Arsenal FC | 2023/24 Season

This is must win, can't be giving City top spot with 6 games left
 
Villa looking more dangerous in this 2nd half.

Martinelli or ESR need to be brought on here
 
Shocking defending on corner and villa hit post again. Another let off for Arsenal
 
Zinchenko trying to nutmeg just outside his own pen area. What an idiot. Lucky not to be 1-0 down.

Ladies and Gentleman, this is the guy Mamoon wanted me to apologise to because I rated Kiwior higher than him.
 
Arsenal to slow in transition, needs to be 1 touch passing. To many players taking 3 or 4 touches. Just letting Villa reset into defensive position.
 
If Arsenal drop points here, they will have to win their last 6 games to even get close to Man City.

Huge last 15 mins
 
If Arsenal don't win this, Arteta deserves this outcome for starting Zinchenko and Jesus.
 
Man City will win this title with ease. Probably by 5/6 points. Arsenal have been awful. Bottle job side
 
2 0

What a mess Arsenal have been today.

Defensively all over the place.
 
Devastating result.

2nd half was a shambles. I'm not even going to bother with individuals as if you watched the match its all there to see
 
Starting Zinchenko and Jesus was a shambles, havertz in middle field doesn't work.

Shambolic bottle job performance
 
City 2 points clear with 6 games left. Gift wrapped title courtesy of Arsenal and Liverpool
 
Can't stand Arteta no doubt he will be in full whiny mode.

Bayern will end Arsenal's trophy hopes next week
 
Arteta deserves this humiliation. Alarm bells were ringing for me when I saw Zinchenko and Jesus start this game.
 
Ah well. What can we do.

Fed up of blaming that little weasel LB. It's all gone to pot since jesus and him came back into the team undeservedly.

And that's on Mikel I'm afraid.
 
Manager decides to go back to using players and system which wasn't working in 1st half of season.

Tactical brain fart from Arteta.

Trossard as well

Poor decision to start him. The guy is one of the best in the world coming on in the final 30 minutes. He lifts the side as an impact sub. He is never a full 90 minute player!
 
Not a bad result for a small club managed by the incompetent Emery 🤣
 
Though this result doesn’t please me at Arsenal’s expense, the title is well and truly going to City again after the results today

Fully deserved win on that 2nd half performance. Villa bossed the midfield.

Arteta to dumb to realize havertz in midfield doesn't work
 
Arteta team selection cost of us. Simples.

Subs weren't great either. Not a good day for him

This is why I don't rate this manager.

Once again at pressure end of season he makes weird decisions.

Today was worst we looked defensively in a long time.

Why because Zinchenko was back in side. Havertz in midfield doesn't work and we got over run in 2nd half

Jesus is just another lacazette.

We were playing well with a changed system since start of year and Arteta does what he did end of last season and Carry passengers in team in Jesus and Zinchenko

This is why Arsensl will keep falling short under this manager
 
Gabriel Jesus has really lost his way it seems.

I always rated him, but injuries seem to have taken their toll.
 
I hate title races lol. So much for being in the conversations. Let's stick to aiming for top 4 😂 leas stress

True he was never the quickest but since his knee injury he has lost pace. Defenders catch him easy.

His output is no different to when laccazette was at Arsenal, people go overboard with his work rate.

There is a reason why city got rid of Jesus and Zinchenko, Arsenal need to do same in summer
 
If Arsenal want a striker next season, Ollie Watkins should be on that list. Quality player
 
I know it's a bit fresh and don't need me sticking the boot in but thought it was quite disgraceful the way a lot of fans deserted the team, even at 1 nil loads left and then lots more when it was 2

Yeah I don't get that. That's why I said reminded me off Brighton last season

100% spot on, fans leaving early was disgrace. Such behaviour deserved today's defeat

Top 4 bottled, two title races bottled.

Manager can't handle pressure, nor can players or fans in the ground
 
Sometimes I think to myself my personal agenda against a player clouds my judgement. But with Zinchenko I think it's universal.

Everyone can see he is a liability.

The main issue I have is and I said it earlier in the season so it's not just today is because of his positioning Gabriel is pulled out wide and that is not his strong point.

If he wanted to rest Kiwior then Tomiyasu should have played.

I don't see Arsenal recovering from this and they'll get walloped in Germany midweek. It's the way it goes. When it rains it pours.

The 1st goal summed up Zinchenko, no where to be seen on back post when Bailey scored.

He was to busy cheer leading outside the box

It wasn't just the goal. His all round game is poor. Doesn't win duels. Always out of position. Constantly plays forwards on side.

Endless misplaced passes. Anyway screw him.

Artetas fault. I'm going to take a leaf out of other posters book and go sit in the corner of my house somewhere for a few days.
 
Ideally Arsenal need both a number 8 and a number 9 but after spending £100m+ on Rice and Timber they only had sufficient funds to fill one of these gaps.

I hope the fan base can now realise why Havertz's signing was a poor decision. Along with Rice and Timber, what Arsenal really needed was either a specialist number 8 or centre forward. Havertz is neither of those, which goes to show it wasn't money (£65m) well spent.

