Martinelli extra-time winner. Brazilian on Argentine crime.

Yep, Hincapie plays way out of control. Game should be over

On the bright side, all of our boogey away fixtures outside of City are done for the season. Have to capitalize.

We have got to get some players back man. The Mosquera injury was a hammerblow

Yeah that last bit was on Hincapie.


How or why do you just run the ball out there? wtf was he thinking?

Hincape not smashing that ball down the pitch was so bad.

First half was shite, and really only the ten minutes from 45-55 did Arsenal look good. The press was great and pedal to the metal.

let’s see how they respond the rest of december

because i fully expect them to drop a few more results this month if they don’t start getting healthy in the back

i really hope it doesn’t turn into a classic arsenal stretch where they string together poor results

0 reason for Hincapie to let that ball get away from him at the end there. Led to a throw in and the chaos at the end.

It's not just on him either, just sloppy play all around.

We should win our next 3 games.

Bruge, wolves and Everton.


Then palace in the cup which at this point I’m not worried about. League is more important.

Everton away will be difficult if Saliba isn't back

Just sloppy the whole match. Poor effort against a good team at home. Don’t deserve to win, brutal way to toss 2 points away at the end.

Should have come away with a point but not a surprising result. Backline is in shambles. Just need to weather December.

Too often we let the other team get us into a game of Basketball. Our guys are way too gassed to play that way.

But yes, nothing having one of Saliba or Gabriel back there has been not great and you can tell. I really like Hincapie, but he's got to take it down a few notches when playing CB.

Could have easily booted that ball down the pitch or even give to Raya, but he took a horrible touch and they get a throw in out of it.

And Saka coming off basically killed any ability we had on offense. We desperately need to get Rice some rest. That guy is on his last leg

Would also be cool if we didn't let in a goal and not start playing till we're 1 down like every road game.

Thats Villa, Chelsea and Sunderland in a row where we have to come back. Hard to do on the road against quality teams

ETA: On reflection, I'm not that upset, end of the day we lost a point. We weren't winning that, missed our chance early in the 2nd half to take control

I mean I think we are in a game of basketball because our 2 world class center backs are out. Even against Sunderland our XG was like .5 or something. Chelsea and Villa are the anomalies.

Hope Arteta rotates for Brugge. Norgaard for Rice. Madueke for Saka. Gyokeres starting. Nwaneri starting. Gotta start Calafiori since he is suspended for the next game.

I'd even consider starting Salmon as insane as that could be. Or f it and play Norgaard at CB so Timber can rest

It's not really even that. We just get very spastic and start turning it over in dangerous places. A lot of it has to do with our midfield being absolutely gassed.

Zubi has played 417/450 minutes of 5 games in 13 days

Rice has played 433/450 of 5 games in 13 days

Odegaard is fresh off an injury

Merino has played basically all but 45 min today.

Just not sustainable, and you can see it with guys reaching for shite passes and sticking legs out instead of being in place for interceptions.

Also I'd be perfectly ok with rotating the entire 11 against Brugge. I do not care about that game at all.

We need to give some guys a rest

Kepa
White
Salmon
Hincapie
MLS
Norgaard
Eze
Nwaneri
Jesus
Gyokeres
Noni

Viktor was bad today too. I assume it's because he hasn't played much, but he spent more time on the ground than he did in the box

This is the sort of game Kai plays well in

ETA: merino was terrible too, and I know he's dead tired
