We play Brighton at home in the league next....then by my rating I think we play 10 games where I really can’t see where a win comes from before we play Newcastle at home. That awkward combination of very good teams coming to the emirates and us going away to average teams. It is a run full of defeats and a few draws.
We really could find ourselves in the bottom 6

2-2 was just about to say we’ve had so many corners today about time we did something from them!

Mustafi is just all over the place.

All at sea

The board should mandate that the next player (or two) bought MUST be a central defender. I don't care if Messi says he wants to come for 1 pound a week and buys out his own contract.

Another symptom of no pace and no mobility is that players like chambers, mustafi, Sokratis, Xhaka and Guendouzi are walking yellow cards every game

It would seem that we can let it goals at any time, usually about 2 in a game. And Aubameyang can score goals.

Plus ca change ...

Chambers is a very poor player. No impact going forward. Shaky when defending.

If you think a Mustafi Luiz combo in the centre is good enough for the premiership do you have what it takes to be a manager?

Looks like Saka coming on next. Pépé must be wondering what's going on.

To be fair. It is only two days since he left. Not likely to be mega different with the current bunch of players.

£72m very well spent. Just what the squad needed. :8angers:

I think Aubameyang is our only player who can consistently connect properly with a football when striking at goal

I don’t think any combination of our CB are capable of defending properly. Each capable of conceding 2 goals vs anyone

I've never been impressed by him. Not sure why he hasn't been let go frankly.

These are the two worst we have.

We must have the most inept defensive unit on the planet ... Chambers , Kolasinac , Xhaka . Mustafi . Luiz .
They look vulnerable every time Norwich have the ball .

As I watch this with the feeling that it’s like watching two lower half of the table teams it strikes me that if this Arsenal side were in the Championship then they would really struggle to get promoted.

Decent point in the end but not really that impressed with Freddie's selections. Playing two clowns together at CB is asking for trouble and why give Martinelli only 5 mins at the end?

We have a defence that can't defend and defensive midfielder who can't defend either. So we have the worst of both worlds.....a dogshite defence with zero protection in front of them.

I had the same thought the other day. Put this team in the championship and they would get beaten away from home by a number of teams

Saliba has his work cut out! Some serious money - that we won’t have - needs to be spent in defensive positions. And we’ll almost certainly have to replace our two top class strikers in the next 12 months

Right now I would offer Brendon Rodgers any type of cheque he can’t refuse. Just keep offering numbers till he can’t say no.

This requires strong arrogant thinking and a maker of unfashionable difficult decisions. That is him. As an example Lacazette needs to be dropped, you can’t play the 2 of them let’s be honest. It’s always been an issue

We are all over the place because of poor decisions and shocking management

True ..... and while I said it would take Fred a few weeks to coach their negativity out of them I'm severly unimpressed he selected that shower of sh**t in the first place .

Surely the U23s must be better . We could easily have shipped another three goals in the second half

Totally outplayed by the bottom two clubs


Arsenal Women won 11 - 1 ... maybe they should swap divisions .

Can anyone who managed to watch the game tell us if there was any signs of improvement in any aspect?
The comms said the workrate and tempo seemed improved.

I used to think a good coach could take any back 4 and a pair of holding mids and turn them in to a functional, disciplined and hard to break down unit. I’m really not sure with the players we have. They lack so many of the basics and have had so long and show no sign of learning or improvement.
Gary Neville called Arsenal’s defence ‘uncoachable’ and its hard to argue
