Luton - Arsenal, Tomorrow 05 December, 20:15 UK Time.

I realise I am in the minority or even alone on this one, but I blame White and only White for the third goal. Raya is at fault for the second one.

goon

swider

Bizarre take. White may not defend it well but it was a shot from a pretty harmless position.

HomeSteak

swider it wasn't a easy shot to save, but not an impossible one either. But the second goal is 100% on him, and not the first one either

Qwiss

swider White could have done better but he sends Barkley into a very wide position where he puts in a nothing shot right at Raya. It's all on Raya.

Clrnc

Just look at Havertz reaction when Rice scored. Proper gooner

KingslandBarge

Someone feeding into Alan Shearer's earpiece to ask Rob Edwards about where the additional minute of added time came from. Sick fucks.

Clrnc

HomeSteak why do people keep saying that. It was an easy shot to save, awful technique to let it through like this. Often even see goalies using their legs in such instances

Clrnc

Hahaha Rice went silent on the post match interview as he was too distracted watching back at his goal.

"I am going to watch it at least a hundred times more when I get home" 😆

Don Pacifico

Clrnc Rice really is one big, adorable geek. 😂

The studio on the channel I'm watching can't believe that Gabriel didn't get a penalty and all agree that Saka should've gotten one.

Thought Kiwior should have gotten a penalty too. I definitely expected that none of these would be penalties, though.

goon

Clrnc

The ball is literally right at his foot. If he stood still it would be a save.

RocktheCasbah

Qwiss I wouldn't go that far tbh. I like Aaron, but he's by no means irreplaceable. For whatever reason, Arsenal thought - and probably still think - Raya is the guy to do it. It seems clear now that he isn't, but that doesn't mean the thinking wasn't sound.

Clrnc

Rayaed

Pepe LeFrits

Clrnc Yeah, didn't feel like it but like the Wolves game last week, that was another one that we should have won be quite a few goals. Criminally bad defending, but offensively we played well. Four goals, all of which were against an opponent fighting hard so no stat padding, and forced a few smart stops from the keeper too.

Don Pacifico

Clrnc also worth pointing out that we scored two goals more than our xG. Chance creation should not have been quite so tough.

DiabyKungFu

Extremely lowkey subplot of tonight: we made up 2 points tonight versus last season on "equivalent fixtures". We drew the ~~judo~~ football match at Southampton last season.

Clrnc

Jesus and Havertz is secretly building an awesome partnership. Both created spaces for each other to score today. Without them both goals won't happen. Lovely to see

goon

Clrnc

Yeah. It’s basically all the things we assumed we’d see. The late runs into the box, playing off Jesus and playing like an 8/10.

IBL

Thierry make the good and obvious point on Prime about Raya saving that Barkley goal of he had just stood there instead of going down to save with his hands, feels so basic

goon

Don Pacifico

We created 2.8xG.

Qwiss

Don Pacifico they need to add pens you should've been given to the xg stat for it to be accurate in terms of chance creation

QuincyAbeyie

goon I've seen models vary from 2,4 to 2,8 for us and 0,67 to 1,2 for Luton. Regardless, even 2,4 (plus the 2-3 pens we should've gotten) should be enough for a routine win against Luton. One model that gave 0,8 for Luton also said that the chance of scoring 3 from 0,8 xG is 2,1 %.

This match was only exciting due to freak incidents, admittedly of our own fault.

Clrnc

Ian Wright finally saying it albeit indirectly that Arteta have created the goalkeeping situation when it was never an issue in the first place.

RocktheCasbah

Clrnc yeah, it feels a little disingenuous of Arteta to come out with the "so happy" stuff given that the only reason he's being asked is because of what he said when Raya came in.
