Comedy Iwobi has been much better today in fairness to him. But his final ball is still terrible too often. But he has played a few nice effective simple passes correctly today. 8)

Iwobi is a different player under a decent coach. Good to see.

I wouldn't go that far mate. :lol: :wink: He is still absolute gash more often than not. But today he is keeping it simple and being smart and quietly effective. Fair play to him.

Bit harsh tbh DB, he’s been a far better player this season, far better I reckon.

Any idea who the bloke thinks he is that's standing on the sideline telling our players what to do? :rubchin:

Not being funny but i'm seeing improvement in most of the players, even if it is slight except Bellerin, Mustafi and Xhaka

Holding got away with it 5 minutes earlier, Monreal punished that time. Suicidal passes out from the back :banghead:

Maybe but it's Arsenal in the PL. Should we accept average players?

For me its about the basics. A great player gets 9 out 10 things right a good player 7 out of 10 things right an average player 5 out of 10 things right a poor player 3 out of 10 things right and Comedy Iwobi is somewhere in and around that 3 to 5 things right level...

Fucking hell that was a soft goal to give away. If he can't get them to play out from the back safely then Dick has got to drop the idea ffs.

How badly does Bellerin have to play for Lichsteiner to get a start ahead of him? He is a walking liability defensively and his pace is just a smokescreen because he can’t dribble and there’s no end product. On the other side Monreal isn’t blessed with pace or great ability but he contributes much more going forward.

Should have been 2 or 3 up. Welbeck and Iwobi have caused them problems but both are hugely lacking in quality when it matters, and that’s the difference between decent players and very good ones. Big lesson for us to be cruising that much and go in at 1-1.

Good goal from Fulham but you just can’t do that Monreal. There wasn’t much on for him but when that’s the case you’ve got to wallop it down the line, don’t pass it along the floor back into the middle of the pitch. If in doubt, overhit don’t underhit.

Each time it’s a basic mistake by one of our defenders :banghead: We really do need a new back four, none of them are good enough :roll:

played alright at times and deserved the lead but too many sloppy balls as the half went on, and it's cost us :roll:
