Nice

 

[berric]

Xhaka staying. Partey injured. What a day!

 

[Game Over]

Nice

FFS.

Already fed up of this season.

 

[BigPoppaPump]

If we are gonna play a higher line like today, then his pace will be crucial.

Arteta’s tactics are awful, his pace won’t change that.

 

[Token Yank]

The one player we can't afford to get injured, gets injured. We are ****ed.

 

[Riou]

Arteta could take some pressure off himself, and win some kudos from the fans, and all he had to do is start Lokonga v Brentford...sadly, he won't though.

 

[yorch44]

The one player we can't afford to get injured, gets injured. We are ****ed.

But people told me we need Lautaro and CAM and not a CM

 

[2Smokeyy]

Not really fussed about Partey, he’s done nothing to warrant such a reaction.

Just a name thus far. Granit is clear.

 

[Oxeki]

I'm excited for next season.

 

[GoonerJeeves]

Bissouma packing his bags.

 

[Vibra]

Always hated starting 2 centre forwards and always will

 

[Papa Wonga]

Still not sacked yet?

Lost our best midfielder for first 4 games of the season, stuck with the awful elneny and Xhaka combo.

Stuck with 2 strikers who can't score for sht, 1 on £300k p/w disgraceful.

Tinpot manager won't sign a new CM cause Xhaka's like a new signing.
Shttest midfield in the top 10, awful.

We're done.

 

[Oxeki]

Always hated starting 2 centre forwards and always will

But somehow Emery made it work and Auba Laca were firing that season.

 

[TromsoGooner]

A few weeks ago it looked like we could start the season with Partey (who by all accounts has looked excellent pre season) and a quality midfield signing in midfield. Now it will be Xhaka and Elneny

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

If Partey injured for at least month this is not good we already have games with Chelsea and City without Partey and no midfield signing we are absolutely done we won't compete.

Also for God sake can we sell some of these dudes?

And signing lautaro or even Abraham is important because the way auba performing this pre season and last season its signs of major decline

 

[avenellroad]

Looks like Pepe might have slightly offside in the buildup prior to the Willock disallowed goal…linesman may have tried to even it up

 

[HairSprayGooners]

Not surprised @HairSprayGooners is nowhere to be seen on match day. I guess he’s too busy watching Sassuolo’s B team for the next Locatelli.

**** off I've been in hospital all day.

 

[Rimaal]

Soooo... my 2 pence;

Leno is a liability.
Defence is woeful.
Auba can't hit a barn door.
Willock is definitely a keeper (his shot looked over the line).
Lokonga showing promise.
Tavarez can cross.
Bellerin is a lost cause.
Arteta's tactics still questionable.

We defo need a CM.

 

[2Smokeyy]

**** off I've been in hospital all day.

You good bro?
