An audience with Eddie Nketiah - Sunday 4:30pm GMT London

Mirth

Don Pacifico The other negative is how easily we let Nunez go on the corner.

Don Pacifico

Mirth but the positive is he's as bad at finishing as our players.

banduan

anybody, please, tuck one in.

Burnwinter

If you've ever wondered what theory other than bad luck could explain having a high xG and fuck all in the way of goals to show for it … may I present that half of football

Claudius

Burnwinter look up xI - expected incompetence.

Don Pacifico

KingslandBarge strongly disagree. Think Jorginho has significantly improved our attack by the way he's maintained and recycled possession. We've struggled when pressed the last few weeks and look comparatively breezy against one of the best pressing teams in the world.

KingslandBarge

Don Pacifico Mirth Not suggesting Jorginho has been poor in any way. I don't know if he's needed though. I don't care who is eventually subbed.

Pepe LeFrits

Don Pacifico We've struggled when pressed the last few weeks and look comparatively breezy against one of the best pressing teams in the world.

You'd think we were playing Luton judging by the reactions on here. We've been very good and are unlucky not to be ahead.

Claudius

KingslandBarge Jorginho had the only decent defense splitting pass the whole half. Otherwise a lot of timid build up from the backs especially when the ball gets to the flank.

Havertz.

daredevil

Mirth

This entire season is starting to resemble that game.

Last season felt like we scored more than we should have. Somehow, someway we always managed to score. I think we've regressed to the mean quality of our combined shooting abilities.

Burnwinter

Pepe LeFrits I like Havertz and at least some of the brickbats he attracts is because of how good he's been getting into the right areas … but he's really gotta stop playing like his feet are stuck in molasses

Gunner89

If arteta doesn't get a striker, he's wasted the next 6 months

Ridiculous

WE have plenty of players who are there to be sold to make room

flobaba

Gunner89 I think he has to as well.

The question is is it worth the 70-90mill or however much it might cost to bring in a striker who would get you perhaps 10-15 goals by the end of the season, maybe open things up a bit more for others in the forward line.

70-90mill which would, in my opinion, significantly increase our chances of winning the league, and put us firmly in back in the big time conversation again.

It's a no brainer for me.

GooneriC

It looks like we are playing the same way in every position. Even in attack we are playing safe ball. What's Arteta done to these players ?

Don Pacifico

KingslandBarge I think shifting Havertz into midfield will be a downgrade in control and creativity.

flobaba

Another story of how the xG is going to tell us everything is fine, and that the boys just need to work on their finishing, yeah?

Clrnc

Jorginho takes too many touches and way too safe. Problem is we don't have anyone else on the bench to replace him.

Liverpool bench is worse though. Looks like a u21 bench

Don Pacifico

Pepe LeFrits yeah. I get it though - finishing is woeful across the board and the concern is that we've seen how this story ends a few times already this season. But none of them are proven goalscorers so hard to feel like they're underperforming.

Gunner89

Pepe LeFrits

No they are not

He had one purple week where he scored in 3 consecutive games but by and large he should be in double digits for the season

We need a killer.

He knows....

KingslandBarge

Qwiss I am really not and you think thats running the show? Ødegaard is his handprints over every key chance.
Don Pacifico Fair

Burnwinter

Claudius Lulz I hope that's real, because if it's not it should be 😆

Coombs

Nketiah or Jesus wouldn't have even had half the chances Kai fluffed. He's the single biggest factor in the appearance of more chance creation so far this game, with Reiss coming a close second. Even Elneny would look more progressive with this kind if movement in front of him.

KingslandBarge

Coombs hard disagree. hard.
