PL: Arsenal v Burnley | Sunday, December 13 | KO: 19:15 GMT | Sky Sports

[Rex Stone]

And their 1.30 was certainly helped by playing against 10 men.

Yeah extension time imo.

 

[junglist57]

clearly I don’t get your sh1t joke or your written English

 

[al-Ustaadh]

Other than Lacazette's short there weren't many clear cut chances

That and right before Xhaka's red. Things were starting to pick up. We were also gaining some confidence to keep pushing.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

It's not nearly as bad as the position we're in, not even close. Look at the finish last season, look at the Cup. It should be better than that now.

I agree on that but its just not good enough. Look at the players starting today, Leno, Xhaka, Elneny, Lacazette, Holding, Willian even my favorite Bellerin. I wouldnt have them starting for Brighton. Thats majoeity of our starting XI.

Then Auba lacks form. Thomas been injured, Gabriel looks good but defense regressed since we had him. Pepe is 72 M worth of ****.

I have zero faith in this squad. New manager can come in and make them work hard for 3 months. But their mentality man. They will turn back to **** soon enough.

 

[bergholt]

We were unlucky to come up against the top 3 in our last 3 home games: Villa, Wolves, Burnley. Hopefully some easier games to come.

 

[Rex Stone]

Imagine watching the first half though and going yeah this is the Arsenal I want to see.

Can’t hide behind Xhaka.

 

[blaze_of_glory]

Well... we were creating chances and dominating... Then Xhaka was Xhaka.

We had one decent chance

 

[Legend14]

Still Arteta in, but I guess I'm crazy?

The stubborness to change the lineup is pushing me to the Arteta out side. It may be optimal to get a new manager with the new players January.

We should reserve judgement until we play Sheffield United and West Brom at home.

 

[kash2]

Well... we were creating chances and dominating... Then Xhaka was Xhaka.

yeah .. losing xhaka was crucial . he was the only one who showed up and was driving us forward

 

[OSBK]

**** me im actually sitting here agreeing with souness

 

[al-Ustaadh]

Definitely not the first half but what we started to see in the early second half was more like it. Just wish we could've seen us push on instead of have to play with 10 men. Sucks ass.

 

[al-Ustaadh]

We had one decent chance

Nah, we had a few. Should've done better with a couple others too. Gabriel's headers for instance.

 

[bergholt]

Gabriel looks good but defense regressed since we had him.

There are only 4 teams in the league who have conceded fewer than us this term:

10: Sp**s
11: Man City
12: Chelsea
13: Villa
14:
15: Arsenal, Leicester, West Ham

Admittedly we're packing the midfield but still, not sure defence is really the problem. Gabriel's fine.

 

[Let's play Aubamawang]

It's at a point now where Arteta needs to give our young players more starts. It's not a coincidence that our best players have been Gabriel, Tierney and Saka. At what point does Willian become droppable? The senior players are clearly playing poorly, and the longer he leaves it, the more points will be dropped. Does anyone think this squad in its current run of form will make it to 40+ points?

Absolutely fu¢king iconic scene

We are still making such blunders that I dont think solid defense would make. We need to limit errors leading to conceded goals.

 

[Papa Wonga]

Cant lose if we don't turn up against southampton.

Just fake it and say the whole club has Co-vid.

I think we'll see some changes after this match since we're done with the Europa group stage. Smith-Rowe on the bench is a hint of that. Arteta will be forced to change things now that Xhaka is out for the next three matches. Will be interesting.

 

[juice man]

Arteta thinks we’re generally playing well which is a big big problem.

I don’t think this has potential to get better.
