Two teams in a row in the PL who haven’t had to get out of 1st gear to beat us!. Rodgers packed the midfield as he knew we didn’t have much creativity to play through them. Neither Aubameyang or Lacazette are good in the air so even if our wingbacks managed to supply the width we would again have little threat in the air. Rodgers knew they would get their chance on the break with Vardy, the longer it was 0-0 we all knew it was coming and who the likely goal scorer would be. You Couldn’t have written a more simpler script than that tonight.
The players looked like they gave up aswell, Aubameyang strolling around all night weak as a kitten in the challenge, doesn’t seem to have much to his game either. Lacazette is hopeless less said about him the better. We all know how awful mustafi is so not at all suprised to see Vardy unmarked with a simple header. It’s like we go from one extreme from being awful defensively but tighten up as a unit, to an attack that couldn’t score if their lives depended on it.
Does Arteta even know what his philosophy is?!. When he came in , that first game against Chelsea when we were unbelievable for 60 mins, pressing high not giving them a sniff. A Pep Guardiolaesque performance, ok we got sucker punched in that game but the spirit and effort of the players was unreal. That should have been his philosophy, yet we’ve dropped deeper and deeeper as a team, even at home we are playing like the away side hoping to Nick something on the break. Shocking tonight, Leicester had it so easy tonight, it’s just unacceptable.

Ten Hag would be a great manager for Arsenal. He is very good in coaching attacking phases and how to move the ball quick from the defensive line to the attacking line.

Could be worse. Could be 10 times worse.
At least we're not shipping in goals at the back by the bucket load like we used to.
Won't be long before Auba finds his shooting boots and we're back to grinding out narrow 1-goal wins.

Auba is not right. Theres something wrong with him atm and him taking a tablet at the sidelines just seems to confirm that.
