ESR and Balogun are quality. Why do they hardly get a chance? Arteta is a fucking idiot.

I reckon he rates them, he’s just too cautious. It goes against his nature to be bold. He will sit there the night before he has to pick the team and decide that Laca and Willians experience counts for anything.

What you on about

He played Leno in every competition last year until he got injured. Or do I have to explain the clown?

Sicario don't normally watch all our matches, forgive him.

Look at Martnelli v Pepe. Almost like chalk and cheese. Pepe can’t even dribble past players properly anymore. What’s his use?

What the fuck was that goalkeeping performance?

The goalkeeper coach should be fired for this recommendation. Arteta should have played Leno. You played him against Liverpool, what’s the difference tonight?

the difference is now he wants to focus on the league and this was viewed as a distraction. back then we had a chance.

Martinelli showing his true character, love him

Whatever happens with our manager Saka, Martinelli are reasons to be cheerful. Hopefully ESR and Balogun can join that list.

Nothing to lose by playing them. What's the point of banking on experience. 

no 4D chess, just rank mismanagement when you see balogun, ESR and saliba getting marginalised for aging dreck with one foot out the door

Imagine thinking goalkeepers need rest.

I am all for rotating keepers when we have 2 quality ones, but one is blind if they watch this Icelandic fisherman in training and thinks he is anywhere near ready to start a game in professional football.

I’ve watched every single min this season and had a season ticket last year.

Was watching Arsenal when you were in diapers.

and Willian. If he's not injured he needs to move up. Maybe we send Saka to the right and have Martinelli left. enough muckery. 

Mahrez taking the piss out of Runnerson

Said he was so shocked by his positioning that he thought he would move but he didn’t... but he let it in anyway

Then you would have known what Swider was on about though.

i criticize arteta as much as the next man, but it looks like he was throwing the game by playing runnarsson. he wanted out of this competition. if leno plays a blinder and we advance to the semis that's two more games (it's still two legs right?) he doesn't want to play.

That explains why you do not remember last season . Jokes aside he was happy to bench Martinez last season and play total amateur in cups this season, wtf?

Hahaha.

Don't think I have ever seen a keeper intentionally stand at one post and let the whole goal open only to concede at that spot he is standing. Shocking positioning but punished by his shit handling.

I almost feel for Runarsson but then you remember what a decent wage he’ll be getting

This club is unreal

The scouting report above actually nailed it even before he signed for us. He was so obviously bad

This whole situation is horrifyingly bad. We can't do a damn thing right.

Any chance he saw Martinez get thrown in the deep end after Leno went down and decided he’d better make sure his keepers get match practise?

Runnarson didn’t have too much to do in the Europa League games, so maybe he thought this would be the last chance in a while to see what this guy’s got.
