WTF. If this is true then hope Arteta is dropping everyone who didn't follow the plan. He won't though, he'll pull names out of the tombola again for the next match

Think he means they didn’t execute properly.

Great great comeback. Watching the casual way we played in that Olympiakos match, I knew we'd struggle to contain Antonio and Lingard. That's why I captained Lingard on FPL.
Terrible first 30mins but we have some strong mentality players like Partey, Laca and Ø who were crucial for the comeback. Ødegaard was almost perfect in this match. We have to sign him in the summer.
Honestly, I'm even more convinced by Arteta. We'll go through ups and downs with him but I see what he's trying to do. He has to rectify the team's casual behaviour that they've been exhibiting throughout the season. They've been making mistakes for fun and missing chances left and right. He has to find a solution before they bottle our Europa aspirations because he'll get all the heat for that.

Yeah I don't think he means there was a mutiny but still think wtf, pros can't carry out the game plan?

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Arteta Should share the blame he clearly told his team to go wrong every time Leno has the ball there was no pressing like we usually do.

 

[krengon]

This was really pathetic defending.. Just take a tactical foul at least.

I can’t believe how many he went past ,there was a pass to Antonio there, would have been all over

 

[kash2]

still dont understand the Luiz Mari CB pairing.

It's shocking.

 

[Tourbillion]

Mari ffs

Who is that fast **** destroying us there?

 

[roz]

Great game to watch, thought we were unlucky to not win tbh.

We were awful for the first 30 but were the better side for most of the game. Credit to the players & Arteta for turning it around.

 

[Riou]

Hopefully Russell Brand is devastated by this reuslt.

Rice, Rice baby.

 

[EmeryCouldnt]

Didn't he get all three pre-assists? And also laid down a couple of presentable chances for Pepe to fluff? I always think that assists is an incomplete stat, the pre-assist is just as important. Nothing against Özil btw, he's got his fair share of pre-assists that didn't really register as contribution.

He played excellent today. That doesn’t mean he’s shown he’s better than Özil was.

Bring Deccy to the carpet ffs, top player.

 

[kash2]

death, taxes and Jesse Lingard twerking at the Arsenal goal line. Why no one closed him down is a mystery.

 

[Mitch]

Lenno has been good overall this season but has looked increasingly shaky in each match the past few matches. Give Ryan a chance.

Play our best 4 defenders in Tierney, Gabriel, Holdini and My Heccy.

Drop PEA, Saka and Partey and out in ESR, Pepe and Ceabllos.

 

[MikeVinna]

Mari/Luiz is an absolute pisstake of a CB pairing to be honest. Both of them are just traffic cones when defending. I don’t see the use of rotating CB’s in the first place. Just play Gabriel with either Luiz or Holding because he’s clearly the most promising of the bunch.

Worried about Auba. Doesn’t offer us anything at LW or CF if he’s not scoring. Martinelli/Pepe at least make things happen.

It was good goal even Lingard himself couldn't believe he did that.

 

[MikelHadADream]

Games like today make me really miss Gabriel, we missed his physicality a lot I felt. He's by far our best CB.

 

[Rimaal]

Tbf, I think Mari did well in getting so tight that he made it difficult to make that pass. It would have taken a better player to turn on a pin and pass it, like Mahrez.
