Dreadful game, played by two poor teams, just separated by one team who tries to get the ball forward but doesn't have good enough players to do it, and the other that has good enough players but has no idea how to get the ball forward.

Not here to ruffle feathers, but I’m not sure you do have good enough players. There’s some potential in some of your youth, but any team that has Xhaka as a “captain” like influence needs to be dismantled. Your keeper likes to make simple saves look spectacular but he’s the media darling right now. PEA looks like he’s finished. And Lacazette looks like he’s still trying to get started. I think it’s always dangerous taking an assistant from a team with unlimited resources and assuming he knows how to work without them.

Reminds me of us when we had Charlie Adam, Stewart Downing and Glen Johnson. Inconsistent all around. Just when you thought they had turned a new leaf, right back to square one.

I don’t envy your team…it took a once in a generation manager to turn us around. I don’t think Arteta will ever be called that.

Good points apart from the Ramsdale comment, he’s been absolutely superb and very consistent.
