Arsenal v Southampton, 18:00 GMT (16/12, Amazon Prime)

I thought he'd have til the end of the season but this can't continue.

turning on auba is ridiculous, we'd have been relegated twice over last season if it wasn't for him

and he's being asked to play alongside rubbish like Willian, Nketiah and Laca

I don’t believe Arteta has ever known their strengths. He has his way of setting up and expects them to slot in seamlessly. Shit coaching if you ask me.

At least Wenger bought players to play his way. It wasn’t successful in his latter years but there was always an identity.

btw we've no chance of changing things in this game if that starting 11 can't do it - we've a load of absolute shite on the bench

He’s a good player in a poor team.
I actually think we’ve got a pretty decent squad of players but they’re not a team.
Few moments of quality in that half but so much of it is mediocre.
When’s the last time we swept forward and really looked scary.
We are so easy to stop and while we don’t leak goals like we used to, the occasional mistake really hurts us when we just can’t score goals.
I wonder when the last time we went this long in the league without a goal from open play.
Has to be way before Wenger. Not even sure Graham managed a run quite this bad.

The best change that could be made at HT is a managerial change.

Right, second half.

I feel this is going to be the turning point in our season. Why? Because they’re really good in training.

pepe puts it out of play - good start

Agree with pretty much everything people are saying. TBF I've never rated this manager ager. Don't get why he plays people who have failed yet refuses to try youngsters. He's farmed off decent players like Martinez, the young Greek CB and won't try Ozil or Saliba, but persists with the likes of Xhaka, Kolasinac and other tried and tested failures. He is a piss poor manager and Citeh must be pissing themselves.

We're on again, although I don't really see the point.
