How is Mustafi consistently in the team? There has to be a youth team player that can at least run fast right?

We were on a really good streak and then we lost Rambo. There is no confidence in the side right now. We can't even bother to really show up against the mid-table teams in the league, so playing against a top 4 la Liga team doesn't bode well.

Pathetic. At least Wenger's teams only had one collapse a year around Christmas and usually the team finished strong enough to give you some ****ing hope for the next. This feels like we need to sign ~10 new starters to be somewhat competitive.

And I'm not saying Wenger should have been kept. But this is one of the worst run of performances I can think of in the last 25 years

Arsenal has become a slump buster. Ugh.

The fact that we still have a chance at 4th after everything is ridiculous

It really doesn't speak well to the quality of the EPL this season, does it?

Which is crazy because it very well could end up with 4 English teams in the CL and Europa league finals

More than anything this off-season I want a new Def coach. Our problems can't all be related to the player's. The only 100% common factor between Emery and AW is Steve Bould. Think it is time to move on. AW has his faults but can't help but wonder if we could have held things together longer had he replaced Bould with a better coach 4-5 years ago.

Just back from the UK.

Did the Emirates Stadium "Legends Tour" this time, tour guide was Charlie George.

I'm not gonna say it was 100% worth the added price to get a tour from George, but it was my birthday and it was pretty damn close.

Wasn't able to make an Arsenal match but it wasn't one of our best two week stretches of the year. Watching in some pubs was good enough.

Maybe, but Bould is only in his 7th year as a first team coach and the defense was pretty darn good for much of his first few years.

To be more serious, yeah, Bould may need to go. But this team has had more problems than what Bould is responsible for.

The weird formations and the stagnant offense and effort goes higher than Bould.

Arsenal hasn't made the announcement yet, but BBC is reporting that Aaron Ramsey is officially done for the year. Definitely feels like he was the heart of the team this year and we've fallen off a cliff since he was injured. Bummed that this is how his Arsenal career is ending.

Suarez has also been ruled out for the rest of the year with a groin injury. Waste of 2+ million to bring him here on loan and I see no way that we'll purchase him in the summer.

Big match tomorrow so hopefully we'll turn up. Playing against two former players in Gabriel and Coquelin. It would be really nice if Gabby makes a mistake like he used to for us.

And now I'm sad. Dude is a legend in my book for the club. A big game player with an incredible engine and we are gonna miss having him.

At least we are running a back 3 today

Cech, AMN, Mustafi, Sokratis, Koscielny, Kolasinac, Xhaka, Guendouzi, Ozil, Laca, Auba

I figured we'd just play down a man from the start. Not like having 11 in defense has helped us in the past

Beautiful quick goal

Lacazette again. Header barely gets across goal line. Excellent response since Valencia goal.

We've looked solid to good on offense from the first whistle. It's the D that gives us issues.

Also, Kola has been dog sheet on offense today. All of his crosses have been horrible.

1 away goal should wrap it up as long as we don't have a total meltdown.

Totall agree! Will still be a nervy match. As you alluded to earlier, intensity is huge.

I swear the **** that media complains about. I thought after we gave up the goal, we played really well yesterday and had a professional performance. ESPNs headline from one of the pundits:

"Arsenal's performance didn't fill me with joy"

**** man we've gotten stomped the last three matches, not losing fills me with joy.
