Why the frick didn’t we buy or get a loaned midfielder the last window I will never know. One injury to Partey and we are completely fricked.

Tierney is our highest rated player like a 90 or something i saw on some website. Send his arse to tuscaloosa so they can pump him full of HGH or something.

It doesn't matter if Tierney is a 90 or 100, when he only plays 50% of games for 3 straight seasons, it is a huge problem

Words can't describe how big the game this weekend is.

Win and the season can still be salvaged. Thankfully, everyone right below us lost last week just like us (Wolves, Man United, West Ham).

Europa league looks quite promising for us at the moment to be honest, but we all want Champions League which is looking brutal at the moment.

Spurs have a very easy schedule and even if we manage to beat them we need to make up this massive Goal Differential they keep increasing each week. I mean the past two weeks they have been +8 and we have been -4. Not ideal.

Good result this morning. All to play for against Southampton this morning.

That said I was a little sad to see Tavares back at left back, and Nketiah up top. Kinda hoped Martinelli was up top and Pepe out wide, or even ESR.

Early on Odegaard not looking sharp, same with Xhaka. Arteta has Martinelli out wide right and Saka out on the left. When they went on that great run a while back it was the opposite. Maybe Arteta realized the attack was stagnant and looking like complete shite lately and tried changing things up?

Dominated possession yet again, but really nothing of substance on attack. Had one very good chance from Saka from close. Then concede right before half.

I’m starting to lose it. We need a better manager.

I guess he will bring on Pepe and ESR for Martinelli and... Nketiah/Saka? I figure Martinelli gets subbed early, but he will probably wait till after the 70th for the 2nd sub.

That was pathetic. Just slide that ball across goal. They weren’t man marking all of our players.

The attack needs some serious rework, these last 3 matches have been very tough to watch

Need to get a draw today at least, that way no ground lost on United and Spurs.

Brought on ESR and Pepe for Cedric and Tavares. Literally no excuses now to not score. If anything they have more of an excuse to get caught on the counter now.

This is the gap between Arsenal and the top 4. Chelsea made this team look silly last week. Arsenal struggling to create anything.

No point getting into the CL if you don’t have a CL team.

How is Odegaard your captain? Also, he's scuffed 2 great chances the last 2 matches.

If Arsenal can't score despite going all out attack then there is a colossal issue and I am not sure how Arteta can even begin to address it.

This is depressing watching this side on attack lately

Need to beat Spurs to have any hope for top 4 it seems, along with having them drop another and that is not a promising prospect.

Same old Arsenal. Good but not great manager, scrambly defense, and no striker. Might as well bring Wenger, Koscielny, and Giroud.

yup

i means it was nice that this team was able to pull off Ws against weaker competition prior to this 3 game losing streak but never really got the impression that they turned the corner in their play knowing they had the meat of the schedule still to be played (and it still gets harder from here)

top 4 is out of the question, just hope they can make the euros at this point, but not sure that would be a good thing based off the fragility of the team and lack of any quality subs

and how arteta won motm four times this season is undoubtedly one of the biggest mysteries this year

Young manager, young team, dealing with lots of injuries. Don’t think these things are the same.

I’m going to keep saying this and I like lacas work ethic. We bought him to replace giroud. Such a fricking mistake.

Yeah giroud was no Henry but Laca is no giroud.
