**** result but you can't expect too much when you have so little of the game which was the problem. We have much better players but we couldn't impose our quality on them.

That’s was brilliant result considering we were played off the park.

 

[Riou]

Xhaka is another one of our players that is good at home, but poor away...considering he has been apart of the side, that has finished the last few seasons (with fans) with a negative away record, I don't think he would have made much difference tonight.

Keep forgetting how easily bullied we are away, so 4 points from our last 2 is pretty decent, for this group.

 

[LG10]

Xhaka a huge loss, we’re nowhere near as good in possession without him, gotta get guimaraes in Jan

but they far outperformed us on xG.
1.2 - 0.3

That's huge and on the managers. Meaning their manager successfully got them near the finish line, they just couldn't finish. Arteta on the other hand held his team back

Yes they absolutely deserved 3 points they were better side for like 70 minutes it's fair thing to say we lucky get out from point

This should be reminder for us new players specially Tomi Lokonga and ode just they have to be at thier best every game and today they not they thought Brighton was like cadiz or Venezia.

Our team is still pretty new so i don't expect 3 points the important is not losing

hmm

 

[LG10]

We got battered. The only reason we didn’t lose is entirely due to the shocking finishing of Brighton.

We’re the ones that missed clear cut chances. What big chance did they have?

 

[krengon]

We need Europa man, this 1 game a week is not it...

 

[yorch44]

With players quality we have currently it's just above midtable between 6th-7th. The defending is good but midfield and lack of goals make us look midtable until we fix that every game it'll be similar to Sp**s but for now we clearly lack that

I don't agree... They look worse than they are thanks to our awful manager

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

hmm

Haha maybe I'm disrespect these teams but it's fact the quality gap between PL clubs and other bottom half la liga serie a clubs is huge.

More game time for Pepe. @Macho @Trilly

I don’t want any game time for him. If he started today he’d be getting hammered in his thread.

Meanwhile the guys who have started will get zero criticism (which is fair because Arteta’s system is a graveyard for attackers) the double standard is strong.

Yes Europe is nice but unless it's CL i really don't care much the Europa is struggle to watch the group stage also we have so little time to rest

 

[GLITCH]

We need a real manager, man, this Arteta guy is not it.

Their xG was four times ours. How bad is that.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Honest answer from Rams. But i feel we took the foot off the gas majority of game we were lazy with ball

They’re sooooo young, so they automatically get a free pass tbh regardless of how they perform.

Someone was anonymous today but if I speak…

I'd take Europa too, so boring only playing once a week, especially with performances like this.

We not better in possession with him. I knew as soon as xhaka got injured he would be overhyped again. I hope to never see him play for us

 

[A_G]

hard to tell what's parody or not these days with Arsenal fans

 

[Melquiades]

Well, that wasn't very good.

Ramsdale, White, Gabriel all did very well. ESR and Saka tried but the end product wasn't really there. Lacazette helped when he came on. Tomiyasu really struggled early against the impressive Cucurella but sorted himself as the game went along.

It's all well and good to blame the manager - and Arteta was outdone by Potter today - but the players have to hold some responsibility as well. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink, and some players just didn't show up today and had shocking performances. Tierney and Partey had maybe their worst games in an Arsenal shirt, Auba was dire, Sambi was totally aimless, Ødegaard completely uninvolved and invisible. The game turned in minutes 10-20 because individual players who should be better made a series of loose/sloppy plays to cheaply turn over possession and hand momentum to Brighton.

CM remains the team's biggest problem. I'm no huge Xhaka fan but the dropoff from him to Lokonga/AMN/Elneny is massive, and with Partey having a poor game their midfield just killed ours.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Hopefully Arteta had enjoyable 3 weeks now the fans back want him out even tho everyone of us know this guy going nowhere
