Match reaction vs. West Ham

[Dial Square Old Boy]

Thought I’d pre-empt McNamara That Ghost here.

It’s not yet half time but clear that this one’s already lost (currently at 0-3). Defence abysmal and not for the first time. Side has never been settled, though I concede a number of distant away matches have been played just now. I just can’t see Arteta motivating this lot into any retaliation. Feel sorry for the youngsters in the side, it’s demoralising.

I’ve seen this happen before of course but it doesn’t make the present situation any better.

Now at FT and 3-3 I still see problems. We rode our luck and Lacazette the only Arsenal player to score. Aubameyang? Pfft.

I’ve followed this club for 53 years now. Foe me and leaving the hungrier, younger players aside, I feel apprehensive about any improvement for a couple of seasons at least.

This is why I wait until the match is over before creating them.

Shouldn’t take going 3-0 down to look like a competent team.

A good point but does nothing for us other than consolidate the mid table stench that we can’t seem to get rid of. Not going to move up the table if we can’t win a few games in a row and they seem incapable of that now.

On another note, Odegaard.

Crazy idea. It’ll never catch on.

Good to see some fight but that first half hour was a disgrace.

Not sure what Mikel was thinking but starting Auba on the right was a really poor decision. Think we're at the point now where it needs to be Laca or Auba at 9, with two from Pepe, Saka, ESR and Martinelli on the wings.

Odegaard is an exceptional footballer
