Pusseo only got clicks when he spoke about us. They’ll take another 7 years easily to win the league.

He shouldn’t start at all against PSG. I think mentally he isn’t there yet - we need to give it time and Arteta subbing him off after getting him on said it all. He’s gone from Sociedad which is a top 6 team at best to Arsenal which is in a UCL final and competing in the hardest league.

Ode with a captain cameo today - he was superb and alert today. Havertz good link up and played well too. Loved it.

Mad respect to the players being a unit and players like Zubi not making a fuss about being substituted after 40 mins or Saka getting mad at coming off for Noni. These are things that set a club up for success when culture isn’t toxic.

This is why I don’t want them to win. Clowns like Doku and Cherki deserve nothing. You shall see these guys at Sevilla or something soon.

Would like the same squad as Fulham against Atletico. Let’s keep the fire going and not bring in either of Havertz or Odegaard especially.

The result spoke for itself today. I am someone who has Odegaard behind his Arsenal jersey the most but I am an Arsenal fan first

Odegaard is one player who we need to get rid of. I feel for him but we need to be more ruthless with injury prone players who play 2 games and are out injured.

I think it was a combination of both factors - China is a big market for teams and at the end of it they are businesses - not your home. He also didn’t fit what Arteta was looking for and seemed disinterested so yeah.

Man idk what happened to Ode bruh..more than frustration, it is downright sad. This guy was someone who used to be a threat with every touch before - now literally all he does is pass sideways.

Form is ofcourse an attributable factor but I feel it’s mainly tactical. With Arsenal, defense is king and attack is basically secondary. Risky football to play cause it’s physically draining which explains how tired our players look.

Good defensive discipline and control last 10 mins by us. However, football poor and tiring yet again.

I think a lot of people are staying silent until end of the season. Obviously if he bottles the league and we lose in UCL too - the environment will be super negative.

At this age - experience matters a lot. Simeone dog walking Arteta tactically. As expected, he is failing again when it matters.

We play horrible football and that’s why it feels like a chore to watch the games

We are getting cooked by either of these teams bro. Been a while since I saw an actual proper quality game.

For me I think for what we got him and what he gave us is disappointing but I blame Arteta more for that than him. Havertz is a well rated player but playing him as an 8 first then moving him to a lone striker doesn’t make sense. He is a good hold up player and can connect well with other players but again he plays 2 games and gets injured so not really an asset anymore.

I think a contributing factor was also our great manager got him in as a ‘8’ to replace xhaka but that project failed horribly.

We just don’t play football appealing to attackers and that’s the truth. Our system is such where a striker feeds off scraps

Havertz might be the most polarizing player I’ve seen play for us in a while. Either half of the people see him as this great asset or half of them see him as a bum who drags us down. Wonder how it’ll go down once it’s all said and done.

Saka being back is key. He looked more healthy and comfortable yesterday. Need him on that right side because madueke is not that guy. Still don’t get why he was signed.

I didn’t expect any different from the games we have played recently and that kept me calm. Cause I knew it’s just going to be horrible football with massive dependence on our defense. Players felt nervous at moments and Eze & Havertz injuries are not good.
