Arsenal - West Ham, 28 of December @20:15 UK Time.

IBL

Kudus is the one that got away from us.

Fuck off Trossard - you’re getting on my babalons

HomeSteak

Martinelli is playing against us, he needs to fuck right off. Trossard taking a shot there was criminal

Claudius

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert easy way for our players to go on the outside? Make them switch flank from time to time.

lorddulaarsenal

Martinelli off - Nketiah on. Move Jesus to the left

Trossard off - Smith Rowe on

Do it now.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

lorddulaarsenal exactly my thoughts.

Segway

Horrific first half.

Don Pacifico

Segway honestly think we've played worse in the first part of the season and won games. Not saying we've blown them away, just think we've not been complete dross.

HomeSteak

naz the pass was not for him. it was for the free man not in an offside position behind him. He has done nothing this season to deserve this automatic starting position.

daredevil

Claudius

We've really struggled since teams started using low blocks. We need to buy another technical on the ball player to help break teams down. Odegaard isn't enough. Trossard has been worse than Havertz on his worst days.

Claudius

daredevil we aren’t controlling the area in front of the penalty area. That’s the space from which you are most able to create chances. We park on wither flank, which is much easier to defend. Part of that is driven by losing Partey, part of that is how much territory we have means defenders are ready.

It would be great to vary this with crosses in to a taller centre forward or even a Harvetz.

Gunner89

Get Martinelli Off, Jesus left and Nketiah or someone that can score for god's sake

Tactics

Passing the ball around at snail pace isn't gonna trouble West Ham. We need to up the tempo with our passing

Qwiss

Tactics need to be much more aggressive in how we attack, too much cutesy shit and overpaying it.

Qwiss

If we sign a defender in January instead of an attacker we are fucked.

naz

Our finishing and final balls are abysmal as ever. We dominated and should be 0-0 or even 1-0 up but VAR is fucked and we can't finish.

Zinchenko is down right garbage. Jesus and Martinelli are useless. I'd say that entire left side is so bad right now. Our best chance at getting a result is scoring from a corner then scoring after some pressure

Qwiss

Claudius it's the old horseshoe. We need another penatrative CM with Odegaard. And we need a CF who can get on the crosses the horse shoe creates. A good off the ball mover.

Daz

We can't be losing to West Ham at home with top of the table on the line.

Clrnc

Daz even a draw will kill our title hopes. Can't drop points again after Fulham.

Pepe LeFrits

Trossard and Martinelli need to do an awful lot better in the 2nd half.

naz

Rice has to push up more and take the shackles off in the second

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

naz he was really poor IMO, and visibly nervy by the occasion.

Claudius

I feel for Zinchenko btw. He gets a lot of pelters for a guy where very little of the issue lies and much of our good work comes from. I’ll. write a longer post with advanced data tomorrow, but this guy is actually one of our very best players.

lorddulaarsenal

Claudius yep he helps construct moves. It’s who he’s passing to is the problem

flobaba

Claudius our defensive issues (few as they are) stem from our full backs. Ben White and himself. And Ben White is basic. Zinchenko is worse. He's shit.

What he does for us in transition/attack shows nothing to disprove this. I don't give players who are supposed to be 2-way players a pass just because they perform one aspect of their job at a decent to good level.
