Deserverd that

 

[CliffyG]

Have now. We've been awful since scoring.

 

[JamesH85]

Fulham look really good with Jiminez up front. Really missed him. They create a lot of chances with him on the pitch.

 

[manic111]

Really rate Antonee Robinson as well. Wouldn't mind Liverpool looking at him as a long term Robbo successor

Edit: oh, he's 26 so not that long term! Still looks very useful though!

 

[CliffyG]

How is that not a foul on Saka.

 

[robfosters]

Our passing has gone to **** lately

 

[Jimbeam3678]

Spurs game is entertaining as usual end to end stuff. Bournemouth should have equalised on the balance of play.

 

[Stu999]

How has the Fulham player gone down there from contact with the ref?

The exact opposite of the Fulahm Arsenal game then

 

[bingham67]

Richarlison got to score

 

[Mekrel]

I've been in Canada since the 23rd, so I haven't caught the two Manchester United games or the highlights (Villa and Forrest), unfortunately I can't say I was surprised by the Forrest result. We're horrifically inconsistent that I knew the Villa result wasn't one of the many acclaimed "corner turning" results.

The absolute dross in our squad is embarrassing, embarrassing enough before you even factor in the amount of money we've spent.

I don't think EtH is the right man for the job, but there's no point in changing the manager until there's a functioning structure at the club. By that I mean a structure that doesn't sanction selecting players from Erik's iPhone contact list and paying over the odds for them.

 

[JamesH85]

LOL Fulham's goal scoring record when Jiminez starts is awesome.

 

[Ayahuasca]

Arteta at the wheel might be making a comeback.

 

[CliffyG]

Arsenal not at the races since scoring. Be lucky to get a point out of this.

 

[Mekrel]

Oh come on Arsenal, I would rather you win it (or Villa, as unlikely that is) than City or Liverpool.

 

[explicit4u]

Might have to brave the weather and go get rekt if it stays like this

 

[Trusty]

Maybe this is a bit of reality check for Arsenal. They have put a lot of pressure on themselves recently, almost like a foregone conclusion they win the PL if City don't.

Arsenal are never winning the league this season. They don’t have a clinical striker and have 2 average keepers. Over the course of a season you need both to win the league.

2 good keepers you mean, hardly average. And you don't need a striker per se, Pep won it several times without a proper striker. Not saying they don't need a striker though, i think they do. It's just tight up at the top, City not quite at it, Liverpool only lost once this season, you'd assume they won't go the whole season only losing once, so they'll drop points there. And you have several outsiders taking points off the top 4 with West Ham, Villa and Spurs. It's seems to be setting up for a tight 3 way battle for the PL.

105 million quid on Declan Rice = Arsenal being 10 points worse off, 10 less goals scored, 3 more goals conceded compared to last season. Transformative signing that one.
