Knowing my luck mate it will be a recording of that first half

I didn't know Auba was playing...at least Martinelli is tracking back and !"Trying"....where the fukk is auba...I mean yes scores goals but what else? Considering he's a forward Saka has so far done okay (ish) that dirty crusty hippy smelly cunnt Davies has tried to 'do' him a couple of times.

[Gunner Rob]

Pepe must do absolutely nothing in training because he never gets picked !

He's been watching aiba for too long.

For years now we have bemoaned the lack of defensive discipline and structure in our team - today they have clearly been set up to be better/smarter positionally and more solid, and now we are being panned for offering nothing going forward Keown is giving out about the full backs offering nothing going forward, but as soon as they go forward we will be panning them for going gung ho

As a strong advocate of the proper Arsenal tradition (be strong defensively and win low scoring games) I am well comfortable if arteta is trying to fix that side of the team first. Fans who grew up watching attacking wenker football expect entertainment above everything else

Agree to an extent, our forward line can beat any defence, it is our defence that is the problem, and the mid-field the link between the two...


Hopefully Arteta will help improve the confidence of the players and show them how to play as an 11 man unit.

I concur Augie, particularly when our full backs are not full backs at all.

It’s more the front 3 that need to be more positive and actually take them on.

[OneBardGooner]

I feel sorry for Saka, he's a forward, not physically big/robust and he's being asked to defend.

[rodders999]

Starting to create a few opening now, time to put one away.

Come on

[OneBardGooner]

We have stepped up the pace this half...doing a lot better.

David Luiz is a donkey.

David Luiz is a donkey.

He Haw He Haw He Haw to know!

[rodders999]

All the young lads getting game time over the seasoned pros tells ya all you need to know about who the bad apples in the squad are.

And do you know what, win lose or draw this I’m all fucking for it.

Root the fuckers out and show them them the door.
