  • Arsenal v Newcastle 7 January 8pm Carabao Cup Semi Final 1st Leg

Bet on us losing to nil at 8-1. First time I ever bet against us but this was the most obvious result ever and the win has softened the blow of this defeat slightly.

Let's just get a fucking attacker in this month and try to salvage the season. Without one we aren't winning shit.

This was all predictable with the lack of depth and awful summer transfer window which didn't address the needs of the squad. 

    this is what saka-less arsenal is. we heaped way too much responsibility on him while stockpiling defenders. now we're in the shit

    Not good. I did warn you guys football is not linear and that we wouldn’t get 20 shots at a winning the title.

    We had our chance last two years. When it’s on the plate you take it. There’s no guarantees in football.

    I’m afraid Arteta will end up being a Poch 2.0 aka nearly man.

      You're not gonna get many clearer proofs we need to sign forwards. Feels a bit despondent at present in general.

      Knew we'd lose. Just off the plane and I immediately came here to write another I-told-you-so into the void:

      Our summer was a failure.

      The difference between a Havertz and Isak couldn't be any clearer. Isak could receive the ball and do something with it, in space or while being pressed by Gabriel and Saliba. Havertz usually bodged his first, second or third touch or dribbled into dead ends.

      Gazza M if only the impact of having no centre forward in the squad could have been foreseen somehow.

      I'm just relieved after realizing this is the Carabao Cup semi-final. I really need to shake off this hangover!

      Sicario2 - Tier 1 Pochettino went five years without a trophy. Arteta entering his fourth now but was backed to a completely different level

      We're not doing anything in the market until we've found some other Cuesta 2.0 teenager to hire for Edus job. If we ask Arteta to sign someone this January it'll just be our 7th LB/CB hybrid ffs.

      We had Sterling on the bench for 90 minutes yesterday ffs.

        jones We had Sterling on the bench for 90 minutes yesterday ffs.

        That he can't even be considered in these situations just highlights the ridiculousness of the signing in the first place. We paid no fee and only half his wages but somehow still got robbed. Has there been a more pointless signing since Park?

        a lot would be spoken about the front line, but actually we lost at both ends of the pitch. Neither goals are forgivable, that our defenders can outnumber their attackers yet still concede.

        lorddulaarsenal said it before, Martinelli should be our sub LW. What's even worse is he's our best available player in the front 3 currently. We need so much more in attack to compensate for the way we set up.
