1. We are so uncomfortable to watch. 3/4 passes forward then all the way back to the goalkeeper. There is no transition at all between our midfield and front 3.
2. Lack of creativity and attacking urgency. Genuinely think we could have played another 90 mins and still not found the net.
3. Why does Pepe still take corners. Have we not learnt who can and can’t take set pieces. Everytime we get a corner/free kick it is just a waste of time with a poor delivery.
4. Laca needs to be dropped, he mentally did not look at all there today and offered nothing. Think we should be trying to cash in in Jan.
5. Why does Arteta take so long to make substitutions?! Little too late today as was last week against Man City.
6. When Vardy came on, I just knew he was going to score.
All in all, struggling to take any positives from that. 180 mins played in Premier League coming back from international break, no goals and lack of creative urgency very unsettling. Still backing the team and Arteta of course, but think that result just brought us back down to Earth. We are not good enough for top 4.
Any Positives at all!?!?!

Aubamayang has been woeful since the new deal, Ozil mk2??
Lacazette - Have wanted this guy gone since last season. Offers nothing and is pretty easy to defend against.
Out of interest what was Mustafi doing for the goal. All he has to do it Track VARDY ffs. His only faking job and hes just jogging back. He might not have caught him but could have least put some pressure on him.
Positive? Partey looked good as did Gabriel.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This sums it up for me. Mustafi jogging back for their goal when Vardy is sprinting to get into the box is pathetic.
Partey and Gabriel look good but that’s about it. Let’s hope Saka isn’t injured for too long.
Pepe on the left is worse than Pepe on the right, but he’s generally a terrible player and needs to go.

Cheetah can not catch Vardy.....

Arteta has made us more solid at the back, which was a big task, but his plan seems to have halted there. I know we don’t really have creative players but he really needs to find somewhat of a solution. Otherwise this will be blueprint of how to bear Arsenal, just let us have possession because we won’t do much with it, draw us in then counter. Been saying for a while best way to beat us is to let us have possession. Artetas way only seems to work mostly when we’re the underdog and we have less of the ball.

We were actually very good first half, just missing the final bit of quality. Second half though I can’t think of many positives

Just fack off you deluded mess. Idiot. We all knew where this game was going apart from you with your deluded messages annoying everyone, saying we were playing well

What happened to the high press game that Mikel installed in his first game against Chelsea!. Winning the ball high up the pitch and creating lots of chances. Ok we got sucker punched and ran out of steam but we were unbelievable for 60 mins. Since then we’ve dropped deeper and deeper. It’s boring, it’s predictable and is having zero effect. Seems like opposite teams decide to up their game we are in trouble. Not good enough.

Positives
1. we are still top half of the table....for now, but a few teams have a game in hand which could take them above us.
2. Ok, I'm struggling

Wow so wound up. No need to be so rude. Ppl are allowed different opinions you know? Besides we *were* good first half, the second half being poor doesn’t change our first half performance

the thing i notice most about your games that i watch is that you seem to have a plan that you have to make 15 passes to get over midfield every time you have the ball.

Exactly. What happened to the high press straight after in the United game. It was a brilliant performance
This is Emery all over again
