Merino did pretty well when he came on but I never really believed it would change the game. Ode wasn’t having a great game, but we should have put Ethan down the left or even and maybe switch Ode sides to give him a new perspective.
We definitely don’t mix things up enough or early enough.
Another thing is we had a lot of injuries going into this game. White, Tomi, Gabriel, Calafiori & Zinchenko all missed the game, it’s hard to compensate for that.
Once we get them back we’ll do a lot better but we need to fucking get out act together.
We gave Liverpool an advantage next game. Bassey is suspended
One more thing that's quite funny is that we know we score a huge part of our goals from set pieces and penalties these days, yet we didn't force any corner after 55th min or something. Stupid as hell.
We also need to bin this shitty blue third kit. Lost points at Bournemouth with it and today.
Even if we had won, we are nowhere near dominant for that match. It was all sterile possession
And so annoying because of us they now keep having xGs without set pieces. I guess it shows how toothless we are though in open play
Frustrating match but it’s hard to go there and win especially in today’s conditions.
On to the next. Worrying that Liverpool can go 9 clear again
lorddulaarsenal I wouldn't be worrying about Liverpool at this stage. We aren't catching them.
Sicario2 - Tier 1 What are you on about? You think we're not out 4–6 points due to bullshit refereeing this season? Fucking pipe down.
Seriously pissed off about this match. We did enough to win barring the fact that Jesus, Trossard, Martinelli and Havertz all aren't good enough. And even despite that Saka so nearly won it for us.
It also feels like every match I watch we're getting f**ked over on delays to the restart, niggles and professional fouls, throw-ins and minor decisions throughout.
Burnwinter stop crying and using ref’s as a fucking excuse for us not being up for it this season. Time to wake up and smell the coffee. This is football these things happen. Get over it. Winners or championship teams don’t go on and on about things that went against them. Man up.
I don't think we did enough to win. We can complain about the marginal offside, but we were even lucky for our equaliser. Could have easily lost.
Leno was very comfortable.
Control ball really stifle our attack. Just compare that to Liverpool who pepper opponents week in week out. We need to release some control
Sicario2 - Tier 1 Winners or championship teams don’t go on and on about things that went against them.
The most winning team in history of football refused to attend the Ballon d'Or because their player didn't win it and complained in the media about how disrespected they felt.

"Don't express discontent about events that empirically happened and contributed to Arsenal being 6 points behind league leaders Liverpool having played a game more … instead engage in relentless, histrionic gnashing and wailing and harp on my preferred fixations about how terrible you, me, Arsenal and everyone currently connected to Arsenal are, because that is the only path to victory. Man up."
Fucking pipe down eh?
Unlike some I haven't been bottling, flouncing and rage-quitting the whole season for a couple of months, but hey, "man up" …
