Afraid we have to swallow the rhetoric that's coming this week.

Arsenal, the players and the manager are worthy of criticism after that performance(s). But you're about to see the bash machine go into overdrive.

Gotta get behind 'em, get back to it. Expect a response.

Arsenal needs The Emirates more than ever.

The hope is the boos at full-time are not a sign that many aren’t ready for the challenge of a title race.

Interesting stat for you. Outside of future UCL and FAC draws, Arsenal are due to leave London just 4 more times this season.

From January 25 2025, onwards, the Gunners left London 9 times outside of UCL and FAC games.

Something quite telling that neither Viktor Gyokeres nor Benjamin Sesko start this game.

It highlights the discussion around concerns over available quality in the summer, for centre-forwards, were quite true.

In three of the last four Premier League gameweeks, Arsenal have collected more points than Manchester City.

The gap has opened from 2 to 7 points in that time.

Is the meltdown we're seeing really reflective of the reality?
