Draw PL: Arsenal 0 - 0 Burnley | Sunday 23rd January | KO: 14:00 GMT |

Really bad performance last night. We need a strong reaction. We don't just need to beat this lot, we need to do it convincingly. A statement win, if you like.

But problem is even with Partey back, we're in a worse situation than we were a week ago. We are light in midfield (an understatement). Our only recognized CM is 22 year old from the Belgian league playing his first season in the league.

Let's not even talk about Arteta. Don't want his templars attacking me or sending me threats.

I think he'll go with the same Lineup today in Sunday.
This will be a twofer: Relegate Sean Dyche and get the three points.

Like I said, I reckon Mikel will stick with the same starting XI that played the pool game. It will be interesting to see how. Lokonga and ødegaard themselves physically in midfield against those club bouncers.

Predicted Lineup

 

[GDeep™]

Now Arteta fans are saying he needs 100m more to beat Nottingham Forest and Burnley

Can’t judge Arteta until they can clone R9 again.

Trust the process, it’s all the tea lady’s fault.

 

[2Smokeyy]

Liverpool might want to buy one or both of them to replace Salah and Mane when their leg are done though. Look at the potential they can bring.

Not sure, I can see Liverpool going for a big name as soon as Mane or Salah are done.

Many top players are willing to move to Liverpool right now.

 

[Arsenal1508]

We keep on losing the midfield battle every match.

Gone are the days of Diaby-Cesc-Nasri-Rosicky-Hleb. We'd dominate the midfield - possestion based football.

 

[sergio_giorgini]

No if we have them today we could've won easily even if one of Partey or xhaka we couldn't create in middle it was too dependable on wingers. The only thing i blame mikel for last 2 games he don't have plan b well i can see in whole his managerial he have one system

We had more than enough quality out there to today to be capable of turning over this Burnley side. Not only are they terribly out of form but not a single player has enough quality to get into our match day squad.

Results like this are on Arteta’s ****ty management skills and the players lack of application and mentality.

 

[SA Gunner]

Better Call Saul for me is better than Breaking Bad tbh.

Just stick with it, it’s slow at the beginning but it gets better as the show goes on.

Easily a 10/10.

Thanks mate.

Breaking Bad started similarly, very very slow. Started season one, took a break and then returned to season one two years later. But then I didnt look back, and you know the rest.

Looking forward to BCS now, as I havent had an experience like Breaking Bad since I finished it. For me, easily the greatest show to grace television.

 

[Anders Harbo]

Every attacker has been awful under Arteta. Even Saka is starting to look like that. Our best game in 3 years was with him out of the stadium.

Auba was World class under Arteta in his first season. Auba is done. It has got nothing to do with Arteta.

 

[UnitedBeard]

Not sure, I can see Liverpool going for a big name as soon as Mane or Salah are done.

Many top players are willing to move to Liverpool right now.

Do you think Liverpool will have the money to spend big though? Someone like Saka or Raphinha level will be the one they will go for and then they will try to develop them as they see great potential in them. Even someone like Saka and Raphinha level would cost 50m in today's market.

 

[A_G]

Maybe, but Auba’s not finishing those 32 crosses. Need an attacking strategy.

Auba could probably have helped, if he could score goals. It isn’t like he hasn’t had the chances. His been awful all season inspite of getting all the confidence in the World from Arteta.

Bet Auba scores the chance Laca missed

Don’t think Liverpool have the budgets for big signings. Think Klopp will have to find the next left field guy or try a kid. That’s why he likes Martinelli, would be perfect for his system, but we got him first for nothing.

 

[Legend14]

Saliba is not the problem. Guendouzi was an outright ****. Do you really want him here? Yes, we should have kept AMN.

We invested in Lakonga. Otherwise, why sign him if AMN is a better choice? I think they are both average regardless.

 

[Malky]

Im not even a fan of Edu but blaming him because we failed to beat Burnley, at ****ing home, with a starting 11 that should be more than capable of doing so? This is on Arteta for me. It was him that took the risk and rushed Partey back into the Pool game, or is everyone ignoring that so they don't have to blame this fraud of a manager? Sooner he's sacked the ****ing better.

 

[UpTheGunnerz]

Your first response was to call me buttman sir. But because I'm the bigger person, I will fund a shiny new safety helmet of your choosing that will make you the envy of all your friends just to show there's no hard feelings. How does a Superman helmet sound big guy?

Apologies for calling you buttman

We had but just can't finish. That difference between us and someone with top quality CF these games happen its frustrating as hell but it's clear the team will struggles without finishers and yes its on mikel and edu head to not acting quickly this month,

 

[Batman]

All we know about Guendouzi is that he’s Marseille captain and gets picked for France.

The guy was sent away for standing up for his teammate while Xhaka protected his NT teammate from Tierney after he put in several horror tackles against us. Arteta is a blight.

 

[Arsenal1508]

Holy **** - Burnley are bottom of the league - this is unforgivable from Arteta.

 

[HollandGooner]

Hopefully people realize we have a squad at top 6 or 7th 8th place at best thats it. we should not ask for more because we simply dont have the quality.

 

[yorch44]

Auba was World class under Arteta in his first season. Auba is done. It has got nothing to do with Arteta.

WC? That was with Emery. Suddenly Auba went from WC to pub league because the god off football left him?

 

[Batman]

Apologies for calling you buttman

Apology accepted. Time heals all wounds.

 

[Tourbillion]

I hate the club.

100%.

All the same characters are in BCS too, so I’m sure you’ll enjoy it too. I had little expectations at first but it actually blew me away. The likes of Tuco, Hector, Gus, Mike etc all appear in the show at different parts of the show.

I actually can’t wait for the next season.
