We won't finish top 4 we can't get into any momentum we throw lead easily and can't finish game off where needed
I really don’t see how the Auba red is debatable. That’s as clear a red card as you can get, luckily the palace player didn’t break his ankle..

Tbh don't really give a **** anyway, we're not getting top 4 in the league unless the stars align. It's the EL or nothing now.
Arteta has to fix that midfield though. Today showed how Torreira's recent form has been carrying us. He does 60% of the work in midfield with Özil and Xhaka splitting the rest between them.
Xhaka barely has a brain cell in him and Özil is past it, so no wonder we lost control once Torreira came off.
We desperately need a new CM and CAM between the two we have starting are just not good enough. Arteta should really have taken the chance and forced Xhaka out to Berlin. Would have removed some of the work for summer.
I think they are inconsistent but not as bad as us, Sp**s and united. Also they came 3rd last season and they have a better winning culture than the other teams.
Although I think Sheffield and Wolves have just as much of a chance.
Because the 4th official sent a message.About the red, the referee saw it and gave a yellow, so it wasn't a clear and obvious error. Why did it even go to VAR in that case?
It doesn't really that matter the players we got usually got used to play every 3 days. I think the main problem we have that fatigue got to us quickly we can't seem preform for 90 minutesThink that one season without Europe would be good for us.Maybe we won't get enough money for proper signings,but we can focus on EPL.
Yes, because Torreira/Guendouzi would work just as well.
Also neither Xhaka nor Özil were the reason we drew today.
On another day that shot he made kisses the post and nestles in the back of the net and he is considered the match winner.Just to clarify, yes I’m a Pepe fanboy but I’m an agenda-less poster.
He had a poor first ten mins when compared to the service he was getting. But he didn’t have a meaningful touch of the ball again until the end of the game (which he admittedly messed up)
Attackers are high risk players whose errors and losses of possession are always magnified when they don’t get enough service. You won’t ever catch me saying a forward had a bad game if he hasn’t had sufficient opportunities. If he scored that chance the tide would turn massively. Fine margins.
Those of you wanting your forwards to make something happen when their midfield is non existent need to go watch Lionel Messi or switch to basketball where one player can more effectively carry a team.

I think every big decision goes to VAR
I can see us do better in the EL than PL. The physical approach PL teams take against us doesn’t suit us at all, and EL teams offer less of that. Whether it’ll be enough to win it all, we’ll see but I can see us go far.Unfortunately I can’t see us winning the Europa League too. Our team will fall short once again.
We need an Andrei Arshavin-esque signing.
