Arsenal's tepid approach at home is not new and has been costly or almost led to more dropped points 1-1 v Brighton 4-2 v Leicester needed two injury time goals 0-0 v Everton 1-0 v Ipswich 1-1 in the FA Cup v Man Utd 0-2 v Newcastle 2-1 v injury ravaged Spurs 2-2 v Aston Villa 0-1 v West Ham

I have to say - I noticed the minute Ben White came on - how quickly he advanced on the overlap, and what panic and chaos he caused. He was playing at a different speed and intensity from the off. Purposeful.

I’m more annoyed by the wastefulness of Rice and Odegaard, to be honest. They are truly offering not much more than an opportunity to advance the ball from the back to the corner flag. Put them in goal scoring positions and majority of the time they push it out wide. The incessant loopy lobs and

It seems everytime we have to wait ages for a game it is always a sucker punch. There goes our unbeaten run. Horrible.

How Don Banana is allowed to take a minute for each goal kick is beyond me.

Our build up play makes my head explode. What happened to our directness at the start of the season?

Out of respect, today’s starting player ratings will be anonymous. #Arsenal Player 1 : 2/10 Player 2: 2/10 Player 3 : 2/10 Player 4: 2/10 Player 5 : 2/10 Player 6: 2/10 Player 7 : 2/10 Player 8: 2/10 Player 9 : 2/10 Player 10: 2/10 Player 11 : 2/10

What a waste.

Better pass this back to Raya. Don’t want to take any chances.

This season has just turned to shit. Can’t complain about that red card.

The buildup between Gabriel, Timber and MLS in that turnover was really poor.

That was just fucking awful from MLS. Lucky not to get a red there. Idiocy.

How about forcing our ATTACKING midfielders to actually attack. Shoot. Take the responsibility. Partey. Rice. Odegaard. I’m looking at you. Stop shirking responsibility.

Throw on all the left backs??! That’s our strategy?

I just have to remind myself that I felt this bad all the way to the 80’ last week. Resigned myself to us being toothless. Suddenly two teeth sprang up with Merino. Turns out they were buck teeth though, and the brace needed a brace. Now I have that gnawing feeling they need to be pulled.

That Bowen goal has been coming. They had a break earlier where their cutback didn’t quite reach the attacker, and we had three defenders completely oblivious to it.

Timber is an unnecessary speed bump in our attempt to move the ball around. Every time. Hangs on to it, taking away Nwaneri’s tiny advantage. Then feeds it back towards goal when there is unnecessary pressure on the defender receiving it. It’s the strangest thing. Awful habit.

Odegaard so guilty of fucking around on the edge of the box. Rice wasteful with chances. Timber not working well with Nwaneri. #Arsenal shoot themselves in the foot. Very frustrating.

Kinda sucks that the #UCL draw means there can’t be an all-English or all-German final. Of course, Barcelona v Madrid still on the cards… What are the odds of all 3 English clubs being drawn on left bracket? Liverpool definitely with the easiest looking bracket. Some tasty matchups though..

I've just been watching Max Dowman clips on YouTube. I have no idea what his dominant foot is. Left foot? Wallop 🚀 Right foot? Wallop 🚀 This kid is giving me serious Kaka vibes (at 14/15yo 😲) – silky smooth! He's deffo getting first-team minutes in the League Cup next season. PL? 🤷🏽‍♂️ 𝙃𝙖𝙡𝙚 𝙀𝙣𝙙! 🤌🏾
