“No, thanks I’m watching Arsenal try and attack. I’m good”

I think this is just the wrong line up - I’d have gone with Trossard on the left at minimum just cause I don’t think we have enough ball retention with that front 3 + Eze + Hincapie

Not gonna kill the guy but you’d think a dude who’s out of form would try and use a game like this to play himself back into form. I’m just pretty worried about him.

These apps are the most insidious by product of our current culture. Fuck everything about this.

I think that’s right. But these signings were there to reinforce and supplement so we could survive when Saka and Odegaard DID have dips. Especially Saka because we’re now going on almost 2 years of Odegaard falling off and we can’t keep blaming the injury. Saka is still a single point of failure.

Arsenal had more open play premier league goals through this point last year with Sterling as our main attacking sub (which was only cause of injury). Like I said, our attack hasn’t improvised and you could actually argue it has regressed.

It’s not outlandish to say Vik, Noni, and Eze have been inadequate to our attack so far. It’s indisputable that they aren’t even coming close to providing the reciprocal value from our outlay. Our attack hasn’t improved in the slightest.

Truly, I do not think it’s that complicated. Without Saka in form, we have no dynamism in attack. It’s just that simple. Nobody can just “make a play” to borrow a basketball term. It’s devoid of creativity. Odegaard, Jesus, Vik, Eze, Trossard as of late, Noni, Martinelli - all underwhelm.

It was almost the exact same performance except they didn’t have any one in attack to punish us.

No we’re still top of the league and United got lucky and we still had more of the ball it’s all good!!!!!!!!

Those bottles be bottling

Unfortunately, this is all too commonplace with Arsenal. We have the dumb gene

We have the dumb gene. Another game where the opposition have absolutely nothing about them and we just refuse to make it easy. We’ve created better chances for United than ourselves

Arsenal have the dumb gene

Fair enough! Why do you think Arteta seems reluctant?

I sure hope so. Eze feels very much of the Smith Rowe ilk where he’s clearly very talented and will have his moments but just doesn’t not have the consistent skill set Arteta looks for in midfield. Too much of a passenger

How is Gyokeres getting slower??

“If that were Granit Xhaka”

Part of me tends to believe that unless you are coming back from an injury, you should show up ready to play when you are given the opportunity. I just don’t buy it’s lack of rhythm why Eze underwhelms. I think he’s just a bit of a poor fit for Arteta’s system/ how Arsenal play

Second place mentality once again.

Despicable performance by Arsenal. They will probably win the title this year but it will because their competition dropped off. This is a second place team with a second place mentality at the moment.

😂

We’re just gonna have to agree to disagree on this. Players time waste, that’s true. It’s a problem. I still believe us and players reasonably discern (even in the moment) when a player is actually injured. I believe this to be one of those cases. If you don’t, that’s fine. I dont see it that way.

I’m a massive Arsenal fan who can be reasonable when I believe someone on my team was in the wrong. Not gonna change how much I support them.

They literally had more possession than us. There were 4 minutes of added time. We don’t have to do this haha. They could say the same thing about Martinelli’s dive in the box.

Actually great point. Martinelli also dove 10 minutes before the incident so I guess it is reasonable that he would assume further diving.

If he stamped on his face, then yeah he probably deserves a red. He didn’t do anything that deserves a red. I think it’s really bizarre to assume a player who went down screaming with a non contact injury is automatically faking it.

Do I believe Martinelli knew Bradley was injured purposely tried to injure him further? Not at all. I believe he didn’t know he was injured and I believe you have to be an idiot to assume a player is faking it in that instance. So I believe Martinelli was an idiot and acted shitty.
