Theo has been awful all year. Holding and Chambers have looked pretty solid so far. Good to see.

Even as an Arsenal fan, I can't stand Ospina. That guy has to have more "injuries" per minute played than any player in Europe.

Crazy that Arsene is finally using his full squad, yet we might finish even lower in the table, but can still win 4 trophies this season.

And do we have anyone else to take corners or free kicks other than elneny? Last 3 games he's started he's been taking corners, I just don't get it. I feel like you'd want him in the box.

I really wonder what he did to piss Wenger off. I don't know why he was dropped from the A team because he'd been very solid for us.


The only answer I have is how shitty his passing has been. His passing percentage has been the lowest on the team the last few pl games he played.

I'm as pumped about AMN breaking through as the next guy but wtf Wenger

imo if you insist on starting AMN, put him in midfield WHERE HIS BEST POSITION ACTUALLY IS, move Jack forward in place of Iwobi and put Kola in at LB

Sad to see some players in such a rough stretch of form. Koscielny pretty much trash lately. Iwobi in the final 3rd still is a waste. Bellerin this season is night and day compared to the level we have come to expect of him.

Sanchez is playing like crap. I have no idea why anyone would pay someone as petulant as that guy 400,000 pounds a week.

Dont want to seem reactionary, but Arsenal were completely outclassed that half. Defense still can't defend, it's truly amazing at this point how they never learn. Liverpool ran circles around our midfield. The midfield when they pick up the ball don't have any options going forward it seems. They lose the ball quickly, and are beaten to most 50-50's. Not sure if the system/formation is complete shite, people are playing in the incorrect positions, or if the players have mailed it in a bit for this match.

It's basically all boils down to having no structure or discipline tactically. It won't change until Arsene leaves.

It's really tough to watch. I'm not really having fun watching them right now, because it's the same old problems time after time. You want, and hope for a change, but in your heart you know by now it will never happen with Wenger in charge.

Midfield loses the ball far too easily yet again, gets beaten tracking back, defense can't even close down 1 guy, and they get their 2nd. Just pathetic at this point.

eta: keeping the above regardless, since its fundamental mistakes, but at least the boys are playing hard.

Great response with that goal right after their 2nd, hopefully it gives them a spark.

Now the equalizer on a long range shot from Xhaka! Luck on our side right now.

So does Alexis decide to play now because his stock is plummeting?

Why can't they do this for 90 minutes? :banged:They can be amazing at times.

The fun factor is back! Such an enjoyable half so far.

Was this some sort of rope-a-dope? Let liverpool wear themselves out then knock them out?

Exactly! You see what the midfield is capable of, and yet they looked downright dreadful the first 45. I simply don't understand it. Makes no sense.
