Wasn’t a fan of the midfield three, it might allow Bellerin and Tierney to push higher but neither are particularly outstanding there.
In a turn of pure serendipity the heat map right above your post explains precisely why Auba is not really at fault.Why are we paying a striker £250k p/w to score goals when he hasn't had more then 1 shot in 4 games.
Why are we paying a striker £250k p/w when his hold up play is non existant and he's useless with the ball to feet.
Ladies and gentlemen, we've been oziled.
I'm fed up too! We can't rely on anyone but Willian for creativity and he's got a knock. It's outrageous, I tell you!I’m fed up. We look really really bad and the signs tell me it’s not going to improve much.
Despite our **** play...
WE WERE ****ING ROBBED.
That goal would have given the game to us tactically, we would have won that game.
Özil couldn't do nothing this game Leicester will man mark him and he'll struggle.Can we stop mentioning Özil.
I would have liked to see him in the team but he’s done, there’s no point in dwelling on the past. All this Özil talk after every game is annoying as ****.
Nelson, ESR etc are untested and will remain untested until they are tested. They should have been tested at Rapid on Thursday in a game we could afford to lose.It's personnel. Arteta needs to change it up a bit. You know which forward we have who actually is good at 1-2s in attacking situations? Reiss Nelson. Where was he? Not in the squad. ESR - not in the squad. They're young, and untested (in Nelson's case, he's lacking in momentum currently) so I get the apprehension but what he has used isn't working quite so well either. It's not fitting together.
Arteta claims that the training is giving him a headache of who to pick in the squad. I say the matches should give him a bit more clarity about who he should give consistent game time to.
give it a rest...at 0-0 I was worried that we were playing into Brendans hands...and said so ...and you started talking about negativity and bad posting and trolling .... please be open to discussion and to learning about football.
this has nothing to do with winning or losing...we were saying this during the game... but you only want to label people.
No chance, deep deep deep *******Bring back Özil, need more creativity to change game
Referee: Craig Pawson
- Arsenal are unbeaten in October Premier League home matches for 18 years. They have played 32 such fixtures in this month since losing one.
- The Gunners are also undefeated in 27 home meetings with Leicester in all competitions (W20 D7).
- Leicester have won their last two PL away matches by an aggregate score of 8-2.
Team News:
- Brendan Rodgers' men have the best shot conversion rate in 2020/21, netting with just under 25 per cent of their efforts. But they have failed to score with any of their last 15 attempts across their last two outings.
Arsenal
Arsenal will assess Willian (calf) and Dani Ceballos (ankle) after the duo were ruled out of Thursday's UEFA Europe League match against Rapid Vienna.
Rob Holding (hamstring) is sidelined for approximately three weeks.
Lecicester
Perera, Ndidi and Soyuncu remain out
We’ve been poor all season. Questions have to be asked.
Also, I don’t mind losing if we play on the front foot, what’s the point of being so passive and still losing games?
Here's the deal:
Arteta doesn't trust the young players - or rather, he doesn't want to trust them as they're too young to be relied upon. He's alluded to this in his press conferences and that's fair IMO. I mean, he plays Saka a hell of a lot but he's that rare youngster who is a fairly consistent performer - always has been.
I agree wholeheartedly with you to be honest, it's exactly what I would have done but Arteta is proving to be somewhat risk averse in his tenure so far. Maybe we'll see a more progressive team against Dundalk on Thursday (at least, I hope so, I don't want to see Laca, Xhaka or Ceballos anywhere near that XI on Thursday).
The mystery continues.Fofana is ready for the PL but Saliba isn’t?! Am I missing something or did we get the wrong CB?
lol you’ve said this learning about/understanding football dig 5 times with no response from me. This is not an argument. Learn how to discuss something without being so toxic all the time. Again I will state, you constantly make claims with no evidence.
We had several great chances in the first half and they had none. That was not a masterclass by Rodgers. It’s not Arteta’s fault that the ball got stuck under our player’s feet 4 times. It’s not a masterclass to put Vardy on in the second half, it was desperation. Literally every manager and poster would’ve done the same.
It's groundhog day !Work in progress, need to fix up though because Top 4 is there for the taking.
