Very frustrating. I understand not having Auba, and Sheffield is very tidy in defense, but Arsenal has got to create more chances.

Defense is what it is sadly, still completely inept. They simply don't mark or close down players. Luiz clueless on one corner, not marking a man or jumping for the header.

It feels like we are right on the cusp of going on a run of good results. Just a bit more focus defensively and some more production going forward. There are positive signs but we need to push on and get a run of positive results.

The shape and organization is definitely better, but the team still looks very much like a side outside the top 5.

Our biggest problem right now is goals. Ozil never scores or assists these days although he's been decent since Arteta came in. Laca is in awful form right now too. Auba needs starts in the middle. I think Pepe is getting better and had good moments today. Gabby is a goal threat. Gabby at LW, Auba at ST, and Pepe at RW is the way to go right now. Imagine if we still had Ramsey to play the #10 role right now. We would be much more dangerous. This summer we need a quality CB and quality CAM the most.

Reiss Nelson pulled his hamstring in training before the match Saturday. He's going to be out for awhile. Should get an extended run of Pepe on the right.

How are we liking Laca up top and Martinelli wide left?

Laca has a high work rate, he comes back to defend and win the ball back, but his goal scoring is at an all time low.

Mustafi and Luiz are worrisome, but what can you do.

Saka isn't looking too hot right now, definitely nowhere near how well he played last match.

Well boys, I might turn it off, red card is the icing. It will only upset me even more. Holding seen warming up, why is Mustafi ever considered? Guy is complete shite.

Mustafi should never play again. Get him the hell out of the club. It's ridiculous. Ozil cant impact the game and Laca's form is horrendous.

Mustafi and Luiz need to not see the pitch in the starting XI.

Definitely need to figure out what to do with Ozil and Laca. They simply can't get anything done offensively.

Luiz


Has been solid since Arteta took over. It was a bad decision to get the red but he wouldn't have even been in that position if Mustafi doesnt go full off the reservation. Arteta being let down his players.



Mustafi has to go down as possibly the worst signing in Arsenal's history. 35 mill euros for that walking disaster.

Change managers and still getting the same results, costly mistakes, and misfortunes

Klopp couldn’t win with these clowns

We all knew it at the start of the campaign, with the Defenders at their disposal it was going to be an uphill battle to get results.

Holding subbed on right after Mustafi let Barkley in free on goal for an open header. Why didn't Arteta sub off Mustafi?
