Spoiler: And look who we play next, ffs...

 

[Riou]

If we only subbed Olek off sooner v Liverpool, we might have ****housed a win there.

Then Zinny might not have got injured and would have been fit today, wouldn't have lost control of the midfield with him and picked nup another points here too.

Very annoying last few games.

 

[GoonerJeeves]

So what happened? I missed most of the game. One thing I noticed when we were 2-0 up was that there was no sense of urgency to kill the game off.

We basically fell apart once they got the 1-2 penalty goal. They took over the game. It was uncannily similar to the game at Anfield. Saka missed a penalty as well, which more or less summed up our day.

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

At 2-0 up I’m not terribly sure why Jesus was so deep in our half. We weren’t under much pressure it seemed kind of pointless.

 

[CaseUteinberger]

Title is done. Not because we aren't good enough. I would back us to beat City snd then **** up the next game.

Let's pray the team takes away the right learnings from this and goes 100% every game for +90 minutes!!!

 

[Malky]

We get arrogant when the game seems easy. Its not even naivety. I'm not putting it down to them being inexperienced. From a visibility likeable bunch they are obviously arrogant pricks behind the scenes.

You need to be arrogant to be a top level athlete, but when it impedes your performance on a consistent basis. What are you?

Team talk should have been to out there and make a statement. 2-0 after 10 mins. You carry on. Don't start stroking the ball about like you've won. Especially after ****ting the bed the previous week.

Pure arrogance is all it was. An hour left of a game at 2-0 is never comfortable, yet they’re playing like it’s over and it’s a training session. Teams with that mentality don’t deserve to be champions, a winning teams keeps up the pressure, keeps working and completely puts the game to bed. 4 or 5 nil with 5-10 mins left then you start passing it about with arrogance, not 2-0 with an hour left, away from home. ****ing idiots!

That was the passage of play where Tierney ended up at CF This teams need to be more serious

 

[Jack badmon]

Why did we throw away the cups again?

 

[Legend14]

Shocked to hear we drew this. West Ham is poor so no excuses. Watching now.

I feel this too. I can only think it's under Arteta's instruction though? Trying to manage the game a bit too cutely when there's still 70mins to play.

Ooh, so we could have been up 3-1 and a couple of minutes later, it’s 2-2!

 

[Tom Mix]

Why did Saka miss the penalty? Holding
Why did Partey attempt that stupid sombrero on Rice? Holding
Why can't Ramsdale save a penalty? Holding

The answer's always Holding for some.

 

[GLITCH]

We can't be having backup players vastly inferior to the starters next season. You don't notice it until you need them, but apart from Trossard, that bench didn't inspire any confidence in changing the game.

He's like a fish out of water in this inverted role. I mean you can blame Arteta for trying to make him an inverted LB but would you ever see Zinchenko drifting to CF? Part of me wonders if Jesus was dropping so deep because Tierney was horrible at trying to play in midfield.

 

[Rasmi]

In a way it’s good these two last collapse happened because it’s the managers tactics that we drop of after 2-0 and if he changes it saves us from future constant collapses.

Thing is, I don’t remember Tomi doing this when he played LB.

 

[Artemis]

Why did we throw away the cups again?

We had no choice. To maintain a title challenge against a corrupt doping team like City, we basically had to dump everything else.

Tbf it's working so far, we are still in the lead mid-April.

 

[Heavy Duty Rom]

Think it starts from Ødegaard to be honest. Holds on the ball way too long for my liking, often turns the wrong way. People kill Martinelli for that but Martin does it probably almost as often.

Blame the guy who made one and scored the other?

Its down to Arteta, we don't seem to have learned after what happened vs Liverpool. At 2-0, we still left Holding 1v1 vs Antonio. He should have just told White to stay back a little.

Tierney was still playing inverted even though it doesn't suit him, and it gives Bowen more space on the counter.

We lost it as a team.

 

[Blankety Blank]

Really disappointing to go 2 up & take the foot of the gas.
They get a soft pen.You run the risk if u slide in like that but still not convinced there was contact.
Then we get a pen imho If we score we win. Saka was poor tbh would've kept Nelli on & took him off.
Pressure got to us imho.

Having said that we still have a chance. Far from over but need all wins & a draw at City.

Aye, that was the sour thing.

I said it starts from him, the flicks and tricks. I'm not putting the entire blame on him. You rewatch the game and see how often he hogs the ball for too long. It's an area of his game that needs improvement. That doesn't mean he's the only one responsible but he's the captain, he sets the tone just like he does in a positive way with his pressing.
