We have zero creativity. We're so easy to defend

Well Pepe has been the best part of a trash 45 minutes. He's been the lone bright spot.

I'm not sure Willock even touched the ball this half.

Pepe showed flashes. Touch failed him a couple time and missed a really good scoring chance but he also made a few excellent runs that the ball carrier completely missed/ignored.

Feel Like PEA was really off. Can't put my finger on it but something wasn't right.

Willock basically just ate up space and made a few 4-5' passes. With our defensive issues I think he needs to be subbed for Torreira. Play Lucas at the 6 and allow Xhaka a more free roaming DLP role.

Too bad Sheffield didn't wrong foot and botch their easy tap in for goal. Or maybe someone mark Mousset. I hate the zonal marking on corner kicks.

But then you have 3 deep lying midfielders. Somebody has to connect to the attack so it'll probably be Ceballos

And it's Ceballos

Torreira needs to be starting regardless

Agreed. He was a #6 in Italy and for some reason Emery thinks he should be an 8 for us.

And Xhaka is now playing as a CAM.

Lucas as a 6, Duezy as a defensive 8 and Dani an offensive 8 would be ideal to me.

Interesting sub. 4-2-2-2???

No idea. I don't think Emery know either to be honest.

Looks like 4-2-1-3

PEA - Laca - Pepe
Saka
Dani - Duezy
Kola - Luiz - Sokra - Chambers

And take off the best performer

yeah I would have taken Saka off. He has been invisible since Laca came on. 4-2-2-2 with Martinelli & Pepe on the wings could have been interesting.

Yep. Get him out. We have no scheme or tactical planning at all. Just puts 11 people out thee and says go

Sigh. When we miss the top 4 by one or two points again at the end of the year, these are the games that stick out. How many times in the last 5-6 years has this exact same game been played by Arsenal.

Another terrible zero points. Sigh.

Frustrating match. Not surprised based on the fragility on the road Arsenal have embraced. Emery's tactics are dumbfounding.

Cut his ass loose and either make Freddie the interim or hire Allegri immediately.

Random question... What was up with Freddie getting a yellow? Don't think I have ever seen and asst off the bench and do anything to warrant a card. Can't help but wonder if he is trying to show Edu/Raul that he has more heart/fight than Emery.

I kind of agree with you. Saka is his youth player and he was yelling about the stupid yellow

Comparison to last year with comparable fixtures. We're pretty much screwed.

No Ozil.......again lol. Is it a bad thing that I'm way more excited for this squad than the one on Monday, not counting the fact that I think this squad would be the one that played on Monday

chjoak
How long do you want to ignore this user?

That squad as a 4-3-3 with Lucas at the 6 and Willock/AMN as dual pivot 8s has a ton of potential. That said, how much you wanna bet that it is actually a 4-2-3-1?
