It probably hasn’t been that long, but feels like we haven’t scored a goal off a corner in months.

We’ve had 8 corners today with nothing to show for it

I struggle to see how we’re going to score if not for a penalty or set piece.

We just have zero creativity in the middle. Every single team plays us the same now:

Sit back, double the wingers when they get the ball. Man mark the nearest midfielder. Only options you have from there is to recycle it back to the CB, play through the double team or cross it to no one because the CF is playing in the buildup

This team looks lost and confused on what to do in the final 3rd. It’s the same old possession and switch with no real purpose.

Both these substitutions are something. We’re chasing a goal and have Partey & White coming on, Timber & Odegaard off

fricking tragic

And just like that its 13 points.



They are going to end up winning the league by 20 points. We are not title challengers.

2 full 90s we’ve had 3 shots on target. We aren’t even scaring a goalie at this rate

If you don’t think we’re in a fight to make top 4, you are wrong. We can’t put one past anyone with this current group of attackers

We’ve scored 2 goals in our last 4 full games and they both came in 1 10 min stretch.

We’ve got 4 (2 PL & 2 CL) more games till MAYBE Martinelli comes back.

City/Chelsea/Newcastle are all 7-10 pts back, that’s just 3 or 4 game weeks at this rate. And we play one of them in 2 weeks

it was wishful thinking this team was ever going to catch liverpool

the thought process that liverpool was somehow going hit a rough patch in their schedule (which hasn’t happened nor will it) and at the same time arsenal winning out was just blind homerism

it was always a battle for second /top 4 since November

Well at least we didn't lose. Forest was our toughest remaining away game til we play away at Liverpool and have to give them a guard of honor

We did go unbeaten for 3.5 months since November, to be fair.

Nah, sign a striker and we could have 4 points instead of 1 from these two games. Maybe 6.


Plus we are still in the CL.



This is a total failure from the club.



Against west ham, you could argue we started 9 players Mikel would start in a champions league final. And west ham had Paqueta out. I’m not going to pretend I know their best team. But our best 9 vs their best 10, you should win.


I can’t look at this season other than a failure from Mikel and Edu and the board.

Unless the goal is just to finish top 4. Then they will most likely still get that. Even though I’m not sure where goals are coming from.

Up until this two game stretch we had the same points as Liverpool since then or something. I’ve heard the stat before but not sure when it starts, but we were keeping pace with Liverpool.

We drew and lost. They drew and won 2 in this stretch.

Basically we were in it at the beginning of January and still at the end of January.



We lose to Newcastle on 1/7 and by 1/25 Havertz was collapsing on the field.

We lose to Newcastle again on 2/5 and then Kai is out for the season.

Maybe Havertz really did make this team go.

We’ve looked like dog shite since he’s been out. We survived 2 months without Saka

Well I was thinking when we signed him I wanted an upgrade to Nketiah too.

So I guess technically he ends up being that. But we brought Kai in to replace Xhaka. Not Nketiah.

Nothing good to say or think lol. We really didn't play bad today, we just can't score and rightly so.

I was happy for a point today just because it is another point closer to top 4 which is what I am worried about at the moment with our attacking form.

Point isn’t bad against this team.

It’s just looking at our current situation and knowing there will be more games this season we score zero. Which means you can’t win those games.

Yea we just drew a top 4 team away, with a fricking CM playing forward and backups on the wings.

These next few weeks are going to suck so bad until Saka comes back, if he even comes back this campaign

I’m prepared to be disappointed in the summer recruitment again and do it all again next year, this is fun!
