I think someone has backed Leno to have the most touches in the game

Arteta himself probably

Burnley are dreadful so we should be aiming to win by a few here

Same amount of losses as us.

Still expecting to win this one but ugh, no enjoyment.

Like a pre season friendly.

Does Willian not know how to use his left foot? Has played 5 passes woth the outside of his right foot that went to a Burnley player

Playing from the back just isn’t working
Willian and bellerin are like headless chickens
Xhaka and tierney are working much better



Mertesacker isn’t even watching the game he’s busy on the phone

I suppose we should be grateful he graced us with his presence and is not at a volleyball game over in Germany or something.

Bobby Baccala

Why the **** does willian get on the pitch

Pogue eile

Bellerin and Willian down the one side, what could possibly go wrong you ask!

Alfred Borden

Are we in a relegation battle?

DarraghF197

Jesus Willian is some waste of a space

Martinelli when

Thinks he’s Rosicky or something. What I’d do to have him out there.

I'm nearly expecting Willian to assist a Bellerin OG at this point

Xhaka dropping into the back 3 on the left works it gives Tierney and Saka the ability to push on. They are our only attacking option.

The right hand side is fcuked, Holding plays too many **** passes and Bellerin is awful, to be fair to Willian when he is on the ball Bellerin offers him nothing like what Tierney offers Saka.

Arteta is in serous **** if he gets no reaction at half time. Auba is playing like he’s just not happy at all

Germany is in lockdown, much like our strikers for the league games

Lol, id forgotten. Only thing stopping him id say. Tbh when the scouts at the club are more interested in their phone it paints a worrying picture.

Well there’s been no improvement lads. Arteta has to make early changes imo.
We’re not getting what he promised.

Watched this first half and my god we have nothing from midfield. They can't pass froward and seeing laca play as number 10 makes me wanna kill myself. Couldn't pass through a barn door

He might be tweeting Saliba.

Soups123

You can’t excuse Laca the two misses either, fluffing his lines is a constant now, he mis-hits more than he hits

Fans inside the stadium very quiet.

On the subject of centre-backs, our best chances have come from them. The Republic of Arsenal.

It’s sure looking that way

Yeah, we are heading that way. Arteta not capable of getting us out of the slide either.

Lacazette and Willian are going to get Arteta sacked. They are diabolical in this system/setup.

One stat from the first half - "Lacazette has not yet completed a pass to Aubameyang." haha, for fuck sake.

Is it a big leap to say Arteta has lost the players?
Theres 2 scenarios, either the players have all of a sudden gone to sh1t, cant cross, cant shoot and cant pass. Or else they're not doing it for the manager. Auba doesn't look like the 1st cousin of a player capable of scoring which is amazing.
Either they don't have it in them to spark a reaction or else they simply arent trying very hard for Arteta?

I know what I think...yes, he's lost them. Lost them a while back.

Said the same a few weeks ago.
Something wrong when the entire team turns to playing rubbish.

We could do worse than throw in Balogun and Azeez at this stage. Crying out for creativity.

If that's the case I'd gladly see Arteta play the U23s than let the players run the club.

That's kind of bullshìt really fūcking annoys me.

I'm thinking there could be some truth to this. I saw someone say that the fall off in our form coincided with the 25 man squad being named. Maybe the players weren't too happy with their pals being left out.

Quazzie

Also, would it kill the club to go out and buy a quieter pump FFS

I reckon dropping Ozil was the start of Artetas problems, at the end of the day most of the players are all good friends.

Jaysus. I’ve been trying to tune my tv for ages now.

Arteta hasn't lost the players. They're trying here. There's just too many of them on the pitch who are rubbish, lacking confidence or brutally out of form. Some are all three.

The modern day Vuvuzela

That is absolutely ridiculous.

Instead of passing to a clearly offside player, have a shot or something....anything but that.

I dunno, there's clearly a handful making no shape whatsoever and more annoyingly they are being picked every week regardless of how they are playing

Quazzie

There's something so wrong about Aubameyang cross into Tierney in a CF position. The total opposite of what should be happening.

That's it, Tierney. You show our good-for-nothing attackers what you're supposed to do when you get the ball in the box.

wonga77

Bit more promising start to this half, at least we've worked the keeper a bit

The non-negotiables were actually the players who would start no matter what

Bobby Baccala

Cmon Auba let a few more shots off

5star02707

Keep on attacking lads we're hitting the target atleast

wonga77

Tierney is a great bit of stuff, pity we don't have a player like him on the other side

Quazzie

Lacazette in the opposition D. The ball comes across low and hard, straight to him and he's unmarked.

He does a step over. What a cabbage.

I think he was aiming for Laca that time.

Xhaka carded, could be in trouble here..

Yeah, i was thinking this earlier.

When they stopped playing for Emery, I blamed Emery. But now they've done the same thing for Arteta, so they can all get out. I'd rather see the Europa league team battling relegation than this bunch of entitled buffoons thinking they're way better than they are.

Soups123

Xhaka should be fcuked out for that absolute stupidity

FixitFelix

Our players are retarded
