This is just embarrassing. I see why we play 3 at the back so much. Our back four is getting ripped wide open right now.

Leno is trash. And typical Arsenal defending.

Really bad give away, without being under pressure, AMN caught sprinting up field, Somratis with horrific defending just sticking a leg out there. This is just pathetic. They really are pushing away any chance for Champions League. Very sad to see.

Well this sucks. Leno having a stinker.

Team needs a major overhaul. Just don't see it ever happening with this ownership.

Still think we can win Europa, but we will still struggle to get top 4 next season and will probably be right back in Europa.

So glad I skipped lunch so I could get my work done before this started.

Speaking of, I read earlier that ownership is limiting Emerys funding this summer, something around 40mill. Potentially 75mill if they get in Champions league.

It depends on if it's amortized or not. If it is amortized, you could buy one 40 mil player and only spend 10 mil on him the first year of his contract, spreading his bill over the length of his contract.

Still it's not much.

Also we are legit terrible. We need to rebuild this whole team. We need 3 or 4 CB's, honestly, at the minimum two wingers if not three, and a B2B player to replace Ramsey.

I'm also alarmed at how we never use the middle of the field. Our passing patterns we developed under Wenger completely disappeared within a year.

Entire backline is trash. Twice more this half the wing backs got caught out of position and the center backs left players unmarked. Fortunately the attacking players couldn't control the ball.

It was the same shite we saw under Wenger. The spacing is wrong, but at least we are pressing better. We need someone like Guardiola or Klopp to fix our spacing, honestly. Or a transcendental CB who can hold the defense by himself.

United losing to City and then beating Chelsea is best case scenario. Hopefully Spurs drop some points with Kane being out.
Situation still holds true. You can pretty much write off third. Need United to beat Chelsea and have to win out. Such a shite performance today though.

This is concerning. Kosc and monreal are at the end of their time. And we legit had one player on the pitch that is a threat to score and that was laca. Can't trust the others to consistently give you goals. No one on the bench either.

i have alot to say about most our players, alot is negative

but in the end they arent quality

not many teams on the top half of the table would start alot of our players.

couldnt sell them for anything significant if we tried except for laca and auba...

academy players arent breaking through the first team which is worrisome due to our aging squad

team lacks speed and dribblers amongst other things

amazing team is top 6 given what we have

I would be ecstatic if the Arse bought someone like Ruben Neves in the summer

I'm not giving up on them yet. Tomorrow will be a lot to ask. But we've pulled some shite out before.

Tottenham lost again, and if Manu could help us a bit with Chelsea we can be right back in it. No one seems to want this thing.

This is some top notch bottling by Arsenal. So close and it comes undone at the end of the season.

Should have just started the B squad once the official was assigned. Michael Oliver v. Arsenal

I have no words. Came out flat and conservative. We don’t deserve top 4. Sell half the squad and run it back next year.

what an embarrassment

keep on tanking, boys

honestly believe it will be worse next year and the foreseeable future unless we quit penny pinching in xfer market and start opening checkbooks

this team need a complete overhaul, one that im not confident they could do because of the xfer budget being so small
