So we've just been beaten by an U21 team. 22:31 - Dec 1 with 1822 viewsOriginalMarkyP

Not one player older than 20.

And yet the manager thinks he can have a bit of banter with the fans?

A fan shouted at him after Arsenal scored...

...and Cook turned and said to him, 'Why don't you try shouting at the players?'

Delusional idiot.

Throwing his players under the bus. Again. Which he says he never does. It's been all he's done while he's been here. Get out.

Yes he did. Listen to his interview with Brenner.

That's shocking for a manager to say that.

Why don't you take it out on my players? Terrible man management.

He said he said it in a ‘jovial way’ and that he’d always take the blame.

He is right though, why not shout at the players. Terrible second half.

Wasn’t his fault KVY slipped and scored an OG.

Realistically only the players know what his man management is like. What counts is on the pitch and where we end up in May.

So, you're saying let's just wait until May and see where we end up????

Yes let's bury our heads in the sand and hope that if we pop them out come May we'll be in the play off final.

It's clear it isn't working for Cook.
It will be clear in one month. In two months. However many months you want to wait.

One win changes nothing.

Get 10 or more points from the next five and then maybe we can start thinking we're changing direction.

To spell out the obvious I know:

Another wasted season by jeera 26 Nov 2021 21:49
Win the weekend and that glimmer of hope will reignite itself.

Get a result at Charlton in a couple of weeks time and we'll start to dare to believe again.



I do feel people are going in a bit strong, a bit early, and it's a shame it's accentuated by a need to be right from all angles because things get blurred.

Of course if we win 3 from 5 [league] coming up this month attitudes will change, but equally it has to be asked if we fall short again at what point is too late?

Sure, if we were to agree this season isn't the be-all and end-all then ok, but man, the longer we linger down here, the more credibility is lost, the less chance of hanging on to good players/attracting more...

Lots to consider all round for those in charge coming up.

I think the sad thing is, if we're still in this division next season and Paul Cook is still in charge and we've continued in this stuttering vein, the great crowds we've been getting won't be there.

Too many ifs there.

We need to have a decent December so we stay in touch with the playoffs then as Ashton has said we'll be active in the window so hopefully that'll shore up our failings

No they won't. They've sunk £40m and they aren't changing the plan.

Cook was only ever a part of the plan. If he's not advancing the plan then they'll look elsewhere.

At one point do we hold our hands up and say changing the players has been similar to rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic - we’re still moving in the wrong direction. The answer cannot continually be “we need more”.

Exactly. Did you go to the game? Cook was bang up for it and focussed. He put everything into it. The players did not. It’s not always automatically the manager, they’re not playing and can only do so much. What did that fan want him to do differently? I’m pretty sure he didn’t say “great first half lads, don’t bother turning up for the second because you’ve already won.” I’m not in the ‘Cook in’ camp either by the way, just going on what I saw tonight.

Edit- Replied to the wrong post!

Under 21 Prem level players probably earning already more than any of our squad. Playing ironically probably more often as a team than our boys last night. We actually drew the game and lost on the lottery that is a penalty shoot out.

It happens; thank God; it's football.

And for every Saka in an U21 team at prem level there will be 8-9 kids who end up at league 1 or lower champ level.

Just because they are in Arsenal's U21s doesn't mean they'll ever get close to the first team. Or even a lesser Prem club.
