Arsenal Women crashed out of the Women’s FA Cup this afternoon, losing 0-1 to Manchester City, in the fifth round of the competition.
Arsenal, 14 time winners of the Women’s FA Cup, played well on the whole. But Manchester City were the better team on the day. The first half of the game was a little lacking in lustre, but in the second half both teams came alive, with good football either end and good chances either end. Arsenal’s Sabrina D’Angelo made some super saves for our Gunners, but Man City’s Khiara Keating made some wonder saves between the sticks. For me, no goal-line technology lost our Gunners the game when Keating looked to handle the ball over the line from an Arsenal corner but it wasn’t given..
Many are calling for head coach Jonas Eidevall to go. This season Arsenal Women, under Jonas’ leadership, have:
- been knocked out in Round 1 of the Champions League
- been knocked out in the 5th round of the FA Cup
- are struggling in the WSL after 3 defeats to mid-table teams
Eidevall has, arguably, has the best squad in the WSL, an embarrassing amount of midfield options and he keeps getting it wrong. It’s becoming a hugely disappointing season for us Gooners..
Should Eidevall have been sacked after losing to arch north London rivals Tottenham, for the first time ever, in December? Or our our Gunners defeat to West Ham, again, for the first time ever?
Eidevall refuses to concede title after Arsenal Women suffer shock West Ham defeat.. Is Eidevall delusional?
Are you still keeping your hopes up for the season Gooners? I’m struggling..

Yep. Dude is a busted flush. Jus sayin…
Yes. Time to cut ties. He’s been given players galore over the last 3 seasons. He is still as clueless today, as he was from day one. I know for a fact that there are definitely 4 women players that will be hoping, waiting, and praying that Jonas Eidevall gets booted out. In the past two and a half years, he’s lost a few of the women in the dressing room. Jonas Eidevall has no player/management skills whatsoever. Jonas Eidevall doesn’t know how to speak to women full stop
Too many (great) signings, way beyond necessity, has become a muddle.
Let me put it this way. If Emma Hayes was our manager we would probably still be on for the quadruple!!!
@HH. You are correct. Way too many signings. Shame previous Manager/Coach Joe Montemurro left for Juventus. He left Arsenal’s women side in good nick. He finally bought in Japanese Mana Iwaduchi, a player he had been wanting to bring in for years. It’s a huge shame he left Arsenal. Jonas Eidevall absolutely destroyed Mana Iwaduchi as a player,, mentally and physically. I’ve been associated with Mana since she was 14 years of age when she was breaking through the ranks of Youth level of club and international football. She was an absolute genius as a player, and a role model for young girls. In hindsight she should have put in a transfer request at the beginning of the 2022 season. Her time at Arsenal was always going to end in tears. The treatment she received from Jonas Eidevall was nothing short of disgusting. It also divided the dressing room
You are wrong in many ways.
The club signed Iwabuchi before Jonas was signed. Not his cup of tea and neither are you by the looks of it
JM did not leave for Juventus. He reached home before they offered him a job.
@Michael. Please learn to read, and above all, learn to comprehend what and how you read. I didn’t say Jonas Eidevall bought Mana Iwaduchi. Where did I mention that??? And Joe Montemurro was on Juventus’s radar for awhile. He went to Juventus. So it pays for you to get your facts right. I know a hell of a lot more of the Women’s Football scene then you will ever know. Been involved with the Japanese Women’s and Men’s International teams for 16 years now
Facts right or wrong – We’ll agree to differ.
Why not wind up the “Supporters” Michelle Maxwell???? You post pessimistic match previews, barely anything positive and this is exactly the article you long to write: sack him, drop her, lose to them and so on and so on. Why not apply for the job yourself but there is one problem you seem to lack anything or thoughts that would motivate an elephant never mind a football team.
TIP: Support Spurs!!
