With Chelsea having a lot of the possession outside our 18 yard box, don't understand why Aubameyang doesn't get told to stay on the halfway line. It would give us an out ball and would make them drop back a bit.

But then I don't really understand modern football.

I think he’s allowed to handle it no? Just not pick it up. I’ve seen keepers save back passes before, what are they supposed to do just let it go in the goal?

Kick or head it?


Yes we’ve dealt with this now.

We started off really brightly, got lucky with the goal and now its all hands to the pump. Not sure why we cant get out of our half.

Ashley Cole trying to blame Kepa’s position. 1. Good footballer. That’s it.

We did press really well in the moment before the goal. I think it’s when Zouma gets the ball, we’ve decided he’s less secure than the rest.

We're defending well enough, but Chelsea looks like they can be punished and we're not really finding a way to threaten them on the break. They're playing very high up the pitch, we need to use that space behind them

Think we need to get Pépé on to push them back and get some pace. Martinelli maybe

Where is Arteta the master tactician?

Looks like Tierney is crocked again.
Well he's hobbling on for now.

We play boring football. Arteta's brand is bland.

could have been a yellow for the studs to the knee of Tierney there

This has been a problem with Arsenal for ages, a complete inability to offer a credible counter attacking threat

Miles offside - why can the linesman not see that?

It may not stay that way however but you can’t say it hasn’t worked so far

It's a bit of a mystery with the players we have. Ødegaard, Saka, Partey can all hold onto the ball, Aubameyang and Smith-Rowe are good runners. Agree with Top Gun about putting Pépé on, let him do his thing in the final third.

We need to actually get into their final third first.

bellerin on for saka.
giroud on for them - feels a bit inevitable....

Bellerin for Saka.... I was sure it would be Tierney. Ominously, Giroud on for the Chavs.

70th minute, so far a tactical masterclass from Arteta. A classic rope a dope.

Wonder if he can pull it off.

Post subject:  Re: Supporters Forum
Hudson odoi has got a really unusual way of crossing the ball. Little to no backlift and and sort of clips it flat. He looks a really promising player, can’t really get a run for Chelsea though. They’ve got about 8 wingers.

Post subject:  Re: Supporters Forum
chelsea press high and then swarm all over us when they lose it, that swarm however does give opportunities to win cheap free kicks because of the over eagerness of Chelsea trying to win it back. They're relying on us panicking and kicking it back to them or overplaying, sometimes just waiting for them to come too close and engineering the foul is a good option

Be interesting to see Emile Smith Rowe’s stats - he’s been everywhere tonight.

very good from Partey then. for a moment it was vieira-like, knocking the ball over their head and then using his strength to hold them off and win the free kick

He's a little hard to nail down as a player for me - regularly has a few bad touches and misplaced passes, but he's one of those players where every game he plays things just seem to happen around him.

yep, that kind of inside left position suits him. Did very well there against spurs
