Playing well. Unlucky not to be winning at half time

[Herbert Augustus Chapman]

Basically what i'm saying is that Eddie is this century's Paul Dickov.

He was absolute gash and very lucky not to get a red. Why Arteta took off Jesus and not Eddie, God only knows.

I really don't see what Eddie offers. at this point I'd rather but Havertz up front (if we have too)

Apparently Jesus was injured

hmm. I think Arteta seems a nervous sort lately.
I don't think we have played particually well so far this year apart from the CL.

I really hope we buy a striker in January. Eddie might be his undoing. and as much as I'd like Havertz to come good he's just lost any sort of confidence he has.

Arteta is being a hard arse on the goalkeeper situation hopefully he can be elsewhere too.

Jesus buries that chance and we'd have cruised that match. Still pissed off about that, bread and butter opportunity for a top striker

would have been game over.

Or if Eddie would have sqaured it to Vieira.

Agree it was poor, and unfortunately that is part of his game- very hit and miss in front of goal.

However, I don't think we would have cruised the game. We are so horribly open every time we lose the ball and almost constantly light on numbers in midfield. If we want to progress this team we are going to have to tighten up our game and learn to manage counter attacks better.

I always had a feeling this season was going to be tougher and it is proving it so far. Looks like we are going to get worse for a bit before improving. I am far from convinced by the way Arteta is setting up the midfield each game. The injuries look like causing us problems in the short term.
