[kofigunner]

This illustrates how important ball retention is. Xhaka and and Ceballos have been terrible in that regard.

 

[EmeryCouldnt]

That was coming. Hate ending the half with that... Arteta gonna set the boys right. They think it’s all fun and games... artetas gonna go wild boar on them.

 

[Wiltord's left boot]

We really need a midfielder

 

[Manberg]

First of all, Holding should’ve done better. Second, why were we so vulnerable to that counter? Too many players were forward.

 

[OSBK]

Really worried about thet right side of defense. Its like everything is on saliba, everyone else is a serious liability.

 

[kraphtous]

We still got this, we‘re at home for what that‘s worth.

Still, showing why we need both Partey and Aouar.

 

[blaze_of_glory]

We've been very sloppy all over the pitch. Not sure anyone is playing well

 

[Breezy]

This was never going to be straightforward as soon as Kolasinac was foisted in to the team.

 

[Furious]

Terrible goal to concede.

Uninspiring half on the whole, hopefully a wake up call.

 

[NieThePiet]

where is Saka?

He is playing in a fullback positon, he has to be back to support Kola.

 

[North5]

Partey and Aouar plis

 

[Rimaal]

We really need a midfielder

2 midfielders. A defensive and a creative.

 

[El Duderino]

We've got a long way to go with this defence, lads.

Such a soft goal to let in.

 

[Riou]

We deserved that tbf...it's what we get for dropping our best central midfielder.

 

[MutableEarth]

Antonio was clever just peeling off of Holding instead of Gabriel. Ghosted into a good position. That's a decent goal. Empty in midfield though, that lack of mobility being exploited there.

 

[Lady_Gooner]

I don’t like it when we’re in **** mode

 

[Blood on the Tracks]

Barring the goal, absolutely awful first half. No spark at all. Could barely string 2 passes together. Vulnerable defensively. Big improvement needed second half

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Very Emery-esque performance has to be said. Going 50-50 with a team like West Ham, attacks constantly breaking down, looking shaky at the back.

 

[OnlyOne]

Serious shades of the Arsenal we've seen many times in the past.

 

[Wrighty4eva]

We really need a midfielder

We need two, Buendia and Sangare are still available..
