Lich is absolutely finished. Just don't understand why we signed him.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Incase bellerin ever got injured...which he did
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Not my point. I asked why Lich was signed not that we didn't need another rb to back up bellerin. At 34 and released should have set off alarm bells.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He was signed on a free as we had no money to spend.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We did have money. I don't buy this no budget etc.

Should have been a red.

No after Dyche's rant.

We clearly did not have money to spend.

What a give away.

Should be 2 up but in typical Arsenal style we concede another comical goal

Of course the ref wasn't going to let us take the corner before HT. Stupid bald pricck.

He always moans about the ref and Burnley should have had at least 1 red cad

Dyche's men were lucky not to get a red card that day,

Montoya's challenge on Guendouzi was a clear red. Shocking challenge, didn't get the ball and was out of control.

Officials bottled that completely.

Not an individual error by Licht? Okay.....
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Technically it is an "individual" error by Lichsteiner but the focus should first be on a system that leaves him and every one of our defenders exposed, rather than his individual ability. It's a bit like blaming individual players when you conceded a lot of goals from corners, instead of looking at whether poor implementation of the man marking/zonal system is to blame.

This midfield is dysfunctional. 3 CM playing close to each other. None of the 3 offering an extra body in attack. There is no reason at all Ramsey shouldn't be playing this kind of game.

Our defence this season has remained the catastrophe it was.

We have a lot of money. The problem last season was lack of cap space on our wages. Unless Lich is playing for free we had money. I suspected it was to form a channel to his brother who is a german super agent.

Problem is that in the prem you cannot carry players. Thats what Raul is learning. Have to remember all of this is new for Raul, Sven as well.

Ffs. We are talking about an experienced defender here. He wasnt even pressed. Expect him to header that away. Schoolboy stuff

There is no imagination in our attack.
We have no one that can go past players
Most of our passes have been backwards.

Please get Ramsey on Ffs.

We don't have the defensive capabilities to see out games. Might as well go out for the attack as we need at least 2-3 goals per game

We are so easy to score against it’s pathetic

We concede directly from our corner. How many times have we watched that under Wenger.

The defending is worse than under Wenger

We are consistently conceding banter goals home and away. How many goals have we conceded that weren’t banter goals this season?

Just don't get why we're the only top 6 side that concedes these comical goals from our own setpieces. We've been having these clown shows for years now and it hasn't changed under Emery.

What I really dont understand is why we stop to play football after we scored. Play with the same intensity and put in another goal.

We just can't control games. Knew as soon as Brighton put a bit of pressure on us we would concede. Also knew that chance we had to go 2-0 up would come back to bite us.
