Getting the feeling we’re overdue a set piece goal…

TeeCee

I reckon we’re overdue a butchering of some bunch of twats by five or more goals, but that’s just me.

Chapeau

No doubt we’re overdue Saka and Jesus hattricks

Ebo

We could’ve easily scored five by now. Is this going to be the first time this season we have one of those games where we play well enough to blast the opposition apart but just can’t put one in the net to save our lives? 😬

Feels like it’s the sort of game we need some heroics from an unexpected source, maybe ESR to score the winner off the bench. COYG!

Ebo

Fuck football. What a shitty sport, why do i even watch it.

Shivam

Same feeling man, supporting this time is pain in the ass!

C.B.

Interesting team, Zinny, Trossard and Jesus not a tall/physical but nippy and skilful. Hope it works out, keep it going lads!

C.B.

Strong bench!

C.B.

Glad that Gabi Mag can play!

Sakatatties

With the players missing in Villas midfield and the fact that they played on Thursday, I really expect us to thrash them today. They have been in terrible form in the PL and we are fucking brilliant. COYG

Shaolin

COYG!

Billy bob

Here is hoping for a win, think it will be a tough one though more is the pitty!! Can’t be dealing with a close game today, would love us to do what we did to this scum back in the fa cup final 👍

Bleeding gums Murphy

Villa have lots of injuries. We owe em after away game. Hope we get on front foot like we did against Newcastle who we also owed

Up4GrabsNow!

That front five! Odegaard, Havertz, Saka, Jesus, Trossard. WOOF!

Our old goalie will be bombarded!

Uba

Surprised Partey is still not starting. Odegaard, Rice and Kai being run into the ground.

Vieiraera

The scousers could be essentially out of it today. COYG!!! We can do this!

Up4GrabsNow!

Palace in Wunderland! Thank you Eagles.

NorthernGooner

They just lost 0-1….great result for uas but we need to keep our focus.

karl g

Liverpool have been sraping by and getting lucky, so not really such a shock.

Fatgooner

Bad line-up.

Jesus should have been held back for Germany. Havertz is ineffective in midfield. Jorginho should have started alongside Odegaard and Rice in the middle.

Vieiraera

I think MA is counting on Zinny having a great game. If he does, we’ll win it easily. Fingers crossed !

Fatgooner

No. Both Partey and Jorginho on the bench is stupid. Either should have started.

Havertz up front with Jesus on the left would have been a better option.

Daveo

I would have played partey and saved Jesus too. Then Havertz #8 against Bayern. But should be enough with Zinny aiding them. And rice and Havertz Odegaard in mids aren’t going to give them any space.

Ealing

Let’s hope for a good start and changes

Ealing

We had two day’s rest more

TeeCee

Fuck me Fats! Glass half empty already?

Vieiraera

I think it’s fit to come back here to say you’re damn right! Havertz in the middle doesn’t work

Vieiraera

It’s *fair

Daveod

With villa playing a high line I was expecting to see martinelli in the line up, but strong team, strong bench let’s get the 3 points COYG

Kai Havertz And Let Loose The Dogs Of War

And the mugsmashers lost!
A huge game for us
COYG

He’s got no hair but we don’t care...

Interesting that he started with Leo, instead of saving him for the Bayern game. Glad Jorginho has been given a rest. Hope Zinchenko is on it today.
COYG!!!

Vieiraera

It’s just so sickening to hear a former gunner like Paul Merson be so negative about arsenal chances today. Can he just shut up?!! Fucking addict

Spanish Gooner

You can disagree with him without having to go after what was an awful addiction

Doghouse

Now in our hands, let’s get this one done today and out of the way, crowd are gonna be well up for it even more, COYG !!!

Ealing

Liverpool and Arsenal handed it over to Citeh

TotsOfJack

Although we’ve scored loads of goals this season, our ruthlessness in the box is still an obvious point in our game that needs drastic improvement. I’ve always believed it can be achieved without new signings, but I’m losing confidence.
Come on boys. We can do this.

Billy bob

Getting a bad feeling about this game 😞

Ealing

Zinny out now,

FMT

We should never take off Odegard unless he is injured. His control in tight places is what we need for deep defence. Never take off Odegard our Captain!!!!

Ebo

To be fair he needs a rest, looked quite out of sorts vs Bayern. Much sharper today 1st half but then exhausted himself again… not sure he would’ve done better. Maybe, but maybe not, and hindsight is 20:20 innit..

Me2

Arsenal are proving themselves to be what everyone knows they are.
Can play well in January ad February – score five or six goals.
But when the pressure is on they become what they are.
A bunch of bottlers.
Congratulations to City – the best team in the premiership.

Henkamp

Congrats to you, too. The best clown on the internet.

Shivam

I just have to agree, this second half performance is little more than bottle job, unfortunately

Henkamp

That’s not an Arsenal fan. S/he is just here to take the piss.

Charles

The Zinny gamble has not payed off

Shivam

Worst player on the pitch by distance

Shivam

Toothless attack against good defence

Henkamp

It’s mostly a case of not taking our chances when we were on top. If we had scored earlier in the game, it becomes different.

Funny that this Villa team has been suspect defensively the last few games, only to become world-beaters against us today. Sigh

RobC

The usual spring meltdown, but this time after having spent 200+ millions on players. adds another layer of frustration.

MojoWillneny

The boys looked spent in the second half today. Such a shame we couldn’t put away first half chances. Fatigue, mental and physical, is our biggest challenge now. Also, the team has so much less brains and heartbeat without Odegaard on the pitch. Incredibly frustrating and deflating but not the end of our title run. Things are out of our hands now. City haven’t lost a match since December and I don’t see them losing any the rest of the way. Their squad is just too deep, another level from both us and Liverpool. Team has to pick themselves up… Read more »
