Arsenal v Chelsea - Tuesday April 23rd - 2000 PM GMT KO

Don Pacifico

How have we only had one more shot on target than Chelsea? Not clinical enough in either penalty area.

goon

What’s up with the crowd btw? Really odd atmosphere. I was there last season against Chelsea after we had ballsed up the title and the place was bouncing.

Don Pacifico

RocktheCasbah utter madness. Expect a strongly worded tweet directed at PGMOL and a threat to 'explore all options'.

goon

Joe Cole reckons it’s not a red because the referees need to understand that Chelsea were just frustrated. These guys headed too many footballs.

Mirth

goon you’d think someone whose career was shortened by injuries would have a ounce of sense

Claudius

We need players who behave with hunger around the penalty area. Trossrd has that desire. Havertz too many touches. Shoot first ask questions last

Mirth

Don Pacifico Defensive chaos - seems to be a function of our CBs continuing their shaky vein of form and Partey not properly performing his screening responsibilities (maybe not fully coordinated with Rice yet given their playing time together?).

This is the key takeaway for me - I’m not surprised we haven’t made the most of our attacking opportunities but this is the most open we’ve been defensively for a long, long time

goon

Mirth

To be fair Chelsea do this in every game. Take a lot of risks and turn the game into a game of basketball. What we need to do is take advantage and be more ruthless going forward.

Don Pacifico

Mirth it's not even like our CBs have been positionally suspect, they've just been second to a lot of balls or not tracked the runner. Feels like mental fatigue.

If Tomi/Timber are fit next season, we probably should be rotating them (plus Kiwior) in at CB every now and again. Can't assume they'll survive next season starting every game.

Lukazan

Game will suit Jesus I think.

Pepe LeFrits

Think it's more to do with Chelsea being able to break our press and get down the sides repeatedly.

Chelsea are a pure transition team that would be really dangerous with a better goalscorer. We were always going to be conceding chances against them. But we need to be better in attack., the shot or final ball is still letting us down.

Qwiss

RocktheCasbah having a weird game. Done some great stuff but lost the ball cheaply a lot too.

daredevil

I love how the commentators keep saying that we would go 4 points ahead of Man City if we win, whilst completely ignoring Liverpool who are a point ahead and would be 3 points behind.

HomeSteak

Partey is dusted lol

daredevil

Partey has had time in the sun. Bring on Jorginho.

Mirth

Partey isn’t up to speed yet - his passing when he has time is great but not otherwise

USArsenal

Ohhhhhh Rice.. damnit.

Meatwad

that pass from martin was an indictment of our striker. he chose rice.

Mirth

Meatwad had the same thought

banduan

c'mon lads shots on target
