I know it's a good position for us but we are slowing it down when there would be no risk in going forward quickly

How are we best team in league. Shocking slowness and pathetic timewasting since we scored. Put opposition under no pressure. Ref will get more annoyed with us and that will not help

Why are raya and our centre backs obviously told to build so painfully slowly from the back while the space for our forward players shrinks. Huge reluctance to play the obvious ball at times also. #arsecastextra

Elite defence that plays keepball slowly until our average attack have give up hope of it ever coming forward

Scathing today🤣

Why do we build so slowly from the back. Allows lesser opposition to get comfortably set up. Saliba particularly guilty. And as for Ben whites glacial pace for throw ins ffs

We do waste time though. Either that or we are really bad at taking throw ins!! It turns refs against us and taking forever for every set piece I think gives the opponents time to get set andslows any momentum

We never respond well to adversity. The time wasting allows opponents to compose themselves and annoys the refs. Last throw in summed it up. Partey took so long the final whistle went
