Figured an /s was not necessary

There are actually no options.
Social media is full of "why did we fire Tuchel for this?" comments, so can never be sure.

The squad was a mess and injecting 10 new players into it in a winter window creates all of its own challenges.

Kepa - whatever
Chilwell - meh
Azpi - was very good both ways, considering his age and level. was really happy i got to see him play before he leaves, and that injury was unbelievable.
Badiashille - fine when Fofana came on. continues to impress. hated starting koulibaly next to badiashile
Koulibaly - Get him out of my club
Enzo - fine, but we need a six in behind him. kovacic and him overlap profiles as well so just having kante back would really help
Mount - what the hell happened to this guy? How do you not have major reservations on a long term deal?
Kovacic - not good, should have expected it for his first game back. lacked energy imo. better as the game went on but it felt like his play lacked emotion
Madueke - feels like we went and signed a 5% better Hudson Odoi when we already have Hudson Odoi
Datro Fofana - why did we take him off the field?
Felix - fantastic player, if there’s a way for him and nkunku to coexist, we need to sign him. (@Evilo or anyone else thoughts)

Subs:
Mudryk - Just brainless, all vibes. Talent and technique is just phenomenal but he’s incredibly turnover prone where the tradeoff of the good versus bad is just so extremely in favor of the bad currently
Gallagher - ok
Sterling - Typical good Razz game. No finish.
Fofana - Looked fantastic. Get Koulibaly out of my club
Chalobah - ok
Havertz - Typical good Kai game. No finish.

Who the hell was the lamp post for Southampton playing Cf? Just no talent, all size and hold up. Everyone knew that JWP fk was going in.

Kepa - Steady game as he's mostly had this season.
Chilwell - Poor game, we generated nothing down the left in the first half.
Azpi - Alright but not good enough going forward. Not many options here right now though.
Badiashille - Some shaky moments in the first half but continues to be our best new signing. Really strong second half.
Koulibaly - Dreadful player. He should never even be in the squad again, he's brutal.
Enzo - Solid game but I felt like he and Kovacic were running into each other too much and didn't complement each other at all.
Mount - Invisible and useless. Shouldn't touch the pitch again for at least a month.
Kovacic - Didn't provide anything that Enzo didn't do better, and drifted too close to Enzo far too often. One of his weaker games.
Madueke - Made some good runs, got involved, I feel like he'd be better with James out there to play off of.
Datro Fofana - A lot of good runs, was on the ball a lot and getting involved. Could be quicker with passes and needs to get cleaner shots.
Felix - Not his best game so far, but continues to generate more attacking threat than anyone.

Subs:
Mudryk - Did nothing but run with the ball and lose it in every challenge. Needs to be way better.
Gallagher - Brought a lot of energy which we had little of in this game. Needs to play more despite his weaknesses.
Sterling - Generated a lot of attacking threat when he came on, had zero finish as usual.
Fofana - Excellent second half from him. Hopefully gets fully fit and can play more regularly.
Chalobah - Wasn't involved much, was decent.
Havertz - Was involved more than usual and way more than Mount, had zero finish as usual.

That’s a championship winning game for arsenal. If this doesn’t get them out of their rut?
That’s the Aston Villa effect. Choking late securing titles for LFC, City and maybe Arsenal now

going to be one of these days eh? Looks like Ali is up for it though

Watched Everton v Leeds. Originally I thought the Coleman goal was a result of an amazing strike. After watching it again I think it is a result of Meslier just being way out of position.

Yes Darwin! 1-0

Completely against the run of play. Way overdue

Virgil looks very rusty which is fair enough. At least it’s now rather than against Madrid
