We play football tonight(Tuesday). Away to Lens, 20:00 UK Time.

The French curse continues.

USArsenal

Both of their goals were extremely good shots (and so was Gabby's).

RocktheCasbah

Clrnc seen it so many times before. I don't think Lens particularly deserve it, but the game has been there to be won this half. The persistence with players who offer nothing is starting to grate.

And now Emile & Reiss get on. 🙄

Panda

What a shit night.

Big Willie

RocktheCasbah Arteta's waiting for Lens to score before he does something. Standard Arsenal away in Europe management.

That's been our standard of play for most of the season. Games are way too tight, we are controlling most of the ball and possession but hardly creating chances from open play all season unfortunately.

Clrnc

Big Willie Iirc 1/3 of our goals came from set piece, 1/3 from Penalties and the others from open play. Really quite worrying we don't create much at all every game

swider

This one is 100% on Arteta, seriously, half of the team looked half asleep from the first minute.

Gazza M

lame defending down the left side by havertz and zinchenko. dunno what possessed arteta to replace xhaka with guy with so little defensive intensity and task him with protecting a part time defender like zinchenko.

Coombs

Ricky1985 praising Rice when he's not been great, and arguably could've done better on the first goal, as well as the fact that you don't see how stupidly good Ben White is.

Coombs
I like Ben White a lot, but he's been poor this season for me. Too many wingers have come out on top already. Laing took him to the cleaners last time out in the Champions League, as an example.

And I think Saliba and Rice have looked head and shoulders the best players on the pitch. Barely a mistake betweem them, in stark contrast to pretty much everyone else in a green shirt.

Coombs

Don Pacifico I mean, if we can see it, what the hell is Arteta doing? Idiotic management.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Time to invest in some power players. Can't be arsed with many of these huff and puffers.

SimplyThePest

These guys are 15th in Ligue 1 too, bloody hell.

Clrnc

SimplyThePest They are not too bad though, averaging at least 1 point in every match so far.

Qwiss

Why is Vieira still wide? All he does there is pass back to midfield.

Mirth

I expected us to be caught out in Europe because we lacked experience but Lens should have been a straight forward affair. Doesn’t bode well

Kel Varnsen

Hate how slow and hesitant we play. We'll create a bit of space and defensive instability, and immediately turn around and pass the ball 25 yards backwards (Vieira just now). Just awful football.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Kel Varnsen does Arteta even know how to rectify that tendency?

Clrnc

Ffs Galatasaray missed a pen to go 3-2 up...

Mirth

Clrnc managed it anyway

This is the worst I've seen us play all year

Calendar year to be clear
