I like Ramsdale but agree with 100% on this. He isn’t playing well at all. Leno was clearly the better goalie today

Bad mistake by Zinny just holding onto the ball too long there at the end. You're up a man, just make the easy pass.

I hope this ends the Partey at RB experiment. Go back to White at RB and Gabriel in the middle. The team just doesn't look as good going forward with Partey on the right.

I'll give you this, Havertz has shot confidence. He was horrible today and still looks a little lost in possession. He needs to work that out.

At the same time, he doesn't have Zinchenko on that side holding the ball and giving him the ball. Gabriel would also help Havertz in the pressing game as him and Saliba are so good together.

I think we are coming to a divorce of Partey from RB and to the bench or Havertz will be benched. We can not play with Partey at RB against United, Rushford will fricking kill him. Just move Rice to 8 and Partey to 6 and bench Havertz for a game or two

Double agreement on that.

Atlientiger, I didn’t mean that they were just running out of clock or anything but if we had the ball the entire second half on their side of the field, they go down a man, to me we should not be defending much at all, and yet we were. They were not just counter attacking, it looked like we dropped back to me.

How else can they be attacking the whole time with a man down. We saw the opposite situation last week in a game we were dominating possession and suddenly we were defending the rest of the game. It has to work both ways. To me the only way a team a man down late should score is on a counter attack.

And why is he taking Odegaard off when game is still in play?

Dude just wants to be on his farm in Germany raising his donkeys. dont think he really has that inner drive to be a top player. in two years i imagine he'll be back in the buli, feeling good.

This is on point. It will depend on which Rashford shows up, but we could struggle.

Still not convinced Arteta is the manager to lead this club to major trophies.

Can't drop points like that. Especially with Man City refusing to lose constantly. It is what it is. Man Utd at home next! Massive game next Sunday!

Yesterday was certainly frustrating. I hope Arteta figures out how to make this team groove soon. Too much talent to not get a result. I do think we’ll see a great team, just hope it’s not too late.

On a more positive note, Vieira had a gem, and Eddie looks great. If they continue on form, can only result in good things.

And of course Xhaka scored an absolute banger for leverkusen.

I’m sorry, please come back.

On xG: Arsenal (3.01) 2-2 (0.46) Fulham


I saw some people trying to cope by saying the game last year our xg was lower and theirs was higher so we played better this game.

But I tend to think going down 1-0 in the first minute put it on Arsenal to really attack. And we got it back. So the ability to that that, or put us in positions to do that, is one positive.

But our defense is all wrong.

As soon as I sing Havertz's praises he has a bad game.

But Fabio Vieira looked amazing. And where the hell is ESR?

Once again we prove to lack the ruthlessness/kill them off mentality when the game is in our hands. These are the dropped points that lost us the title last year.

Given the role thar Havertz plays, it is hard for me to imagine that ESR can't play there too. At least ESR will drive at people with the ball.

I think I would take a healthy ESR over Havterz there.

Rumors that Chelsea are interested in him.
I agree I want to see him over Havertz but I hope Rice starts there with Partey in the 6 against United this weekend. Bring Gabriel back in with White at RB. Saka suffers when Ben White isn’t there to play combinations on that right wing.
