Playing with fire here. 1 is not enough.

The defending is atrocious and Burnley should be level at least.

Improvement needed. Nico needs on in midfield. We have zero control.
It’s more the confidence in the fbs pushing on; they doubt the cover and nouri occupies the space doku normally thrives in, the goal highlights it…..

Making this harder than it needs to be
 
What people need to understand is that it’s only in our hands if we win by 3 goals here at a minimum. We have the more difficult fixtures and Arsenal have this shower at home. A narrow win will actually encourage Arsenal, they’ll sense an opportunity to take control and put it in THEIR hands due to the fixture list.
Yep I think we need to run this 4-0 to give us a cushion as Arsenal will batter Burnley in a few weeks.
 
Reminds me a little bit of the Spurs away game where the home atmosphere was subdued. We need to be careful that history doesn’t repeat itself.
 
Guehi been poor
They targeted him twice in the opening five minutes- straight through him, and that was clearly a deliberate ploy to unsettle him.
They clearly sense a weakness in that pocket between Guehi and Ait—Nouri, with O’Reilly caught too far infield to support. Most of their danger has come from balls curled round from that area.
 
again with goal diff being a factor a 1-0 is not so far from dropped points when you consider what's left for both teams. we'd basically have to rely on arsenal to drop points again. i am not confident they are not outscoring us.
Do you mean the Goons outscoring us ? The team that hasnt created a goal from open play for weeks.
Give over.
 
We probably should have had at least one more goal, but unlucky on some situations. Unfortunately, we really need to put the screws to them and get some goal differential built up. Arsenal has an easier schedule to finish so need to take all we can.
 
What the hell is going on here. Messing about. Giving the ball away. Giving chances away. No control. Need the 2nd goal ASAP as we all know what will happen. A daft foul, penalty, ward prowse free klick, stupid corner.

Get it sorted city
 
Do think we could easily be 3 up here and we’d have nothing to worry about, created a lot of chances and don’t think the lineup was a mistake.

1-0 at HT though means we should get Nico Gonzales on, I don’t think we’d create any less against these lot with that change. Would be a mistake to not make that change at HT imo.
Or 3 -2 up as weve given up a few unusual chances too
 
Rewatching their chances and I do think Khus's positioning was god awful for a lot of it. His recovery pace got him back to make blocks/the shots harder but the opportunity shouldn't be there. Still, love him
 
Arsenal haven’t been showering anything at home for months now. Forgotten how to create from open play.
Could easily have scored 4 away at the Etihad on Sunday though. Theyve got the ability to smash their remaining opponents and we have to play like that's a given.
