Official Gooners Thread - A New Hope

I mean, 2 wonder goals from united - but Arteta got it wrong yesterday. Felt like it was a game crying out for Martinelli down the left, as much as I enjoy super leandro. Odegard is very ineffective at the moment. Arsenal would be hosed without Rice, what a player he is becoming.

Saliba seems shakey on the ball, I feel like he's contributed to 2-3 goals this year with poor passes at the back, but my brother argues the stats wouldn't back that up.

Badly missing the italian lad at the back, he is a real threat going forward as well. Hincapie isn't really a forward thinking defender.

Agreed, the players were there to get 3 points yesterday, just error in deployment
3 points from 2 games against Utd isn't going to lose you the title any year
They need a run of 5-6-7 league wins asap

The yippish behaviour yesterday was a mindfcuk though. When they went 1-0 up, it was as if they were afraid to go 7 points ahead again. Lead in the legs. Saliba started the rot and the rest of the team were affected by it. Bizarre.

It has to come down to Arteta. I think he needs Eileen Drewry in to hypnotise them into thinking it's the CL.

Also, who would want to be a striker on that side? Almost a redundant job.

Yes as they have great pedigree in that competition.
