me no like this result very much
This is what the end of an era looks like. Sad days.
Can we have the number of fouls/yellow cards that were not called by idiot ref? Particularly on alexis.
I see the 2 for 2 aerial duels from Mustafi, but I clearly remember him having one of his signature “I jumped to show effort but got nowhere close to it” at half field for their 2nd goal build up. Is that not included in aerial duels because he misses so badly?
It could have been. Basically if you jump no where near the opponent it’s not a duel is it? There was also an aerial foul.
Ramsey really is suit. Amazing for someone that thinks so highly of himself.
So many turnovers.
Your reading is suit.

Koscielny had a terrible first season, I think Mustafi and Xhaka will do better next season. Hopefully.
The defence has been an issue for many years.Yet the fm has ignored making the gunners hard to beat concentrating on his attacking philosophy.Then he had Henry and his merry band but not anymore. In fact he shd have left after winning the cup in 2014.Now Arsenal are in free fall.He shd let Bould take over now.Of course there is no guarantee he will be winning but its still better than to wait until end of season. Wenger has been given too much power and time and has repeatedly shown he aint able to get the gunners challenging.Time for him… Read more »

So sad…..!! Why should we always depend on ‘Next Season’. Something must be done…
8: players not enough good to play in first team.
1: manager not good enough to compete in actual EPL
We were so lackadaisical at key moments during the game…So gloomy these days..SMH
