plus points thought Gabriel looked good again. Tierney is good.
I wonder what Arteta hopes will happen at some point in the future if he keeps on playing Bellerin? Does he think the player is on the verge of greatness? Or do we have absolutely zero options?
Für eure Sicherheit
I think this is the key bit of what Arteta has said here. If he doesn't know what we can do then he has to go."I don't know what else we can do. If we can't score goals we cannot improve our situation."
"We have a lot of the ball but no end product that is required to win football matches.
"I applaud their first goal, it is world class, but the second goal we are a man down, we leave a massive gap and they take advantage. He [Thomas Partey] has to stay on the pitch. It looks like the same injury he has already had, he will have an MRI.
"After that we dominated, they didn't have any chances, but they win the game.
"I don't know what else we can do. If we can't score goals we cannot improve our situation."
This is football. They scored a wonder goal and the second we got done on the break because Thomas Partey was not in position, he was injured.
"I saw a team full of passion, dominating the team and creating chances but in the end it is about the end product and that is why they are top of the table. I think we had 44 crosses."
On trying to get Thomas Partey back onto the pitch: "I wanted him on the pitch doing whatever he could for the team in that situation. Anyway he could not carry on playing.
"Maybe we were a little too cautious with Son but it was a wonder goal. It is what they do really well, they did it once because the second we were a man down.
"The fight and the spirit and the way they played in this stadium is to applause bit it is not enough to win football matches because we are not scoring goals."
When will he realise our EL side is better than our PL side?
i get the opposition may not be as good in the EL but he needs to dump Xhaka, Willian and Laca for players like AMN, ESR, Balogun etc who give a shit - I'd rather have that lot out even if we do still lose at least they're gaining experience, playing glue-factory material like Laca and Willian is just a waste of time
got to say Pepe really effed up by getting red-carded - however inconsistent he is, he can produce a goal out of nothing which is what we need when we offer nothing goal-wise game after game
Auba needs to be dropped. He’s not even close to being a threat at the moment.
As for Willian, what an utter turd of a signing he’s been so far. Arteta is deluded if he thinks he’s contributing to the team in any way, no idea how he starts every match.
Bellerin should be fined his entire seasons wages for the foul throws.
He has given away 5 foul throws this season. For a professional footballer, that’s inexcusable
