Not the point though as they should all be good ones otherwise scrap it or scrap the incompetent refs.

And I was one of the first supporters calling for it from the start.....

Will Lacazette be happy?

Possibly another of my controversial points but shouldn't Aubameyang commit himself to the team or *%^@ off? Lacazette should be getting regular starts if he is thinking of going or we'll lose him as well.

Never mind whether players like it or not, we should be selecting the most effective XI. Personally I don't think playing both Aubameyang and Lacazette really works, and of the two Aubameyang is the best bet through the middle.

Well that didn’t take long

Off to a great start, then

Don’t expect to win this but I expect a better start.
Our defence just looks terrible

Kolasinac ducked.

Did Kola duck on that one?

11 out of 17 games we’ve conceded the first goal so far this season

Sure did.

And that after a game where we conceded deflected goals due to players turning their backs.

Knife. Butter. 0-2.

0-2

If we keep them under 5 goals, I'll consider it a massive achievement.

This is embarrassing and it could get humiliating

3-2 Arsenal win today.

We press from their box and they pass through us so easily.

Too easy for them

See City’s tactical fouling to stop any counter attack. 7 fouls already, we’ve only conceded 1 foul. We pressed high but 1 pass took out most of our team. The press has to be effective and if you can’t then you have to foul

Don't expect that to change as long as Mertesacker is part of the coaching setup. He made turning his back an art form.

Some of our players go down so easily. It’s not even smart to make sure they win the free kick. Guendouzi, torriera and Pépé go down way too easily

and flapping around the the penalty area like lovesick seal for the second .

Don’t let Bernard hear you say that

Don't worry chaps if can keep it to 2-0 we must be the second half form team.

3-2 to us

Even more embarrassing when you watch the replay .... shocking . Not going to progress with an attitude like that .

When you’re down you keep getting dumped on. Tierney our for 3 months now a really bad tackle on kolasinac means he’s going to have to come off and it looks like Saka is going to come on and play left-back up against Sterling.

Oh no, an unproven left back in Saka

Holy crap. 0-3. More knife through butter.

I'm watching this instead.

A few stark realities on show for all to see today.

Rightly pointed out, why take so long to put in the substitute? We are slow to attack, and just as slow to substitute. Just no urgency in us.

Guendouzi is having an absolute nightmare.

A ray of hope is that even Silent Stan can't ignore this any longer. Right now it's to hellwithwell meaning waffle about Arsenal DNA. Just get a manager who can organise a defence.

Wake up, check score. Ahem. Expecting 7-0 by the morning. Arsenal back into a relegation battle. More importantly, off back to sleep.

Headhunt Simeone. Pay the man.

What's left to say, this is a nightmare.

This match was never going to be seriously contested. This is one of those matches you forget immediately after, and not let it affect the short term strategy of what Freddie is trying to do. You have to look at this match the same as Real Madrid or Juve or PSG coming in for a match. You do the best you can, if it goes sideways, you forget it about right after the whistle as if it never happened.

Yeah if it carries on like this it will be 7 or 8 nil. Need something to break for us and players to rise to the challenge far more. If we’re lucky it could be as good as 5-2!

The gulf in class between our players and their players is just way too much. Not just in skill but in attitude as well.

The commentator remarked upon the difference between De Bruyne and Özil and it is there for all to see. I'd take Özil off and put an extra midfielder in there and try to stifle City a bit.

We've got no defence and to be fair the fullbacks are receiving little protection.

Guendouzi's defensive shortcomings are being ruthlessly exposed.

It really is a sad state of affairs.

Seem to recall a mauling by City towards the end of Barnacle Wenger's groundhog demise when they took the foot off the gas after getting a big lead. I was convinced that Guardiola told them to take it easy out of pity for Wenger. Don't expect them to show any such mercy this second half.
