Brighton v Arsenal, 5.30 PM on Saturday Oct 2

I think Lokonga might need to be hooked at half-time. He's been so so bad

BWooley

How on earth does Lallana have so much space in our penalty area?

Lokonga, in particular, looks lost out there. All over the place positionally.

Whatever him and Tierney are trying to do isn't working. Need to go back to basics and just play their positions properly instead of swapping cos it's not working.

It's so bad. It's clear as day that Arteta is trying to do something too cute

Missing Xhaka massively here.

Partey with a shot that isn't in row z

flobaba

Partey really needs to put one of these in.

KingslandBarge

finally we get it to Saka out wide in space and something happens. Our forwards need to offer us the outball.

Qwiss

Good effort. Saka and ESR the only ones playing well as usual.

We're missing him so much

Gazza M

they're out passing and outtackling us way too handily. we need half time badly

spacemanspiff

We're making them look a lot better than they are. We should just switch to a back 3 and match them up instead of giving their wingbacks space to push up - of course Tomi and Tierney will struggle with that

Tbf to him all of our players looked over the place. Even ESR and Saka don't know what to do. Odegaard absolutely lost. We are simply out played and losing the tactical battle.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

For once score a goal Partey you useless twat

Coombs

Auba is so goddamn lazy sometimes.

Hate to say it but I think we might be.

Players have all been poor with the possible exception of Saka and White.

Klaus

62 percent possession for Brighton. We're going to run ourselves tired too quickly while chasing the ball at this pace.

IBL

Partey needs a lot more shooting training, certainly getting plenty of opportunities

He’ll win some fouls maybe, slow things down a tad and give the midfield a bit of a breather, but he’ll also commit fouls and break down our attack. We need to be able to handle teams like this with this group of players.

We seem to do this to every team that isn't sp*rs.

I don't agree. Lokong is so off positionally, he's costing us in both defence and attack. It's like playing with 10 men.
