Xhaka has been shite since the first whistle.
Xhaka makes it obvious how to telegraph his pass.
Fornals shot, fairly comfortable for Leno.
Pepe takes on the whole WH team, then runs to Selhurst Park and takes on their 11 too. Decides not to shoot though.
Eddie gets in but shoots at Fab. Offside anyway. Bit lazy by Eddie there because Pepe had held the ball for over 2 days but still Eddie remained offside.
Auba fucks up a very favourable counter-attack.
We are diabolical on the break. Miss pass or wait for the other team to catch up is our usual fare
Antonio fluffs it. :lol:
Nketiah should have left it for Pepe ffs :doh:
Hammers should have scored there. Antonio is really, really shit, but he's having so many chances he's bound to pub one in.
Everyone is in the pub.
Auba has been so poor also. Really sloppy half of misplaced passes and slow, slow, slow tempo. Hammers there for the taking if we step it up by 2%
Defence really poor too. Antonio has kept us in the game.
Was a dive by Eddie.
HT 0-0
RUBBISH!
0-0 HT.
Our players just love to half arse it through matches.
Nketiah with a dive when he needed to put his foot through the ball. To round up a dismal 45 mins
We would be greatly improved with the deletion of Ozil.and Xhaka in the 2nd half
Some people paid to go and watch this.
Them :pal:
Ozil? If not for him and Ceballos (50% of the time) we'd have no forward play whatsoever. Such negative play from our backline (excluding Saka). All they do is slow everything down and allow the opponent to recover their shape, usually at a leisurely stroll.Quote:

Sokratis has almost completely killed us on the right, just passes back to Luiz nearly every time
Xhaka doing his best to give a goal away, and generally we're just not being quick enough
Hector should come off the bench for the second half and Martinelli not long afterwards
Pires doing the half time pitch interview :bow:
Get him a pair of boots.Quote:

Clearly Martinelli's not working hard enough in training... :rolleyes:Quote:

Come on Arsenal FFS.
Have less of an opinion about Xhaka tbh although I hadn't noticed him being particularly useless. It's just been a nothing performance all roundQuote:

That's so poor by Xhaka. Fucking useless.
Woeful from Xhaka.
Fabianski didn't even let us score. Ingrate.
Saka. :bow:
Was Eddie a bit slow there? Or else he didn't see Fabianski coming.
Few little tentative more positive signs.
Antonio again, but Leno saves. If we keep giving him chances...
We wont give 2 fucks until the Hammers score
Leno slam dunks the save to deny Antonio.
Laca coming on to miss a few sitters. Guess it will be Eddie making way.
Nketiah off, Lacazette on.
Hopefully Lacazette remembers he is a footballer.
