I thought Dani is going to put Tim Sherwood in his place.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Xhaka and Ceballos really poor today never dominate the midfield and too safe.

 

[littleboysilva]

I knew we would make Mandingo look good ffs

Can we stop doing this lmfao

 

[DanDare]

Xhaka and Ceballos is not it

 

[Manberg]

& people get offended when people criticise the likes of Xhaka & Kolasinac

I’m not sure how they’re to blame for that. West Ham’s attackers outnumbered our defenders.

 

[Furious]

Elneny would have helped us keep the ball. Ceballos is playing very poorly, needs to get back to June Ceballos and not the September version.

We're keeping the ball just fine, we can't transition into the final 3rd enough, which Elneny wouldn't have helped much at all, especially given how compact West Ham have been.

 

[Moah]

It makes me sad that silky players like Pepe, Özil, Douzi have no place in Arteta‘s Arsenal

Douzi is the least silky player in midfield nxt to Torreira

 

[MutableEarth]

Yeah was smart by antonio but holding watched him the whole time. Really poor from holding, he sees the whole picture

Holding is very slow with poor acceleration, would have been hard to stop a player like Antonio storming in front of him.

 

[Rimaal]

Bring AMN on. Is he on the bench?

 

[Camron]

Nobody scores above a 5. Mikel will wake them up.

 

[MikeVinna]

Pepe wrecks opposition players for fun. Bring him on for Kola. Saka LB, Willian AM.

 

[EmeryCouldnt]

Xhaka, Ceballos, bellerin, holding, kolasinac, and laca looking pretty bad touch wise and decision wise.

 

[Ash10]

I’m not sure how they’re to blame for that. West Ham’s attackers outnumbered our defenders.

:frustrated:

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Ceballos has reverted back to the nonsense from pre-lockdown.

 

[Jury]

Pardiola's done it again, hasn't he?

 

[Manberg]

Ceballos has been a bit too casual

 

[boonthegoon]

Nobody to be blamed for the goal. Deserved for west ham. But our midfield is to be blamed for that poor poor half. Shows why we badly need reinforcements there.

 

[Trilly]

We'll never be a top side with Xhaka in midfield. Auba and Saka were making runs behind West Ham defence all half long but Xhaka had his blinders on. Laca is rubbish too apart from the goal

He doesn’t play those passes for us but he does for his country. He’s a lot safer for us, either fear or tactical instructions.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Bring AMN on. Is he on the bench?

Not many attacking options on bench apart from pepe and Eddie

 

[OnlyOne]

I think Oxeki is a black African man himself fwiw.

Hmmm, just see it thrown about often.
