Stoke vs Arsenal

I'm ready guys, Monreal in a middle againt Stoke.

Back three still looking suspect with a ridiculous high line, Mert and Koscielny can't come back soon enough

ROBBED

disgusting performance by the ref, yet the commentators of BT give him a pat on the shoulder for his great efforts.

Usually Arsenal win this game easily and there would be silence
Now watch the tired anti Arsenal clishees in every newspaper and forum post

Two hand balls, two fouls in the box so thats four penalties. One wrong off side call. BUT we should have scored more than once atleast.

Welbeck cannot score. Lacazette was isolated by there central defenders. I dont know it was Ozil or Denilson in disguise.

Two left-backs as center-backs and Right-back as left-back, Its a recipe for disaster.

One takeway from the first two games: Xhaka-Ramsey is not a midfield. It's one midfielder + one forward. Xhaka's not a DM. He might play deep but he can't defend, and Ramsey's too busy in the opposition penalty area. It's too easy to get through the middle of our team.

I'm also worried that Xhaka and Ozil have both been poor so far. Xhaka is giving away passes he shouldn't be, and Ozil has been so passive.

The performance wasn't that bad when you look at the amount of chances we created. We should have scored at least one goal, i think with Sanchez on today we score at least 2 and create more chances. For all his quality on the ball Xhaka is costing us goals, his defending is almost is inexistant for someone who plays in front goals. That's 3 goals he has cost us so far this season. For the goal he not only gives the ball away but goes chasing for it in the opposition half leaving a massive gap in front of the back four. Away from home Coquelin should start alongside him or else we will keep having moments like these today where the defense is completely exposed. We had a few of those today on the counter attacks.

Wellbeck should go back on the bench once Alexis is fit. I like what he brings but in front of goals but we can't rely on this guy. He has no composure and his technique in front of goals is poor. You can't miss the chance he got today, crucial moments like these. Back to the bench with Theo and Giroud when Alexis is fit

Those Away games ffs

This is excellent from 7amkickoff on Arsenal's real problem: the midfield.

Ramsey and Ozil can't play in the same team. It is known.
