Prediction
Brentford 0-2 Arsenal

 

[BaZZe]

Brentford are very tough to beat at home, result nothing to scoff at.

 

[Gooner Zig]

Saka's crossing is unreal - he should have had two assists (Jesus should have buried his cross)

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Brentford shouldn't have that higher Xg all thier Xg from Zinchenko and Ramsdale mistakes

 

[Riou]

Maybe Arsenal will drop points next week for ya haters, but THIS weekend is ruined for you ****s!

 

[SA Gunner]

The biggest problem is chance creation. We were absolute poverty today with it regardless of how much control we had

Yeah.

We arent able to creating the openings we need, and we allow the opposition to reset their defence over and over again.

We need to be more incisive and clinical. Its one thing to pin teams back, but its more important to create proper openings from that pressure cooker situation.

I’m not expecting much from Kai over the next couple of months, but this could give him enough breathing room to allow him to be a steady performer to find his feet at the club.

Yeah basically if Ødegaard isn't in rare form then we can't create enough chances

 

[sdotzdot]

Ramsdale - 7
Tomi - 6
Saliba - 6
Gabriel - 6
Zinchenko - 6
Rice - 8
Trossard - 5
Ødegaard - 5
Saka - 6
Jesus - 5
Martinelli 5

Yeah ramsdale was good but no one wants to be honest.

Him and Raya will always just have those clown moments tbh it’s kind of peak now for us at GK.

 

[TriniGunner]

As much as I’m convinced Timber is a good signing, do you think a defender would help in this situation? We need a goal.

The main issue here is that our team is set up horribly.

Timber was bought for these kinds of games. He takes the ball and carries it deep into the midfield with his runs thus forcing disorganisation in the midfield for the opposition and pushing them back. Defenders who are ball carriers are critical to breaking down low block teams or teams who have a good defensive shape.

 

[Melquiades]

Huge win to scrape out. Lack of end product a bit concerning but Brentford also defended really, really well.

Happy for Havertz.

Ramsdale was good in the 2nd half after being shocking in the first half.

Doesn’t happen often so I’ll say that young ref was very good. He didn’t draw the lines on the weird VAR and was in control otherwise and no weird calls at all. Nice ro also see a referee from West Sussex instead of ‘grew up 2 minutes from Old Trafford, family has season tickets’.

 

[KarlAFC]

I'm telling you, if your team wears a red and white line shirt, you'll always play anti football. Atletico, Paraguay, Brenford, Sheffield, it can't be mere accident!

Sunderland too.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

We

I’m not expecting much from Kai over the next couple of months, but this could give him enough breathing room to allow him to be a steady performer to find his feet at the club.

If that don't give him some kick start then its not great sign he desperately needed something to ease the pressure now all he need to do the same

 

[SA Gunner]

Brentford shouldn't have that higher Xg all thier Xg from Zinchenko and Ramsdale mistakes

True, I think those two situations you mention are probably as high as penalties.

Other than that, they couldnt even counter attack enough tonight. We shut them down nicely for most of the game.

 

[TriniGunner]

Yeah basically if Ødegaard isn't in rare form then we can't create enough chances

He needs Partey. He's a much better player with Partey. As good as Rice is, we're still lacking in control of the midfield and Partey is very very good at control and passing.

 

[Melquiades]

Good kicks out, strong hands, had some very very good pinpoint passes through the middle a few times too.

Arteta is at fault for both of them being clowns now though, he’s created this mess.

He should have given away a goal on one of the worst blunders you’ll see by any keeper this season. When you have a moment like that it’s never a ‘good game’.

He did play well in the 2nd half but the first 45 was a clown show that we’re very lucky didn’t cost us.

 

[Mohamed7]

KAI TOOK US

Ramsdale or Raya, this has become what I expect from either of them so it doesn’t shock me anymore.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

We need to do something centrally we can't keep on our wingers do make something someone need make runs from deep that how the goal came in 1st half too.

Also try shooting thst something we rarely do

 

[Legend14]

He needs Partey. He's a much better player with Partey. As good as Rice is, we're still lacking in control of the midfield and Partey is very very good at control and passing.

Agreed, but the ship has likely sailed. Ødegaard will need to figure it out.

 

[TriniGunner]

Yeah.

We arent able to creating the openings we need, and we allow the opposition to reset their defence over and over again.

We need to be more incisive and clinical. Its one thing to pin teams back, but its more important to create proper openings from that pressure cooker situation.

We aren't controlling any football games without Partey.