@Mamoon another one that aged well 🤡
 
Terrible performance all round from Arsenal manager and players. Haven’t seen such a bad one for a long time, specially defensively.

Zinchenko is always caught out of position defensively he needs to go. His mistakes are forcing the centre backs to try and pick up his slack.

Jesus I don’t mind around as injury cover/sub but he just isn’t the answer anymore.

Think unai has artetas number. I don’t know the actual record but it always feels like he wins against Arteta. Maybe that’s why Arteta was under pressure today to switch things up.

The stupid give away on corner of thr box when tielemans hit the bar, summed up what a liability he is.

Ben White has been poor last 2 games as well and that's mean defensively we have been all over the place.

Last Two games where we have been over in midfield due to poor selections from the manager.

Nketiah, Nelson, Vieira, Zinchenko, Jesus all need to go in summer.

Arsenal need a proper number 8, a number 9 and another attacking forward.

Edu has no excuses to bring money in on sales and Arsenal need 3 elite signings in summer.
 
Really hate how some fans and players treated Emery. He’s a quality manager who should have been given support of the fans, players and given an actual budget to work with. Who knows what he would do, never given a proper chance. Even though generally impressed how Arteta has built the side. PSG was a poisoned chalice. I’d be interested to see how he’d do either a bigger club with a budget backing him. Aston Villa is great but no disrespect I just don’t see them challenging for the league any time soon.

Arteta choked it big time today. It’s getting embarassing how emery keeps schooling him.

Emery was booted out from Arsenal because he was not deemed capable of restoring Arsenal’s title challenging credentials and Arteta has shown him how it is done.

Never dare to compare a small manager fit for a small team to Arteta. Comeback when Emery gets employed again by a big club.

The fact that you still have the audacity to criticize the Havertz signing proves that you are either delusional or suffering from cognitive dissonance or driving an agenda. Take your pick.

Arsenal have been on a fantastic run ever since he replaced Jesus as striker which shows that he has been a worthy signing. Without him at CF, Arsenal wouldn’t be where they are today.

Today was just an off day. It happens. Arsenal cannot win every game and there is still plenty of games left and all three teams will drop points. It is 100% open.
 
🤣🤣 excuses being rolled out by 🤡.. but but Arteta Is title challenging and Emery Isn't 🤦‍♂️

Just when you though a certain shameless fraud could gey any worse.

Emery has Villa sat 4th in his 1st full season. Arteta was languishing in 8th in his 1st full season.

But but.. I'm not going to apologise...

I'm just going to lie and act like a coward and keep making excuses for Arteta not winning trophies...

As predicted like a broken record...

Aged what.

Zinchenko was okay today, he didn’t do any worse than Gabriel who seems to be back to his reckless self that cost Arsenal multiple points last season and Saliba was poor too.

It is funny how it is always Zinchenko’s fault whenever he is on the pitch and Arsenal concede. Nonetheless, perhaps I shouldn’t be criticizing you because it is clear that you either don’t watch the matches or you don’t know what is going on. Not your fault.
 
Havertz has been a great signing. Arteta just got it very wrong today and yes it’s just a bad day, Arsenal have been prolific, the best team this year IMO until this game.

It is just a terrible time to have an off day. It’s possibly cost the title. If I were Liverpool fan I would feel even worse tbh, at least Aston Villa are a good team.

Too bad Emery doesn’t have many numbers in his phone otherwise he would be where Arteta is today, i.e. fighting for the PL title with Arsenal.

There is too much talk of costing this and that when there is still 6 games to go and none of the three clubs will win every game.

It is going to go down to the wire and that hasn’t changed after this weekend.

Some people declared Arsenal as champions last weekend and this weekend it is City. Three weeks ago some were happy to hand Liverpool the title.

Next weekend, they will change again.

Stop using the word "great" in such poor context. Havertz has not been a great signing. His performances in midfield all season have been average at best.

His better performances have come up front.

Zinchenko has been poor all season yet he's picked again, Jesus has been average as well. Havertz in midfield doesn't work

As they saying goes if it aint broke, don't try and fix it. Surprise surprise Arteta tinkered when it wasn't needed, I said at start of season he was doing Raneri at Chelsea vibes. So its proven again at pressure end of season Arteta is a serial bottler. 3rd season in a row now

Arteta got bent over mate and showed how it’s done by a former Euro Winner, for the so called GOAT, in a head to heat he got sent home with damp undies buddy
 
Thought Rice was very ordinary in the bayern game as well as Today. His 100 million transfer fee was precisely for the big crunch games

He's knackered. It's there to see. Partey needs to take the load off him.

Didnt help that Southgate the melt made him play full 90 mins back to back in pointless friendlies.
 
Only Odegaard in the 1st half was good. Some amazing openings which our forward line couldn't take advantage of. He faded in the 2nd turns out he had a knock.

Villa had more balls , physically strong , first to react & no fear . This is only possible if the players feel confident in their preparation, plans & ability . Emre showed a masterclass in the 2nd half. Arsenal we’re clueless, no idea at all .

Arteta should have a summer training camp with the former sacked boss .

For sure , i mentioned this then . You can’t expect one man in midfield to do the donkey work every game , every few days . Not in the PL esp . Rice is done for the season.
