, degrees better than better
than 20 places above Rams.
They're kind of both like that.
I don't know.
Yeah, cool. Timbers injured.
And as much as I feel
definitely in the last 18 months,
this, you know, the signings
that have worked
to the ones that haven't worked,
have been, you know,
in a positive favour.
And I know I know not every man,
you know, every manager,
even the greatest in the game,
they're going to get things
wrong, really and truly.
But I mean, again,
some of these players
are not even relevant,
but you've committed 27 million
now for David Raya,
three million on loan
and I owe you to Brentford.
Fabio Vieira, even when fit,
yeah, cool on the bench,
has good games.
And I'm not dissing him,
but does he move the needle?
Lokonga, how much was that?
Tavares, how much was that?
Curiel, how much was that?
So indirectly, as I said,
everything is Arteta's fault.
Am I sitting there and saying,
Sack the guy, you know,
is Arteta the one playing up front
and messing around with his dinner?
A hundred percent not.
But when we're praising,
you're the one who gets it.
You have assembled this squad
and it's naivete.
Everyone could see,
I don't care what no one says,
everyone could see August midfield,
you needed one.
Everyone could see quickly
you needed another striker.
The last few months,
everyone could see
you need better defensive bodies.
Yes, certain man are injured,
but yeah, man,
it's long now, man.
How much time are we going to keep
talking about the same thing?
It's boring, man.
To be honest,
I think Nelson was one of our
better players, but Schmid
restarted the process.
I don't think Havertz was terrible.
I don't.
Yeah, in front of goal,
******* ----.
But I don't think in the grand scheme
of things, he was terrible.
So be it, man.
I don't think Havertz was terrible.
In front of goal, pussy outing.
I don't think he was terrible
across 90 minutes.
I think it's the same old,
same old with Havertz.
You put yourself about
in the final third,
where it matters,
you are playing up front,
not making a difference.
Simple as that.
Nelson shouldn't have come off.
I don't know, man.
That Ramsdale pass was something
absolutely amazing, man.
It would have been nice for even
Nelson, like that's like
there was a chance where Saka did that.
I don't really get vexed
when people miss chances
beyond the obvious
as to why we'd get angry.
But for me, it's it's the intention.
Like Nelson's tried to,
I don't know,
you try to find the near post.
You can tell you're snaking it.
You're topping them from now on.
You do your thing, man.
Everyone's allowed to do
what they need to do.
You do that, man.
Bro, Havertz,
you're going to get mad.
You've never shown me your clinical.
Arteta needs to stop
doing the captain save
the whole thing.
Anyone that looks a bit damaged
or looks like they need help
or looks like
if you could just play them,
Arteta wants to save them.
Like J Cole said,
if you don't want to be saved,
don't save her, man.
Bro, it is what it is, man.
Absolutely crazy, man.
Ramsdale, it's all right, man.
The whole thing,
everything is predictable, man.
Everything's predictable.
Arteta isn't there yet.
The team lacks confidence
in team play.
Something just isn't connected.
They've got to pull themselves
out of the confidence into that,
because, you know,
we've all seen the all or nothings.
We've all seen them boys
talk about it, you know,
when it was all negative at Arsenal
and oh yeah, don't sign Benjamin White.
Don't sign Ramsdale.
Did they not say they shut off
the outside noise
and kept doing what they're doing?
Pull yourself out of it, man.
You know, life throws you curveballs.
Throw something back.
Life gives you lemons.
Make some Kool-Aid and some Henny, man.
Peak, man.
It's peak, man.
It's peak.
Aye, Zimz, appreciate you
for the raid, my guy.
Yeah, man.
When someone said,
where is Baka'i Osaka?
When you find out,
let me know, innit?
Let me know, man.
Doesn't play like McTominay,
because McTominay
probably would have bagged
the United fans
would be in the rafters, really.
And Julie is what it is, man.
Is what it is.
That's credit to Liverpool.
No Salah, no Virgil.
Did what they needed to do.
Did what they needed to do, man.
I don't even think
he's trying to be Pep,
because Pep ain't relying
on Eddie Nketiah, bro.
Pep will come out
with Eddie Nketiah relying,
saying we cannot replace him.
He's so good.
So, so good.
Look what he says
with Calvin Phillips.
He's so good.
I wish I could play him more, bro.
Pep's not on this.
I kind of been saying it, really.
I think he just scrolled back.
I've got to repeat the same things, man.
But it is what it is, man.
Oh, can we get to 300 likes?
We're at 282.
If you've hit that like button,
I appreciate you lot.
It's just, that's just the way it is.
It's long, man.
Absolutely long, man.
Oh, it's one of them words.
We don't really,
I don't really want to hear
what any player has to say
or any manager has to say.
Like, there's nothing
you can't say,
that you didn't say against
half of these teams.
Like, when you're losing
and drawing comes with football,
but like,
you're stealing from yourselves.
You're robbing yourselves.
Like, you're shortchanging
yourselves.
Like, you can't rob out Gabriel, man.
What's Rey Mysterio done?
Shut your effing mouth, man.
EG, I think we're not serious
as a team and Arsenal institution.
There you have it, man.
Need our tech to start
putting pressure on these forwards.
Bro, he's got to put pressure
on himself.
Sack of knees overlapping fullbacks.
That ain't gonna, I hear it
and you're not wrong.
And yeah, it will create
more chances.
But every attacker,
whether it's Martinelli,
not really today,
but Martinelli, Saka, et cetera.
Cool, I hear you.
You need overlapping fullbacks.
We need an eight.
We need all this jazz.
Beyond that, yeah.
And we hold them players accountable.
Have they all been performing
in the final four?
Do you think Arteta will beat Porto?
I don't know, man.
I don't know.
The way we're moving right now,
Porto are probably like,
yeah, supporting Lisbon.
Last year, we were going to deal
with you lot.
This year, you better pray
you never get a Portuguese team again.
We didn't miss Jesus' party.
It is what it is, man.
But at this point,
what's the point of boring you lot
anymore on this Sunday?
As usual, whether you support
Arsenal, Liverpool,
whatever team you support,
I appreciate you lot.
If you haven't subscribed,
smash the like button,
then I don't know what.
But big up you lot
who were here before the game,
during the game and after.
Yeah, man.
You know, as you know,
we had some technical difficulties
at the start.
We got here in the end.
Unfortunately, it weren't enough.
Congratulations to Liverpool.
You lot do what needs to be done.
I hope you don't win it,
but you lot do what needs to be done
in the FA Cup.
Got to be gracious.
