Champions League: Atalanta - Arsenal @20:00 UK Time

HomeSteak

Gonna be some boring games until we get Odegaard back. No creativity in the team.

Coombs

Constipated attack.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Coombs time for Martinelli to give them the runs.

Panda

Our right side is now as ineffective as our left. Saka's hardly touched the ball.

Jesus has been bad but he's hardly in peak condition so I'll cut him some slack.

Qwiss

Panda Jesus touch is way too loose and that's not usual for him. Definitely rustiness that he needs to shake off.

Pepe LeFrits

Have either Saka or Martinelli run at the fullback/side CB once yet?

Qwiss

Saka is the only real technician out there and it's holding us back. This is why we need to start getting Nwaneri into it more. Or at least get Tross on.

MistaT

Qwiss -- Partey is one as well, but to a lesser extent. It also seems that Partey is one of the only player willing to fizz it into Saka when he's got men on his back as he trusts him.

est

I don't like Havertz in midfield. He hasn't been bad, but the balance of the team is always off when he's in midfield. It doesn't help that Jesus is playing up front either.

Either put Havertz up front or bring in Trossard for Jesus.

Mirth

est, Havertz isn’t playing his traditional midfield role. Last year he was trying to replace Xhaka whereas now he’s replacing Odegaard

In theory that means he should be able to drift into the box with more ease and play like a more traditional number 10 but it relies on Jesus actually holding on to the ball for more than 1 millisecond

MistaT

Feels like the handbrake is on.

Not sure if that's due to wildly out of form players like Jesus, Martinelli, and Rice.....or if Arteta has stagnated freedom to attack. Surely Martinelli can have a go at Zapacosta? or we can find a way to fashion a shot from either Rice/Partey on the box?

Mirth

Sometimes I feel our defenders are technically at a higher level to our attackers

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Mirth indeed but I'm yet to be convinced that the manager sees the problem.

Claudius

Debating bed versus second half

Sicario2 - Tier 1

Only thing I liked about that half was Havertz’s physicality.

Mart will never score a goal for us again.

Claudius

Lamine scored another beauty. Guy is balling in the stratosphere

daredevil

Zidane said selling Makelele was like adding layers of paint to a Bentley after they had lost the engine. This Arsenal team without Odegaard is a V24 engine without a body.

These next few months are going to be a slog in terms of entertainment .

Claudius

daredevil how much harm can the child do. The men are faffing about.

CPM

I thought Havertz was our best player.

Dom

Feels like a landmark day.

First time I've ever dosed off during an Arsenal game. I "missed" the last 8 mins of the half.
