We sit a lot deeper. Meaning we are effectively countering. Liverpool was a huge case in point. Dropped 30
Yards from our goal before engaging. Needs change as we are to reliant on set pieces and wingers

Totally. Handbrake on for 3 games. No collective press. Trampoline up front and in the midfield. Not concise. Worrying, but not the manager needs to be braver from the start.

Been coming for three league games. The fact the manager kept playing with handbrake and limited press means it’s on him again. Move the ball far too slowly. Limited creating again. Terribly slow. Expect to see changes for next week.

Mosquera is old school. Gets tight, hassles, gives striker no dodge to turn. Superb player

Do wonder why he played Saka and Trossard so long also. Especially with both likely starting on Sunday.

Really fun game. Feels like more goals. Feel a bit for Zubimendi being exposed as Merino is nowhere and broke on too easily.

Just feel Arteta is still paranoid. Forest poor, no press, scared of counter and Back 4 (particularly Saliba) moving the ball far too slowly.

Brutal but I’ve noticed this with Saliba for a long time. So slow moving the ball… I understand drawing players out etc, but he appears so slow.

Guehi suits Man City and all their owners stand for. Done deal as soon as he refused to wear the lgbt armband.

On the manager mate. They sat deep and refused to engage until they got 35 yards from goal

Worst managerial performance of the season.

So easy for Liverpool. We sat so deep, so negative. They had nobody up top and we just allowed them to have the ball 30 yards in our half with zero pressure. Not the end of the world but Arteta needs to sort his negativity

Worst managerial performance of the season.

We sat off for 10-15 minutes. They weren’t good enough so should’ve stayed on front foot. Hard to complain though, superb second half with joyful cock ups from the overrated ego in goal
December 30, 2025 at 10:58 PM
Huge raise of tempo. Pressed harder and higher and together. Mistakes happen. Superb

No tempo and far too slow moving the ball when they aren’t slowing it down. No dynamism in the central midfield. Saliba needs to start moving the ball quicker

Will never be that day with a striker who isn’t scoring and his replacement who always takes far too Many touches
December 27, 2025 at 5:01 PM
Our lack of clinical finishing luckily not haunting us. Jesus is the same as he’s ever been. Too many touches, never clinical.
December 27, 2025 at 4:59 PM
Definitely need to up the tempo a bit. Understand the walking pace, but a risk if they get back in to it then sit back.
December 20, 2025 at 8:56 PM
It happens and all that matters is 3 points. We will only know how bad this performance is in the next few games.
December 13, 2025 at 10:11 PM
Christ, Some great faces there not seen for a long time!
December 13, 2025 at 10:08 PM
Not sure it’s truly relatively close? Over history, it’s never been close. They last won the league over 60 years ago. It’s just odd we haven’t scored more hat-tricks.
