Well things just got more complicated with that penalty.

That was the kind of lacklustre post international break match that I became accustomed to with Arsenal a few years ago. Been a while. Especially with Arsenal’s away form in 2024, that was a very poor performance. Trossard really sold Saliba short.
That midfield trio just didn’t click today. Thought Partey was good again however the lack of creativity was glaring. Odegaard the obvious factor. However if Martinelli was fit to start I would’ve preferred Havertz and Trossard do their thing again. Anyway lots to learn from that loss. No Saliba for Liverpool.

well... 
Almost need 9 points from those next 3 league fixtures, especially after losing this morning. Some tough away matches there.
Preston should give the opportunity to rotate. Shakthar at home next up, I would give very strong consideration to starting Nwaneri. That much needed ability in the absence of Odegaard to unpick the lock in the final third.
Martinelli really should’ve buried that this morning. And a minute later, they’re ahead as we get caught with the short corner. Damn.
The fitness of Timber becomes even more crucial now. For me it should be White next to Gabriel and then Timber in at RB for this one.
Arsenal’s next six fixtures:Shakhtar Donetsk H Liverpool H Preston A Newcastle A Inter Milan A Chelsea A
Saliba will be keeping game fit

No Saka no Timber in the squad.
Jesus captain, he’s a different player in the champions league. Looks like Trossard will play off Havertz which I much prefer. Lots of youth on the bench.
Only ten minutes and my theory that Jesus takes too many touches has another few examples already. He really needs a goal to relieve the pressure on him. Even a fluffed tap in from his shoulder or back or something. He needs it.
Mudryk in the crowd.

Own goal rebounded off the keeper’s backside, 1-0. It was coming.
Hopefully this game gives Martinelli the chance to reset his confidence. Looking really good thus far.
He’s been a constant threat on the left. We seem to operate so much better on that side of the pitch with Calafiori and Martinelli, and Trossard in the inner channels.
Merino on for White. Partey to RB perhaps.
Prime opportunity here to give Nwaneri 25-30 minutes.
Almost another back pass calamity from Trossard there.

Very sloppy this half. Need to change something up before disaster strikes.
Not a good patch here. Unusually flat.
Groin or ankle for Calafiori? Landed awkwardly. Geez, not another defender out for the weekend.
Shades of Wenger with that ridiculously oversized jacket that Odegaard is wearing

Didn’t even notice that live and there was barely an appeal for handball. On replay though yep that’s a penalty.
Pretty much sums up Trossard’s night.
If you’re going to go down the middle surely you hit it with more power and height.
No Saka, Odegaard or Jorginho on the pitch. So I guess that’s why it fell to Trossard.

A skanked in equaliser for Shakthar on the cards any moment here.
