I’d be interested to see those moments analysed, because they are really such a central part of the conversation when talking about how we snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Problem is that we were screwing up the “stale domination”.

We’d engage full horse shoe (ole ole) mode and then Rice, Zubimendi, Saliba or Raya would have a complete brainfart and give Chelsea a scoring opportunity…

Its uncanny how often we
Tried to shoot ourselves in the foot last night.

Thanks again for your analysis. It’s superb btw.

Scott - is there a stat that measures the xG of the chances spurned…? Those moments when an Arsenal player chooses to pass into a weaker position instead of shooting?

These moments happen a lot and contribute so much to our angst and the tension in a game.

I’d love to know what stat to look for.

We car seem to win a first or second ball.

And we’re slow to loose balls.

It’s been a remarkably frustrating performance because we should have been streets ahead.

Great 3 points.

For fuck sake

This is clown car mustafi level shit defending.

Zubimendi has been poor.

Raya?! wtf?

That’ll make up for the time it went out after Eze’s long shot but wasn’t given.

Karma.

Garnacho must have some Easter Island blood in him.

Fuck it.

Another goal please.

Have we learned nothing?

Timber is so often the dead-end of a build-up.

It’s sooooo annoying.

Someone explain it. Please. Ta.

Pet peeve: the shielding of a ball over the back line by a defender often involves such blatant fouling and body checking while not in control (.or even proximity) of the ball…

It’s overlooked but it really shouldn’t be…

Andy Townsend has to be one of the most annoying people on the planet.

One twunty comment after another.

It always amazes me what shit hot-takes the commentators reach for.

SMH

Declan Rice has a screw loose. Uncharacteristically erratic.

Yup. Told ya.

Here comes a goal.

Exactly what I was talking about.

Risky, slow, unnecessary.

We’re fucking the hamster right now.

This ref is a fucking nonce.

We’ve got that deer in the headlights look.

I’ve seen it before so many times.

I hate that deer in the headlights look.

Cmon Arsenal.

Be the headlights.

Not the deer.

Why can’t we out in balls like that.

Instead of fucking around on the edge of their box.

It’s ludicrous how many great shooting opportunities we have wasted.

Martinelli brace incoming.

That was coming.

We’ve been our own worst enemy.

Just play football.

Stop fouling. Stop with the dark arts.

So many terrible decisions up and down the pitch.

Lucky not to give away a PK in last corner.

Karma? :(

How about shooting FFS.

The pitch seems really slow.

Holy crap our buildup play is tedious and risky.
