Been a pretty shitty first half hour from Arsenal, figured they would concede. Kiwior should do better defending that cross there though.

Kiwior looks off. Almost seems afraid. They are getting tons of space on the wings. That equalizer was coming.

Could be a long day. Team doesn’t look up for it today.

Team has been soft for the past week. Sit back and let Fulham believe they can play. Players have not stepped up to the fight.

Odegaard having a bit of a stinker this match. Reall the entire team looks poor. Definitely down this match.

The lads need to nut up, ref is allowing lots of physical play.

I've noticed Kiwior is caught central a lot this match, he isn't providing any width.

The team came into it a bit toward the end of the half. Hopefully that is a trend we see to start the 2nd.

It's just all good stale at the moment. We really are in need of one of these attackers to step the frick up.

Kiwior didn't last long. He didn't seem up to it in that first half.

Players still laying too soft, need to get more physical, this ref is allowing loads of contact.

On current form, I struggle to think of how we are going to break Fulham down.

This shite is Southampton last season all over again where we dropped 4 critical points

Team is not tough enough physically or mentally. City and Liverpool have a different mentality. That comes from the manager being afraid to set the tone early on. Sit back, play soft, lose games as usual.

Raya LOL. Don't mess with success Arteta. Although the Gunners benefited greatly by the league being down last year. I mean even Man U finished 3rd. That's how bad it was. It's much tougher this year from 1-18.

I think you are completely wrong with your last bit there.

Arteta sets the tone early, it's why we come out flying every game. It's finishing that let's us down.


We control every single game so I don't think that is sitting back and playing soft at all

about time so of y’all come around, again, albeit much earlier than i expected

even when they were winning close games earlier in the season i still didn’t think they had chance to win the league

top 4 is still achievable

Martinelli bad again.

At this rate, I'm just happy we don't play a league game for another 3 weeks

Side note, I'm not sure how Nketiah is lasting here. He's been arse as is usually usual

Stats don’t win games. Possession with no purpose doesn’t win games. In the final third, we shut off and can’t break teams down. Playing soft is falling down at every touch begging for a call.

This team definitely needs a break/reset, too many guys are playing like arse.

4 points from 15 isn't good.

Like I said, I think this is City or Liverpool's to win.

Just fricking sucks. Realistically need to win 16 of the last 18 games to even have a chance. I don't think any of us see that happening.

I can't wait to get rid of dead beat injured players and actually have players that can be fit and help the team in positions of need.

We won on XG again.

1.85 - 1.41

We desperately need some finishing.
