We never seem to have the ball under control at any point. Loose touches, stray passes. It seems so different to a cool, controlled oppostion who we give so much time and respect to.

Now, there's a school of thought that would say this is because our best players aren't playing, and we don't have many good ones to begin with.

Have largely supported Smith and his decision making but a Mclean/Gilmour central midfield is asking for trouble. 

The biggest blind spot of Webber/Farke has been appreciating that we need to hire some mifielders who can tackle and some who can score.

They've flooded the squad with passers who specialise in neither of those traits.

There is a reason he's the only top flight keeper to have shipped 9 goals twice

Not sure what Gunn was supposed to do with having it go through possibly 2 of our players legs.

They would crucify us if we press high.   See Leeds 1 Arsenal 4!   With this team our only chance is to defend and defend and hope it’s 0-1 with 5mins to go. 

I'd rather lose having a go than sitting back and hoping we don't lose by more. 

I wouldn't actually play Williams but I like his let's have some spirit.

[Drazen Muzinic 1,458]

Man City not taking any prisoners today either 4-0 in 25 minutes, The gulf widens every season.

What do you mean? If you point out how bad we are we might start playing well!

Wait, that's a good idea. Let's try this....

You are Chris Hughton and I claim etc etc.

Switching to a positive frame of mind, we are still in this while it is just 1-0. Ar5e haven't got too close since they scored either. Stranger things have happened. Even Ipswich win sometimes.

[All the Germans 1,085]

I thought Placeta was meant to be rapid? He looks quick-ish but I've never seen him burn away from anyone. 

[Drazen Muzinic 1,458]

Decent ball there to Teemu. Shame Ramsdale was off his line sharpish. That could be our best chance at a point here.

wish i could watch it :'D

[Dr Greenthumb 753]

Gilmour is one of the most overrated players to have joined our club

[Nuff Said 5,254]

Hold it at 0-1 till half time, Todd “Santa Claus” Cantwell to come on and score two worldies to win it. You read it here first.

[TeemuVanBasten 3,327]

Stay on side placheta FFS

McLean only one of our midfielders looking to drive forward, and fair play to him for trying to immitate a playmaker, problem is that he's not one really and going into a Premier League season without one is a huge f*ck up.

Zaha off misses Tuesday   

[Michael Starr 523]

So depressing right now. It's embarrassing

[Michael Starr 523]

We're stripping it back to simple play... but we're not even able to do that at the moment. I can't see how we will ever score... we just need something... anything... a ball to go in off someone's bum or something

[lake district canary 4,562]

Our attacks just break down before anything happens. Mclean, Gilmour, Dowell just poor and teamwork is just awful. No confidence in the team.

[kirku 1,339]

Zaha sent off, Leicester getting it much worse.

Those seem to be the main positives so far.

[Nuff Said 5,254]

Getting a bit feisty now over nothing.

[All the Germans 1,085]

That's it boys. Let's have some.

[Drazen Muzinic 1,458]

Enjoying the handbags immensely. We are quite good at that.

[Drazen Muzinic 1,458]

Why tf did Placheta get a yellow for that? Evening it up bc the big team had a yellow a couple of minutes ago?

Miss Emi so very very much 😔

Proper play ground stuff this is…

Arsenal are a bunch of **** aren’t they

[Monty13 2,294]

Well that’s this over.
