Arsenal (A) - PL Post Match Thread

[phargrave]

Not an unexpected result considering who was missing and also that City don't get going until mid October. Defensively we were excellent especially Gvardiol who looks in imperious form. However, going forward we offered very little and Haaland looked disinterested which is slightly worrying.


One thing which needs to be addressed if not in January, but next Summer is adequate cover for Rodri.

Disinterested…….he got fuck all service!!

We will not get many goals from our midfield this season poor buys imo we now look well beatable now

Not sure what Pep's tactics were for that game, but that wasn't us.
It was though we were scared of them and were more determined not to lose than win

 

[big gaz]

City were missing Rodri and of course De Bruyne is out

Both teams looked like they played for a draw. It took a shit deflection to win it.

Not the end of the world if you're a City fan. You always come good the business end.

I have to say, Haaland is the most prolific scorer I've ever seen but if he's not fed he's the laziest man in the world lol

Worked his ass off against Forrest second half, fuck off.

We lost to a major deflection in our 3rd away game on the trot.
We had no KDB, or Rodders. Jack and JS. One back but still not up to speed. We need to pick out Erling a lot better than we have done, or he becomes a passenger.
We still need an out and out left back.

It was like playing with 10 men with Haaland. He was non existent today. No creativity! pass back, sideways,back then sideways again repeat and rinse.

Rodri's madness has cost us 6 points and shown without him we are ordinary.

Add in without Kdb as well.

Cowardly performance - both teams were awful.

 

[Deleted member 81382]

We played with very little ambition and got what we deserved.

Can't even complain about the deflection because Jack's goal in the same fixture last season took a big deflection which won us the game and arguably swung the title race in our favour.

The most dissapointing thing is not losing three points but the belief and momentum it will give Arsenal.

Let's hope this is just our usual slow start and we kick on after the international break.

 

[Keeper!]

If they were on the pitch they were playing for City and I acknowledge that. Sorry. :-)

He no problem but today we did not do our shirt justice.

We look shite without Rodri in the middle, no control. Need to ship Phillips out and get someone competent to deputise for the big man.

No DM in the world will want to be bench most of times while Rodri getting guarantee started.
