Arsenal fan. Honest to my federation.
Looking back, we don't lose that game 80% of the time but our lack of offensive threat is concerning. We've spent a lot of money on Eze, Gyökeres and Madueke and none have stood out. Our best lineup doesn't include any of them, most probably. That's worrying.

Strange to see Ødegaard getting the flak when the replacement was as bad or worse. The manager was at fault more than any player today.

Watch Arteta play the first team against Kairat to instill some belief and confidence.

How many minutes have we seen Eze and Ødegaard play together? They're supposed to be the creative fulcrum of the team and how are they supposed to have any chemistry if they simply don't play together.

How many times have we seen Saka whip an unstoppable cross off his left to save us? Arteta decided to shift our best and most clutch player to accommodate Madueke.

This is on Arteta all the way. He panicked and made some stupid subs to take our technical quality to the floor when we should've composed ourselves and dominated them with the ball. Then he moved our best player, completely nullifying his game, without any proper plan.

FFS ARSENAL.
KEEP CALM AND DON'T DO ANYTHING STUPID AND A GOAL WILL COME.

Get more setpieces. I'm more confident of us scoring from one than whatever we've shown in the open play.

We've been playing like it's the injury time since 50th minute and the manager has to bear the blame.

Subs for subs sake from a manager of Arteta's caliber is just so poor.

Think the manager jumped the gun with 4 subs. We needed more composure and technical quality. He's gone the opposite direction.

We're losing all control of this and the manager taking off all the technical players is not helping. We have plenty of time and playing a basketball game isn't our cup of tea.

Never thought we'd allow 'Dorgu' to score. Fold the club now.

The initial problem was us retreating into our shell after we score a goal. Now, it's like we lose all composure. Why is it so difficult to find the balance here?

Zubimendi for all his qualities isn't one who knows when to speed up or control the tempo. Ødegaard has to step up here with his experience. Tell the team to calm down and keep possession when needed.

Why do we shit the bed so often? It's just a mystery to me. For a manager who's hell-bent on finding every possible advantage, this should be the top of his list as of now.

How about keeping some possession lads? Lads?

Just remembered that we had Timber at LB the whole game. Bloody hell.

In the second half when we were lacking creativity and control, why didn't we have Eze and Ødegaard play together? Why are Arteta's subs always straight swaps?

In another timeline, we don't care about hurting Gyökeres' feelings and play Merino as the main striker and are long way ahead of the chasing pack.
Being genuine: until Havertz is fit to start I'd start Merino upfront.
