Will we win the league this season? No

Not disagreeing with any of that. Their lead is deserved, but my point remains about the coming months. They may well keep this up and no arguements if they do. But if they don't, it would be a shame that not being able to iron out a few of our problems will prevent us from being in the mix. A nice little winning run from us now would be most welcome.

Agree.

Alas, we're not capable of going on a long, long P/L winning streak. We're very good - but not dominant. Against sides that press us we'll struggle - most often we're better but marginally so.

This is Arsenal's title to lose.

We're close - and with luck - next season's signings will return us to the top. This season, we're top 4 P/L - but not - alas - title contenders.

No. Too inconsistent, away form is a worry. I think we’ll have a good second half of the season. I fancy us for the champs league. I think we’ll do well in cups but not the league.
 
I honestly thought we would win at Newcastle.

A really disappoint result.

We had the chance to close the gap to 1 behind Arsenal, with Arsenal playing Spurs later on.

It could be 7 pints behind Arsenal instead.

A fantastic opportunity to cement our place in the title race wasted.

Sounds like Arsenal have drunk us under the table.
 
Our wingers are not enough our defenders are too passive and we have no bite in midfield either which away from home will cost us big time which is happening . If big doesn’t score we don’t win and our second striker doesn’t get on the pitch to make a difference .
 
You delusional if you’re saying yes. And wins again Leeds and Fulham won’t change anything. We shit the bed when the going gets tough and never look like getting into a lead when we go behind. Squad is nowhere near good enough. We had a decent window when we should have had a great one. Onto next season in terms of winning the league.

Lost more games than 9 other teams in the PL.
There's little indication we have a chance of winning the league.
Too inconsistent, too reliant on Doku and Haaland, lack of leadership and pace at the back.

Our cavalry is piss poor as well, Bobb & Sav coming off the bench doesn’t worry anyone like Kev & Gundo did

Newcastle are a much better team than their league place would suggest.

They’ve been excellent at home this season, they’ve won their last 6 PL+CL home games, only conceding 2 goals in those 6 games, and didn’t deserve to lose to Liverpool nor Arsenal. They’re only 1 point behind us in the CL table and will end up towards to top end of the PL later in the season.

It wasn’t like we were playing a true bottom half team, they’re just a team with poor away form.
 
Absolutely not. I'll bookmark this and shame myself if we do, but I'm very confident. Rodri is a much bigger miss to us than Haaland would ever be.
 
We’re too puff pastry away, we need to man up and take control of the games, there’s no fear factor playing us now, we need to protect the keeper and stop letting teams bully us.
We have no Fernandinho or De Jong type characters and it’s a worry, we also need to quit this ‘to you, to me’ passing and attack teams by taking them on, it’s frustrating to f*** to watch.
Come on Pep sort it out.

Definitely a tough place to go had we had our finishing boots on we'd have got something despite the poor officiating.

Our away form is a real concern, we create bags of chances and don't take them it's really frustrating.

Our next 7 Premier League games

Leeds (H)
Fulham (A)
Sunderland (H)
Palace (A)
West Ham (H)
Forest (A)
Sunderland (A)

That's a pretty decent run and we should be aiming to get maximum points. Palace and Sunderland are the standout tough 1s but Sunderland are losing 6 players to ACON.

Huge 6 weeks ahead if we want to fight for the title.
