I really thought we still had a chance to win the league, but this performance is really giving me doubts.

I give us about a 25% chance at this point. 0 chance we beat City at the Etihad

Maybe timber goal.

Gave it to merino but looked like he got a tiny touch at the end in the line.

3 goals for the first time in 2+ years.

I can't with this team. They never come up big when they need to.

2 pts in our last 3 PL games is disgraceful

This is not a title winning team. They all play too nervy when the going gets tough.

Three goals in three shots on target. Raya in a big game. fricking classic.

Less than .5 expected goals and concede 3. I mean Jesus Christ

We may blow it away at City again. Extremely depressing thought

This is our 3 game skid that will lose us the league. Seen it before.


At least we have the champions league. Just better hope we don’t draw a premier league side.

Which one of those should Raya have stopped? There’s a reason why the three goals came on 0.28 xG total from those three shots.

This game was lost on self-inflicted errors, mostly in midfield but our CBs also deserve some blame. And we still aren’t producing enough opportunities for our forwards.

We're going to walk away with nothing this year again, and I'm not sure where the team goes from there.

We've got a bunch of losers on the pitch that can't do anything when it matters.

Injuries and all that have been something to hide behind the last 2 years, but ultimately we've got a bunch of players that wilt when the pressure turns up.

We've played 8 games against the top 6 teams in the table and have gone: 2 Wins, 3 draws, 3 losses.


THREE FULL PL GAMES NOW WITHOUT AN OPEN PLAY GOAL

Zubimendi and Odegaard sure did pick a bad day to have their worst games.

Zubi just sucked and Odegaard played like a total pussy, minus two decent passes.

But give United credit for two incredible goals.

This Arsenal team needs someone who can take over a game and do something special.

Stop putting people in positions to score that aren't supposed to be there. Saka "holding width" is not a good strategy. All of our best scoring stretches are with White overlapping him. Instead we've got Timber playing where Saka should.

Arteta has got to do something differently. We've shown over the past 4 years that this style of play can't produce goals when we need it.

Utilize the middle of the pitch. First goal against Inter was a result of that. Even if you have to force it, at least give yourself a chance. Odegaard can't receive and turn between the lines. Any little bit of pressure and he turns around and holds it back to the CBs. It's time to move on from that style of play and him

This game made me dislike odegaard even more. I get his moment of magic every like 7 games but he's a passenger. Eze and Nwaneri can do the job. We've also been losing the midfield numbers battle without Calafiori. That is very concerning.

Dog shite game and We've made it hard for ourselves yet again.

Only positive news it that we've played the rest of the top 6 twice already with the exception of City and Chelsea

Who we play is of 0 consequence at this point. They just can't play scared all of the fricking time. Take your chances going forward and rely on the defense at the back. If you give up a few goals so be it, but you have to be brave going forward. The time for cautious play has passed, we've proved 3 years on the bounce it isn't working, DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

When you leave games up to randomness, which we do when we can't score reliably you lose games or draw them when you shouldnt
