Not much to say about the game. Same old same old. Injuries have killed us this season.

Scored the most goals in 2024. Not signing Isak few years ago will be Arteta and Edu's biggest regret. Havertz is not awful

NLD and Villa to come. 120 minutes played yesterday. Team looking extremely tired. I am very worried.

Yesterday was brutal. Don't think I have ever left a game feeling quite so low with where the team is at. Usually like to see the positives. But multiple injuries paired with lack of cutting edge has me very worried. We need to dip into the transfer market

Feels like the season has unravelled. Can't go on like this

That first half was definitely something

Braving the cold today. Strong lineup. Basically full strength minus Rice. Desperately need a win and a convincing performance.

Might be back on after that Liverpool result

I think that's arsenal's title chances gone

Fantastic win, great start to 2025. Plenty of time left in this title race. Nwaneri excellent. Calafiori was worrying but hopefully that is just down to lack of game time. Onwards to Brighton

Arsenal and Liverpool went through that, it can easily be changed

I think Amorim has until the end of February if things haven't picked up he is in deep trouble. United are closer to relegation than top 4

Of course. So many other issues at hand. But once those issues are solved is Amorim the right man? Could be a case of actually none of this is the right fit. Arteta was lucky he had full backing of the board and his vision and they decided to see it through, although he was close to being sacked

Can't continue like this though. Graham potter lost 11 out of 31 and was sacked. Amorim already lost 7 out of 11. Depends if the board have confidence he is the man to turn it around. Could be a case of a bad hire

When do questions of Amorim get asked? I know he has walked into a s**t show. But you can't keep a manager for the sake of it unless you are confident they will deliver results

Thoughts on the game
- First half once again laboured
- Kiwior just isn't good enough
- Stop putting Partey right back
- Sterling looked good
- Jesus took his goals fantastically well. Hopefully a big confidence boost

Not sure about that one

On the way to the game. Desperately need to win. Arteta needs a trophy. Tierney starting, this will probably be more of an audition for a January move. Let's hope sterling and jesus can get some form.

Lastly. I can only assume we are cancelling Sterling's in January. Last 2 games we have been desperate for a goal and we haven't called upon him

Also, something is not right with Odegaard. An unusually poor performance from him. Being pulled off after 60 minutes when we need a goal is concerning

Thoughts on the game:
- Once again slow Conservative start
- Saka only player who looks like they might score from open play
- Lewis-Skelly very good again
- We are not in the title race and I suspect we will shift focus to Champions League come February

Very flat first half. Becoming common for Arteta's Arsenal

Assistant manager chip. Games gone

Crucial win though and that should be us into the last 16 and avoid the extra two game play off. The Arsenal are marching on

Thoughts on the game:
- Overall good performance controlled most of the 90
- Lewis-Skelly looks fantastic, tierney will be off in January
- Martinelli lucky to not be sent off
- Should have be at least 2 nil up at half time
- Need to stop being so slow first 15 of the second half

68 points. Green arrow to 390k 🌎 3 FT. Dont think I'll make a transfer this week

Frustrating draw. Martinelli looked sharp when he came on, but why be offside there, absolutely no need. Jesus very poor. We are clinging onto this title race.

Huge second half coming up. If we lose I think that is it for a title challenge. I would make changes now
