Match Reaction v Leicester (away).

[Letters]

It’s the same story across the other teams pushing for top four. In general, we aren’t scoring less. A slightly worrying stat is we are taking less shots at goal, but within that we’ve become far more efficient in taking our chances based on goals scored vs shots taken.

Weirdly, I noticed that Utd have conceded even more than us

We aren't that attacking either, we need a strong backline because sometimes 1-0 has to be enough. You win the league with a tight defence and goals from multiple areas of the team. We have 2 goal scorers and not much else. Our 3rd highest scorer has 6 goals this year of which one is leaving, and the other 2 we wouldn't be fussed if they left (Ozil, Mukhi). Then Welbeck is on 5. He hasn't played since November.

This.

We have barely played good attacking football on a consistent basis since the 07/08 season. We have been labeled as an attacking team because of how we played more than a decade ago.. I find it tedious to watch our boring sideways passing football. We seemed to have found some sort of magic offensively earlier in the season but its gone back to shit backwards and sideways passes since then.

There were flashes of brilliant play this year. The goals of Leicester were amazing, that's how we used to play.
But agree that sort of play has been rare.
Recently we've been back to that "we could play till midnight and not score" style of play. No real threat up front.

This was our most shambolic and embarrassing display of the 3 lamentable losses in a row. Absolutely no pride at all. The away supporters must have felt like being garroted as they left the stadium. Bet the Turnips in the team didnt feel so bad.

I meant Leicester at home. Second half we were brilliant that evening.

Agree with this. We barely get anything from our midfield, too many wishy-washy types with no defined role or strengths.

Iwobi for example is the archetypal Arsenal player of the past decade.

Absolute nothing player. If he had lashed in that first opportunity at 0-0. We might have had a different game. Instead a fumble and his usual hang dog look afterwards. From Pires to Iwobi.....oh how we have fallen.

This has been the biggest puzzle for me over the last 2 seasons. Da fuq is that about? At home our record is close to title winning - even in these bonkers seasons where City and now Liverpool are basically winning almost every game.
Away from home it's mid-table stuff. It's pretty pathetic, I haven't checked but we must be the team with the biggest points difference between home and away records.

It's an awful mentality that the team have.

There is zero consistency and they are up and down like a yoyo.

Baffling tbh

I agree, Iwobi is massively overrated imo.

Overplays the ball time and time again, doesn't pass when it's obvious that he should, dribbles the ball when he doesn't need to and out of his own possession at times, can't shoot for toffee (always weak easy to save stuff), etc....

He is the new Walcott - without the goals

Is he overrated?! Everyone on here seems to hate him
