We played well but we where not good enough in attack, i dont care about all the unlucky shit, this is football, if your good enough you make that luck.

We need to ask serious questions about the quality of our squad right now, we wont win the league with this team and we could have another bad season drifting into nowhere unless we make sure we have the right quality in every position.

Either Wenger left last season, or after he signed a new deal he should have sold the entire squad minus Sanchez and build a new one. If he comes to the season with the same squad + Lacazatte and Kolasinac he shouldn't be expecting any drastic changes.
Although it would have been hilarious seeing a entire new squad having the same results.

Not beyond comprehension at all once you realize he is a shit player.

Anyone who has watched him regularly should expect him to miss those chances. It's what he does. Just look at his scoring record.

1. Welbeck's shortcoming covered here already.

2. So slow to transition. Any meaningful break scuppered by pass behind the man or player (welbeck/bellerin) having to cut back in because no confidence to use their weaker/non existent foot

3. Ox is the only player who drives and scares defenders. Need to keep him. A cut above Walcott and welbeck.

4. Lacazette is going to be special. Can't think of any other player who would have finished in that way.

Nervous about Liverpool

Played well lost ... the mark of a side with issues ... apart from Wonger, if anyone on planet earth thinks Xhaka / Ramsey is an EPL central pairing I've yet to meet them ... couldn't boss a playground ....

What a frustrating afternoon. Chance after chance with hardly any looking like going in. Most of the crowds ire today seemed to be directed at Welbeck. He's a trier, but he's terribly frustrating with his end product. He thinks he'll get arrested for breaking into a shot. He looks like he gets frustrated with himself. He seems to want to pass the ball in from the goal line.

More trouble in the coach park after with supporters arguing and getting a bit pushy with each other. It's like we haven't had a close season at all. Exactly the same. So much for this 'catalyst for change' we were told so much about,

Every solid chance fell to Welbeck. Wtf is Lacazette not being played as the main CF?

Xhaka is such a f***ing liability. Cut him loose, awful awful signing. We desperately need better if we're going to persist with a midfield 2. I'm not convinced Ramsey is good enough for a 2 either, but it is so f***ing obvious that Xhaka isn't good enough to play there and is never going to be.

I hate how wenger makes subs for the same of making subs. I mean lacazette with that finish showed already how well he can finish. How you gonna sub your best finisher when you are chasing a game?

Bringing on Theo for Lacazette and keeping Welbz on the pitch is actually incredible shithousing. I couldn't believe it
