The adrenaline, chemistry and fluidity we witnessed in the NLD has disappeared, we are back to default setting.

This is not looking good at all

Come on guys! Just settle with possession and get compact. Brighton are a well coached side so I expect this level of performance from them.

Half time can come soon enough. We needed that.
I just hope that these guys bring a better half than the nonsense they displayed in the first half.

Tomiyasu welcome to the premier League
That cucurella na bastard
We need change of approach in the second half, the personnel are okay for now.
Auba is always like this when the team is not playing well, I won't mind laca coming on

If you wan know the real auba na from first minute
This one won't do shít today

Omo. See how Lallana dey boss Midfield. Curry dey real show Tomiyasu palaver.


Partey needs to practice his shooting abeg. What's all that. Even Bellerin does better jare. No excuse.

Laca press is needed. I don't get what Auba is doing. Those CKs are scary. I kinda see some kinda Spanish Influence on Brighton football. Its too evident. But Arsenal are giving them too many spaces. I hope that space doesn't turn to what brings their goal. Troussard on a whole new level but his shooting is worse than Partey's. Else, that's two goals.


That Smith Rowe run, who else noticed that nobody from the Midfield followed to be with auba in the box? Isnt that horrible? Very disgusting to me. So the chances of goal from such crosses are solely on Auba. No hope that an Arsenal fan will be at the end of any of that. They all just stayed in the middle, far from the box. Pissed at that.

Odegaard come on na.. Losing important possession and not even tracking back

Those are the sort of unpredictable passes we need to feed our forward players.

Jodera I tell you
This one won't do shít today
If he wasn't off he won't score

I dey believe you Gabriel

Space Exploitation continues.

And Partey?!

So cucu na Spaniard?

Better player.

I see Pepe. Be like his dribbling is needed. I know that's why he's coming on.

Good substitution.. Odegaard was not influencing the game and Brighton were exploiting the space he was not covering to find open players. We need quick forward passes that open plays.

I no understand this our tactics at all. Are we pressing or not? One player is pressing and the rest of the guys decide to sag, meanwhile the defense if high. Which kain wahala be dis abeg!

The space Exploitation is also Lokonga's and Partey's. This midfield pairing no be am. Lets see what Pepe will bring. A pity these guys know how to exploit. Just not clinical in all attempts.

Laca on finally. Laca supposed to start this match if Arteta understood how Brighton plays. But as usual, he trusts his tactics to always out tops. Smh.

He was telling a Tierney that went back to defend to run forward. To where?

A big portion of the issue is the formation. How do you surrender possession to Brighton who are playing a back 3 with 5 midfielders, 6 if you include Trossard who joins them in the middle when they have the ball? Isn't that suicidal? That means whenever Brighton have the ball, which is like every time, they have 6 players as against our 4, I am not including Odegaard because he was not helping out. So you see, Partey/ Lokonga can only do so much if the tactics is faulty.

Do ar-senal corner kicks every gets to an arsenal head ever?

Those two aren't even challenging either. Lazy attempts. See that side when Tomi was overrun, Partey supposed to fill in and cover. He didn't.

Naaaaa..Saka or the winger should be helping out Tomi. If you drag Partey to that wing, that will be disastrous because you leave the front of the defenders open especially if a cross comes in.

Ramsdle with a good save

Partey again allows that guy ease to head that CK. Smh

Wassuping?

This Cucurella dey disturb oh

Atall. Cucu has beaten Tomi and he easily strolled into to give a dangerous cross. Partey shouldn't have made it easy for him. By looking at a 3 stroll in. Who cares what defence front needs in that situo?

Lol... Laca even changed our game for the better sef

A bad performance if you ask me.. The only positive is that we did not lose/ concede.

Make I no hear anybody say hope they for this Pepe
He's way beyond redemption, he can't beat my grandma one on one

Ramsdale over Leno any day any time
That one hand save is a goal against Leno we have conceded alot like that

Omo... Pepe no be am.
Na just deliverance we need for him head, cos if na just him improvement, him don over us be that
