Think it's just Rustiness from Timber, and he hasn't really played much with Konsa

Also, Bruno G a bit of a liability defensively

But like see that again. Why is that timber the furthest guy forward.


When both he and califiori are roaming around that leaves us exposed or you got to drop a midfielder further back.


I mean frick look at Rice and Odegaard with Timber forward. Like this shite is pissing me off. What is this crap?

This isn't me poo-pooing on Timber, but why is he the furthest man forward so often? Surely your right back being your leading line isn't a good thing?

He's running through the middle on Bayern's centerback now, but even earlier he's been found even with the Striker.

Lol, that is why I wanted one of those guys getting the box instead.

To go on the road to Munich and get a draw, I'll take it! Especially after having Saka go down with an injury so early, that had to play on the minds of the players. I wanted a win considering they didn't have Olise or Kimmich, but the squad looked better than they have recently. Some moments in attack. Lots to clean up both going forward and in the back, but solid performance all around.

I don't want to say that the injury has a silver lining because we don't need more injuries. But Eze did get the goal and I thought Odegaard had a couple of corners we could have/should have scored from.

That might look a bit differently had Saka not had to be subbed.

Is there any word on Tsolis recovery?

No way can they put out Eze and Noni match in match out, they won't hold up. Will need some Tsolis and Dowman.

Also worried about the minutes for Calafiori with Hincapie down.

Eze had 3 good dribbles around the box. Arsenal had 3 threatening corners I can remember, maybe I'm missing another.

Will need both to continue, Eze creating something is big, and getting set piece goals will be needed now more than ever.

Oh man we’re back to the traditional arsenal I know, constantly struggling with injuries / depth.

I bet we recall Nwaneri from Dortmund in January.

This is a random observation but I think this may be the most XG an Arteta team has allowed in like 3 or 4 years


Immediate fact check:

Aston Villa 2025 at home allowed 3.57 XG
Liverpool 2023 away allowed 3.97 XG

Reading comprehension failed you there it seems. Nowhere in that post is it implied he didn't. In response to the Eze and set piece remark I recalled those highlights.

Be kind to our board elders. Six decades of partying and chasing tail catches up to us eventually.

Solid draw. Neuer saving Bruno's header was absurd. 2-2 is a fair result. Saka getting on a non-contact injury had me screaming at the time.

Madueke time to shine on the right. Need Gyokeres to get going also. Goals need to start flowing.
