Jesus! Arsenal got out-shot in a game...again! 12 to Brighton's 20 shots!

Repeated pattern throughout their whole season. Seen it mentioned over and over again by Arsenal Fan TV. They get outshot consistently every game, even by small teams.

You love to see it! 😂😂😂

Arsenal board should be on the phone begging Poch to come in and rescue them. He can organize them in midfield and defense at the very least. What a laughable embarrassment they are.

Champions of the summer 2019 transfer window, remember!

They are a joke defensively. Never mind their rubbish defenders, their off the ball work is so bad!

For all the stick Marina cops (often rightfully) she'd look like someone who would revisionize the game stood next to Ed Woodward and whoever the hell runs Arsenal.

United will probably get back up there at some point as they will throw mud till something sticks by hook or by crook but Arsenal look like they're going the same route as Milan.

You look at that Arse squad and with the exception of their central midfield, that is easily a top 4 side. If they replaced the average set of Xhaka, Torreira, and whoever else they have in there with proper players they'd be good. Would help massively going forward and more importantly defending.

That + a coach who has a clue (like Poch or Allegri). Also saw Carlo's name mentioned. I'd hate to see either of Poch or Carlo go there. They would actually get them back up there I think. Allegri I'm not scared of. Think he could do an Emery.

How could you be forgetting their CB's?

Arguably worse than the nine sides ahead of them and maybe more.

Few years ago I remember when Bellerin was talked about being the best RB in the league and Barca were interested in him and the thought was Barca would eventually get him. Whether it is down to injuries or his obsession into fashion, he is plain average. Defensively awful and physically weak. Struggles defensively against any winger with pace/power. Just a pace merchant and even know his pace has declined too.

Lol

Their centrebacks are pure SHIT. Every single one of them. Luiz has been a joke (we all knew this anyway, I was just pissed we didn't wrench out at least £15m for him, as he had just renewed and Arse were utterly desperate, but good to just have him off the team anyway)

Saliba is on loan for the year, and may help sort them next season, but he is only 18 and will have a steep learning curve.

Tierney and Bellerin are good fullbacks, but if either go down again, they have only utter dregs to replace them with.

Özil at AMF packed it in years ago, and he is basically all they have there. Willock can slide over there, but himself was a teen just 4 or 5 months ago, and is hardly setting the league on fire.

Also, Pepe has been a massive bust at winger. Other than him, they only other wingers they have are a couple teenagers (Saka and Nelson) who may come good someday, but at not anywhere near good enough now.

They are so so not a top 4 squad atm. Miles away.
