Mikel Arteta - 'it is a concern that Bukayo Saka has had 2 hamstring injuries in 8 months'.

Also Mikel Arteta - 'let's play Saka for every single minute of every single match regardless of the opponent or if we are winning 3-0 or not'

Just had a look at the CL table. Damn, we just can't catch a break.View attachment 167770

Second again!

International break incoming meaning half the Arsenal squad will be 'injured' after the trip to Klanfield only to be magically resurrected after.

I don’t call Saka Lazarus for nothing.

We already have 6 players missing for the trip to the Dippers (White, Saka, Odegaard, Norgaard, Havertz, Jesus). White, Saka and Odegaard would have been starters, Havertz would have come on for shithousery duties and to break up play after our inevitable corner goal. So I think the break is timely as it means a couple of weeks extra recovery.

I'd love Rice to dip out but he genuinely seems to love playing for England so no doubt he runs himself into the ground. And you guys must be shitting bricks at the thought of that cretin Tuchel running John Stones ragged over the 2 games.

Maybe I'm not patriotic or whatever but I'm much more interested in how Arsenal do than England

Something we agreed on.

I don't want Stones anywhere near England as he usually comes back fucked for months.

I hope you lot step up and beat the 15 men at Klanfield. Even if it's with a stuffy corner goal of van dicks fat arse.

Yeah this could be a good time to play them. I reckon it will be a draw though.

They’ve had a quite a window and will buy everything eventually.

No excuses for this lot now. No longer the plucky underdogs competing against the evil force City. These have spent a small fortune, got depth all over the pitch. Lot of pressure on them now though, be a complete failure if they don’t win it this season imo.

It's their year this year.

I’ve been thinking exactly that.

both arsenal and liverpool cant win it whichever one doesnt has to be seen as a colossal failure.

Surprised Arsenal fans are so patient with Arteta. His negativity away from home is costing them for the fourth season in a row. He could’ve come to our place last season and won but came for a draw. Same today.

Not brave enough away from home but only takes 1 win. I remember us going to Chelsea in 17/18 and playing them off the park and the club/Pep have since pinpointed that as a turning point in attitude and confidence.

Hopefully he continues to bottle it and the fans/club get agitated.

It's mental as when we attacked them today they were in trouble but we looked like we were told to just take the 0-0 and of course they score a banger. And only then do we bother attacking. Small time thinking. £1bn spent to play terror-ball.

The attacking near the end is a bit of a falsehood. It wasn’t you pegging them back, it was them sitting deep having gone 1-0 up and hoping to hit Salah on the counter.

But I agree, they looked shaky. They did against Bournemouth at home so baffled as to why Arteta is so negative.

He’s ran that lad into the ground.
As your most creative player he should’ve been wrapped in cotton wool once the games won.

I thought Arteta should of brought Eze on earlier, he looked mint when he came on but all too late.

 

[CheshireExpat]

Thought they'd fixed their gaps and were in the ascendency this year.

Early days I know, but now doesn't feel the same with these points dropped.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Got more yellow cards than shots today.
