PL: Burnley v Arsenal | Sunday February, 2 | KO: 14:00 GMT | Sky Sports

[Dennis_Bergkamp_10]

We're away and they're on the same number of points. What right do we have to go and dominate them? Times have changed you need to learn to lower your expectations.

With reasoning like that you can get away with being 20th ffs

I'm scratching my head on the Willock substitution

 

[GoonerJay24]

Xhaka os important part in our midfield he can pass forward unlike Guendouzi or Torreira.

He's a good passer but still not in the mold of Petit, Viera, Fabregas and even Arteta.

We've fallen low with our quality in midfield, I would try Willock and Ceballos in there

I'm scratching my head on the Willock substitution

? Özil was non existant - should've happened earlier.

 

[Trilly]

This is enough Dennis.

 

[Ashybashy86]

Us and Man U have so much in common atm.

Yes, but they're only one good manager away from leaving us behind. Honestly don't think Pochettino could've done anything with this lot.

 

[krengon]

lmfao this guy is such a joke

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Every time we get chances to close the gap we fvck it up

Honestly all teams are doing that this season

 

[Sniper Mik]

No idea what Arteta is trying to do, but I really hope he's not going to persist with Laca. As much as Emery was criticised for tinkering too much, at least he had the guts to change what he thought wasn't working.

It wasn't guts. He was faffing about in the dark hoping something worked. He was clueless

 

[Trilly]

Özil used up his seasons reserve of good performances for those first few games under Arteta. Hilarious.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

lmfao this guy is such a joke

He is What f**king he talking about every time we play them he say same s**t.

 

[TimT]

What is this?

Top 4 was gone in November or something.

I said before not only top four but top six is even not attainable. There are already 6 teams that play better football consistently, and two more are also doing a lot better. Arsenal is playing for 9th place at best unless two new guys and the guys on the bench perform great till the end of the season.

 

[Furious]

@Trilly chatting **** about my manager?

A bit rich, coming from a bloke was riding "Big **** Raul" in the summer.

 

[Jae]

Özil and Lacazette just look done to me. Lacazette at least tries, Özil gives up as soon as things start not going his way. Both need to be gone in the summer.

Guendouzi just isn't good enough at the minute. Always holds onto that ball for just that couple of seconds too long. Plays us into trouble with his passing all the time. Needs a season out on loan IMO.

Auba is even worse on the right than he is on the left. He misses far too many chances as well. Just play him up front or don't play him at all.

It seems that the only two players in our team capable of playing defence splitting passes are our two centre backs

 

[Wengysaurus]

Dyche needs to stfu. Worry more about his own teams prehistoric style of play.

 

[tap-in]

When I saw the line up I thought we'd be lucky to get better than a draw. Arteta needs to take risks, by playing the kind of line up Emery would have selected is a concern. We are drawing far too many games that we should be winning. We are in our lowest ever PL position after 25 games, to improve Arteta has to take risks rather than going same old same old and selecting Laca & Özil regardless of form.

Our attack should have been Martinelli Auba Pepe, at least with that you get chances on the break. We now go away to Dubai following a poor performance and with little hope of top 4. A win would have made a huge difference to our trip and our optimism for a decent run in.

 

[Ashybashy86]

It wasn't guts. He was faffing about in the dark hoping something worked. He was clueless

Even so, I bet he wouldn't have left Laca on for so long.

 

[The_Playmaker]

Really poor performance. I said before the game that this game is all about the second ball and just getting there quickly. We needed to pick players who actually have acceleration.

Guendouzi, Laca, Özil and Xhaka look like they are running in sand at all times. We cannot afford to have zero athleticism in this kind of game.

Where the hall was AMN. Bellerin is literally back from Injury. Are we not even going to put an emergency option on the bench?

 

[Finesse]

This is a good lesson for the manager. We changed a lot around today. The system is still not well implemented enough for us to move players around.

Saka and Martinelli has been our most dangerous flank. We changed that today. We could not make anything happen on either flanks. Martinelli is better coming inside from the left with Sama always overlapping to provide an outlet. We missed that today.

The midfield lost balance as soon as Xhaka moved to the left side. We lacked composure and the right passes to find the forwards.

Özil kept us in the game in patches. Many find him the outlet to vent their anger during the games. However can anyone who was happy he got off tell me what impact his replacement brought in? We were just dire from then.

Laca N Auba are rusty. Sort it out. An early goal would have put us in control.

Burnley apart from their hard work are dire. Any other team would have been out of sight today.

Arteta learned a lot this afternoon from his team and system and must be lucky to get a draw.

 

[Ash10]

Don't know about that Özil did a huge amount of work of the ball 2nd half ,also the best chance in the 2nd half he set up Marti should have passed .

That's why I said motivation & not ability. He still does it now & then but looks highly frustrated again
