Don't think we're doing too badly, look good in spells, doing well at a rejuvenated Arsenal under Arteta. We do look a bit toothless though.

 

[SUFCinks]

VERY POOR. No creativity, no composure, wasteful in possession, no goal threat AGAIN. This is worse than stoke by far.

 

[Lawrence]

F in cheating, rolling about cockney twohats

Yer doesn’t look very injured know does he, Typical of these types of teams, and Referees never played football don’t have a clue

 

[BiggerBladeThanThou]

McBurnie on for McGoldrick

Fleck on for Osborn.

Need to link up play in their half.

 

[Bobby b]

Imo mcburnie needs to come on for mcgoldrick because we seem to be hitting the long ball and I think we could benefit from mcburnie knock on to a burke run this isnt the game for mcgoldrick playing football

 

[Mojo]

People moaning on here on that first half performance, I'd love to know what drugs you are on

 

[Yoonited]

Fleck keeps and distributes a lot better

When he's on his game arguably

 

[KeyffSmyff]

Don't usually buy into the media bias thing but not shown any of our stats this half. Would have been interesting to see our average positioning when they showed there's.

 

[FatPaul]

315 mins without a league goal and counting

Let's make it 360. COYB!

 

[1973Blade]

Just seen this on Arsenal forum. I think we all need to #prayforauba

 

[Tony_Kaufman]

I'd take a 0-0 away at Arsenal any day of the week, but fuck me, would it kill the players to create a chance on goal. Our attacking play is pitiful, absolutely lifeless and pathetic. God help Brewster, he's going to have to do it all on his own as there'll be no service coming his way.

 

[OrderOfStGeorge]

Played well but just no end product at all the shot by McGoldrick summed it up.

Get McBurnie up top with Burke.

 

[Davalon]

Not sure Didzy gives us enough in this type of game sometimes.

Unless we have more possession then he's not quick enough to close down and press.

That said I'm not sure anyone else on the bench would do it any better.

 

[jono_t2000]

Thank goodness for Burke. His hassling is keeping us in the game and slowing down their attacks. Egan back to his best too.

 

[VwBlade]

Burke running his b0llocks off pressing

Got a touch like Sutcliffe though

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Arsenal look terrified when we have the ball.

 

[CornwallBlade]

We’ve looked ok but the lack of confidence and quality is showing when we try to get through midfield. No idea what to do with the ball so we end up going sideways or backwards. Burke has the Arsenal back line beaten for pace but has hardly had a ball to latch on to.

I thought it was pretty reasonable for a side with 0 goals and 3 defeats. Be happy with a 0-0 draw tbh.

They try and walk the ball in instead of having a dig i can't remember the last goal we scored that was a screamer.

 

[JayGreen17]

McB on for me, we’re not gonna beat these playing fluid football.

 

[JayGreen17]

Hoping this may now change with Brewster.

except when he was pulled back........

 

[GKhantRebel]

Burke is causing them to cak themselves a bit at the back when he closes them down at pace, but he really is struggling to do anything with the ball when he gets it.


Didsy, who is one of my favourite players, is way off today. We seem to be content with holding them at bay without going for it a bit ourselves.

A lot of aimless hoof. Hopefully, we'll go for it a bit more in the second half as D'Arse ain't that good. I'd be getting someone to run at David Luis he's always good for a potential cock up!

 

[Breakingblade]

Not great, no creativity, but we look comfortable away at a quality team. Not sure what there is to complain about, I'm appeh for sure

take your rose tinted specs off FFS. Not 1 shot, no possession in their third, kick and run stuff.

all we have done is stick 10 men behind the ball and hoof it.

 

[FallowfieldBlade]

Stone wall red fuck off mike dean

 

[Lawrence]

VAR SHIT AGAIN

 

[Tony_Kaufman]

Didsy has been out of form since lockdown. He's never rediscovered the early form of last season, which is worrying as we played our best attacking football when he was on song.

 

[Mojo]

Souness spot on

 

[McGoaldrick]

The muppets on VAR had no contact with on-field referee. What do we have to do for a bit of fair treatment?
