Done well, with 4 in just first half? If they did not do well nko, they will be loosing by 8 goals?

Yeah but assuming these Liverpool kids were playing Arsenal then it would 4-4 now. Yes Aston Villa could have probably scored more than 4 now, they have had like 4 chances in the 2nd half to extend their lead.

That's not Liverpool playing but just a bunch of inexperienced teenagers wearing Liverpool jerseys.... They have done well to be only losing 4-0 to Aston Villa.

baba, u really watch the match and did a thorough analysis fr0m a neutral view. Arsenal were so slow, man. Slow to everything. Gave de bruyne t0o much space that it appeared they didn't have any tactics. T0o predictable in attack, slow to defend. And it was oly in the 2nd half that they tried being a little aggressive, but by then it was too freaking late. U saw how man city neutralised that arsenal threat who was causing them troubles at the wing? They tactically injured him and t0ok him out of the game. Arsenal had s0me neat chances yesterday that had a team like wolves had them, they'd have caused city problems. City didn't play to their best like they did against man u yesterday.

By the way I'm not a neutral, I'm an Arsenal fan, been watching the Premier league and champions league since I was a kid.

Minemrys:
oh, my brother, u said it all. I was saying this at the viewing centre. Man City have this strategy employed by Guardiola of c0mmitting tactical fouls against threatening opp0siti0n, and Arsenal went t0o soft on man city, and t0o slow. The goals man city sc0red could've been preventd had Arsenal players taken it up0n themselves to be aggressive and c0mmit fouls at key positi0ns that would bear no c0nsequences prior to the build up in such goals. And to think Arsenal were h0me. They went too soft in this match.

Yes, Manchester City commits a lot of tactical fouls, that's how they win back possession and stop dangerous counterattacks, it's a big part of their game. I thought they were average and felt that Arsenal could get at them but Arsenal were so poor themselves and didn't get the basics right, including in attacking and defending. Most Manchester City players yesterday weren't great apart from De Bruyne, He was also great because Arsenal players gave him a lot of room to do whatever he wanted. Arsenal players like Aubameyang, Ozil, Pepe and Martinelli were never given that kind of space and freedom that both De Bruyne and Sterling got yesterday. All the three goals would have been prevented if Arsenal players were more aggressive and had a good team shape when defending. It's funny that before the 3rd goal Manchester City had already committed 12 fouls to Arsenal's one. It shows that Arsenal weren't working hard when they were out of possession and were not taking out Manchester players when they wanna attack.

Ljungberg is a clueless manager, because the first thing he should have known is that in order to create a chance against Manchester City and get around their tactical fouls, you must play the ball very quickly, one touch football most times. Arsenal rarely did that but rather Arsenal was slow and predictable with their movement and passing. Then on the defensive side, be aggressive and take out their players when they wanna start a counterattack and position yourselves well in order to win the 2nd ball. Sometimes I do wonder what they do in training every week because they are not even getting the basics right both in defending and attacking.

Manchester City weren't even good today but they still beat Arsenal 3-0, Manchester City committed 25 fouls against Against Arsenal and could have conceded at least one penalty if the dullards in the VAR room were competent. That been said, Arsenal didn't do themselves any favors by playing in such a tepid manner, very slow attacking build up and they weren't aggressive off the ball and and didn't effectively close down or block dangerous Manchester City players.

Arsenal didn't play to their strengths today because of how slowly they moved the ball and they didn't overlap well from the wings, this allowed Manchester City defenders to have a comfortable game. This is gonna be one of the easiest away game for this Manchester City against any top 10 team in the Premier league this season.

Arsenal need to get a capable manager who's gonna get back to the basics and bring out the best in the team. Ljungberg is clueless and is a Swedish version of Unai Emery. Arsenal will finish 10th or lower if he's still there till the end of the season.

I wonder how Standard Liege committed 17 fouls without receiving a single yellow card, the referee allowed them to be too aggressive with these young Arsenal players. Arsenal now topping the group means they will avoid the dropouts from the Champions league groups in the round of 32 knockouts but if Arsenal don't improve defensively they won't even reach semis of the Europa league.

Good day Fam,

This thing has been bothering me o, I've been gay for about 10years now and I had tried everything but I just couldn't bring myself to love men but this is a testimony.

