Whatever your view on Ole, it looks like things are taking its toll on him. I actually feel sorry for him, he looks like he has the weight of the world on his shoulders. He's good in front of the camera normally, but despite what he says, it looks like he is under huge pressure.
The baby faced assassin is starting to look more like Bilbo Baggins.

We had 31 attempts and in spells looked good. He’s probably bemused why we can’t do it for a full match and perhaps score some of the 31 attempts. Everyone seems against him so it must be pretty tough.

31 attemps that just tells me we should of brought somebody decent who can put the ball in the back of the net.

He always looked like Bilbo Baggins.

Unfortunately when the pressure is ramped up by fans and the media over a few bad results it becomes harder and harder to stay cool and calm and slot those chances away.
It can be the start of a spiral. Hopefully it isn't, and we can get a few goals against someone and the confidence starts to come back.
There have been so many decent chances this season where either the keeper has pulled off a decent save or one of our players has rushed a shot and the chance goes begging. If a few of those chances went in we could be several points better off and the mood around the place would be much better.

if we loose 3 or 4 of the next games playing like we are i wonder if the club will come out and say we are going in the right direction. if we do we will just be above the relegation zone. would love to see woodwards face then.

Ai shappy and if my aunt had you know what she'd be my uncle.
Weve been really unlucky since March.

Injuries are mounting at a new level.
Now Gomes and Dalot (again) are injured.

The spiral Shappy is what I mentioned a couple of weeks ago. If we fail against Arsenal we could well be in one and that can mean big trouble. We don’t have a manager who knows how to turn it round.

Daz,
Ridiculous thing to say, like suggesting top bosses at any company shouldn’t be under any pressure or stress because they earn more than lower level staff.
Pressure is all relative to your situation.

Red Man, can you name me a manager who knows how to turn it around? I can't think of many top level managers who have been in charge of a team which has had a serious downturn in performances who then turned it around.
Jose Mourinho is a proven top level manager, yet he has never been able to turn it around once it starts going wrong, Chelsea twice, Real Madrid and with us. He has proven four times that even a manager as successful as he has been isn't able to turn it around once it starts going down hill.

Echo Shappy's post.
Can a new manager come in and make Mata or Andreas a proper RW?
Can he make Lingard a better no 10?
Can he make Matic faster or can he improve Fred's technique?
A new manager may come in and rip up the team and we will once again be stuck with another rebuild.

Shappy TRD
I get you like Ole
Another manager who knows what they are doing would at least have a pattern of play. Jose got the mess to second and won things. There are problems above but trusting the failed Cardiff manager is absolutely incredible really
Like with Moyes there is a long list before you get to Ole, an even longer list than there was to get to Moyes
Personally I would look at a shortlist of Poch, Allegri, Tuchel and I also like Conte. It needs someone the players will think has the experience. Then we need to be patient. Right now we are a whisker away from a spiral that could be disastrous, an odd win may not change it.

Well well Shappy, looks like Wenger knows exactly how to turn things around.
