Arsenal FC | 2025/26 Season

Now it’s getting interesting. The one thing going for Ars is that City are inconsistent.

So after the the united defeat, every sat in the dressing room and had a chat. Manager came out with rubbish about Arsenal would now play with more freedom.

Nothing has changed in the way the team is playing. It was yet another underwhelming away performance in the league. Other than the Leeds away game, we have been .

Whilst this may not be Man city of the past, or their unconvincing performances earlier in season don't matter. What happens in last 1/3 of season dictates the success of the season. City are getting key defenders back Dias, stones etc.. that gives them a solid base which they haven't had for parts of the season.

I'm hearing Arsenal need a points buffer going into the city game? What Arsenal need is a mentality of "we are going to Eithad to win, and make a statement. But we will get the usual, make sure we don't lose and take a point.

Facts are of Arsenal were even remotely ruthless we would be 10-12 points clear we ain't. Because everything is safety first.

For those proclaiming Arsenal are head and shoulders above everyone in PL and Europe, go get urselfs checked out for delusion (I won't name the 2 posters, but you know who you are)

We Will once again see how weak or strong this bunch of Arsenal players and manager are now. Also possibly having to play Man city a few times before end of season will mentally dictate where this team ends

Its easier said than done unless Arsenal get the Monkey off the back and get over the line.

Until then, these jittery phases will be the Norm. Having said that, City also are very inconsistent, and the 4 point Gap is still a decent buffer.

Btw, what has happened to Saka’s form??

Day off or on a break?

This was a really bad match. A lot of times in the past when Arsenal draw or lose, Arsenal have still had more chances, higher xg. Errors leading to goals often a culprit. This match however Arsenal were outplayed. Brentford had higher xg, more shots and more shots on goal. And worst thing of all, Arsenal had far more possession. It’s really incredible that Brentford were able to achieve that with so little of the ball. And how much of nothing Arsenal were doing when they had so much of the ball.

Most of the time during this season, Arsenal have lost points either due to errors or poor finishing despite creating more chances with higher xg. Wasn’t the case today and Arsenal were lucky not to lose.

Importance of this system relies mostly on the wingers in terms of attacking. It’s very concerning the form of the wingers. As I said before saka’s drop off is alarming, I’m not surprised even Madueke is outperforming him.

Given the circumstances that was a costly 2 points dropped for both sides.

Bees, and a win would have put them above Liverpool.

Arsenal, what was 9 point gap at top a week before is now down to 4 points.

Every game for Arsenal is now a banana skin - including Wolves on Wednesday.

With your busy life and work schedule. It's nice that you make time for the Arsenal thread
