Inta in the ol’San Siro. Tonight

FEBravo

Such a stupid rule

awooga83

Going to be tough to respond to that as we've not been great at the setbacks

Claudius

The whole penalty award system needs a review. Because it’s the most faulty thing in football

IBL

We'd never get that pen in a million years

Claudius

On the bright side, I guess it will force Arteta to do something

Big Willie

Claudius On the bright side, I guess it will force Arteta to do something

Probably amount to bringing on Odgeaard earlier than he'd want and end up injuring himself again.

Qwiss

Claudius probably not.

Clrnc

Big Willie Lol his solution is bringing on Jesus...

Jesus wept

Arteta needs to stop with this garbage football. Get out there and kill them , fed up with the tippy tappy bullshit

MistaT

We don't deserve to be ahead, and as a result you're always at risk for refs making game changing decisions.

But fuck me we're playing some dire football. I get that its a results oriented business, and Arteta believes in control to achieve our gameplan, but can't we see some freedom up top?

Martinelli has been reduced to rubble and it looks to be of Arteta's design as much as his own doing. How that counter ended in a shit cross is indicative of what he's been asked to do.

daredevil

The lack of fullback support to combine with Saka and Martinelli and help them create space to take shots or get behind the defence is a major gap in the attack. We were previously forgoing that attacking dimension by having our FB's invert, but we aren't really doing that anymore or with any real effectiveness.

Qwiss

Once again we get "the letter of the law". If the letter of the law isn't followed for other teams its just "common sense" though.

Clrnc

Football should be really simple. Stop this inverted fullback shit and start overlapping

SimplyThePest

Clrnc totally, if you’re going to play a grindball midfield, you’ve got to let loose elsewhere. Mikel ought to start dressing like an old Victorian-era woman to match how bloody conservative his approach is.

USArsenal

Jesus on for Merino.. interesting sub

Qwiss

Jesus for Merino, at least it's an attacking change

daredevil

Playing attacking football away to one of the best teams in Europe isn't a smart idea.

USArsenal

ohhhhh Saliba.. that was a great wide open chance for a header, and he makes almost no contact.

USArsenal

Timber almost gets caught out, but recovers to nick the ball away

Claudius

Is it just me or did we used to pass the ball with real zip before?
Now there is a lot of slow passing and isolation ball. It’s a defender’s dream right now

Qwiss

Claudius slow passing until we go backwards and launch it. Or slow pass then put in an aimless cross. That's it.
