Loss Arsenal 1 - 2 Brighton and Hove Albion | Saturday 9th April | KO: 15:00 BST

Last night's game was arguably our worst game of the season. It was November-December 2020 bad. It brought out the worst in our team and exposed our weakness. We've been on a run of games where we've been playing teams that sit off us and allow us to have the ball which is usually our strength. Paddy identified this exploited it beautifully.
Collectively we were bad, individually were atrocious.

Brighton is another team that likes to have a go and not sit off teams. It will be interesting to see how Mikel adapts to this. Last night's game was a must win game simply because we have 3 difficult fixtures (Chelsea, united and Sp**s) that we most certainly will drop points in. We can't be dropping points to Palace when we still have to play those teams.

The real worry now is Partey not being injured. It seems as if he was playing with some discomfort throughout the second half.

Prediction
Arsenal 1-0 Brighton

Back 5 until the end of the season please

Depending on injures but we should win and give acceptable performance the players knew they dissapointed the fans big time yesterday.

Get 3 points and move on every point is important at this stage.

Brighton have one win since Boxing Day, which came on February 12. You know what that means @El Duderino

Need Tomi comeback and Cedric at LB .
If Tomi won't comeback, we have to turn the back 5

Southampton also not won in like in many games too? Man this is worrying now.

Brighton not only can't win they struggling to score too

Sp**s fans use this meme, about them not winning any trophies, with Bart as an Arsenal fan.

I have no idea why they do it though, all it does is make their team look absolutely pathetic

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Anything other than a win is simply inexcusable here. Our margin for error is now incredibly low. This is where we need to put a Wenger-esque top 4 run together.

 

[Riou]

Important match this, tbh.

We need to bounce back, our Europa League qualification for next season is at stake!

 

[Saudi-Gooner]

A very crucial game indeed!

 

[14Henry]

Need to win this and win it emphatically. No drab 1 0 win with a penalty. No own goals. Those results were fine before.

Time to bounce back with a decent comfortable win. 2 or 3 0. Need this team scoring goals and getting the confidence to kill teams off instead of hanging on.

 

[Taneruit]

Even in the best case scenario Partey isn't playing this. 4 days is just too short of a turnaround.

 

[Rex Stone]

We’re winning this

Even if @Taylor Gang Gunners chats his usual matchday sh*te.

 

[2Smokeyy]

Our fans need to shout “shoot”

 

[Macho]

EZ Points.

@Tree Points getting called easy...I love this game!

Not surprised when your guys can't even score goal.

 

[AberGooner]

Best fixture we could've asked for after last night. 3-0 win.

 

[freeglennhelder2]

Got some club level tickets for this one. Will be able to watch our season crash and unravel in the finest luxury, like any true middle class hardcore Arsenal fan.

@Oxeki how did you forget this Cech masterclass in your OP...




...you should start at least one thread this season, with nothing but videos of defeats
