Why doesn’t Arteta put on Martinelli or Pépé. Too many favouritea.

Saha and Emile Smith Rowe very poor today

You can add Partey to that list.

Why doesn’t Arteta put on Martinelli or Pépé. Too many favouritea.

If I’m Pépé or Martinelli I thinking I don’t even get a chance when other players play shite. Not good management.

Because any Arsenal fan who has watched these 2 this season at the emirates knows they have been dire.

It’s a question nobody is asking anymore and is frankly boring

That way they can get an assist ?

Saka on heroin is better than martinelli.

Got it yet ?

Brighton drew here.

No it’s not, Saha and Emile Smith Rowe have been shite 2nd half. Is Arteta intent on playing the same eleven every game with no consequences if players play shite

Important to remember these took man it's apart at old Trafford. Arsenal are miles away from the finished article but we have chosen this path so need to expect slow progress with plenty of backward steps. I don't think Arteta is the right man but he should be given time.

Do *%^@ off top gun with your patronising and sarky comments. Don’t be a wanker all your life, have a day off.

You’re daft comments are frankly clueless and out of touch with how Arsenal fans feel.

Hope for your sake you don’t put that to the vote. Elneny has been rightly frozen out and is gone from the club at the end of the season when his contract is up. I think it’s a perfectly fine point to bring on players who might actually have a future at the club.

AMN was already on the pitch ?

Who else can he bring on to shore it up Pépé?

Pathetic.

Why is it pathetic? Obviously bringing on an attacker isn’t a move to shore it up.

Hmmm .... for Arse supporters I'd advice against throwing a noose over the rafters or contemplating disembowlment with the blunt bread knife .

Liverpool are a very good football team , many will point to them being beaten by West Ham , held by Brighton whoever but these sides are probably better organised than we are .

We are a very young side and have been getting some credible results of late but we are still a work in progress .

We keep picking up points against the majority of teams losing to Chelsea , Man City and Liverpool is not the end of the world .

…but we should have brought on martinelli in the 85th minute

Getting a better striker is priority. Aubameyang is past it.
If not for Ramsdale, we could have lost 7 or 8 nil. Pool cut through our midfield too easily. And our defensive shape was easily breached. The coaching team should use this game as a key learning video. No doubt Lokonga and Tavares aided too many of their attacks too.

Ode is still too lightweight to be our creative mid. Not someone I would want to depend on.

Ah well, not the end of the world for us. I think we can still aim for 4th.

The bottom line is that I don’t think Arteta is tactically up to it. Even when we are in trouble he is incapable of making a change in tactics. How we react from here is a real test of the team and manager.

This is my Dad, on the occasion of his last ever visit to Arsenal's home ground. From being a regular visitor to Highbury in the 40s and 50s during his RAF service, to frequent trips with me in the 70s and 80s from our home in Shrewsbury, he enjoyed all his trips and was an avid viewer on tv, and some might say an obsessive collector of newspaper articles which are held in scrap books dotted around the house. Thanks to him, I am and shall forever be, a fan of The Arsenal.
The picture was taken on 24th September 2011, when Dad was 86 years old. The result was Arsenal 3 - Bolton 0. Van Persie scored his 99th and 100th goals for the club, and also got involved in an altercation with a Bolton player (forget who). During that altercation, the whole ground got on their feet to chant "Arsenal, Arsenal, Arsenal", and Dad joined in with gusto. I'll never forget that.
On November 11th, Remembrance Day, Dad passed away peacefully in hospital with my sister holding his hand. As a WW2 veteran he chose the day of his passing well.
Watching Arsenal without his running commentary just won't be the same. I'm going to miss him greatly.

Theres no obvious omission from our starting 11 that fixes defeats like that right now. You can only moan about the manager so much. It’s not like messi is being ignored on the bench.

It is what it is and the fans that go week in week out largely understand our predicament and the ones that don’t moan about substitutions and nonsense. It’s quite hard to listen to but the divs and weirdos on the internet need to understand we ain’t sacking our manager right now if he’s in 5th position. We just don’t have enough options in the squad to change things.

So, if you aren't one of the 60,000 fans who go to games each week you can't understand the game or voice an opinion. What an absolute load of snobbish arrogant misguided bollocks.

You must have a problem with your education. Did I say anything about the starting line up. When we were overwhelmed he simply had no plan B. The same happened against Leicester. We had a great start and then we’re overwhelmed but our defence held firm. Change formation, move players around : swap Saka and SR or bring on Pépé. His persistence with Aubameyang in games like this is a real problem. As I said I will give him to the half way part of the season, but I know they will keep him on and from this position nothing less than a Europa place is good enough. Did you read the bit that says let’s see how we react from this. That’s when we will know if we are making the progress required.

The type of defeat which might halt our recent momentum. We look lightweight going forward

I am sorry for your loss. But it is wonderful that he lived such a great life and indeed picked his time to pass. He gave you Arsenal and a shared interest which is great.

Hi John,

Really sorry to hear your very sad news. He lived a long life, which is a small crumb of comfort at this difficult time.

My sincere condolences......Soc
