Trossards been very quiet too. Wouldn't mind Martinelli on to give us something different in the second half.

Don Pacifico you're talking about him as if he didn't score that goal last season versus Chelsea. He can hit a football.

He's scored quite a few screamers and had some huge ones for West Ham too, but he's no Lampard mate. If Rice tries a rib-high Zidane volley from five yards outside the area it's going way high.

Edit: should add it's still a pretty small matter, just in my opinion he shouldn't take those on.

we're playing games with basically the same team as last year, and surprise surprise, getting similar or worse results. you can't have a non-existent left side year on year and do nothing to address it

    Burnwinter it's another aspect of the attacking set up that we've neglected or chosen not to improve and leaves us far too one dimensional.

      No card for Bassey. We got 2 players sent off for the same shit

      Once again only Arsenal get booked for delaying play

        We're creating nothing

        They got their goal and can snuff out the middle like other teams do. The horse shoe is out today

        We are suffering with no left back. I'd get Tierney on

        The worst thing about this is I don't see much in the way of options on the bench to change things up. Maybe swap MLS in for Jorginho and push Partey into midfield?

          Goodness. I didn’t even realise that ESR was playing

            This i match shows the kind of limitation for Arteta's management, his way of playing and squad building. His set up too restricted and I don't think good enough to win titles with due to it being so limited to everything being perfect and when it doesn't quite click it's very hard to get the outcomes we need

            awooga83 I like what Havertz does but we need at least one more star forward with "main character energy" to get the most out of Havertz.

            But then that's why second rank on the summer wishlist was a left winger with pace to burn who was world class one-on-one and could strike it (first was Zubimendi).

              Qwiss can't see Martinelli doing much against this backline but forgot about Nwaneri. 🤞
