Attack needs to step up but midfield not helping them at all.
Most interesting thing about that match was our free role LB. We had a LB on the loose once Calafiori came on 😆
Big Willie as the game went on it was clear he wouldn't be used. Arteta came for the draw and got it.
Big Willie I’m willing to bet you he plays more than 100 minutes. We are basically 5 rounds into the season and the main players are being ramped up. The biggest thing for a player that age is literally being on the bench often. Go back to the back end of last season and see how many times players like Nelson and Kiwior weren’t even on the bench. Be on the bench, and then take it from there.
Claudius he'll play more than 100 minutes. Better start vs Bolton next week and I want to see him get significant minutes from there.

In the League/CL? Doubt it. You never know but it won't be anything significant. Certainly less than 500mins in all comps and that includes the League Cup which you'd hope/expect him to start.
flobaba A difficult decision was made to replace a popular and previously well performing player in goal and there's one or two other positions where a similar decision needs to happen. Martinelli's spot looking the most urgent at the moment.
Disappointing result but Raya's extraordinary work kept it to a draw, so not too demoralising.
I'm pretty low on Martinelli. We need him to start producing very soon.
We look pretty shit going forward without Ødegaard that is for sure.

Yep. Don’t underestimate how cut throat Arteta is. Martinelli is finished here.
We will need to get creative about midfield. I liked some Of Trossard’s work. He might be an answer at left 8. But so many pieces look disconnected without Odegaard. We basically need to rebuild. But I have faith

Said it before but if we are planning on playing Havertz in midfield I'd rthater it be paired with Trossard than Jesus as they interchange up top and at least have someone focussed on end product which Jesus doesn't look like doing. He didn't have a single shot tonight did he?

I hope you’re well.
naz we are done bro.
Big Willie let’s make a bet now. Nice steak dinner next time I see you. I’m actually very confident he will, barring injury.
Qwiss Arteta saving him for City.
Odd game, we didn't look too troubled by them but we didn't really do much to threaten them. If that's a deliberate tactic to hold back when City round the corner then maybe you can accept it. But I don't think that's how Arteta is sending the team out which potentially makes it more of a worry given our away form in Europe. Anyway not disastrous have to win those games that favour us now.

The problem is, i think most of us saw this as one of those games that favored us...
invisibleman18 --- keep JokerStreams in your reserves. It's often not HD, but the streams seem to survive.

500mins in all comps? I'll take you up on that, no doubt.
Big Willie people can't complain about your finishing if you don't shoot.
Jesus and Martinelli were so good right after Jesus signed for us. It's a Brazilian mediocrity vortex at present.
Burnwinter Luckily Gabriel is holding the Brazillian superiority card for the both of them.
Big Willie Gabriel is one hell of a player (and the highest scoring centre half in Europe over the last two or three seasons), but I'm not sure he can hold up the sky if he has to be accountable for these two lead weights.
