Viktor Fagerström

In a dysfunctional team that’s massively struggled with patterns of play and fluidity. In a first season at a new club in a new league.

Wirtz is world class. He was when we signed him and that’s not changing anytime soon.

Yeah at this point he’s not going this season unless we suddenly fall through the floor. And if we continue like we are a Summer change is mandatory.

.

Not under Slot we won't.

Well the question is really are the heights Arsenal are sacrificing for defensive stability worth the trade-off. Guess we'll see at the end of season in terms of trophies.

Oh it definitely is. Was last season. Same this season. Ppl saying the league is worse these days are mad or simply focusing on the very top end of the table. Because the top is definitely worse.

The Arsenal project. Supposed to be in their peak. Making slow and steady progress for years. Have had their manager for a pretty long time. Consistent squad that's been routinely added to each season.

And they're on track for.... 83 points. Not awful but certainly not convincing.

Brentford's work these last few years is so commendable.

Think the shot hit both Cubarsi and Lewa and in that pinball one of them was marginally offside

Barca scored. VAR just took more than 7 minutes (SEVEN) to check the goal for offside. Eventually disallowed.

Atleti 4-0 Barca at HT 😬

What a banger 3-0 goal that is from Atleti v Barca.

Tracks for a dysfunctional team :/

Prob ligaments done and/or broken bone. Twisting your ankle sucks, we've all done it, but even the really bad ones have the pain fairly quickly settle down. So I'm not hopeful here...

Poor conversion. With 23 shots and 1.84 xG you shouldn’t have to rely on a corner goal.

Gave up initiative again after the goal but actually did defend with the ball towards the very end, a much needed change.

Good win and good performance overall. Shoutout to all our defenders in particular. All 5 of them (excl Ali). Shut them down. Midfield didn’t bow down either.

Wirtz was everything going forward as Hugo had a day off. Wingers dead weight sadly.

We did a win!!

I'm not 100% sure it was a pen either. My problem lies with the fact it was at the very least an unclear situation at first sight. VAR waving it away within seconds is real dubious.

Gomez real solid since coming on btw.

Ekitike off for Chiesa. 88th min.

He'll be disappointed with his performance.

If I had to guess I'd say he's hurt his ankle ligaments.

Here we go again. Sit back. Sit deep. Give up all possession.

Away to a newcomer this time.

Why would that matter. He's preparing himself for a shot and his arm is way out from his body. And not behind his body either.

Jones on for Gakpo. 75th min.

Ekitike ffs. Passed it too late and to the wrong player.

Horrid. Should be a goal.

VAR checked that within seconds? I'm supposed to believe that??? With zero stop in play??

Penalty??

Looked like he twisted his knee as well but when he went down he held his ankle.

Will have to get get carried out on a stretcher. Face covered under his shirt for minutes here.

Does not look good at all.

Endo twisted his ankle and must come off. Joe Gomez replace him.

RB position is cursed.

VAAAAN DIIIIJK 1-0

Massive chance for Salah... Blocked. AWFUL finish mind you. Would have gone straight down the middle of the goal and keeper would've saved it anyway.
