Saka

Qwiss

goon I didn't think he was poor too night. Did a lot of work, tried to create moves but being a winger when there's no striker or real attacking mid is near impossible at this level.

Sicario2

Qwiss

Problem is he goes missing in April (ok he scored last week but should have done much better for the last chance).

I knew that pen claim 1st leg would cost us, fucking knew it.

Because we overrate our players.

Everyone of our players are overrated apart from Saliba, Rice and Ode.

Qwiss

Sicario2 apart from Rice? 😂😂😂

Sicario2

Qwiss

Rice has been our player of the season you mug

Qwiss

Sicario2 there you go overrating him again.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Rice has been awful for three games in a row

Qwiss

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert been off it for ages. Definitely not our player of the season. Ode is the man.

Sicario2

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert
Still best player. Gabriel has been dodgy last few games too. Ode only really showed up in Jan.

Rice been main man since August. He’s been over played hence looks tired now.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Sicario2 yep Gabriel has gone back to panicked retard mode. Such a shame after I was thinking he's our best defender since prime Sol.

Sicario2
Rice has been overplayed you say....and what about Saka?

Gazza M

the Rube Goldberg machine breaks down and everyone suddenly looks like shit. when that ball isn't zipping around, when we're not feeding the ball between the lines properly, when that press is half a step slow, all the forwards suddenly look like mugs.

that article about our gameplan being stunted by an aggressive mid block was pretty spot on, and a few teams are cottoning on

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Gazza M this can happen when you have a manager who cares more about off the ball work which is all fitness-relayed over actually PLAYING football. You know, having players that are truly gifted on the ball, creating opportunities, etc.

He learned much more from Moyes than he did Wenger and Guardiola.

Claudius

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert our possession stats, and some of the records we are seeing (I think Saliba hit top 5 passes ever made by a single player in a game ever this season - on that day he outpassed the entire Sheffield United team on his own in a 6-0 victory) completely destroys the notion that Arteta does not care about actually playing football. Friends, let’s stop making things up.

Gurgen

In every thread on this forum there is a massive overreaction to what is essentially perfectly normal.

Lukazan

Dropped the ball there Sicario.

tazmania

He was average at best yesterday and so was everyone else. Anyone putting blame on him alone is overreacting. I didn't think he was good but he also wasn't the worst

Whole team looked absolutely knackered in the first 30 minutes of the second half. Just feels like the squad as currently built just ran out of steam this year in both the league and UCL, which is what competing with nation-states will do to you. Still feel like we are only a couple of players away from being right there at this point next year though.

I don't know. After the season is over I wouldn't be surprised if our points haul in the second half of the season is better than City's while the haul in the first half is worse.

samthegooner

QuincyAbeyie Good point - I bet you will be right if we can finish these last 6 games strong but I'm nervous of what we are going to have in the tank over these last games and that's likely coloring my statement above. Hope I am wrong!
