Brentford vs Arsenal 01.01.2025 KO 17:30 GMT

Mbeumo seems to be getting the best of Caliafiori in all the one on ones....beginning to wonder what he'd do to Lewis-Skelly.

MLS is a bit better as a defender than Cala IMO

[WMUG]

Three wins, six draws and two defeats

No melodrama involved I'm basing it on statistics. In Arteta’s tenure as coach we have come back from conceding the first goal to win a game away from home three times and only once in the last almost four years (roughly about 30 times have we conceded the first goal in that time)

The "at this stage" is the key thing. I'd be interested to see how those stats break down in terms of when we go behind. When it's early as it was today it's a bit early to write us off. But we just generally seem to be struggling our way through games, I am worried Liverpool will canter to this title. But anyway, at least we're back in this one

If I was a Brentford fan, I'd be livid that the ref stopped the game because of Jesus.

[WMUG]

Perfect chance there to put Nwaneri 1 on 1 with their fullback.

Obviously we don't, we recycle then almost immediately lose the ball anyway.

It's really quite infuriating.

Off you pop to Excel then

Nope has absolutely no bearing, additionally in most of the games where we concede the first goal we never score once in reply. We’ve also lost twice to Aston Villa by 1 goal to nil where we’ve conceded inside the first ten minutes (one was after 90 seconds).

We conceded to Newcastle this season in the 12th minute and couldn’t get back into the game, so time really isn’t a factor

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 HT.

[Mac76]

1-1 HT

better than versus Ipswich but we're still too slow in attack, not enough movement, we're relying too much on little flicks into a packed pelanty area

if only Arteta knew how to really unleash what this team has to offer in attack

I think we might need at least 2 more goals to win this as I can see Brentford scoring another goal.

We really don't have quality forward players, especially when Odegaard isn't purring. If we win this, or not, we really need to invest in quality forward players who are goal threats this January.
