Scrappy start to the game not much happening so far.
And as I type an Iwobi volley is deflected in.
1-0 :21encouragement:

Huddersfield free kick chipped into the box, Leno comes for it and gets nowhere near. Fortunately an Arsenal head did.

Nasty stamp on Kolasinac about 2 feet from the lino - looked deliberate to me and should have been a red.

Winning but we just don’t look comfortable

We don’t seem to have much of a midfield

Huddersfield putting us under quite a bit of pressure. They haven't scored for several games but we're making them look dangerous.

Mkhi playing really well considering he's coming of a long lay off.

Huddersfield outbattling us at the start of the second half. We need to get hold of the ball and start to get a bit of control before something bad happens.

It's going to be 3 points, but an unconvincing performance, lack of coherence and too many misplaced passes. Poor.
And Huddersfield score - flicked home by Kolasinac by the looks of things.

Important win
But we were dire.
Just bloody knew we would let this shower score against us.
Can't even keep a clean sheet against Huddersfield!!
We make any crap team look half decent. Infuriating.
Win is a win but with top 4 looking tight we need to start keeping clean sheets as goal difference could be the decider.
If we don't concede that silly goal then our GD and utd would have been level pegging at 17.

We are piss poor, Kroenke has ruined this club and I doubt the damage he has done can be repaired by any manager on his budget.

We may have won that but my goodness we look so mediocre. Other teams will smash them to pieces.

When we got it to the edge of their box we just didn’t have a final ball and no players capable of beating a man.

Suarez has shown nothing yet and how on earth can you not keep a clean sheet againest that lot.

The lack of a proper serious goal threat from midfield positions really noticeable in some of our late counter attacks. The other top 5 teams have wide players or attacking mids who arefar more clinical and take those counter chances. We had so many chances to put the game to bed at 3-0.

We are still in a place where almost every position on the pitch is weak and needs new players to strengthen.
We know we need a back up gk in the summer
We know we will need back up RB and a new LB
The need for quality in central defence is not even in question
Wide left, wide right and attacking mid need strengthening and another body up front still required because Aubameyang and Lacazette can’t take the whole season

Lots of players missing today, Aubameyang, Özil, Ramsey, Xhaka, Bellerin, Sokratis, Holding, Welbeck. Im sure all of those bar Welbeck were part of our first choice 11 in the earlier part of the season

What the hell has happened to Brighton??? Nosediving down the table, they're looking like relegation favourites now.

You’d have to think Huddersfield and Fulham are going, neither really showing anything that makes you think they’ll get out of trouble. The final place could be any of 5/6 teams. I was sure it would be Cardiff butcredit to them they’ve pulled some results out recently

Guendouzi has completed 90 mins in 11 of our last 12 league games having only had 90 mins in 3 of the first 14 league games of the season.

He’s become a firm favourite of Emery’s. I thought he had a bit of a dip around Xmas (wasn’t the only one) but he’s been one of our best players since then.

Klopp’s Liverpool’s defence were a shambles, he hardly spent any money on it then suddenly dropped £140m on a top class CB and a Top GK. also had some huge improvement in a pair of full backs. However I still don’t see Klopp as someone who has suddenly found his mojo for coaching a tight defence. Much more like he has a general in defence who organises it all on the pitch for him. Wenger was very much the same - his best defences were when he had players (Adams and sol) who organised it all for him. Perhaps Emery is the same and needs that vocal, organiser back there. Kos has never been that, mustafi can’t organise himself let alone the rest of them, Sokratis- I’m not sure and holding probably takes a step back from more senior defenders. I suppose it goes back to the argument of arsenal lacking leaders - which is true all over the pitch still

I see Brighton have taken just six points from the last 33. Only Huddersfield can match that for sheer sh*teness. They have to be favourites to join Huddersfield and Fulham now. Pity, always had a soft spot for them. Incidentally, they have only conceded two goals more than Arsenal!

For me Guendouzi has been our player of the season so far. Think he's been more consistent than Torreira, who has been poor enough in some games for even Emery to call him inconsistent. I'd put him ahead of both Aubamayeng and Lacazette as well.

Wonder what Emery's thinking is with regards to our centre mid - play with two and rotate Xhaka, Guendouzi and Torreira? Or play with those three in the middle? Makes us more solid I think but they don't score enough... Aubameyang and Lacazette doing well on the scoring front, they are averaging a goal every league game between them (15 and 10 respectively with 26 games played) but we could do with more goals from our midfielders.

I think there were games when we played all 3 and you rarely saw any of them in the opposition box let alone provide any sort of goal threat. Considering in some of those games we were playing 5 at the back as well it leaves us really short of goal threat.

Given his age and no top flight experience I absolutely agree with you. He should be a shoe in for young player of the year, can’t think of any 19 year old doing what he is doing in the hardest place on the pitch for a young player to make the break through

Seeing plenty of times the other top 6 win games comfortably. Liverpool and Man U both 3-0 today, Chelsea 5-0 the other day. We are scraping 2-1 wins, that catches up with you sooner or later. We beat Fulham, Huddersfield and Cardiff all 2-1, 3 of the worst teams in the dictions and we are having to bust a gut for the full 90 mins.

I just hope Emery does have a plan in mind. And he is letting this season be his "test-bed", after the undefeated run, ran its course.
