I’ve been 30 minutes and still haven’t scored !! WHY

Of course the premier league is about the first goal. Solid start, if they keep this up it’s coming

Totally agree. This is years and years of bad squad building.

Until this summer we spent millions trying to plug holes in the first team for a short term fix.

There were too many Mhikitaryans and not enough martinellis

Another example of a player who is given the benefit of the doubt when on a yellow against us. I'm not saying Partey deserved any benefit of the doubt midweek as it was a very poor tackle but there have been plenty of occasions when we dont get that final warning as other teams do.

This is poor.

Burnley are obviously aware that we played in midweek and they've been resting since sometime in mid-September, they're pressing quite hard. Hopefully we have something left in the tank for the second half, long rest after this game with the international break.

We need to get the ball out to Saka and martinelli more quickly. Too much sideways and backwards passing at too slow a pace.

Burnley did this same tactic to us and poached a late winner.

Arsenal have accounted for 11% of all prem red cards over the last 3 years

Crosses into the box in the air aren't finding anyone. Saka has his man in his pocket. Martinelli is being doubled up on. They are more fearful of him. We having a few of us in the box with sublime through balls is causing them problems or the Saka pull backs.

We gotta do something though. Burnley is happy soaking it all up. Had they had better quality they might have nicked one already.

Crosses are a waste of time in our system.

Never enough men in the box and no one powerful in the air.

We might be able to get a penalty if not a shot on goal if we play it through the middle into the box to one of the players' feet.

Upping the tempo a little bit now

Xhaka not playing today so we should be able to finish with 11 men still on the pitch.

Lacazette misses a winning goal every week I’m
Sorry to say

We keep going at them, they won't be able to withstand forever

Mother of God!

Lacazette golden chance squandered

Not as sharp as he used to be

Saka took too long

Any chance of a yellow card for time wasting before the last couple of minutes?

He sure does - A few others with some notable misses too.

This really is not what a team going for 4th should be looking like.

Emile Smith Rowe off - Nketiah on.

We're better off drilling crosses in on ground rather than air.

This will be a massive 2 points dropped. For me if we don't win this you can put it squarely down to the lack of depth and quality in the squad together with the lack of signings this window........we should also look at the stupid pair of Xhaka and Partey who got themselves suspended for this game

We have no strikers and no midfielders.

Hmmm - Might check how that Vlahović deal is coming along...

I know it isn't gonna happen though ......

Needs to be a lot of added time for all the time wasting seeing as he’s booked no one.

Wow, how have Liverpool been given that penalty. Utterly awful decision. Incompetent refs up and down the country every game

No yellow card for that ????????

4 minutes to nab 3 points

What is it with refs ignoring time wasting - only 4 minutes of added time.

Not good enough really, even considering the circumstances. The point that we don't win when we don't play well still stands. Our top 4 challenge isn't dead, but this makes it more difficult than it needs to be.

Dreadful performance.

Really big 2 points dropped. Desperate for new players in to this team. Was sad watching Villa v Everton yesterday and realising there were 3 strikers on the pitch better than what we have.

We did it to ourselves. Started too slowly with too many sideways and backwards passes. Why can't we just seize the initiative as we did against City? We could have scare them from the onset. Instead, we allowed them to tactically paralyse us. Arteta's passive tactics again lost us easy points.

Not really. It just didn’t work today

Lacazette is useless for us. Nketiah no better. What are we waiting for? Get the striker in now.
