Tomiyasu is struggling today

How can you have the whole week off and play with so little energy?

No central midfield. This is where Arteta has to change something

Every time we touch it they foul us. Every.single.time.

You notice Xhaka when he’s not there don’t you? Such an enigma.

Partey taking the piss with that freekick

Disrupt our momentum

Partey with 2 points for the conversion there.

Tomiyasu being taken to the cleaners

Tomiyasu is getting absolutely rinsed at the moment.

We’re saving ourselves for the second half. That’s what I keep telling myself.

Terrible performance

Emile Smith Rowe and Saka the only ones showing anything

Come on Arsenal, I'm sleepy enough already. Don't make me fall asleep.

Still nil nil and the first half hasn’t ended. Long way to go yet.

Commentator’s curse. They’ve picked up a lot since you posted that.

We’ve literally played for about 5 mins in that half, right at the end of the half

Well we are lucky to be nil nil. Can we improve and take advantage in the second half?

Well, the good news is we are still in the game after a dismal 1st half showing.

Not sure what we can do to change things. Maybe give Martinelli a go.

Ødegaard is a passenger. Not all his fault, he hasn't exactly seen a lot of the ball but he needs to find a way into this game.

Brighton's movement is so causing all sorts of problems. Only their wastefulness in front of goal has kept it at 0-0.

Next game is on the 18th Paddies Palace. We must get a win.

We should just start doing the same. No one’s getting pinged for it.

Luckily Trossard and that little *%^@ Maupay are wasting all their chances. Need Aubameyang to gamble more in the box and stick one in.

To be fair we havn't got near enough to foul them

we really struggled in that half and are lucky to be level. I feel this is where Arteta has to show he has the answers because it feels like our tactics werent right.

And still aren’t losing.

Smash n grab coming up maybe

Darts mate hit the board every single time.

They didn’t have an attempt on target in that half, so we weren’t that lucky.

TG.

Don’t be a wanker all your life. Have a day off

We've really been struggling with their press all game. Not sure what the answer is, but we need to give ourselves more time on the ball.

Is Partey Jensen reincarnated?

Partey. Cow’s arse. Banjo.

In these sorts of wet conditions I never understand why players aren't shooting along the ground rather than looking for the top corners

Ødegaard off, Pépé on

Lacazette for Aubameyang

Why do Brighton look so much sharper than us?

Sometimes with teams who are so well drilled at the press you just have to accept that you can't play through it and go a bit more direct

Ode not able to do anything today

That’s the question. We look sluggish

Aubameyang needs to be replaced. He looks knackered.

We're not looking any better than we did in the first half.

Arteta agrees.

I gave him a call
