PL: Arsenal v Wolves | Sunday, November 29 | KO: 19:15 GMT | Sky Sports

[Yousif Arsenal]

Surley that's Jiminez's career done? Ryan Mason suffered a similar injury if I remember correctly.

As for Luiz, not taking him off was a disgrace decision by Arteta.

Not at all cech suffered worse type of injury and he capable of continuing after that it's depends on doctor advice it'll maybe require Jeminez wear something in his head like cech not suitable for outfield player.

Not fair to blame Luiz or mikel not taking him off if you blame someone blame the medical team.

 

[Blood on the Tracks]

Poor Jiminez, that head collision was sickening to hear. I really hope he recovers okay. I find it hard to see how he will be able to continue his playing career though.

Physically recovering from a fractured skull is one thing, you're probably going to psychologically struggle putting your head about after an injury like that though. Cech was never the same after his skull fracture and a striker is much more reliant on using their head than a goalkeeper.

I think it's unfair to level the Luiz decision on Arteta. It's the medical staff that decide whether Luiz has passed the necessary protocols to continue or not.

 

[MikelHadADream]

Why on earth would you lump that decision on Arteta? He isn't the club doctor and the club doctor told him that everything was fine except the cut.

Given the context of the situation, and the huge gash on Luiz's head, i think the common sense thing would have been to replace him immediately.

A cut to the head means nothing, if the players dizzy/discombobulated/looking groggy then its an issue.

He had to come off at half time because he couldn't head the ball mate, it was an issue.

Captain material right there, eliminates any threat.

From Arseblog Match report

“There was a moment in the second half which summed things up for me – Gabriel was about take the ball and go forward, but Xhaka took it off him and leathered an almost uncontrollable pass to Rob Holding 20 yards back down the pitch in our defensive area. If only he’d hit some of his forward passes with such conviction.”

Been saying it for ages. This club deteriorated inexorably when Xhaka was signed. We were forced to move to 5 at the back and we still can't escape from it.

I hate him as a footballer. Absolutely terrible.

Alot of players play half arsed yesterday after going down 2-1 if wolves had Grealish and good striker they could have scored more. there some half arsed tacking our captain and leader look arsed can't jump can't run not pressing our midfield is too open.

It was same attitude against villa. Are players really satisfied with themselves? Even you play with manager you don't agree with your tactics but damn this is so embarrassing from them

 

[Aussie_gunner123]

If we are looking for any positive in all this atm, imo it's clearly that the season is 38 games & we are only 10 games old, plenty of time to get back into the groove of things yet as much as this is still so frustrating.

 

[Sebastes]

Beyond deluded. Bar Saka, Saliba and Martinelli, the rest of those players range from bang average to poor.

Well, pretty much like the rest of the team then? I’m not saying that playing those players will elevate our game. I’m saying we might as well play them and finish 10th instead of playing Xhaka, Willian, Laca etc and perhaps finishing 7th.

If they’re not good enough for Arsenal than this season will show that. But they are young English (mostly) players that will raise their market value if they play. The same can’t be said about the older players.

Mental that Luiz was patched up and played on. From a health perspective surely that choice needs to be taken out of players hands.

From a playing perspective why the hell would you want a CB that likely isn’t going to head effectively.

 

[krengon]

Almost everything Arsenal does lately just pisses me off, on and off the pitch.

 

[Tourbillion]

He's a ****ing embarrassment. He's been a [Mod Edit: stop using that word ffs] on this club for years. We've been a shambles since he joined and become an immovable object.

talking about Stan?

No but also yes.

 

[Rimaal]

This club is in so much trouble, the ship is sinking whilst the band plays on.

 

[novar]

You think that pass back wasn't an instruction?

 

[boxerumble]

Don't worry guys, the Arsenal PR team will be quick to highlight our beautiful triangle passing and shooting drills on the youtube channel.

Everything is completely normal behind closed doors. There is absolutely no problem here..****s

 

[squallman]

Does anyone know why 3 of our players let that Wolves player get to the ball before them for the second goal when they were all closer?

(I know Luiz was there but I'm giving him a break because of the head collision)

Strolling around the pitch like they've actually won things.
