Staying up, staying up, staying uuup
Ozil, Mustafi and Lacazette all starting.
Martinelli shunted to the right, away from his mate Saka.
Willock and Torreira benched after playing well.
Nketiah comes on with two minutes left to go.
Arteta trying to outdo Emery. At least he'd almost binned off Ozil and Mustafi.
The defence and midfield has certainly improved in terms of organisation and solidity, but going forward there's still no flow. Maybe playing a guy with scrappy technique, no goal threat, no speed and little confidence in the box isn't helpful.
Saying all that, if Laca and Auba score their chances, this would have been a comfortable win.
If Ozil and Laca start the next game, I might actually cry.
Sean Dyche standing up for the good of the game.Burnley boss Sean Dyche talking to Sky Sports: "We had a good grasp of the game. Had enough chances to score and the balance of the side was very good.
"Another solid show of us continuing to improve. We wanted to be brave and set the press.
"No grand statements. We played some reasonable stuff and created chances.
"It is lovely to watch when people are falling over, it is my favourite part. The game is in a fantastic state. No-one wants to adress it apart from me, so I am absolutely happy with the state of the game."
Utter bellend.
Another pathetic performance from fairycake.
I agree, Arsenal are a mid table team now.
How are Arsenal going to get rid of SO MANY average players in the summer, that is what I'm thinking ?
This is the poorest team in my time for sure. Some of you older lot will probably know of worse though.
It's got so bad now that the team doesn't really have any identifiable strengths anymore. Like, what are we actually good at doing these days? We can barely defend, we can barely create chances or can't really construct decent passages of play with any consistency. When we do something nice it feels like a bit of a fluke or an anomaly. We don't have any flair players who are worth the price of a ticket alone either, where's the excitement? Pure mid-table dross.

Incredibly, you'll still find people making a case for them though.
No-one hates them. I think any sane person can see that they're completely ineffective and often a detriment to the team.
Until Ozil and a few others leave, there will not be any significant improvement.
Ozil is a pathetic player in every way possible.
How on earth is he still here and on 350k a week ?
Only Arsenal.
