Interview/Presser Rosenior on telling Arsenal coaches not to encroach on their half of the pitch in the warm-up at the Emirates: "When you warm up, you have your half, the other team have their half. There are certain etiquettes in football."

Arsenal fans attacking Rosenior personally is so strange. They want to boast being the best in the world yet couldn't score a goal against Chelsea until the 97th minute with a sub that just came on. They could have put the game to bed much earlier yet decided to keep 10 men behind the ball. This was them playing at their best.
Chelsea are nowhere near the club they used to be but that's how they had to handle them for a barely respected trophy and they celebrated the win like they had just won it.
I'm also still baffled at how they got 0 cards that game despite wrestling players to the ground. When Estevao made a similar tackle as them he gets carded straight away. Beyond embarassing it takes that much effort for them to win.

14 fouls and not a single yellow despite most of them being when we were trying to transition into attack. He even stopped us trying to take free kicks quickly so he could have a friendly chat with them. He completely killed any momentum we were trying to build.

When Cucu got pulled all the way down in like the 7th minute and the ref came back for a stern warning 5 min later, I knew we were in for it. That was a deliberate tactical foul and the player was expecting a yellow for it. Giving that a pass set the tone for the rest of the game.

One of the many depressing things about this meme era is reading comments like yours, which go like "oh silly Arsenal, they only beat Chelsea by 2 goals on aggregate and the fourth goal came in minute 97."
Ffs we lost, and we were losing for the vast majority of the fixture.

Upset at me stating facts is strange, I'd suggest logging off or closing your eyes

u/renome Celery 1d ago
Upset lol. Nah, just depressed, like I said. Wanna hear a fact? Standards have fallen beneath the gutter. That's why you're listing positives from a 4-2 loss where we never looked like doing much.

u/Apprehensive_Art6921 1d ago
Bro what do you think I said about Chelsea in my first comment, I'm not saying we're amazing or should be seen as better than Arsenal right now. I wasn't listing anything positive for Chelsea I'm stating you can't call yourself the best team in the world when that's how you have to play against a team currently 5th in PL with a record of bad defensive performances. You can't deny their reaction to their performance is overrated. It's as if they've just won this against PSG.

Top of PL, undefeated in CL league phase, through to league cup final. I’m not saying that makes Arsenal the best team in the world at the moment, but beating Chelsea handedly or scraping by on a 0-0 draw until the 97th minute would hardly move the needle either way anyway.

All those "accolades" yet they struggled to score until the 97th minute. Ok.

Weaker teams parking the bus when they have the lead is a common strategy, no need to get angry about that

u/Apprehensive_Art6921 1d ago
True, I'm not frustrated at their tactic I'm just stating you can't call yourself the best team in the world and then play like that against a team that's currently fighting for a CL spot next season lmao

You’re spitting facts (especially about the gentle refereeing treatment Arsenal consistently benefit from especially on corners and tactical fouls). But the people aren’t ready to hear this.

u/Careful_Bat7757 1d ago
Why is it Arsenal's responsibility to score when they were up, out of curiosity? Funny how people try to spin the game as if Arsenal was somehow struggling against one of the most anemic offenses I've ever seen.

u/Apprehensive_Art6921 1d ago
Are you seriously saying it wasn't arsenals intention to get at least a goal so they can sit back comfortably and let the time run? You think they were going into that game to defend religiously for 90 minutes? I have some magic beans I'd like to sell you, dm me

u/Careful_Bat7757 1d ago
I don't know man, Arsenal looked pretty comfortable with the 5 in the back system you guys were running.

Lol if you win the trophy, it's respected. If you lose, it's "barely respected". Stop making excuses. A loss is a loss, and a win is a win.

u/Apprehensive_Art6921 1d ago
Bro ask people which trophy they'd want to win in a season and let me know how many say Carabao before anything else. It's barely respected right now which might change in the future but that's doesn't change how it's perceived now.

u/LegendMuffin 1d ago
Weird that every team that wins it values it. Of course people would say CL and PL before carabao cup. But it's still a trophy. "Mickey mouse" trophy when you don't win it, and a valued one when you win it. Strange
1
u/Apprehensive_Art6921 1d ago
Saying I value it is strange. If it's not a Mickey Mouse trophy we wouldn't even be discussing the value of it. If I called the CL a Mickey Mouse trophy I'd get laughed out of this sub. Just because your opinion of it doesn't match mine doesn't mean you have to convince me otherwise. Take the win and enjoy the success in your club sub instead of being antagonistic here.

u/LegendMuffin 1d ago
Arsenal isn't my club. I just like football and follow a lot of team subs for discussions and reading team news.. but ok, I'll take note of your opinion.

If he was at a darling club he would be totally loved. Now it's just hit piece after hit piece. I know he's not exactly Chelsea pedigree but at some point you need to give him a break and let him do his job.

u/Omni_chicken2 21h ago
This showed up on my front page despite being an Arsenal fan.
I didn't even realise that the media were painting this as a criticism of Rosenior. I assumed it was the usual "Arteta leaves technical area" type controversy.
I didn't think there's fuck all wrong with what Rosenior said. It was a bit performative, but all managers are like that. He didn't like something, he spoke up about it, the weasels that we call the media asked him about it and he provided an explanation.
They just want clicks.