After years of trying to conform, I finally accepted my fate and I've been living as gay since then but YESTERDAY a Nairalander mentioned me and said he was praying for me and he had commanded me to be straight and just like that, with the snap of a finger, just by saying it and today I woke up STRAIGHT. Praise Be. I'm well now, I swear I am straight.

I used to think women were the most beautiful thing God ever made but not anymore, I am straight now and all it took was a stranger telling me to be straight for me to be straight. Praise Be.

He also commanded me to find a man and get married so I'm here thinking, is there any man that would marry an ex lesbian or should I just join the convent?

Please I am very desperate because I am getting older and I just realized that I wasted years being a lesbian. Find me a man, I'm straight now.

Ehen, when I was still a lesbian which was just yesterday, I published a lesbian romance book on Amazon, if you're still evil minded like I used to be please go to kdp and buy my book. Teinks.

Praise Be.

Please don't send me PM if you're not ready to get married next year. In fact if you're a tall, handsome, dark, man with pink lips and a good job just indicate and I will pm you.


*************
You people sending PM cannot even follow simple instructions. How am I supposed to want to marry you? A man that cannot read and comprehend, is that one a husband material?

I'm straight now o, you people should now allow me revert back to default settings.

I said I will PM you personally if you specify that you're interested. Simple.

You are either now a celibate lesbian or a bisexual. Even if you are a lesbian, you can still marry a man, millions of lesbians all over the world are currently married to men.

sleek82:
crystal....you didn't include "this season", that was what got me confused

OK

sleek82:
I'm not sure I understand your first 2 statements up there

Arsenal has not won a game with more than a goal margin in the Premier league this season, 1-0 away win at Newcastle, 2-1 home win against Burnley, 3-2 come back win at Home with 10 men against Aston Villa and 1-0 home win against Bournemouth. All the wins have been by a single goal margin until 3-1 against West Ham last night.

The last time that Arsenal won an away match when loosing at half time was 8 years ago against Chelsea in October 29th 2011, Arsenal was losing 2-1 at half time but came back to win 5-3 away at Stamford Bridge.

I hope it's all clear now.

kay9:
Same thing Alan Shearer said during halftime commentary. Every single week that style fails them, and yet they never learn.

Meanwhile, can someone tell Xhaka to please look at where he's passing the ball. He's forming useless passing style and keeps wasting the ball.

Xhaka might be short sighted maybe that's why he doesn't pass well and gives the ball to opponents sometimes but what I'm sure of is that he's slow, can't tackle and is not a defensive midfielder.

This is the first time that Arsenal won a game this season in the Premier league by more than one goal margin.

This is the first time that Arsenal have come from behind at half time to win an away game in 8 years.

Arsenal have now ended their worst run of form since 1977 tonight with this 3-1 away win at West Ham.

babyfaceafrica:
they beat Chelsea for Stanford bridge o

Yeah but they are now 5th bottom in the Premier league.

2 underperforming mediocre London teams playing on a Monday night! West Ham is just a bit worse than Arsenal.

Angelfrost:
They are also playing United in the first week of January... December to January will make or break this Arsenal team.

Yeah but they'll be playing Manchester City and Chelsea first which are much more difficult matches although every match is difficult now for Arsenal including against the poor teams.

Angelfrost:
They just have to wake up... Too many tough fixtures ahead: West Ham, Chelsea, Man United...

Arsenal will be playing Manchester City and not United, anyway Arsenal won't win any of these upcoming games if Ljungberg is still in charge.

Timmy301:
Wow
I'm so glad arsenal lost today's match
1_2 Freddie Ljungberg on the wheel


I said it here once, Emery was never the problem
Una dey vez say Emery dey draw
This one no even see draw today

Emery was the problem, Ljungberg was his assistant and it's still playing the same pattern as Emery since he became the interim manager. Ljungberg doesn't have his own identity as the manager so he's part of the problem too.

I see that people are blaming David Luiz for the loss, yes he was poor today and doesn't inspire confidence in the defense when Arsenal is defending but a lot of other Arsenal players were also poor today. Arsenal was cheated in the 1st half and should have gotten 3 penalties by numerous obvious shirt pulling by the Brighton players in the penalty box. Once I heard that the fat referee John Moss was in charge of the VAR room, I just knew that Arsenal won't get any VAR decisions.

