Arsenal vs Everton

Tactics

Again our attack is simply not good enough. At least nowhere near the level needed for a title challenging team.

I think we should consider switching to a formation with 2 attacking full backs (no inverting nonsense) and 2 upfront (Saka and Havertz).

Qwiss

Claudius as if thats going to make the difference on a day like today.

I miss Aubameyang.

Claudius

Qwiss there are weird relationship issues all over the field. They look like a brand new team at times. Our best player Saka was isolated over and over which is not helpful

Panda

The struggle to score is real again.

How are we back here again sighh.

I don't like how isolated the wingers are up against 2 men with no support.

Clrnc

Claudius yup continue missing him Tomiyasu Zinchenko Calafiori. All of them will help us score tons of open play goals

Claudius

Clrnc actually they do. A lot. See above.

I don't think you get how teams work. We have a finishing problem but today wasn't like Monaco where we missed gilt edged chances which points to a lack of finishing. We barely created anything today. Having Gyokeres feeding off scraps in the box with 9 players surrounding him isn't going to serve him all that well. Our build up play was slow and ponderous and that leads to an attack that has to face a set defence.

If we could make only one signing, I'd prioritise a creative midfielder who can unlock a defence and share the burden with Odegaard.

Qwiss

Claudius teams have injuries. Ours aren't that bad at the moment. One of the first XI is out, maybe 2 if you want to call Timber a sub.

Clrnc

Claudius Stop. With all these convoluted excuses. Injuries, not Arteta players, squad not good enough. All bullshit.

This is not a new problem. Our open play goals has been consistently down for 3 years now. We have many games where we play like shit created nothing and escaped with a penalty or a set piece goal, last minute goal. Sample size is big enough. Even with all the players you want to see.

The way we play is the problem. Not the players. This is against bloody Everton.

Qwiss

Claudius if White was fit and Timber was injured you'd be telling us how we missed his contributions to the attack instead.

Claudius

It's like attackers receive the ball from the fairies in heaven when they score their chances. Has absolutely nothing to do with the players creating for them that are all within the defence and midfield.

Lukazan

Mirth Odegaard was shite today overall but even with that being the case, he's still capable of moments and had shown some too. This game was clearly heading in the direction of a goal, if there was to be one, being from one of those moments that only really Odegaard is capable of. Well Saka too, but the problem is that he's likely to be the one on the end of it. You want both on the pitch when you're needing a goal. Horrible subs.

But fuck it. Ain't wasting time letting this shite get me down. Can't score against fucking Everton at the Emirates. Embarrassing stuff

Qwiss

Oh and thats another game against the idea that Declan Rice is a 6. He's not. Every time he plays there were are fucking useless at getting the ball forward.

Coombs

Qwiss we were much worse when he went off.

The ball was forward plenty, they just didn't score. If Rice isn't a 6, we should sell him.

Dom

Martinelli, Trossard, Havertz, Jesus and Sterling...

We're in a fight for the top four. Given what's at stake this summer's transfer window was the most catastrophic one I can remember since 2009 (when Wenger's sole signing was Vermaelen).

2015 or 2016 when we only signed Cech

Gazza M

Big Willie yep I compared this summer to the cech summer. just like then, it's anyones title. anyone but ours, serial bag fumblers that we are

Big Willie

Coombs we were much worse when he went off.

That's more because Ode went off than Rice.

Qwiss

Coombs we weren't worse really and Jorginho was actually getting the ball into players.

If our future is with Rice as a 6 we are doomed.

IBL

Yeah I think today is the depressing realisation that we're not winning the league, this should be a bread and butter 3 points with whatever team we put out but we're not even threatening to score.

Claudius

Qwiss actually our injuries have been quite bad. We are constantly churning the squad beyond the usual tweaks.

On strikers versus fullbacks - what’s the point of having Isak on that pitch today if the ball isn’t even getting to the penalty area. We have build up problems and in the 25 minutes I watched, our fullbacks gave us the square root of fuck all.

Coombs

Big Willie that doesn't negate the point

FEBravo

Why did we even sign sterling if you want play him when you’re desperate for a goal?

Watched the end of pool and rhea were threatening more against Fulham with 10 men than us against Everton with 11. It’s embarrassing

Clrnc

FEBravo according to xG they had a higher xG in the 8 minutes of added time with 10 men than we had in the entire match.

Coombs

Qwiss like I said, then Rice should go and he was a bad signing. He is not an attacking midfielder and never will be.

Also, I completely disagree. Jorginho was fucking garbage.

Dom

lol, editing out my own stupidity
