    Arsenal are winless in their past 26 Premier League away games against fellow 'big six' opposition (D10 L16), with their last such victory coming at Etihad Stadium in January 2015 (2-0).

    Five years since an away win. Referring to us as being ‘fellow’ big 6 is becoming a bit of a stretch. There is nothing big about this Club any more.

    Stats like that are not that instructive though. We beat Leicester away when they won the league.

    However you certainly can say we shit the bed away at what would be considered our rivals.

    Fair point Maccy.
    However, it does open up another issue. While we can say over that time period, we were part of what would be called, the big 6, we are trending away from being considered a big club in terms of results.

    Recently, we were an undisputed part of a duopoly, then the Top 4, now we are hanging on to a big 6 tag.

    What a total shit show.
    This team is a fucking embarrassment.

    I can take losing to Citeh, as it's them after all, but how about actually trying? show a bit of fight, hell, even just play fucking football!!

    We didn't even try after 10 mins - this season is done.
    Arteta still doesn't have a clue.

    Why play Aubameyang? The guy hasn't signed and clearly doesn't know if he wants to stay, so don't play him.
    Xhaka picked again - glad he's fucking injured, that should see him out till we can sell him.

    No Pepe, No Martinelli, No Torriera, Ceballos on the bench - just fuck off you greasy haired, Spanish twat.

    Ozil was left out for tactical reasons apparently. For the love of god can this guy just be let go?

    No idea why Pepe or Martinelli weren’t given any time.

    Arteta.

    Looking every bit the rookie.

    Apparently Luiz's red card is being appealed

    I think we are really missing that array of technical players we used to have in abundance and perhaps take for granted. There just doesn’t appear to be any chemistry in this team, no guile with how we move the ball and construct passages of play, no one any good in tight spaces either. It’s all just very ponderous and easily telegraphed by the opposition.

    Even the games we win are often chores to watch.

    If we have any money to spend I would put an attacking midfielder on the list along with a decent CB.

    Like I said, we are less than the sum of our parts. I don't think our squad is that bad but we are not a good team.

    We can't get a shot on target, the football is boring (gone back to the Wenger days) and his lineups and tactics are shocking. He's also playing Auba our best player on the wing.

    All in all shocking performance from him, yes he hasn't got the best squad but he certainly should be doing a whole lot better than he has been doing, it's been very disappointing, another sub-standard manager.

    The manager came in to change things, we've been pretty average from day 1 of his time here, we should have been alarmed when he came out and said he wants to get the spirit back from when he was here in 2016 (why would anyone want to?), so far he's done precious little.

    On top of that he's brought some shockers back into the fold and made them regulars, Xhaka, Mustafi and of course his insistence on playing Luiz at the back, not being funny but the guy has been a liability at the back for years, if you're to play him anywhere play him as a DM.

    He's also playing Aubameyang, our best finisher on the wing.

    Pretty shocking state of affairs really, his post match interview wasn't much better, didn't want to come down on his players and was defending Luiz, in fact he wanted the Arsenal board to give this chump a new contract.

    What a mess, the way I see it he has to take blame too, nothing he's done since he arrived has made the slightest difference, we haven't move up the table, we were humbled in the EL and the style has got if anything more dull as we not struggle to create.

    Should have never been appointed, was a mistake to take on a rookie all day long.
