I dont know where we go from here

We looked totally shot to pieces today. Outright panic across the board from a position of total dominance.

Not uncommon to see a problem like this during the run in, but in January??

Seeing Arteta panicking was the most worrying. Those substitutions were crazy.

4 subs in one go is a manager that's lost his bottle. I don't think he has the cojones for the job. Have you noticed how frequently our players stop with the ball at their feet and start looking around like a feckin meerkats?

It was evident in the Liverpool game but the panic truly descended today. Arteta lost his head.

I think we're done, to be honest. :-(

Teams who win titles dont panic like that, and certainly not in January.

Happens every season under this manager unfortunately. Think we can just turn up and play to. ?Not lose? not good enough.

People overlooking the league cup. We?ll be lucky to win that. Think we are getting carried away.

Everything is winnable if we keep our heads and play with a bit of belief. There are not great sides in our way in any competition.

The players dont believe they can win this title and I have to say I probably agree with them :-(

Aeteta needs to change things up a bit. I dont know how, but he has to shed the caution and make these players believe they can do this.

I wonder if he enacted the full hair dryer treatment today, or whether he put a protective shield around them in the dressing room, telling them all that he loved them while sharing out the jammy dodgers..

He needs to look at himself first. This is on him.

We've shown elements of this sort of caution and indecisiveness all season, particularly away from home. We are the best side in the league but we play like we are scared of everyone.

The changes were worrying. Putting Saka on the left. ****ing ridiculous. Forcing Rice to play deeper- ludicrous.

They need to sit down and look at this game and admit where it went wrong and why. If you want to be champions you need to act like it, think like it, and play like it. We don't.

That was mental, knew we were in real trouble then.
