Yeah it sucks. We have to overcome it, and we have overcome much worse. Feel much more bullish about our prospects after today even with this injury news.

I agree, even if our form over the last 5 is third best in the league, but I also don’t believe we will perform like this for the rest of the season. This is a period of poor form. We should expect we will improve and revert to our usual level.

And knowing the quality of the players, that this is below usual standards, an improvement is likely

Absolutely this. You can put a message on a pass, and these palace ones seem so decisive and full of intent. Ours have been the opposite. I really need to see more urgency and hunger in how we attack and move up the pitch.

Relegation is still possible, even if unlikely

Must make sure to enjoy it, might be the last for a year or two!

I feel like he has said something similar before, about being close to the players, putting an arm round them, but I can’t remember when it was so can’t check what the response was!

It’s a v interesting point, isn’t it?
Definitely rings true. At the same time, I believe there‘s too much top talent, in the squad and the coaching team, for it not to improve massively quite soon. Maybe that’s cope.
100% agree on Kai!
Also - is any team’s attack functioning well right now?

Haha never mind. Not worth explaining. Fundamentally i agree with you

Yes of course. It just makes people feel even more annoyed about the result, and that annoyance can bleed into over-criticism and fear

I can’t believe I’m asking this, but if there is any significant concern over Kai staying fit (which surely there must be) then do we need to get another striker in on loan?

I feel like the unholy trinity of poor performance - it being man united - three goals from 0.8xG is causing significant extra reaction (plus backdrop of general title race anxiety). That said, we really were poor after starting well and taking the lead, and it’s hard not to worry about that.

Hope there is some solutions conversation in here, otherwise I’ll need to sit this one out. Gonna be a long week.

Ah man what I wouldn’t give for a really commanding statement performance. Started well and then went to shit after taking the lead, which is somehow more concerning than just being shit throughout.

A very calm assessment. I just can’t understand the apparent lack of urgency in Arsenal’s play when needing to win games.

Thanks Matt. Needed that. I still struggle with what feels like a lack of urgency to win games, or any sense of genuine threat in attack. Still - bad performances happen and sometimes you get footballed. Just hope it’s not a mental block for the players.

Just want to see this side show urgency. Feels like they only have one mode: control.
