[JeffreyLFC]

Leno 0
Chambers 0
Mari 0
White 0
Tierney 7
Lokonga 5
Xhaka 0
Pepe 4
ESR 8
Martinelli and Balogun 0

Saka 7. Nelson 3

Arteta 0.

No bias

I don't think I have seen enough of Saka to deserve a 7.

 

[booyakasha]

Just blow the whistle ref....
Mercy rule. No need for extra time.

 

[bluesfan94]

Tierney, Saka, ESR all had good games.

That's it.

A couple other players looked decent.

 

[Savant]

Saliba, White, Gabriel is a fine trio of CBs. The problem is we don't have a RB or a midfield.

Or Saliba (this season)

 

[spintheblackcircle]

How much better is Chelsea than the rest of London? oof

 

[Buck Dancer]

That or just let Xhaka play in a Swiss kit and watch the transformation. Seems night and day.

He’s proven nothing since joining Arsenal, was rumoured to be sold but Roma wouldn’t give us the money we demanded… so we just resign the guy for 4 more years?

The logic behind it all can be summed up in 3 letters… lol.

 

[Blender]

Tripped over his own feet.

They still have another £60M to spend too.

 

[bluesfan94]

Tripped over his own feet.

I think his left leg clipped the right leg of the Brentford player on the kick but I couldn't tell

 

[bluesfan94]

At least Gladbach secured a draw today

 

[Blender]

You love to see it.

I've had my fair share of criticism for Xhaka, but he's also been playing in a broken system. He looks damn good every time he plays for the Swiss.

At least Gladbach secured a draw today

scally went the distance

Always important for a promoted team to win their first home game against a team on a downward spiral, who might end up fighting against relegation.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

pay good money to be there....good stuff

 

[Buck Dancer]

Another humiliating loss for Arsenal and they’re facing Chelsea and City in their next 2 fixtures.

 

[KJS14]

Respect to Brentford though. Arsenal made their pressing look like Klopp's Dortmund/Liverpool for a while and the crowd was electric.

 

[booyakasha]

I know there was an Arsenal fan in here who questioned the thought of us fighting relegation...but,
3 games in, we will be pointless and in a massive goal differential hole. will spend the season fighting.

What I witnessed today was the worst I've seen the club play in over 30 years.
no cohesion, no game plan, no trust, .....just a bunch of players who went out to play.

[Buck Dancer]

The preparation for this game, the 1st game of a new season, was an abomination. Arsenal looked like they were playing a friendly against a team that is way better then them.

The second we sack Arteta is the second we’ll be moving forward.

They'll finish 8-10. I have them 9th. No way they finish lower than 11th. Absolutely no f***ing way.

 

[AB13]

Emery was literal fox shit that you find in your garden. The fact that Arteta is worse than him is an achievement in itself.

We did the double against Chelsea last season.

How's that saying go??....


never say never.

 

[Chimaera]

Locatelli is available for 40M€. Aouar is available for less than that. This would also involve selling/losing the salaries of: Kolasinac, Torreira, Lacazette, AMN, Chambers, Bellerin, Leno, El Neny, Xhaka, Pepe, Auba, Lacazette, Mari, willian, Cedric, and Nketiah

Who is paying for some of those top earners? They’d have to pay to make them go. We have also gone round and round on some of the players you think would come in. If there’s a better situation, they aren’t going to Arsenal. Heck, staying out and avoiding that dumpster fire might be better
