Arsenal are no longer recognizable. Play has fallen so far.

As much as we complain about the defense, the degradation of the midfield has been what has really cost us. No ability to pass around teams so we can't beat a press and nobody to take space when on defense.

How far do we fall if this keeps up? Gonna be a bottom table finish for sure. In a season that 3rd or 4th place is there for the taking.

Yep! Sorely miss creative midfielders. No longer an attractive brand of football

Additional fun facts. Arsenal was only had 49 % possession and had fewer shots on goal than BHA. This team has no transition and is in just as much danger in possession as they are without it. Sell PEA for a premium in the winter. Get Ozil out of the starting 11. Invest in CBs and actual midfielders, not CDMs, but midfielders.

The one positive I can take away is that we are at least more positive with the ball. Less passing all the way to the back. I'd like to run with at least 4 in the midfield to give more cover. Have Auba and Pepe up top.

No more Sokratis and Luiz. Both are past it. Get Holding's ass back out there. At this pace, I'm legitimately concerned about dropping into the bottom 5 right now. The talent level is there, but something is broken right now where we can't even perform against the worst teams at home.

So as hard as this is to believe I guess that conversation could be entertained considering we are only 5 points clear and haven't won a match recently against the easier part of our schedule.

Hopefully they at least hire a real manager seems obvious Freddie is in over his head too.

Dammmitt!!! Are you kidding me? Everton go out and beat Chelski clinton 3-1 the first game after firing Silva. We go out and draw Norwich in a meh performance and then lost at Home to Brighton. WTF?

The players have quit on the club except Leno. They definitely aren't a team.

Our club needs not only a manager but we need a whole revamp of talent evaluators, acquire-era and developers because it's been average to shat.

You got your pain in a quick surprise instead of drawn out over 2 hours. You're welcome.

I don't really care win/lose. I just like to watch Pulisic. I really hate knowing the score when watching sports tho.

Oh well. I watched anyway but no excitement.

Seeing a bunch of rumors of us sending Bellerin to Juventus for Demiral (CB we have been scouting) in Jan.

Personally think it is a made up rumor based on our interest in Demiral and Bellerin's recent comments about wanting to play in Italy one day.

Also seeing that Real are now considering offering up Jovic to us to get us to give up PAE in Jan.

Rumors that Niko Kovac is throwing his name into contention for us. Supposedly he is hoping his ability/willingness to take over immediately will give him a boost in the search.

3-1. But I'm not brave enough to predict which team wins.

I want Pepe to start though.

If we are gonna continue playing Ozil we need to be running a 4-2-1-3 with Ozil as a free #10. Otherwise I'd like to see us run a 4-1-2-3 with a 6 (Torreira) and 2 8s in the MF. Not 100% sure who is fit but ideally I'd like to see two of Sokratis/Holding/Chambers at CB with Tierney & Bellerin at FB. Then up top go with Pepe on the right, Saka/Martinelli on the left and PAE at ST.
