We're not a serious club tbh, in our position other big clubs would've went on to sign Gyokeres or someone at a similar level and have a real go at the title instead of running the few attackers left to the ground.

Well where can we improve without the obvious striking options available?

We have a talented GK, back four and with Rice, Partey, Ødegaard one thing is to tighten up at the back, more clean sheets.

We certainly need more than ever goals from all areas of the team. The skipper finding his scoring boots again, Rice and Partey both have scored goals from distance required.

The limited options we currently have in the forward positions can be offset by others contributing more.

Someone on here @alwaysinthemud has constantly given Arsenal stick 'cause we couldn't score against Everton thereby security a draw, despite the fact that Everton parked the train and played their lives out that day with Pickford becoming prime Dida to get that draw. I haven't seen this fella say much about Liverpool getting a draw and conceding 2 goals with a last minute equalizer against that same Everton.

When are people going to realize that lots of teams are quite scared of this Arsenal team? With the right forwards brought in, we'll be a dread to the league and beyond for a good while, and i believe the other teams probably already acknowledge this.

We have a match in 2 days and there's no Leicester build up thread. Why aren't these created immediately after a match ends so we can build up and discuss/read about it?

We haven't been "good enough" this season but PGMOL has robbed us of 4 points - the gap would only be 3 pts currently if not for those utterly bogus red cards (City, Brighton).

I'll ****ing take that to my grave, don't care.
You are being generous there. Add another 2 points to Brighton away as you won't see any ref in any game this season give a penalty for a clash of head. Don't forget the Liverpool game where we had a perfectly good goal chalked off while at the same time Konate wiped out Martinelli but no penalty. That is at least 8 more points. Which means Liverpool would have 1 point less because they wouldn't have drawn that game. We would be 2 points clear of them now.

True, but I think the concern is that the club have shown no sign of actually bringing in the right forwards.

It's sinking in how precarious of a position we are in.

3 players for 2 competitions where we have to field our best 11. Sterling hasn't played full games consistently in ages and we have no idea how Nwaneri handles the load of a starting player. Even Trossard who is always fit has never had play the amount of minutes he will have to, he's always been properly rotated while he's been here.

We need to find an internal solution that can actually absorb significant minutes or this could turn into a clown show really quick.

Finally managed to catch one of your videos @Tir Na Nog, good analysis.

I like how our hybrid press is broken down, looking at the game against City. If there is one thing that will keep us in contention this year, its our elite structure off the ball.
 

Arsenal Quotes

In a football match anything can happen, the players, 90 minutes, fantastic moves, an element of luck, talent, courage, and touch of magic and, for those who are watching these men play, the search for excitement, for a memory, for a lesson in life.
