Draw PL: Arsenal 3 - 3 Southampton | Friday, April 21 | KO: 20:00 BST | Sky Sports

20:00 kick off, so no sunlight in this for Casper to go missing as every dog in the PL will be watching this game closely on a Friday night after a long week at work:

Form:



If Saliba isn’t fit then I’d start with this:

Trossard
Martinelli Ødegaard Jesus
Zinchenko Jorginho
Tierney Gabriel White Partey
Ramsdale
​

Partey can invert during the game next to Jorginho with Tierney playing in a 3 at the back similar to what Pep is doing. We’ll have more bodies in the middle of the pitch and dominate the game imo which we’ve been lacking in recent games.

This is our best time to try something different and be creative before we go to the Etihad.

Arsenal 4-0 Southampton

Let’s FOGGIN DO THIS!!!!!!

 

[ArsenalInMyHeart]

If either Saliba or Xhaka don’t play against City the title is done

the title is already done you think we will win at Etihad

 

[Bloodbather]

Were we unlucky? Yes. Does that mean this was acceptable? No.

A draw here is no better than a loss. We bottled it.

 

[SA Gunner]

Jesus cannot be out starting CF with such performances as well, it’s not good enough for a team chasing the league.

We need clinical finishing upfront, otherwise we are dead in the water.

 

[GLITCH]

What a rollercoaster of emotions that has left me ultimately deflated.

At least I'll take a consolation prize from my measly bet builder win that was looking bleak until Saka and Ødegaard scored.

 

[A_G]

I'm genuinely mystified at where this confidence, admirable as it is, comes from?!!

We’ve been very good in every big away game, including City at the Etihad. It’s effectively a cup final and the players will be focused like they haven’t been before.

 

[Blaziken]

Should’ve won the game with 8 minutes of extra time, but what happened to var? Didn’t bother to check the Jesus challenge.

 

[Oxeki]

I would have taken a point when Southampton scored their third. Losing at home to the worst team in the league would have been embarrassing. So coming back to draw level is not a bad result. At any other stage of the season, it would have been a decent result.

 

[Armige]

Partey couldn't have been any worse today i feel, especially from one of the more experienced players in the team.

 

[blaze_of_glory]

Trossard lost his spot despite being incredible. Awful team selections recently ffs.

Jesus was also good in every game since he's back until this one

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

Okay. This always seems to happen vs saints. It's deflating. So many bad performances. Credit to Martinelli and Saka. They carried us tonight. The players look drained but it's now technically out of our hands and maybe we play better with the pressure off. It's got to be said that Arteta is getting his team selections wrong so let's hope we are as good vs them as we were last season at home, with the reverse result.

 

[Ind0Gunnerz]

Ramsdale did a piece on Sky talking about guide dogs or something.

Does he ****ing need one, ****ing stop kicking it to opposition players

That was totally careless. No one was pressuring him, and he just passes casually to a player that is defended by two players. At the first minute. Aghhh

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

The mistakes are so many the team not doing the basics arteta trying and motivate them but clearly they lack something important.

7 goals conceded last 3 games 3 points from 9 is not good enough.

 

[Blaziken]

And partey can go **** himself the useless bastard

 

[lamby22]

Absolutely pathetic performance and result. Offcourse they can play better in the end when 1-3 down with no pressure. Where was this intensity all game?

Only really cranked it up in the last 10 or so minutes when the game looked gone and the pressure was off.

 

[ptrcopp]

the title is already done you think we will win at Etihad

It doesn’t feel like it’s in our hands anymore, that’s for sure

 

[Taneruit]

Didn't deserve a draw, glad we got it.

All Im going to say. Fuming right now.

 

[avenellroad]

This game is proof that shock results will happen in the next 5 weeks.

City will just motor though now and just keep their foot on our neck.

Only way we throw a spanner in the works is if we beat them on Weds and that is not happening.

 

[MartiSaka]

This game is proof that shock results will happen in the next 5 weeks.

No evidence it will happen with city

 

[WorldbestMartinelli]

Arteta is holding back this players..

How is Viera getting more minutes than Trossard and Nelson? He is his biggest enemy

 

[BergMan]

Even if Saliba is back I’m not confident of a win at the Etihad. We just conceded 3 to the team at the bottom.
