Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [31st August - 2nd September 2018]

I’m almost hoping Xhaka gets a non serious injury that keeps him out for a few games. He’s a total liability, that pass was pure laziness.

 

[Yas786]

Arsenal look really poor. From what I've seen this season, I think they're actually worse than last year.

Still too early to say that, Emery is still trying to get this team playing his way.

But yes we are extremely poor defensively.

 

[opethdisciple]

We seem to be shooting ourselves in the foot at the moment.

Gave the ball away against Chelsea which allowed them to score and again today.

Sooner Xhaka is replaced with Torreira the better.

Emery needs to drop him and start Torreira.

 

[trigg_27]

Granit bloody Xhaka. Guaranteed at least one costly mistake per match

 

[trigg_27]

One positive from this match defensively, Mustafi seems to be covering across a lot more behind Bellerin

 

[Yas786]

Yes seems to be having a decent game for once, doesn’t help that Bellerin leaves the right side open.

Also doesn’t help that Ozil is still as useless as a chocolate teapot when it comes to helping out his right back.

 

[trigg_27]

Is Ozil even playing today? I must have missed him

True, Cech again giving the ball away from the back :/. Better finishing from Cardiff and we could be 2-3 goals down.

 

[robfosters]

Auba!!!

 

[Yas786]

Finally Auba scores nice little touch from Laca to set that up.

 

[Yas786]

Another goal and I’ll be able to rest easy...sub Xhaka off pls...he’s bound to **** up again

 

[Yas786]

Oh dear Cardiff score again :/.

Nothing absolutely nothing has changed from Wenger era.

 

[The_One]

our defence this season really makes me think its steve bould that's the issue!

 

[Yas786]

Defenders just standing around doing **** all and letting that happen.

 

[Yas786]

Finally Torreira on but really should have been Xhaka going off.

 

[explicit4u]

Can't really blame our attackers for being a bit **** when they know the defence is going to undo all their hard work.

Our defence is so **** Cardiff know they can get 3 points here.

Edit: hahaha pathetic 'foul' before their goal

 

[McBain]

Mustafi is complete dross.

 

[Caseh]

Defensively it has. It's a little worse.
