Sorry @say yes I'll lay off you now, I'm just in a stupid mood.

 

[Ash10]

You know this place is in ruins when half the mods are Xhakatards

 

[AberGooner]

Played well that half but nothing to show for it again.

 

[Iwobeast]

Have to blame Saka too, you can't miss those kind of chances, game should've been put to bed a long time ago

 

[DanDare]

Saka should have scored his chance and it would have been 2-0. Not sure if that would have had an effect on things but football is a funny old game.

Xhaka should have not been rubbish

 

[Batman]

If he’s not getting sent off or flipping off the home crowd he’s doing that sort of stuff. Cannot stand him and have disliked him ever since he joined. He’s produced more negatives then positives in his time with us.

Be careful. He wants to square up to anyone who criticizes him because he fancies himself a hard man. Nevermind he'd probably end up knocking himself out, the brain dead *****.

 

[Maybe]

I can still hardly believe that happened, it was so bad. Bad from Xhaka, but it was really bad from Leno too, putting him in that position with an unnecessary short pass.

Well they are obviously asked to play like that, I can't blame either of them

 

[razörist]

And that’s why both sides of the Xhaka debate are kinda right.

He’s a very good player when he’s not making mistakes. But he makes far too many costly mistakes.

Can’t be a very good player when he has these mistakes in him. It’s not the first, second or third time. Whatever he does well he undoes himself with these mistakes. Adding all up you have an average player that doesnt give you more than an Elneny would do.

 

[AberGooner]

Saka should have scored his chance and it would have been 2-0. Not sure if that would have had an effect on things but football is a funny old game.

Very similar to the Wolves game.

 

[Big Poppa]

Leno and Xhaka share responsibility for that. Leno could’ve just booted it, or even played it to Luiz.

Big picture though you have to question why we have a first choice DM who can’t cope with being pressed while playing a style that requires putting the ball at risk.

 

[DanDare]

Played well that half but nothing to show for it again.

Don't think we played well

 

[Trilly]

Leno is as much to blame because he knows two things.

1. Xhaka cannot deal with being pressed.
2. Leno is passing onto Xhaka's weaker foot.

That was amateur from both of them.

If you could apportion blame what percentages would you give? I missed the first half.

 

[ThisFather]

We take this playing out from the back to extremes sometimes. Even if Barcelona did this it would look risky. No team ever looks back at their season and great teams and think 'oooohhh we wouldn't be here if it wasn't for us passing out from the back'

 

[Oxeki]

Burnley aren't even trying to play football and still we're making them look good ffs

 

[OnlyOne]

People will look to Xhaka for the mistake which they should, but how often does it feel like we can never consistently suffocate a team and score 2/3?

 

[Scottish_Gooner.]

Another mistake. Every ****in week

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Also us being so cute front of Burnley goal after scoring early pissed me off any dropped points here will be deserved because we not take things seriously

 

[Keplaz]

Martinez > Leno

This doesn't matter anymore. Arteta made a choice. Martinez doesn't play for us anymore. And he's been talking smack in the press. He'll be enjoying this.

 

[KrissKringle]

I was cooking some food in the kitchen when the equalizer came and I rushed in the living room to see it. I laughed out loud because that's a circus goal that you can always depend on Xhaka to gift.

 

[Riou]

Arsenal are such a unique football team.
