Arsenal (H) - Post Game Thread

[Nightmare Walking]

Usually the team that tops the table amongst the top 6 and end up champions. Wonder what that table looks like??

I know we are nowhere top…

Wolves would be top I think.

 

[Keeper!]

Before the game, most here said we would win comfortably and they are bottlers, can't change the tune now they got the result they wanted.

With the dippers winning , it's two points dropped for us both.

Win or bust for me today.

I will be shocked and delighted if we get 6 points in the next 2 games

 

[Gray]

We played well enough but we're lacking. Lewis, Doku, even Grealish are not good enough to make us better when they come on.

Nonetheless we had arsenal pinned back and if lfc slip up we are ready to fight again. Some players need to step up though. And foden needs his form back.

Would help if waistcoat hadn't flogged him to death.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Incredibly because he is way off last seasons performances, he does not look the same player

Any other club in world football would want his return. He will be crucial to our attempt at the double treble.

Arteta is smiling way too hard in this interview. Loser mentality, in case the game today didn’t show that already.

 

[Kamaro011]

It looked like that was always going to be the way, the Paquetta deal was the one that was out of our control and it's cost us, Nunes a poor replacement

I hate it being treble winner is not enough for player like Bellingham wanting to join us (I know he already decided to Madrid before our CL win but still).

The allure from Madrid it's too damn strong and i hate it.

Fucking hell we're still in the mix of 3 competitions and fanny wipes are crying tonight.
Intensity after the international break was always going to be an issue in this game and yet we gave it all out there today.
28% possession from Arsenal was only a couple of % more than what the rags had against us and yet they'll get all the plaudits tonight.
Beat Villa and keep turning the screw on those 2 above us and let's see where it gets us.
Remember "we've won it all".

It's bizarre, and I'm the well-known downer on this sub! We bossed them. I thought it was going to be far more edgy than that. I've been far more worried about our defending than attack this season, and the former was more or less brilliant today.

 

[HorlocksWalk]

If we do get them in the Champions League can we go straight to penalties?

 

[Big_Alan]

Only one team was trying to win the game.

They played like Brentford

Brentford were better...

 

[kanovic]

Lewis and Grealish made us miles better. Our problems are further forward.

Doku should not be anywhere near this team. He’s Garnacho standard, should be at Watford. Fucking Forrest Gump

That’s harsh. Kid is 21. He has huge potential and showed it in the beginning of the season. Give him time and judge him. Everyone also struggles in the first year with pep. Sane, Rodri, grealish etc etc. again 21.

 

[Keeper!]

we need to be more clever. Arteta was pulling players out of international games. like Gabriel and Saka, did they look injured?
Foden played 180 mins.

while we probably needed to prove Grealish is not fully fit extensively to join England given he was out for weeks for us.

100% this, we blame the International managers, just pull our players, fuck them, we pay the wages

 

[richards30]

Foden, Haaland and KDB poor for me, especially second half

We were praising Foden and his coming of age as a worldie the last few weeks, he disappeared today

Is there now the question to be had for KDB? If a big Saudi offer came in? Haaland is wasted in this current team and when he does get chances just isn’t at it at all

 

[avoidconfusion]

League gone I think. 0 threat going forward recently.

 

[vmsuhail]

They wont win anything under arteta. Hes a shit bag. Why come play for a draw when that was useless to both teams

Arteta was all smiles after the match. Why do folks think this is a useless result for Arsenal ?. They're just a Liverpool draw from going top.

 

[Blue Til Death]

Frustrating.

Poor from us. Haaland, De Bruyne and Doku. Wank.

Title gone now.

Please explain how the title has gone with 9 games to go?? How long have you supported this club?? How many times have we clawed back deficits far greater and won the league..!
Way too much defeatist talk on here, no way I’m giving up the title until it’s impossible to win… That’s what other teams do..!

 

[nellyonthewing]

Incredibly because he is way off last seasons performances, he does not look the same player

Teams have figured him out . Double mark him, sit deep offer no room and he is like a corralled hippo. Our slow plodding pass and pass does not suit him . I feel sorry for him -the joy in his game has been extinguished.

 

[Keeper!]

Any other club in world football would want his return. He will be crucial to our attempt at the double treble.

Yet he has had a disappointing second season, that's just fact

Leave him. He is throwing that toaster in with him in the bath already

 

[FogBlueInSanFran]

Glad you said that about KDB as I thought I was the only one thinking it...this season should be his last as the main man -his body just isnt capable anymore...we have seen too many of those performances this season especially against the better teams.

Maybe it’s the hammy injury that’s done him. And it’s not like we rushed him back. Haaland needs service; KDB was the best provider of service on earth. When one is off it hurts them both IMO.

 

[big gaz]

I agree, I think you'd have done better with Alvarez for a game like this.

I was taking the piss, hence the wink you thick gunner.
Good job Taylor read the script and kept at least 6 of youre players not on a yellow in the first half.
