I think we're owed a few bad ones where the keeper bails us out tbf.

I've been critical of Kante being selected seemingly no matter what but ofcourse we'll bring him on when defending a lead.

Is it me or is there some sort of trend for late 20s/early 30s guys dying their hair bleach blonde? Emerson, Aguero and I've seen it a few times on TV aswell.

I'm more worried about the bedwetting if Reguillon has a better game tonight than Chilwell, will be excruciating.

So it's taken 3 days after he dragged us back from 3 down for your vendetta to resume!

He was good against BHA and Liverpool but still nowhere near his prime self (in my opinion). It's no coincidence his best games came in games we cede possesion, he can still be pretty useful in them but in games like WBA where it's up to us to take the initiative he looks lost. Rice seems more suited to this system as he will actually properly sit in and will know when to drift in between the two CB's to cover the fullbacks bombing on.

He isn't our best player, Kante of 2020 is streets behind Kante 15-18. I probably wouldn't sell him right now as even with Rice we will need another defensive minded midfielder in the squad, however he should be a horses for courses squad player going forward.

Out of interest what do you feel about that now? Arteta tried a similar approach against Liverpool and got ripped apart in a way we/Frank didn't against 10 men let alone 11.

What the hell, football conspiracy theory's have just hit the next level...

Barkley for me and you've summed up why, he can keep himself fit and do a decent job tactically.

The guys on AFTV are blaming Bellerin Going to be funny watching them make excuses for him as they went all in on the delusional "he joined us because we're a bigger club" BS they won't give up the narrative without a fight.

Arsenal completed their lowest amount of final 3rd passes since opta records began.

@Manaare you going to critisise Arteta like you did Lampard last week? We weren't getting form apart like this with 10 men let alone 11!

Also it's quite ironic that Arsenal fans have been trying claim we'll ignore our youth now when they signed Willian and gave him Saka's place in the team!

They were shit against us both times in the league aswell. Had like 5 shots over three games and scored 3. Last week battered by West Ham and shithouses a win with their only shot of the second half.

These lot are bigger shithouses than Pulis' Stoke.

What's the odds on Arsenal not having a shot tonight?

I personally believe hes preparing his excuse just incase Lampard gives him another tactical spanking, a bit like the " only finished 6th because I prioritized Europa" line at the end of his first season at United.

Will he leave it to chance? They needed the opposition to get down to nine men to even get past the first qualifier and the Europa (odds wise) is probably he best shot at CL football next season. I can't see him chancing a scratch side Vs Maccabi. It would be hilarious if he was this petty but I can't imagine it.

Too far one way causes the virus to spiral out of control while too far the other causes mass poverty amoung other grim things. Every country in the world are trying to strike a perfect balance between the two, some measures will be right, some wrong. Half measures is the only option until this thing does one.

Three hours could make a big difference if hypothetically there's an average of 1 infection every 40 pubs between 10-1, that alone would stop over 1,000 new cases. We can't go back into full lockdown nor can we go back to February's world, until a vaccine or it runs it's course a balance between trying to slow the spread and actually having a world to come out of this too has to be struck, the pub curfew is seen as one of them, time will tell if that proves to be the case.

They were, but so were WHU and Bournemouth last season when they walked away from The Bridge with comfortable clean sheets. That's what i mean, we were heavily reliant on Pulisic and to an extent whoever was selected out of Oli/Tammy being bang on form. Whenever that wasn't the case even a stagnant Bournemouth side with a woeful defensive record missing most their first team were comfortably keeping us at bay.

The most annoying thing about the error is it's given the PL proven is everything lunatics some material to feast on.

He'd be an awful fit unless Arteta does a 180 on his brand of football.

I'm not put off because he won nothing, i'm put off because he's shit in the market (arguably worse than Conte), his brand of football is nowhere near as amazing as people make out, he struggles to consistently beat the lesser sides (the main reason they lost out to us and especially Leicester) and there's huge question marks over his ability to keep his cool when it truly matters.
