Arsenal FC | 2025/26 Season

I was a lurker. Arsenal fans love to dish it out but can’t hack it in return.

If you were lurker last season, you would've noticed there was a particular Liverpool fan who was antagonising Arsenal fans on this thread. In response, we invaded the Liverpool thread merely to troll him.

Why are you guys afraid of admitting you are champions elect?

Arsenal have fallen short and haven't won the title since 2004, so we'll believe it when we see it.
 
Going back to the Chelsea game.

Chelsea were fortunate that they only lost by one goal. If we go by xG, Arsenal should have won 3-1 as they dominated the game. But there is no reason why we can't at least draw to Chelsea in the return leg at the Emirates.

Gyokeres deserved his Player of the match award with his goal and assist. I thought his work rate was nothing short of brilliant.

Unfortunately, Saka and Martinelli are not beating their man so they're having to cut inside or pass it backwards rather than cross it into his path. As mentioned by AJ, Odegaard is too slow to release the ball. These three are not helping Gyokeres' cause and are leaving him starved of service.

Arsenal are far more right wing dominant and Gyokeres looks far more likely to score with Ben White at RB with his overlapping runs and Madueke on the RW, as he's regularly beating his man.

I'm not a fan of xG, but if you look at the sitter Gabriel missed from a header, also the Sanchez save made in game. We should have won game by 2 goal margin.

The 2 goals were conceded were poor and I wasn't happy with that.

In terms of getting crosses in early, getting balls in early, our players are under clear instructions to recycle the ball and not play high risk passes or crosses. There has to be a middle ground where more risk are taken.

Gyokeres has been part to blame with lack of intensity in some games, at same time our players aren't helping him either. This is something that should already be worked on in training.

With madueke playing tonight, we may seem Gyokeres at least get a few chances from early balls into box vs forrest.
 
WTH is wrong with Martinelli?

Just keep missing sitters with the league on the bloody line!
 
Pathetic decision making in the final 10 yards

Today is not a day where you are you are going to walk the ball in to the opposition’s goal. You’ve missed 2-3 sitters now right in front of it
 
Created a lot of chances, but haven't even hit the target. We need to test the keeper atleast
