Same. A thousand hopeful crosses into the box. Not much of a plan

Now that you mention it … yeah

This is the analysis you just can’t get from the tacticos

Thank you for clarifying what I find so annoying about the β€œmust win” argument.

Nuno is available!!! He’d get them playing on the front foot, surely!

But we can now spin it as β€œThese players are all great but they’re being held back by Arteta’s system!!”

How does the third movie of the Godfather series compare to the third film in the Emmanuel series?

Back when the club knew how to send a player on a proper 6 loans in 6 seasons journey.

Well he didn’t play at all against Israel, which could mean he’s nursing a … you know …

I feel like I say that a lot in recent Arsenal matches, for both the men and the women

Please get a third goal, Arsenal.

Hahahaha same

It’s … really… annoying

It feels like so much of the conversation around Arsenal is coloured by a weird folk memory of the 0-0 at the Etihad. It’s now got to the stage where they can outshoot the champions at Anfield but be decried for their caution because of a Szobszlai screamer.

I think the most important takeaway here is that Liverpool look flawless and don’t need to add anything else in this window

Give it a little while to settle. Hard to analyze this when Saliba went out 5 mins in

31.08.2025 17:38 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

And no Saliba after 5 minutes. Hard to β€œgo for it” when you’re trying not to expose a 20 YO

I just think it took Slot a half to realize there was space in midfield because we weren’t gonna push up our back line and risk exposing Mosquera.

Once Willy went down a draw was my hope - and probably get it if not for a moment of sheer brilliance

Does anyone factor in that maybe losing a World Class CB 5 minutes in and replacing him with a 20 year old might have, I don’t know, altered the approach just a little?

31.08.2025 17:33 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Not having Saliba was such a gut punch. Killed our ability to play out of the back and forced us to be much more cautious in attack to cover for Mosquera

When Saliba went down it really limited our chances

Not a great game if you’re the manager of the French national team.
