We just are far too easy to get points off ? We don't have a winning mentality
The title was not lost tonight, it was handed on a plate to Arsenal and that is what hurts.

Ok, maybe we are not ready and this team should be a long way out off the race for the title, but giving points away at home is a real killer and sometimes you have to blame the manager and the setup, We don't go for the kill anymore and we struggle to hurt teams because the ball is stuck in midfield and passed to death.

Haaland should be asking where is the service ? crossing it ? i dont think one single cross when it to Haaland until it was far too late, also again Pep and making his subs far to late

You know what, all the haters tonight blaming Foden need to look at the manager and it's Pep that played him and then bypassed him by hiding the play in midfield ? Pep setup doesn't attack enough to hurt teams. he wants control of the ball and then hides it by going side to side then back to the defenders.

Tonight, Pep knew this was over and waved the white flag and said to Arsenal well done on winning the title
Many have said earlier in the season that Pep just lets the games go far too easily and doesn't have anything to offer in the changes until it to late,

Also, what I saw coming from Haaland's mouth at the end is going to be a big problem in the dressing room ? He was not happy with Pep and his attacking setup. Haaland should be bagging a hatful of goals, but instead he's struggling to even have a clear-cut chance
 
Just shows how important Nico has become to us. Unbelievably slow and ponderous in possession with no urgency until last 10 mins. Just not acceptable.
 
Not that same team that used to dismantled opposition. Goals ain't there, especially at home. The odd game, a few games, but not at that level to win the league.
 
Lacklustre performance until Savinho came on. Nobody took responsibility to make things happen, everyone too content to turn back and recycle the ball and hope someone else does the magic.
 
Foden was poor again, but he loves the club, and this drop in form will be hurting him just as much us. He is still our second top scorer as well.

The ball had already left Rodri's foot and their player really only went for the ball. He's obviously going to hit Rodri's foot if Rodri already kicked the ball.

No pen for me. All that tells me is if you were a ref, you'd make biased decisions.

As much as I'd love a pen right there, it wasn't and I'd be fuming if it was given against us.

That first paragraph you wrote describes a foul hahaha. Their player went for the ball… missed the ball and caught Rodri who had already played the ball. It’s a foul, it’s late. It’s a stone wall penalty, just like if it was outside the box it would be a free kick

Erling in lazy mode and Phil in playing dog shit mode = 9 men.
Pep should have changed that way sooner.

Maybe Pep should be working on getting the ball into danger zones instead of passing it in midfield
 
Credit forest, great fighting spirit.

We were too passive. Some very sloppy passing. Foden should be coming off the bench with his form. Hes still not able to run the game, and that fukn hand bandage does my head in.

Any other game that haaland/seles incident is a penalty. But we all know we are playing 12 men most weeks, even more reason why we should be more careful with the ball.

Title still on, Arse will be twitching like fuck when we get down to 4/5 games. Although this feels like it is our last chance.
 
overall another disappointing draw - thats four now that should have been avoided with our first half leads.

thats said their xg was 0.7 or something - they hit extraordinary shots and finishes. we hardly gave them a kick otherwise.

we still need to work out where cherki is playing in this system but its not over yet, and rodri needs to be rotated with Nico G. we were in a great run when he got injured. foden is lost in central midfield and doesnt deserve to play any major games again this season.
 
the officiating this season has been all over the place, you see a penalty given for Utd which was clearly a dive, VAR have spent hours deliberating over decisions in other games, yet won’t even call a ref to look at 2 apparent penalties, if I was a fan of conspiracies, I’d say they clearly want Arsenal to win the league, but obviously that’s untrue because they clearly can’t communicate with each other!!
