Arsenal FC

To find out when Arse have conceded just open twitter and you will see david luiz trending.
The battle for 10th place is well and truly on

To be fair it was more Kolasinic who was at fault than David Luiz.

On the plus side, if you look at the PL table since the start of 2020, Arsenal are in 4th having conceded 14 goals. That is the 5th best defensive record in the league since the start of 2020 & only one goal more than Liverpool who have the best defensive record all year round. Arteta has done a lot of work with our defenders & if he can do that with those three bombscares at the back imagine what he can do with some half decent defenders

Which players would Arsenal fan's like to see the club sell and buy in the summer?

Yeah Kolasinac should have lifted his head up or passed to Tierney. I think potentially we have two great wingbacks in Bellerin and Tierney but to me it seems the other players don't trust to pass to Tierney as much for some reason, not sure why because he's been one of our best and consistent players since the return. As for the rest of the defence just simply unreliable and I don't think one player in Saliba will be the answer

I think we need to be realistic, we are not in a position where we can go out & drop big fees on each player, I have never thought that signing Upamecano, one of the best up & coming defenders from a team that plays in the latter stages of the Champions league was ever going to happen. So i think we need to look down table, at the bright performers.

Defensively I would like us to look at Ake, Dunk & Soyuncu. I know Leicester are not down table but their current trajectory certainly is.

In the midfield I would say Ndidi, Rice & Doucoure. There will of course be a lot of competition for Ndidi & Rice many may raise an eyebrow at my mentioning of Doucoure but I think he is underappreciated & let down this season by his Watford team mates, would he get into the starting line up ? Perhaps not but we need strenght in depth & he would certainly add a physical presence that Arsenal have been lacking since Vieira left.

Going forward I think Emiliano Beundia would be a shrewd move, not a household name in The PL with only 7 assists but he is playing for a Norwich side in the PL that are the lowest scorers, he was 5th in the league for chances created last week, though that may have changed given how fast the games are coming right now. Also I would like to see us go for Celtic's Odsonne Edouard.

There are not many players I want to see leave the club, I wouldn't shed a tear if Mustafi & Kolasinic left but as I said you want strength in depth & they have improved under Arteta. I have nothing against Ozil other than the fact we are paying big wages for him to not play. I don't know what the situation with Auba is but if he wants to go then take the money for him & Lacazette who I like but hasn't really delivered. That would leave us needing another striker, Wout Weghorst is one of the top goal scorers in The Bundesliga, he has been linked with us, was asked about it & replied "that would be nice" & his current team Wolfsburg are 7th so you would think it would be easier to get than the likes of Upamecano

Did we deserve to win tonight? Who cares

Liverpool's defence tried to do their best impression of ours and succeeded, I've been impressed with Martinez since Leno's injury, very commanding goalkeeper. Onwards to the fa cup, just the small task of an in form Man City side but one of the most noticeable things Arteta has done is we are playing as a team rather than individuals

COYG!!!!!!!

we're gonna win the league!

That win takes Arsenal to third in the table for 2020 & 1st since the restart, all be it United have a game in hand that would see them replace us in both positions.

Arsenal have been known as struggling to beat the bigger teams since Arteta has taken over our record against the 8 teams above us is W 4, D 2 L 2 having beaten United, Liverpool, Sheffield United & Wolves. Drawn to Leicester when we should of won but went down to 10 men, away to Chelsea when we had 10 men for 64 mins. Our two defeats were against Spurs which we should of won and away to City where we were down to 10 men for almost the entire 2nd half

Of course this doesn't guarantee us a place in the top 4 next season, United are improving, Chelsea & City will spend the cash with impunity so it will be a real tough battle, but if we can get a decent defender or two & the squad continues to improve we should see a big improvement next season

How Trent Alexander Arnold wasnt sent off with VAR check when Arsenal had player sent off for same type of tackle is amazing and totally inconsistent
