No way Arteta sees out this season.

Oh look he’s walking jussttt fine now. Miracle.

Didn’t see who it was. Assume it was Lazarus.

At our old ruthless best Arsenal would have been 3 down before getting into our half.

The commentary is fucking appalling, trying to argue Fern would have had a red card with var, he hardly touched the soft twat.

It doesn’t seem to matter what personnel we put in there, the outcome is the same. It’s all pass, pass, pass but go nowhere.

Certain players are absolutely pissing in the wind.

Mahrez, I fucking despise with a passion. I don’t give a toss how many hat-tricks he gets against 6 finger inbreds, he is no fucking good.

Bernardo these days is nothing more than a runner. There is zero creativity and zero end product. I am unsure how long you persist with an attacking midfielder/winger who doesn’t create or score.

Foden needs to show more as well. We are all clamouring for him to play more games but when he gets his chance he has to do more than this.

Agree

Sorry but in no way were Arsenal good for their goal, they've resorted to diving like a bunch of fannies and relying on the ref to keep them in the game. That said, we just need have some confidence in front of goal and none of that will matter, we've been by far the best team and should have scored 2 more goals. Arsenal have created next to nothing because the defence has given them nothing aside for a mistake on a set piece and a stray pass from the GK.

I don't know what game some people on here are watching.

Our own worst enemy yet again.

We should have at least 3 in the bag,and yet we can't finish.

We are far too lightwieght in the attacking stakes,Mahrez and Foden are just weak in the challenge and arent doing their bit to hold up the ball or win it back.We are second to many 50/50's in the final 3rd.

Why cant we just play direct and quick football?? As the 1st goal proves,it fucling works!

Beggars belief we are going in at one a piece.

We play cowardly football. We keep possession just for the sake of it hoping to create the perfect chance. The amount of times we get into a decent attacking position only to turn back and recycle possession is amazing. It must happen at least 10 times per game.

On the flip side, I’m sure Pep would argue that this approach does allow us to create 2/3 perfect chances per game. The problem is we never fucking score from them!

I hate to say it but I’d like us to take a leaf out of United’s book and actually shoot when a chance/attack presents itself. Sadly, Mahrez, Sterling and Torres all have a bad trait of turning back when they have space to run into.

What's happened to Phil?

Playing high up in-between lines, not his game at all. Jesus on the other side is excellent doing that, but his finishing is just......The whole first half was like having a bucket near the bed and pissing in it, only to wake up in the morning and drop it on your head. We are just masters of it, playing well, controlling and controlling the game and then just throw it away in instant. This is the worst team we played so far this season.

Rodri seriously?? What have foden and Bernardo done in this game. Every game Rodri slander. Ffs

Have a look At Fernandinho, he gets it looks forward and moves quickly
Rodri gets it turns like an oil tanker and Dias and Laporte know they are next, the guys so far off the level we need to be at
Bernardo and foden also wank
Take kdb out we’re average
