    Said few times this season I don’t like this front 3. There’s no real pace in it. Diaz is all tricks but no real outright pace.

    Jota and Gakpo are just nice ball to feet players.

    It seems trying to do what we’ve done past 3/4 weeks where Gomez is more tucked it and rb is wider. Problem is Trent wants to come in now where as Bradley wanted to stay wide.

    We've had some poor openings to games this season, but this is up there with the very worst.

    Arsenal have got Jorginho in CM, one of the slowest players going and we can't get near them. :huh:

    we are playing like we are all back from a 3 day bender after beating the chavs.

    we can't even get a line.

    just let havertz go and tuck in tight.

    but for the love of God tell gomez to stay wide.

    Second half Gomez have to come off because of the yellow card.

    white took 30 seconds over 3 diff throw ins so only took until the 4t time to book him for taking too long.

    would have been sent off in the first few days of the season by now

    Taylor just somehow not giving fouls? gakpo dragged to floor and defending still had hold of his shirt, dangerous area so no foul.

    This really isn't the game for him

    He's not fully settled yet and hasn't gotten up to speed for games like this. Elliott should have started.

    our midfield is shameful.

    that 3 times arsenal have had raya roll ball to Gabriel then back to raya who pumps it at havertz and our midfield doesn't bother get back in do the headers konate wins are all being picked up by arsenal.

    Martinelli kicks it out of plays and falls over. Foul…

    Taylor just an awful ref. No kind of consistency with level of contact allowed

    You told me last week that’s not midfields job and it’s Konate (Quansah last week) fault for heading it back into middle and not out wide and clear

    the literal only joy we have is playing wide down right.

    need to keep them honestly over on the left so there's even a tiny bit of space.

    Arsenal getting a lot decisions that should be fouls, we touch them and it’s a free kick
