A very frustrating result, rather than performance, today. Although SU probably should have scored in the first half we in effect gave them one chance in the second half and they scored. We should have killed the game way before that though. Ironically at times we looked void of ideas going forward plus Lacca is a very blunt pencil currently. Not sure If he is still carrying an injury but he never pushed to get into good positions. However, I remember when we went on a winning run under Emery but we all knew it was papering the cracks, whereas I think it's more the opposite currently, performances are much better but we're just not getting the results. Still I think if we keep playing like we are, results will come. Also good performances from most, Pepe showing signs of what he is, Torreira the engine we so desperately need in midfield and Luiz looked solid. Martinelli looks good, and makes good runs, which we just need the midfielders to spot. Even Mustafi and Xhaka looked OK today, with the former making a couple of key interceptions and some lovely through balls. If both can just cut that occasional silly pass out of their performance, we might actually see a few start to change their mind about them.

Our lack of fullbacks is really killing us. Just have to look at Digne, the Liverpool duo, Cresswell etc to see what a decent fullback brings and our stopgaps are struggling.

Good post though, agree with every word. Laca really needs a break, hasn't looked like scoring in months. Gabi on the other hand scores every time he seems to touch the ball, deserves a shot up front next match.

Performances are worth more than points for us between now and May, in the long term what good would 3 lucky points do us if we conceded 22 shots against and only created 7 as we were pretty Artetta?

The rest of this season is all about performance attitude mentality effort progress, next season points will be much more important hopefully but top 4 was already gone long before Arteta arrived.

I see the rest of this premier league season as an extended 2020/ 21 preseason of which will reap big rewards come next August.
