Arsenal - Brighton | Sat, 3:00pm

Lokonga wasn't bad tbh but he also wasn't constructive enough. Laca and ESR were awful, Saka still not at his best. The only hope is that our best player so far has been Odegaard, which is usually a good sign.

I always see you saying this but it's not as simple as that. We can run as much as we want, if we really want. Fact is there's no space for us to run because Brighton once again nullified our spaces and they pass and move too well.

Exactly the same as the game at AMEX where they completely dominated us, just no finishing touch there

Let's just ignore that the midfield structure has been decimated by Partey's absence. If Brighton came to the Emirates a month ago they would have got their arses handed to them.

But hey-ho, we are where we are.

letting auba leave and not signing a replacement is predictably going to cost us top 4

They look like absolute garbage defending set pieces, because they have a shit hack coach. We should go out to win corners, Gabriel dominates them in the air.

Stream died just as the goal was scored - has it been allowed by VAR?

Last weeks first half was worse.

Not for me, Palace actually played well, put it up to us and made us play poorly. Today we're at home and Brighton haven't had to do anything. Completely insipid performance

Last week was at least away against a team in great form, this is at home to a team that scored one goal in two months and lost 6 out of 7.

Back to Arteta's very worst now. No one can trap a ball, pass more than five yards, press or evade the press, everything's static. Lose today and it won't be CL but ECL.

Palace was a tough game away from home. The result can be excused notwithstanding the performance even if it's matches like those that say most about a team and the manager. This is hard to rationalize though. Very hard. This Brighton team at home in our chase for CL. We are just awful.

Palace strolled over us and won 3-0, that result should never be excused nor tolerated, it was horrid.

Agreed, Palace would have given anyone trouble the way they played, Brighton hasn't even been that good.

What does it say about us if their shit hack coach has them dominate most of the first half against us? Not just against the ball but also with it.

Qwiss

Anyway it's only a goal. If we have anything about us we'll come out and win this game.

They way we looked in the first half, that's a big 'if'

Their shit hack coach always does well against us with much less resources. Strange that.

Anyone beating us just run and aren't anything special. Says everything about how easy we are to nullify in that case.

Agreed. It also depends on the changes that should be done for the second half. We are carrying too many dead-weights

Definitely an easier match, we aren't quite as sloppy though.

It says we're shit.

On another note, I may be wrong but Cucurella could be playing in a bigger team.

But I presume that it doesn't say anything about our coach?

Seriously though. Chelsea now 5-0.

I think the worm has turned for us, and it's going to take some time to find confidence, rhthym and a working system. Not that we have the time for that, but I don't think it's going to come by magic. Partey was the heart and brain of this team. And momentum is the golden word in football.

Is he out for the whole season?
