Merino and Eze should be starting games together

Here’s the thing: Any time anyone but City wins the title it’s a miracle. Liverpool wins were miracles. When you play in a league against a side with no financial limits, anything you get is an anomaly.
City are a behemoth of corruption and financial firepower unlike anything ever seen.

STOP PROTECTING SAKA AND RICE.

Arsenal will crumble from here I fear. There are no winners in the locker room. Not really. Hope I’m wrong

Please give Carrick the job full time. Will keep United mid table for the foreseeable future

Very happy to see Martin off.!)3: been awful today. Can’t have that from your captain. Put up or get lost

Get Odegaard off now. He’s not up for the fight

Play like cowards. Get chinned.

Arsenal: Play. They can’t play with you. Keep ball on ground and be ruthless.
Where are Saka, Rice, and Odegaard. Another game where we need a big moment from our best and they are invisible

Arsenal are incapable of playing Manchester United. We always play the badge, never the team on the pitch. Very frustrating

My fear is that even with democrats winning midterms, they will continue the status quo. They cannot repeat the same mistakes as Biden. It cannot be business as usual.
Accountability and the rule of law must be restored. The middle and lower classes need financial relief. Anything less is failure

I admire Artetas resolve to win every game. But it’s impossible in this fixture calendar. Would happily get slapped 5-0 at Inter if it meant wins against United and Leeds. Not him. I fear this selection will really cost us against United

I think Gyokeres will have a big second season. It’s a huge spotlight in a new league. The team is not set up to play with someone like him and he’s having a serious confidence crisis.
He’ll take his pellets this year and rightly so, but I do think he’ll have an impact once the load is shared.

The bare truth is that if Arsenal fail to win the title because of a lack of goals, players will see Rice, Saka, and Odegaard as losers.
They can write a different story or they can accept it

Still don’t understand what happened to Saka. His output has been atrocious for someone meant to be on the level of Salah and Haaland. When a team fails, you look at the stars. He must do more.

Arsenal should have had a penalty. But it would have glossed over another awful performance when we needed to show strength. We seem incapable of widening the gap in a significant way when given the chance

Another missed opportunity for Arsenal. Leave the door open long enouuh and City will march through it.
Pathetic. Cowardly performance. A team that hasn’t won anything still not looking like they have what it takes. So so disappointing

Bukayo Saka once again failing to make an impact when we need him most.
If we’re going to criticize our players we need to do for our best.
He has not been anywhere near the level we need him

Arsenal have a massive test today. Tough ground. Tired legs. Big opportunity after City result.
Getting the gap to nine points would be massive. We balked against Liverpool. Need to take advantage today.

Forest away between Chelsea and Inter is a classic trap game. Will be a very difficult match for Arsenal. But a win would be absolutely huge
