URZZZZ Mentioned at the start of the season they could be viable title candidates, not sure they’ll hit that target, but they look a lot more solid this season

Partey is already a contender for signing of the season, him and Elneny completely bossed Pogba, Fernandes, Fred and McTominay today and Gabriel looks a steal too

Not convinced by their attackers thought, reckon they need a lot more from Willian and Lacazette


Ha-mes Rodriguez is signing of the season hands down.

The massively overrated Mikel Arteta being found out at Arsenal. Just because he is Pep's mate it doesn't make him a good manager.

Playing your top scorer on the wing is an absolute masterstroke it has to be said, the fact he`s only got 2 goals this season tells the story, and one of them was a pen, 9 goals from the team in 8 games (and 3 of them were on the first day) and not one from open play in over 4 hours.
I agree.

Not sure thats the biggest issue. The bloke can't play a settled team, players can't build confidence and settle. Must be awful for a player, especially the younger ones.

I think he’s someone that will require a bit of a time and patience and in his defence, he won more trophies in half a season than Poch did at Spurs in nearly 6 years, and there’s plenty that laud Pochettino

But I think I get where people are coming from with the criticism of him though. To keep playing Aubameyang on the left is unforgivable, especially when it’s only to accommodate Lacazette who I’ve never particularly rated

And there’s a distinct lack of creativity in midfield. We won’t see eye to eye on this but they desperately miss a player like Ozil, someone to break the lines. Willian is OK at doing this but OK isn’t good enough for a team where Arsenal want to be

Ceballos? Don’t rate at all
Xhaka and Elneny? Again, they’re both OK players who have their use but think Arsenal need more there
Partey is a decent player but won’t solve the lack of creativity problem

Granted they had 10 men for almost a half (arguably created more in that half though) but Arsenal look so insipid at the moment, really thought they’d have a good season after their start but they’re badly deteriorating

Willian isn’t working for them, Pepe is erratic, Ozil has been sidelined, Willock and Nketiah aren’t good enough, Lacazette is past it and Aubameyang is struggling, simply don’t have enough in attack, even if they have improved defensively

Arsenal fans calling for Arteta’s head already. He needs time

It does very much seem to be team Ozil vs team Arteta at the moment

Think it’d really help if someone came out and properly explained the whole situation as the divide will only grow if results don’t pick up

Arsenal are so bad under Arteta. Just because he is a Pep clone he gets away with it. He should be relieved of his duties.

Continuing to fall off the rails after a promising end to last season and a decent start to this one

Would like to know what Ceballos and Willock offer? Weak, timid, powderpuff midfield, constantly overrun, don’t create, don’t play between the lines, awful although with regards to Willock, he has time on his side I guess

Need Partey and Elneny back, although I think Elneny was on the bench today, surprised he didn’t start unless he wasn’t fully fit

What a bunch of huge bellends. So satisfying to see Arsenal letting them down week after week.

Desperately lacking midfielders at the moment, Elneny seemed to have been playing well at the start of the season but doesn’t seem to be playing much at the moment

Back to the tried, tested and failed duo of Xhaka and Ceballos, no where near enough creativity

Will say it once, will say it again. Ozil isn’t the answer to their long term problems but the longer his omission is “ignored” the more pressure Arteta will be under, it really does need to come out in the open
