PL: Norwich v Arsenal | December 1, 14:00 GMT | Sky Sports

[mpower2540]

Positives and negatives.

Willock has struggled, the defence is capable of a screw up at any moment.

The midfield is terrible whatever combination we put out in terms of recovery/off the ball work rate. Having said that I felt on the ball we were pretty good (guendouzi was excellent on the ball).

Need more from the front men. Özil has been quiet, Laca has held the ball up well but offered nothing else. Auba has spent too much time out wide. Improvements for sure but the limitations of this squad are obvious.

 

[Gunner D]

We’re winning this

Yeah I think so too. We really need to sort out the CB problem though. They’re literally all sh*t. Holdings looked atrocious since he’s come back from injury also. Need a top class CB in the summer.

 

[Makingtrax]

Get Torreira on for Willock, Pepe for Laca.

 

[Ash10]

Again, Guendouzi is the only player on the pitch who is performing well for us right now

& there are people that want him taken off:rofl:

 

[Beast Incarnate]

That was such a throwback Wenger performance.. Seeing lots of the ball, lots of tippy tappy passes in the final 3rd with no end product. And of course conceding goals completely against the run of play.

• better pressing
• more shots
• more possession
• fewer mistakes
• more crosses
• more corners

It's not all bad.

Just the usual defensive disasterclass to spoil what has been one of our better performances this season.

 

[razörist]

What's he meant to do about either of those goals?

Meh quality keeper saves the first goal, yes it was deflected but he was frozen, where are his reflexes?

 

[gunner4lyfe]

Hopefully pep for willock. Seems like mustafi is only in because of his pal mertesacker. We need a RB.

Thought so as well. Willock is lost out there. Not having a good day. 10 more minutes to see if it changes and bring on pepe if it doesnt.

 

[The_Playmaker]

Positives- We’ve played much better than in the last stretch. Negatives, our midfield shield has been non existent, and the defenders have been backing off way too much. Frustrating for sure, but a better watch.

The midfield just cannot recover. We have no speed on there. We have no recover speed in the entire back 4 or in central areas.

No matter what we do going forward, unless we address the middle of the pitch we will be countered on constantly.

I hoped Freddie wouldn't just restore Xhaka. But it looks like we need this new manager asap. People moan about AMN. But he would literally jog back and prevent counter attacks faster than any of our midfield or defence can sprint.

 

[Preacher]

Our players don't know what tactical fouling is. If you need take a yellow card at the worst. During every counter-attack our players are retreating back or they are too late to track back. FFS.

 

[nas7232]

It seems like it's pointless playing 3 CMs. Aubameyang is off position too

 

[Jasard]

Chambers has proven many times he's not suited in defense. We're not learning anything new here but we lack alternatives.

 

[El Duderino]

Hey, at least we’ve got our Arsenal back. Dominating for 45 minutes and gifting goals to the opposition.

Feels good!

 

[mma]

Get a real ****ing coach

 

[FinnGooner]

We’ve invested a lot on attacking players and been skimping on defenders and midfielders. The result should not be a shock to anybody. Emery wasn’t the only or even main issue here. Sure he needed to go even if just for the club executives to see that this team is absolutely horseshit!

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Leno - 3
Chambers - 3
Mustafi - 3
Luiz - 3
Kolasinac - 5
Guendouzi - 4
Xhaka - 4
Willock - 3
Lacazette - 4
Özil - 5
Auba - 4

 

[Ash10]

Hate to say it, but Willock has been awful.. Really hoped he would take his chance.

He only looks well when the opposition isn’t trying

 

[Taneruit]

Performance was better than this entire season really, despite the dumb goals.

I’m not giving too much on this game though. It’s only been like two days since Freddie took over. Encouraging signs.

 

[Fewtch]

Hate to say it, but Willock has been awful.. Really hoped he would take his chance.

Not as energetic as he usually is today

 

[Dj_sds -]

Get Torreira on for Willock, Pepe for Laca.

And the creative genius that is Özil should get the full 90 min, right?
