Another defeat to them.
And the 11th defeat in the league this season.
Only a +2 GD For Citeh in the two games though. Progress.

Tbf they’re beating everyone now and they’be given up conceding goals for Lent.
Bit disappointed we didn’t make them work harder for it though.
It was the same at the Ethiad when we lost 1-0. We barely attacked at all, almost like we would rather lose 1-0 then go for it & risk losing by more.Originally Posted by Letters
It’s still a loss so why not give it a go? What else are we playing for this season? It’s pathetic again from Arteta
If Lacazette starts we atleast get a point. I'm getting so sick off him prioritizing certain players over the betterment off this team.
Auba has been a downright liability when he doesn't score this season. And wait till the 70th minute to make a sub when you chasing the game. I can't anymore with Arteta. Dude is Assistant coach, thats his level.
A loss by a score that isn't humiliating in these fixtures without providing even a glimmer of hope of an upset for five minutes, is a good result for Arsenal these days.
Yay.
A waste of everyone’s time, as it so often is. We could play another 90 mins and not be any closer to scoring.
11 defeats. Just 2 short now of Wenger’s final season.
We’re so irrelevant now when pundits speak about us there isn’t any disdain or frustration. It’s like we’re one of those plucky sides at the bottom of the table who do well not to get hammered. Same old buzzwords like transition and rebuilding. Words we’ll be hearing again next season I’m sure.
Not too down on the result but thought we should have either rotated more heavily or really given it a go, and we ended up doing neither.
Pep seems comfortable not to humiliate his mate which is flattering our recent scorelines against them.
Benfica was always the bigger game this week, just hoping we can find some extra energy as have looked leggy the last couple of games.
Completely agree - just add up the bad decisions:
Saka and Pepe on the wrong sides of the pitch (and Saka playing every minute of every game)
Playing Auba three times in a week and correspondingly not playing Laca as you say
Playing a clearly not-fit Tierney
Playing Xhaka instead of Ceballos
Not playing Martinelli
Playing Bellerin ahead of Cedric
The only thing you can say is he didn't bring Willian on but that's only because he realises the fans are at boiling point over it
Citeh just had to show up today to get the win

Auba is pointless in a game like that unless you’re getting it to his feet in the box. He cannot for the life of him hold the ball, dribble the ball or pass it. A wasted player out there today. Lacazette can at least get the ball to stick.
Bellers is awful and has been for some time. Whatever he used to bring is long gone, and his reading of the game is bang average. He’s no better than Eboue was.
And the middle is so slow. The transition From midfield into the front is so fucking pedestrian. Mari and holding were better at steering the ball into the channels quickly.
I like Mari by the way, and Holding (whilst sometimes out of position is decent too.
Have no idea why Martellini is getting snubbed
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
