There's no one in the midfield that wants anything to do with carrying the ball. Could see Guen there just dying to get rid of it but there's no one .
If only the Gunners had a nifty midfielder, good on the ball, who could dribble and pass through a press. Perhaps an accomplished, world class player who had experience doing just that on the biggest stages...
It’s a lack of composure from our midfielders and defenders. I lost count of how many times we could simply trap the ball but instead the player just kicks/heads it to the other team or plays a rushed pass. The players just need to calm down, and I think our play will get better.
Not sure Licht did too much wrong - the rest of the back line was stagnant and that was a peach of a chip by Gundugan.
Take off Koscielny Lich-Mustafi-Monreal-Kola Torreira-Guend Iwobi-Ozil/Ramsey/Suarez-Auba Laca Need some kind of foot hold in midfield
Seriously, what is mustafi doing? He wasn’t down injured or anything. Some good analysis here on Mustafi. This is the first goal. Also probably should have given a penalty away too. pic.twitter.com/woU3Tfol2c— Stephen Drennan (@babuyagu) February 3, 2019
Honesty, we’ve done better than I’d expect so don’t get the negativity. They had a brilliant move for their second and we had an error to gift them their first.
He maybe was a statdna signing and that the kind of brain fart that doesn’t show up in the stats and coaches think they can coach out of him is the only explanation I can think of.
We need creative subs. Emery seems to have forgotten that we need two goals to win this game. At least give us a shot.
Been away for church today so just now tuning in. Can't say I'm surprised but I'm not down about it, given the respective states of each club. Here's to hoping the lads at least finish strong.
