Dismal performance, win aside

[WES]

I?m afraid I have even less confidence after that that we?ll win anything

And I?m not sure I understand how Arteta has allowed it to get to this

Ah well, should be an interesting summer

Welcome to the club, Wes. It isnt fun in here

Sorry, I have to say it.... was no better or worse than the vast majority of our performances over the least two seasons.

Boring as ****. Clueless when confronted with a plan they weren't expecting

With reference to our last two games, we lose that game with Kepa in goal

Yep. Spot on.

We made our errors in the right areas today. I'd rather we stop making them but you cant have everything

Decent away performance against a side that haven't lost at home since August. Having Raya back was more important than Rice, imo.

A win is a win when you?re playing that poorly. We just have to hope it inspires confidence going into the next game.
If we can get Saka and Timber back to some kind of fitness the odds will improve.
Never thought I?d say we?re missing Merino but his contributions were the difference in a lot of games, even though I never saw him as a 90 minute player.
Trossard really has crashed and burned this season. Arteta needs to think more about rotating Martinelli with Jesus along that flank as the lesser of two evils.

We just need to beat Bournemouth. However it happens. Whatever it takes.

Merino is a big miss. His ability to actually perform to a reasonable standard in a number of roles has been invaluable in the last two seasons.

Was it playing badly though? I mean, I guess it depends on your benchmark for good and bad. It certainly wasn't free flowing, attacking football with the handbrake off. But if you think Arteta is going to play like that, with this team, at this stage of the season in a game like that, then you are setting yourself up for disappointment. I have no doubt that if Arteta wanted to go out all guns blazing, he could set the team up like that. It is a choice, and one based upon data and statistics that guides him to approaching games like this, or most games now at the moment, in a controlled manner with low risk. The more attacking you play, the more the risk increases and the more you fall into the hands of lady luck on the result.

If you think we're going to go to Maine Road in a few weeks and play ANY different to last night, you're dreaming. 0-0 all the way with the potential to nick a win. It's how he has approached all of the big games ALL season and it's how he is approaching basically every game now due to the importance at this stage.

Daveed won us that

I've been saying since Jan he's our player of the season. I actually felt guilty for it - it was when I read an interview with Dec saying he's up for the ballon d'or and I thought "But he's not even the best player at Arsenal, Daveeeed is."

Seems now others are coming 'round to my opinion.

And in the spirit of Rich apologising to Vik, can I apologise to Kepa. I wanted you to start the final as I thought you'd deserved it. I was wrong. **** off back to Chelsea you ****. I'd rather have Alex Manninger or a 66 year old John Lukic for his third stretch. Why oh why oh why didn't we get Sir Chez? Loved him.

Everything finally went wrong for us when we got rid of Sir Chez for that Cech twunt.

[John Bunnell]

We have been playing this way pretty much consistently all of 2026 you all realise this right?

But for Raya's thumb, we would have lost 1-0 last night. That late save from the scuffle follow up.

We were quite fortunate last night. Didn't deserve to win.

Gyokeres should never have been offside for the Zubimendi goal

Agreed, and i think it was quite embarrassing that the linesman didnt give it. He was miles offside

I knew immediately and couldn't believe the flag didnt go up.

I was a bit surprised they didn't have a look at the Havertz goal, it looked mighty close.
