We’re really not urgent enough to the counter attacking opportunities. Too slow and too slack.
Leeds give you so many chances

I know it’s been said many times, but this waiting to raise an offside flag is not only ridiculous, it’s also dangerous.

Raiphinha could have been hurt badly by that Cédric tackle.

Time to stop the experiment

Yes but then you can give Harry Kane penalties against Arsenal for being fouled when he’s offside. Remember that!!??

Nuts isn’t it. Like many of these new law interpretations.

Yes

Nuts

Gabriel is truly quick. Very useful. And he’s good at forcing a foul on him.

Whether it is directly because of him or not we’ve looked more secure since Elneny came on. Good sub because the chances on the counter attack were always going to be there....

Best of two options imo or would you prefer a goal being chalked off and then being offered a dropped ball?

4-2 entering 90 mins. I’ve switched from Newcastle memories to Harry Redknapp’s first Tottenham game instead.

If the flag goes up straightaway it doesn’t usually follow that a goal is scored though

Difficult night for gunfire, Socrates and Gaz

My gut tells me your time will come this week againest benfica when a difficult tie could bring the sheer misery you lust for. Hang in there lads

Totally different to our one. Cédric got his body between man and ball, he’s not obligated to get out of the way.
On our own the Leeds player just pushed Saka over. Without the defender touching Saka he gets the ball. Running at that pace the slightest touch will send you over. It’s a terrible over turn of a penalty especially when you compare it to the slightest of touches which have resulted in penalties this season so far - including against us

So, why hasn’t the final whistle gone then?

Flip me but Willian is getting right on my not insignificant manboobs.

He just stands too far away from the man he’s trying to tackle and they always get past him.

I know some on here support him, but he is doing absolutely f all to earn his place, even as sub.

Mystifying.

Surely that’s a red? Studs up nowhere near the ball?

Who supports him? Do they? Wow.

His mum and dad are lurkers on the forum...

Bad choice of words maybe - are more patient than me.

We’re top (half) of the league!!
Top (half) of the league!
We are a-maze-ing, top (half) of the league!!

Well a good win and an Aubameyang hat trick.

I’d have settled for that result beforehand.

Very good result as Leeds are an honest team in that they just didn't give up, even at 4 nil down.

Was very worried about this game.
Genuinely wasn't sure we would win so delighted we held on for the win.
4 0 after 47 minutes!!! Never!!!!
Bit nervy but held on.
Why the hell is he not playing martinelli??? But happy to give bloody Willian minutes.
Does he not fancy him??
Martinelli is the future.
Willian is not!!

Typical Leeds game. Was important that we took the chances that they give every team.
Switched off at 4-0 but got composure back at 4-2 and we really should have scored more with Aubameyang hitting the post and not making enough of some good counter attacks.

Still uneasy about Arteta man management.
Apart from Saka and Emile Smith Rowe his treatment of Saliba Guendouzi and Balogun is questionable.......would hate to lose this young talent.
Amazed he still positive that Balogun will stay. No chance as he is not even getting on the bench

A) *%^@ apart from saliba

B) we won

C) your close to the “I’m mental” list

We need to work out how to get Aubameyang doing that more. Aubameyang is not striker who has lots of touches of the ball, you have to get it to him in the right areas and he’ll do the rest. Vardy would be a similar striker in that respect.
If you create a group of players around him who are sharp, quick and incisive you could easily create those circumstances for Aubameyang.

TG, stop being a wanker all your life.....have a day off.

Whilst creaming over Arteta's managerial genius I assume you failed to notice we did our best to throw away a 4-0 lead again. Imagine if Arteta had done something really really stupid like bringing on Willian ahead of Martinelli or Pépé.

I’ve watched Arsenal go through worse days than this my friend. I’ve sat through our darkest European finals

You can’t even enjoy a 4 goal win. I’m on the fence about our manager who’s probably on a hiding to nothing because of our mental transfer policy over the last decade.

This doesn’t alleviate the weirdness of our fans violently masturbating every time we lose. Or actually actually it doesn’t even take that any more

Rumours of another year contract extension for Luiz.

I think it all comes down to how much money we have to spend this summer and what our targets in other positions cost. If for example we only have £20m to spend then I’d give Luiz another year and spend that £20m on a central midfielder

I know he scored today but I do think we need a better right back than Bellerin. His final cross, pass, touch, shot often loses us some very good positions, and he can struggle against good movement and pace - notice how he’s got a lot more yellow cards this season.
In modern football a top team needs to have their full backs with as good technique as wingers and midfielders.
I realise Bellerin has come back from a big injury and he has done well to be back at this level and stay injury free, it’s also clear he loves the club and gives his all but if someone came in with £25m for him in the summer I think we could upgrade for that kind of money

Shows how frustrating the losses at Wolves and Villa were because win both of those and we’d be sitting in 4th right now.
I think top 4 is a pipe dream, not because 6 points is insurmountable but because of the number of teams ahead of us.
The way the league is this year if you go on a short burst of form you shoot up the table, or down if you lose a few. Southampton were right up in the top 6, they’ve lost 6 in a row and now sit 13th

It's a forum
It's called having an opinion
Chill.

Bernard does have a point. What exactly would the motive be for this systematic anti-Arsenal bias? Have we offended George Soros or Hillary Clinton, maybe?

The decision gets given every day of the week if its not arsenal.

Watch it again

Saka is shaking his head as the ref walks to the monitor. It’s another diabolical decision

We don’t get anything out the refs.

Next time try saying.

"It is so awful .. too many young kids on the field ... out of form Aubameyang shouldn't be selected ... OMG Willian!!! etc etc etc."

I also struggle to remember games. Can't say the weather comes into it, though.

Perhaps if you moved to Greenland or Antarctica it would help? They never have perfect weather there.

Was it just me or when the tv viewers got the repeats of the first Saka penalty we saw an angle that showed foot on foot contact. Then that angle was not shown as the ref watched the replay on his var pitch side monitor?
Of course the var directive of only over turning or correcting clear and obvious errors went out the window a long time ago as well.

Oh yeah the Kiwi girl mentioned on here a few years ago. She was a cutie apparently.
Sorry.....
