Win Europa League: Bodø/Glimt 0 - 1 Arsenal | Thursday 13th, October | KO: 17:45 BST | BT Sport

[Riou]

Never has a goal summed up a football game more than Saka's today, though him nearly killing a random guy just chilling in his bathroom would have been appt if it did finish 0-0.

Bodo deserved a point with the chances they created, but the game was so poor that they didn't deserve to score a good goal...only if Rob headed one into his own net, with his hair falling out as it happened, would have been a fitting equaliser for them.

He isn't DM i been saying that for a while i think everyone sees that too. Just Elneny got wrong time to get injured as 6 Lokonga will never develop

Never a 6. He lacks defensive intensity and positional awareness.

 

[andeoch1]

Will have to watch again to see why is Turner getting praised, what I managed to catch of the second half they couldn't shoot on target to save their lives

You are going to watch that game again , Jaysus you’re a sadist

 

[andeoch1]

It's clear next Jan the depth has to improve its vital we get good winger and midfielder too much pressure on Xhaka Partey Saka and Martinelli we'll struggling if they get injured

ESR should be back at least

 

[Mohamed7]

They should really have scored at least one goal. Lucky us.

Even highlights were boring. Didn’t watch it. Livescored.

 

[HollandGooner]

Our team didnt care yesterday but we got the job done which is the most important thing.

 

[Badger_Revenge]

This is the first time this year I saw worrying signs for Arsenal. May have had to do with Nelson, Holding, Lokonga, Nketiah, Viera all getting a start away from home (I thought Tierney was quality for the first 60 minutes).

But frankly, none of the regular starters seemed to know how to manage that pitch very well. Lot's of long throughballs and cutting under shots.

We'll see how things play out away at Leeds.

 

[Uncle Good-Advice]

How on Earth they have counted Bodo 0.68 xG? They had at least 3-4 very good chances. Useless stat!

 

[Blood on the Tracks]

In isolation it's fine. We got the 3 points in a tricky away tie, that's all that mattered.

Squad depth just isn't up to par though. Miss 2-3 regulars in a league match and we'll be struggling a fair bit.

Getting to the end of my patience with Nelson tbh. He's got all the talent in the world but if it's not going to translate into first team performances by the end of the season he needs to go.

 

[kyrubus]

What a dull game, but an important win.

A stupid idea: how lovely would it be, if the club invited Arsène Wenger to coach one of the last "meaningless" EL group games? Picking a youngster side from current crop, in a typical Wenger fashion? That woul be really exciting for me as a fan.

 

[Moviegooner]

Not the best game, but three points against a side who won 13 home European matches in a row and the artificial grass didn't help to play our game. Imprest with Turner. For a backup goalkeeper, he's pretty solid. Another great buy, Edu and Artet

Nah just a lack of concentration and effort.

 

[Rex Stone]

Nelson is where Eddie was last year. Barely played and needs game time and confidence. Not worried about him.

Hope we can make it to the World Cup with our squad intact then go ham in January.

Need one or two names still.

 

[CaseUteinberger]

Imprest with Turner. For a backup goalkeeper, he's pretty solid. Another great buy, Edu and Artet

Didn't watch the game but good to hear he looked solid. Here on A-M he has quite maligned earlier. He cannot be totally rubbish. He is the US National team's GK after all, isn't he?

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

ESR should be back at least

Yeah at least he can give us something from bench still the quality there apart from those 3 is weak we need at least 4 good wingers

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Never a 6. He lacks defensive intensity and positional awareness.

Yes when you afraid to win 50/50 can't win headers at least you not gonna make it as DM

 

[Sapient Hawk]

I think with his latest deflected goal, it's concrete evidence that Saka is the new Lampard now

 

[Riou]

Mourinho got beaten 6-1 here, while Arteta gets a win with a weakened team...

 

[BIoodBrother]

That pitch is like a carpet. Not the same football. It changes a lot more than is clear cut visable on TV. Its another feeling and as Arteta said much faster but its not about being smarter that faster helps, its only about whether you are used to it.
So I wouldnt worry too much and am happy that we still got that W

 

[Rasmi]

A midfield gets run through and only one guy gets the blame. Leeds will be huge problem if we don’t fix the midfield. This childish thinking of one guy is supposed to defend the whole midfield is laughable and yesterday this team should have been buried
