Xhaka will always let you down.

No CL since he signed.

Not sure how many more times I'll have to post this

ALWAYS

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

I swear he made more

 

[Finesse]

Comfortable first half till the mistake from Xhaka. It was an error and he was forced into it by Leno for playing into his weaker foot. We have seen them beat the press like this very often and score from it. No need for the outrage. Infuriating way to concede but that’s how we play.

I want to see them play their game and not shy after the mistake.

I am more frustrated by the chances we have not put to bed. We are creating too many clear chances to just be 1-1 after the break.

Arteta should get into them and send them back out. Senior players must turn up now and win this game.

 

[Kav]

If we don’t come out with some intensity in the second half then it won’t be our day.

 

[Makingtrax]

Should have been 3-0 up. Why the **** is it 1-1. Swear supporting Arsenal is bad for your health.

And why can’t Willian ever pass the first man in corners! ****ing amateurs.

 

[boonthegoon]

Players heads just went down man. All that effort for nothing. Doubt they can pick it up.

 

[Lady_Gooner]

I'm not involved, was just playing devil's advocate in the thread.

calm

 

[freeglennhelder2]

I can still hardly believe that happened, it was so bad. Bad from Xhaka, but it was really bad from Leno too, putting him in that position with an unnecessary short pass.

Can I ask, which team have you been watching these past few seasons? We were so utterly in control of the game, surely experience should have told you what was coming next? You could have also easily predicted some of the individuals involved.

 

[Rimaal]

Saka should have scored his chance and it would have been 2-0. Not sure if that would have had an effect on things but football is a funny old game.

Saka is 19, he's allowed mistakes, and shouldn't be expected to cover Arsenal's arse.

 

[nas7232]

Willian may have an assist but without the ball he is useless. Wonder what happened to martinelli

 

[AberGooner]

Don't think we played well

I thought we did till the last 10 mins. Some good passing moves that created a couple of great chances which again we should have taken.

 

[Trilly]

Xhaka should have not been rubbish

I mean...I'm not trying to absolve anyone of anything but I've just seen the replay of the miss and you can't be missing those.

 

[Raqe]

As someone who has to watch Xhaka play for Arsenal as well as my national team, I'm just sick of him at this point. Making mistakes is alright but he is so arrogant for playing average football for years and not improving his mental game at all. Just infuriating since he could be great if he had more in his brain.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

People will look to Xhaka for the mistake which they should, but how often does it feel like we can never consistently suffocate a team and score 2/3?

I agree, top positing. Always said you were a good poster.

You have to be ruthless when you're on top, 1-0 is always a dangerous lead. That said what Xhaka did was so incredibly stupid too.

 

[razörist]

Leno is as much to blame because he knows two things.

1. Xhaka cannot deal with being pressed.
2. Leno is passing onto Xhaka's weaker foot.

That was amateur from both of them.

Was barely pressed. Was just an alibi press so Dyche doesnt curse him out.

 

[GUNNERS4L1FE]

Willian has 0 personality on the pitch...

 

[Rasmi]

I hate this seriously fully in control should be 3 up and gifting goal for team have zero shots in target. Not sure when this team learn pure stupidity

We not in full control. This is typical Burnley match they don’t care for possession and gives it up every match. They focus on the 2-3 moments they get every match. We can pass around all we want, but I would be surprised if we win this

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Arsenal are such a unique football team.

Would you have it any other way? I mean yes probably but still......

 

[MikelHadADream]

Typical Arsenal performance under Arteta that. Comfortable all half, controlling the game then we shoot ourselves in the foot. Have to take those chances as well. Sigh.

 

[Aussie_gunner123]

I thought we were meant to be a professional team, not an amateur team making schoolboy errors week in week out which always cost us these games.
