Arsenal (A) - PL Post Match Thread

Didnt deserve to win it but also probably didnt deserve to lose it....

We are well off and especially creativly. Losing Rodri is a two fold problem....one defensively and as the pivot but also in that it means another player (today Bernardo) is filling in for him and it means we lose that players ability further forward.
(on a side not - if Kalvin Phillips hasnt got the message yet then i dont know what will be needed as Pep is picking an 18 year old right back ahead of him)

On top of that no one is stepping up for KDB and gundo...i heard lots at the start of the season about how kovacic would be that person - he aint...good player but he aint adding goals/assists - its not in his game and never has been.
Nunes (he aint been bad) - a luxury player and not one to win games
Foden - needs to be trusted more centrally so he can show whether he can step up or not
bernardo - again does ok in the pivot role but we need him further forward.

Gvardiol played well as did walker

The rest average....Haaland got absolutely nothing...he held the ball up well and passed well but absolutely nothing coming through the midfield to him.....and the less said about our wide players and what comes in from those positions, the better.

No complaints as fully expected a defeat given the state of flux we are in.
Actually did better than I expected and it had 0-0 all over it.
Stuffy winner.
Time to re set in 2 weeks with Rodders and Stones back.
Back to the 4 CH in defence with Walker out and Stones in the false role.
Was always gonna be hard this season after last years treble. I worry that the signings we have made are not good enough

Although it is too early to judge on the new signings, but Kova and Nunes does not look a game changers. They both good at passing but they seems to lack the abilities to create chances to score.
 
Thought we were pretty poor at the end of the day but Arsenal were barely better than that. Goal very reminiscent of Trossards against us in the charity shield, whopping deflection that was never going anywhere when he first hit it. Thought Lewis worked hard, couldn’t understand why he came off. As many have said there are 30 games left, Arsenal will have a shit few games as will spurs.
 
Only 4 shots and 1 on target shows the negative tactics one again, yes possession is great but if you don’t shoot you don’t score. Complete lack of urgency all game.
 
Good teams sometimes have a bad run of form and we need to keep our heads and let the boss work it out. I don’t think we have been dreadful in the three losses, just not dominant like we’re used to and luck has deserted us a little. I already prepared for a tricky season with the players who left and the injuries but probably would have accepted 6 wins out of 8 at the start.

People need to know we’re not winning three trophies this year, it could be one or none in my opinion.
