The final 10 minutes of the half are what we've seen from Arsenal lately. Where they completely forget how to play. Lucky to not concede.

The passes in transition and the attacking third are so bad. Guys not finding feet when they aren't even under pressure.

The intent is there but our execution is horrible.

Both sides look bad this half. I guess that is advantage Arsenal.

Sporting defenders might be getting tired. They are making bad pass after bad pass and getting run past by dribblers.

I've had it with the midfield. They all play so damn scared. This is zero fun to watch these days.

Turn and take the space, stop going backwards as your first decision

The last two games he's been horrid with the ball.


The thought was Ramsdale was worse, so we didn't pass it back to him as much. Going back to raya costs us against Bournemouth. We won the ball in their half and went back to Raya, Bournemouth then wins it from us, attacks and scores. Our players are too comfortable going back to Raya. It's a crutch.

35% possession this half...

I'm not sure I've seen Rice involved in the 2nd at all

Raya, Zubimendi with the bulk of the ball, then attackers turning it over going forward

Some passengers in the midfield today. They have space too. Don't get it.

Everything we do around the box is just crap.

I truly think they are just scared to go forward and lose the ball. There's no way Arteta can be coaching them up to go backwards 99% of the time.

The ones that have been trying to dribble are just terrible today. Like someone said, the execution today is as bad as it gets.

It has been everything. The header there off the post, the free kicks, the corners, all been shite.

Madueke shooting, hincapie leaving that ball for no one to run onto. Its literally been everything.



And again, what the frick was that? On the break and cross it right into their player.


And again with that corner. Holy shite.

Sporting are tired, but arsenal are such arse in transition its comical.

Rice has been a shell this 2nd half.

Trossard didn't shoot at goal when the keeper was way off his line, nor did he take it corner flag. Instead dribbled straight into the only defender.

Well I didn't get to watch. Glad we're through.

Looks like more of the same offensively. Can't produce anything in great quantity.

Sunday is scary. Only reason it worked today is because Sporting were more wasteful than Arsenal.
