Sounds like Tierney is gonna be out for awhile. Do you use Cedric in that LB spot or do you make the change to putting Saka back there like last year
I disagree. I would put Saka back there. We rely far too heavily on that position to create scoring chances to stick Cedric back there. Saka is much more likely to be overlap with the midfield and play crosses from the position than Cedric.

Well ***** KT has ligament damage and best case scenario is 4-6 weeks before training

I hope for his sake he doesn't end up missing the Euros. Who knows when Scotland will qualify again

I'd sure love to see us play some Ajax total football!

Maybe a precursor to Barca "stealing" Arteta (Laporta has said that Arteta is target #1 if Koeman leaves this summer) and Arsenal replacing him with Ten Hag plus bringing in Overmars in some capacity.

Wonder which version of Jekyll and Hyde Arsenal shows up tonight. Happy to see Auba on the bench and ESR and Saka are back. Kinda wish we'd put ESR in the middle and let Martinelli have the LW

Laca disappoints me so often.

EDIT: now Saka misses from v close in

Has our most creative player so far been Rob Holding?
wangus12
How long do you want to ignore this user?
The answer is Yes. He's Holdinho for a reason.

There really just seems to be no fluidity or chemistry in the squad. Players don't know where each other are or the runs they're going to make

I'd say give me Martinelli for ESR. He's been a passenger

It's like we need to switch the setting to Attacking and use the turbo button more. Or everyone drink a Red Bull at half. I don't really care. Just some energy and assertiveness to take the game to the opponent while on our home patch would be really nice.

Fortunately we're not the only one that can't bury a ball in the back of the net.

As poor as Partey has been I fear losing the midfield without him

Seriously what the hell is wrong with our attackers. Consistently missing chance after chance for over 2 months now

Cedric and Gabriel screwing around with the ball at the back in the last minute. Unbelievable.

So many players on this team do not earn their paychecks

I want to blame Arteta and he does get things wrong occasionally, but at the end of the day it is almost always individual mistakes that cost us. Laca should have scored twice today. Saka should have scored. Cedric and Gabriel ****ing around the back.

Our attackers all have seemed to hit the biggest slumps of their careers at the same time and we always find a way to concede a goal from a mistake. I don't think changing managers fixes any of those problems really. The players have to either get their **** together or get the **** out.

100% agree. I'm not sold on Arteta yet because of some of his questionable decisions but he isn't to blame for the players doing really stupid sheet. I realize that it is not likely or realistic but if I was going into Football Manager / FIFA mode the only guys I would keep on the current roster....

GK - Likely none. Leno comes up with some amazing saves but he sucks playing out of the back and gives up some stupid stuff occasionally. Plus with his positives you should be able to get good cash for him.

CB - Gabi, Holding, Saliba

LB - Tierney

RB - maybe Bellerin because he is HG and has some leadership skills

CM - Willock, Duezy, Partey. Only reason I'd keep Partey is that I think he has been screwed over by injuries and poor partnerships. Would like to see him get some time with a good partner.

AM/W - Saka, ESR, Martinelli (move him to ST), Odegaard, maybe Pepe, maybe Nelson (so he can be loaned)

ST - Balogun, maybe Eddie (so he can be loaned)

I don't get how quickly we bail on PEA. He's not been good but last year we were loving him and praying that we could sign him. Players have off years, I'm not ready to jettison him just yet.
