Arsenal playing really well. Glad it's only 1-0 tbh.

We look off the pace and can't get out. Cancelo and Bernie definitely below par so far.

Think the ref's having a very good game too.

We need to double up at full back stop Martinelli and Saka not take off cancelo.

No, he needs to be pegged back, which is exactly what Walker gives you, the problem we have is the anchor in midfield, can’t get on the ball as they’re pressing well but also man to man on Rodri, Gundogan changes that as kev is playing hide and seek

End of the day we are getting well beat and if we don’t get our head in the game we will get beat and its not because of any shit ref decisions or arsenal have had more time of than us . Pep will wait till the 60th minute before a change .
 
Bernardo looks tired
He needs a rest
Gundogan on for him second half
Getting over run in midfield otherwise

Arsenal have outplayed us here. More energy and far less sloppy than we are.


I don't think we can single out individuals fairly as it's a team wide issue.

We’ve been sloppy for a while now and got away with it against teams that can’t pass and move the way Arsenal do.
Can’t keep giving the ball away cheaply to these. They can play and will punish us again.

Sort it Pep.
 
they are nothing special then any of the teams we’ve faced. pep and the team knows what to do . yes we looked gassed out and thin on the bench having played fews days ago makes a difference.
 
Bright side, we can't be any worse, downside, arsenal could easily have a few more and I wouldn't expect them to be so wasteful second half. We're being out fought all over the pitch, they're running more getting to balls quicker all unacceptable for a Pep side.

Cancelo needs to come off he's a liability there and we're just lucky they've targeted the left more, walker will negate martinellis pace. Gundogan is needed in the middle to get us some control further up the pitch. Kdb false 9 jesus on the wing, mahrez off.

No chance Pep makes 2 subs at halftime though. He will give them instructions, give them 20 minutes before making a sub and I think it's game over if we wait that long.

Arsenal are playing well but we're making then look like world eaters rather than the decent side that they are.
