The art of conceding comedy goals.....by Arsenal FC.

So very annoying watching it happen over and over again.

A real curate’s egg of a team.

And Xhaka should be nowhere near part of our moving forward.

I mean we are 2-1 down in a game where we have dominated possession but look like conceding every time we lose the ball because our defence is about a useful as a chocolate teapot.

Might as well have stuck with Wenger.

Others may disagree but I thought Guendouzi and Aubameyang were our best players in that half.

Great goal by Lacazette, who was having a poor match. The front three look good on paper but they are not a cohesive unit at all yet. Only half the team are playing to a decent level.

Xhaka is captain of Arsenal FC

Why did Emery not put priority into getting a top central defender? It is so clear we are very weak there. Luiz is a knee jerk buy, and not a solid one at that.

Torreira and Kolasinac too. I think everyone was worried about Kola but he's been fine.

Son keeps standing in front of the ball when we get a free kick- not a word from the ref.

Why is that shove from Rose not a penalty?

No expectation of it being given, but it is a foul.

Close, and close again. Agonising.

Instant impact from Ceballos. Dangerous and creative.

Have they switched off VAR or did they decide before the game not to use it?

Has Sokratis been having lessons in how to be stupid from Xhaka?

That idiotic tackle for the penalty looks like it's going to cost us the win :36angers:

A kind of a relief to realise that it wasn’t a second yellow.

A good fightback but 2 points chucked away in the first half with brain dead defending. Very frustrating.

Good result

2 points ahead of united, chelsea and spurs having had difficult games at Anfield, st James park and the north London derby.

Our solid start continues

Solid isn’t a word that comes readily to my mind when watching our displays.

Guendouzi my MOTM.

Ceballos added some much needed creativity and composure when he came on.

Pépé looks like he could be a worldbeater......if he can get that final finish or pass right.
