Not only we have thrown away our advantage, the way we get our goals isn’t filling in confidence for the run in. We are showing the pressure again and again not showing any urgency, passing sideways and back even in 88th minute when we need to score a goal. Well….!

Not sure why Martinelli didn't start, get them on the back foot from the off.

BOTTLE mate - we play with a fear of losing rather than a desire to win. Our striker signings don’t scream “we want to score” yet our defensive signings scream “ it will be difficult to get past us”

Look how boring Eze now looks under Arteta

Bottle - same issue for last 4 or whatever seasons.

I couldn't agree with you more Highbury.
It seems to me we play with the brakes on all the time, slow build up which is suited for CL. Even when we were behind there wasn't no one to take the opposition on and create something. Some people won't like this but apart from the Spurs/Villa home games we have not played well in the Prem. We have assembled a great squad but but it seems hamstrung by tactics.

I would like to try 442 to see if that suits the squad better. Pressure is getting to us. I know teams are hard to break down but we got a lucky goal then sat back. We looked very fragile tactically and mentally. Once again like after Liverpool and Forest games I am really pissed off with a performance which doesn't reflect the quality we have in the squad.

Evening Highbury hope alls well. I wish we would take shots from edge of opposition penalty area. there’s been countless opportunities for us to do so throughout this season, we just seem to always look for an extra pass. other teams do it and profit from it. We just don’t seem to do it as much as other teams. it’s a little frustrating to be honest.

All well mate, a little disappointed with the result today.
Yes, we need to show aggression, pin the opposition back and score goals. Today, Dorgu and Cunha took a chance and it paid off with spectacular goals.

At least when we need a goal we must move the ball quicker and have shots on target. We didn’t have any in the second half except for Merino’s lucky goal.
