Shocking.
At least we used to have strikers that bailed us out, now not even that.
Awful football, worse than under Emery.

Can't believe Vardy came on and scored.
This season has all the promise of 92-93.
Not as thoroughly enjoyable as I remembered.
Breaking: Frank Bough has died. This match is the last match he ever saw.
Does that mean he's a martyr?Quote:

Not if he simply blew his brains out after the 987th backpass to LenoQuote:

First half I thought we were good. Created a couple of half chances, Lacazette was being...Lacazette though.
Second half...nothing.
And then, as so often, we got done by the one breakaway and decent chance Leicester had.
Even then...no real response.
Our lack of creativity is getting silly now. Hopefully Partey will provide more there when he gets into his stride, honestly didn't notice him today.
They're showing the goal. The "defending"
I'm afraid absolutely nothing has changed. Not if that can still happen.
This is all on Arteta. the guy is frankly clueless. Still plays the same dickwards that fail us game after game. Definitely looking forward to OT next week
Yep. We were very unlucky. Dominated the first half. Lovely silky football. Very unlucky not to be 5 or 6 in front. Then we dropped a bit in the second half and our defenders accidentally left half a mile of space for the opposition to play a simple forward pass, an unopposed cross and a free header. As you say, if only we had an ounce of creativity we might have looked like scoring if the game had gone on for another hundred years. It's something to build on. Progress.Quote:

Wenger IN!
These 2 clowns in the midfield(Xhaka and Ceballos) got me missing the days of Denilson and Song.
What happen to football that central mids can't actually central mid things, madness. Just useless these 2.
And again, AMN proved he is flat out better then Bellerin.
And so far this season Elneny has proven to be more effective then those 2 clowns.
Is he not watching these games, or only focusing on what they do in practice?
We didn't concede 13, so I'm happy.
VAR is just a better way to cheat.
Awful, as predictable as night following day.
Just seen the goal again, Mustafi is caught ball watching for the 1000th time in his Arsenal career. Can't wait for the likes of him and Kola to leave next summer. Utterly useless.
Don't count your chickens.Quote:

At least Ozil will add a bit of creaiv...er, oh.
The football has never been great with Arteta but we’ve managed to get by with being more organised which has given a bit of an illusion of improvement, however the bottom line is that results have mostly been the same mixed bag they were before he arrived. Anyone got his league record? Would like to see it because I’m sure it doesn’t make for particularly good reading.
There have been plenty of narrow wins for us which could have gone the other way and it’s no surprise the games we do lose are also in the same vein. That’s just what happens when you place all your stock in what happens at the back and neglect how you can do some damage in the final third.
I think it’s been evident for some time now what kind of coach Arteta is. Safety first, methodical and basically dull as dishwater. His supporters will say oh this is what Arsenal needed which is true to some extent but results aren’t much better, so it means nothing. He’s not my cup of tea but of course I respect the fact he won the cup playing like this and he may even do the same again this season, but I’m not going to pretend there’s anything enjoyable about watching us play anymore.
Oh well. On to Old Trafford for another sit deep and hoof masterclass. Maybe we can pub something if any of the forwards can be bothered to turn up.
Come on, you know that just isn’t true.Quote:

Quite clear that putting Vardy on would have tested the defence at some point. Said defence just opened up like a whore’s jaw.
I watched the last time Arsenal lost at home to Leicester. It was 1973, 0-2.
Arsenal were shit then, as now. Improve? They might, but I’m not expecting it for a long time.
Wonder if arteta is up to the job of making us a CL team. Defensively we have improved alot but at the expense of attack. It seems either or at the moment. Anyway still plenty of tricky games coming up united leed villa wolves. Although unitrd havent won at home this season.
We can finish 4th with a bit of luck but are we any better than the teams were competing with? Not sure there’s much evidence to provide encouragement there.Quote:
