PL: Huddersfield Town vs Arsenal | February 9th | KO: 15:00 |

[Notorious Big]

Gonna join EmeryOut camp until he stops starting Mustafi.

You weren't for WengerOut when he signed Mustafi for big money ?

 

[Mo Britain]

Poor performance. For stretches of this game we were outplayed by a team thirteen points from safety.

On the other hand today was St Huddershit Day. They can't overtake us this season anymore.

 

[Sniper Mik]

Don't think I've seen a player worse at finishing than Iwobi. Even Welbeck atleast scores with his knee and his bum

 

[El Duderino]

Huddersfield hadn't score in 8+ hrs before this match.

Glad we won, but this wasn't really a great performance against this year's Derby County.

 

[Giroud12]

Huddersfield are rock bottom of the league with 11 points mate. We shouldn't have made such hard work of things.

What 5 starters are those by the way? Özil? Ramsey?

We might be getting points on the board but our performances leave a lot to be desired

Not a great performance, I agree, but some overreactions on here nonetheless. The starters are Bellerin, Sokratis, Xhaka, Ramsey and Auba with Holding and Welbeck likely.

I was told by people who I clearly now know that don't watch football that he was elite.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

We need 14 points from our remaining 12 games to improve on last season.

We finished last season with 64 points? Ffs

 

[Vantastico]

Mind-numbing performance again from the Boring Arsenal. Maitland-Niles and Mikhitaryan were the only positives to take away from this game.

Iwobi's crossing and finishing ability is shambles, without even touching on other areas of his game. 15m quid player. Hope we can sell him for that and re-coup the Suárez fee.

PS. Good evening @ Unai Emery maybe play Özil some games and win the Europa League this season. Thank you very much.

63. 14 more points (64) is an improvement

All that really matters is that we got top 4 but that depends a lot on how other teams perform. If we get significantly more points than last season that's definitely a step in the right direction. Particularly with our injury woes.

So does our point total if half the league is dogshit. Everything in this game is in relation to other teams. That's the entire point, we aren't playing golf and trying to improve our handicap. If everyone around us picks up more points we haven't really made any progress in relation to the competition.

 

[goonerfamily]

I know you have to take into account our injuries and I'm not going to judge Emery until at least next January but that performance was very disappointing. I wish we'd go with four at the back and play a midfield that would just go for it in more games. We play far too conservatively under Emery at the moment and it's uninspiring

 

[Aevi]

I went back to sleep after seeing the lineup. Good call it seems.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

That just terrible. Clown team.

Bellerin, Holding and Welbeck are out for the season. If we need them to perform better than this we are in serious trouble.

 

[Makingtrax]

Sir Alf Ramsey himself couldn’t lick that lot into shape.

The bottom line is that our squad looks OK with the A listers in there.

There’s a world of difference between that mess out there today and a back 4 of Bellerin Sokratis Kos and Monreal . . behind Xhaka Guendouzi and Torreira. Throw in PEA with Ramsey or Özil and you’ve a team to compete.

 

[Giroud12]

Bellerin, Holding and Welbeck are out for the season. If we need them to perform better than this we are in serious trouble.

Yeah, and the problem is that we have an owner who don´t care. Chelsea or Manu would have gotten replacements in in the January window. Its hard to judge a manager when he has an ongoing injury crisis and no backing.

 

[field442]

It has worked this season tho? Just a shame both Lucas and Guen were poor today.

I'm struggling to think of a game where we played two in midfield while playing well and controlling the game. Fulham away is one that springs to mind. When we play in that formation they struggle to pass the ball forward in midfield. The two of them played 64 passes today and only 11 of them went to someone in Huddersfield's half.

Still, nothing's changed

Liverpool at home?
