Such bullshit. Nothing about the Sheffield United challenge.

Luiz was bad beyond belief in the first half. Worst performance from an Arsenal player in a long time.

Gabriel was just as bad over or under hit so many short passes its a wonder they haven't scored from it. 

The whole teams been poor.

I disagree that Eddie has done well. His positioning hasn't been great. Willian was expecting for a run to the near post by him and he was still stuck in a bunch of defenders. He's not finding the right spaces. When it's a low block it's less about the through balls it's more about quick movements and passing.

We have not had penetration in attack for years. Always trying to pass the ball around but that's really easy to nullify. Much harder if you have runners constantly moving and players who can run with the ball with real threat. We have none of that so easy to set up against.

Arsenal have been like this for the last 4-5 seasons. There is no change and the players not good enough to so this successfully (very few clubs outside elite would be)

Do what successfully? Is there a "this"?

I want to see this:
Leno
Bellerin Luiz Gabriel Tierney
Ceballos Saka
Pepe Willian Auba
Lacazette

Gabriel has been our best player, possibly along with Tierney.. quite comfortably too.

Think Tierney-Saka-Auba axis has been decent. Agree we need Pépé and Bellerin to combine the other end and stretch SU.

Bellerin needs to do what Tierney does. Push much further up the pitch and play like a Winger when we attack.

Hope Arteta read them the riot act at HT, lets see a more motivated team second half

that should be worrying because speedy's right about the dodgy passing (although his defending has been great)

But he's been up an around the box more often than Tierney...

There was literally just 1 pass where he gave it away to Ceballos, which he immediately won back.

Slow horizontal passing is just a staple of Arsenal matches these days. Sad.

To rely on possession football game plan. Barca at their peak could because they had the quality to turn that into threat. Most other teams just hold possession aimlessly.

We need to spark the right hand side to life. I would bring on Pepe. But that still doesn't solve the Bellerin / El Neny problem.

These idiots still moaning about that nothing red card. They can eat a..

Wait, Sheffield united broke their transfer record for Brewster? A player with minimal premier league experience. How is this happening.

It's a fucking conspiracy and I'm not even joking.
