Really was bizarre. Several decisions both for and against us should have gone the other way.

Zubimendi was good too. Eze in the first half was decent too.

I?ve snapped with Gyokores. We played faster in the final third and he just failed to cope. Was hard to watch and thankfully Arteta had mercy on him....

Just watched the highlights. Gyokeres ruined three clear chances and two half chances. I?m sorry but what is he good at apart of striking a ball...

We ****ing better as he is nowhere near the required quality. And hurts our style of play.

Going to need to play Jesus left wing and Martinelli right wing.

His wages are cheap and he offers an option against the bottom 6. Worth keeping for that but if an offer for 35m+ comes then we will surely take it.

At least he tries to make something happen. Game management isn?t a bad thing.

Thankfully the boss got him off. Frustrating as Havertz will need to play 90 against City anyway. Hopefully he has the fitness.

Eze, Zubimendi, the defence has been good. Gyokeres has caused all of our intricate play to fall apart. The worst I?ve seen him for us.

Our front three comprises Saka (free), Martinelli (4million), Trossard (20million), Gyokeres (50million). It's not remotely comparible to them /...

Haaland's singing on bonuses (on top of transfer fee) included 50mill for Raiola and 30mill for his father. It's well publicised that it will cost...

We drew 0-0 there playing with 11 behind the ball last season. We can do that again.

170m barely buys you one good forward these days. What we bought was depth (which was badly lacking last season with Jesus and Havertz missing the...

I believe that with the resourcing comparible to rivals (and we are way, way short of that in attacking areas) then he will play the brand of...

Well really that just emphasises the threadbare nature of our attacking options. A must address in the summer.

I'm not having it that Arteta should go. Not given how far he has taken us. He needs at least two more years. But I really don't think I can watch...

Not management is it, silly man. The medical team advise the coach who can/cannot play. Apparently it was England's medics who identified him as...

**** Sake.

:hehe: I disagree but I know the scene well.

The fans I go to games with unequivocally back him. What he?s done for The Arsenal so far is superb. We truly have one of the best there is.

Arteta is signing a new contract in the summer - it's been discussed by the media a lot. Even if we lose every game between now and the end of the...

You can't legislate for nerves. They do funny things to people in all sports. Look how an England batting order can implode in Australia when the...

Mik Arteta has shown his willingness to adapt over the course of his tenure. He'll listen to his five captains too - and I'm sure Declan is a big...

I have a feeling we might win the Champions League (that has been dampened by the fact we'll face Athletico rather than Barca). I have completely...

Maybe with Saka and Odegaard back we might. But Zubimendi seems shot to pieces. Is Merino back before the season is done? If not maybe MLS gets a...

I'll give him that and would suggest he should take them over Saka - when both are on the pitch at the same time. He has also improved his first...

He certainly did - Two penalties and a goal where he had an entire half of the football pitch to run into unchallenged.