Ljungberg is not the right manager for Arsenal because he's still playing the same ineffective formation and tactics used by Unai Emery. This Arsenal team is far better than the current results show and will do much better with a good manager who is tactically astute. Xhaka is not a defensive midfielder, David Luiz is not a defender and Aubameyang and Ozil are not wingers. They should be played in their correct positions.

Arsenal has now not won in 2 months since the 1-0 win at home against Bournemouth, if Arsenal doesn't improve drastically in the coming matches starting from West Ham on Monday then Arsenal can be fighting relegation by January.

Let Mtn improve on their 3G and 4G speeds before switching to 5G. Airtel 3G is currently faster than Mtn's 4G.

gogeekish:
Infinix need to buckle up more... I loved them before because they were the only brand that update their device back then.. But I think they stopped releasing updates...

Well, this should be called S4+ (Plus one camera)

Nope Infinix has always been like this, they used the Mtk 6580 on 7 versions of their Hot series, they used the same processor Mtk 6753 1.3ghz for 3 years without any innovation on the Infinix note 2, 3 and 4 and only changed to Helio P23 in Infinix Note 5. I'm sure they will still use this same helio P22 next year on infinix S6. I wonder why they are not using a better mediatek chipset like the Helio P60 or P70.

Arsenal were even lucky to draw this match 1-1, Emery has taken the team backwards, Arsenal are now playing like a bottom half club.

Arsenal keeper Martinez is a basket, I don't think he has saved any shots tonight. I hope he does better in the penalty shootout.

Arsenal has squandered a 2 goal lead this season but has now squandered a 2 goal lead twice in one match. That has never happened before even during the later poor Wenger days.

VAR fraud! Sports pundits will talk about that Arsenal's disallowed goal for a week. I wonder why the referee himself doesn't go to pitch side monitor and look at the situation.

Kelvin30286063:
Today is the happiest day for me this season. Xhaka deserves more than boo, he deserves a beating off the field.

Xhaka is very slow and cannot tackle, Arsenal hasn't qualified for the Champions league since he signed in 2016. I hope Arsenal sells him in the next transfer window.

Arsenal currently lead 2-1 but haven't played particularly well, they are making a below average Crystal Palace look like a brilliant team. Arsenal has a lot of good players and should be playing much better than this. Unai Emery is not bringing out the best in this team.

Pepe has bailed out Arsenal and Unai Emery with those 2 wonderful free kicks, this wasn't a good performance against the worst team in the group, Vitoria played with a lot of attacking belief and intensity and Arsenal was sloppy in possession. The 2nd half performance from Arsenal was better but overall Arsenal should be playing much better than this against this kind of mediocre opposition. The 3-2 comeback win was nice though.

Arsenal just got beaten by a poor team 1-0. Yes Arsenal were the better team overall and deserved a draw but the clown ref Mike Dean and the delinquents in the VAR room refused to give Arsenal a stonewall penalty for an obvious shirt pull on Sokratis in the penalty box during a corner.

Arsenal did have have a lot possession in the 2nd half but the passes were slow and predictable so didn't dislodge the Sheffield Utd defenders and made them look like world class players while they were below average players.

Pepe missed a very easy chance in d 1st half in which my grandmother would have scored. Unai Emery is as clueless as ever with his tactics and team selection but he's lucky that Arsenal has a lot of good players that will give him results that might be good enough to keep him as a manager for at least another season.

How about 9 reasons why Manchester United will loose to Liverpool?

ndidibabe:
That guy is a flop. Real one!! Arsenal always trying to improve their squad but always make bad decisions.

But Arsenal are currently 3rd in the Premier league unlike Man Utd.

Unai Emery as clueless as ever. His tactics is not bringing out the best in the team. 1-1 draw is a fair result in the end but if Arsenal had a good manager they would have taken all 3 points against this poor Manchester United team away.

That was a good comeback win with 10 men but Arsenal's defense is shocking, they concede so many shots against any opponent that they play. Maitland-Niles should never play right back again for Arsenal. Xhaka is not a defensive midfielder, he's slow and doesn't protect d back four. Arsenal will score a lot of goals this season but will also concede plenty of goals as well. Unai Emery won't last very long at Arsenal if Arsenal's poor defensive performance continues.

That Manchester United's 4-0 win against Chelsea for the first game of the season seems like ages ago now.
