Big blow for them today, losing a 2-0 lead at Anfield, you can find a way to make some excuses for that, losing a 2-0 lead against a really struggling west ham, nothing excuses that.

Maybe the bigger worry than the losing 2 leads, is the fact that in both games they were flying at 2-0 up and once the other team got a goal, they have just went to pieces and have been lucky in some ways to even leave with a point.

I fully expect them to beat Southampton next Friday, but if they lose to us, they are in big trouble imo, they have to face Chelsea (H), Newcastle (A), Brighton (H) and then Forest (A) all very very tricky games.

They are having a big wobble. It’s starting to get to their shit back 4.
 
From Arsenal mania ha...
As i said if we competing against team other than city these away draws at Liverpool and westham wouldn't bother me even tho perfect scenario would be 4 points but against man city they make you feel if you don't win all your remaining games until end of season you wont finish 1st. Its tiring to be honest i wish pep can f**k off soon this is no fun at all.

Yep but the state of that 2nd half from us yesterday is concerning.

I’ve slept on the result yesterday and feel that what happened in the second half was because of Pep’s calculated risk with the subs.. on paper it shouldn’t have been as nervy as it was but that’s on the players IMHO not the manager..

Stay focussed and I can only envisage one outcome

That 2nd half,that team,is an irrelevance to our title charge.The only reason Pep took the opportunity to give those players an outing at the same time was because of the almost impossible task of the opposition winning the game.
The problem was,i think it even took Pep by surprise just how poor that combo of players,and,ultimately,his decision was.

It will not be repeated,so concern yourself not.

Imagine though if your one of 5 subs and you ALL get thrown on! Really hard to gel and ALL get up to pace. Risky gamble but worth it in long run. Plus game time for a couple who may be needed. Cole's feet were good i thought

I think you’re stretching it a bit, saying that Chelsea is a very tricky game.

They are really weird this year, there's no way that squad of players is a mid-table squad. I wouldn't want to be be playing them and they are capable of throwing a surprise. I'm not saying it will happen, but I can imagine them raising their game and maybe getting a point!

Not sure I agree….they should have lost to Brighton about 6 nil but for some poor finishing…

Yes, I think you're right on that - and looking at the team Chelsea put out, something is seriously wrong if that's their best team. Something is seriously wrong at that club, and not just what they've spent this year!

I just think a squad with Kante, Kepa, Ziyech, Fofana, Mount, Sterling, James, Gallagher, Chilwell, Cucurella, Koulibaly and Kovacic should be capable of a top 4 finish and giving Arsenal a game. Some might be out with injuries etc but there's enough quality there for them to be able to raise a game.
 
Not sure if anyone's touched on it yet, and as I didn't watch the Arsenal 1st half, did Ramsdale - or one of the others - sit down and do a time out for an Arteta teamtalk around 20 minutes, or so?
