PL: Arsenal v Burnley | Sunday, December 13 | KO: 19:15 GMT | Sky Sports

[Rimaal]

Is it 2014 again?

Özil's quality always consisted on hi vision, football IQ and technique, so unless he's had a stroke we're not aware of, those attributes are not dimmed by time. Just because a corrupt soulless board and lickspittle managers tell you he's finished, it does not mean a thing unless you've sold your brain to the tabs.

Manberg taking on an entire mod team and winning.

If you need him to be erm...physically unable to post then I know some people who could sort that out for you.

He reminds me of Agent Smith, from The matrix. Just when you think you got rid of him there are more... we are at what manberg#4

Let’s go.

 

[Red London]

If I'm a left back and I've no man up against me my job is easy. Hold my shape for offside and that's it. If I'm a left back and someone is up against me with support I'm in trouble. My mind is split between the man, the ball, my own position in the line, runners from deep and potentially covering my centre back. It's why we are so easy to defend against and instantly look better once our wingers are up against players with full backs in support.

This right here is why our wingers are completely struggling, especially Pepe. The guy loves those cheeky pockets of space to wrap his left foot around the ball and go for the far post. He rarely gets that opportunity. He has poor decision making and its just getting highlighted and worsened by the fact he has 0 options to pass to or no one taking away defenders or their attention from himself.

When I knew Arsène Wenger’s time was up, I knew. When I knew Özil’s positives no longer outweighed liabilities I knew. When Emery’s time was done, I knew. Therefore I will not bring them up now as weapons with revisionist history against the current.

If someone genuinely wanted AW to stay longer, wanted Özil to not be sidelined, and didn’t want Emery fired, ok. Maybe at some time refresh us all with those comments on record, of course elsewhere, not to start something up here in this match thread. The stuff where in particular this sort of thing has now progressed to Emery over the last few days is crazy!

Are you saying you e decided Arteta's time is up or it isn't yet?

 

[ArtetaOut]

As bad as we are these days, I don't think we're gonna lose to ****ing Burnley. Should be a narrow win for us or at worst a draw. But with Cone Boy's ****ty tactics who knows?

We all pretty much agree that he is in a precarious position, will sink or swim based on results of next three matches. I would easily have cut loose by now if it wasn’t for considering what replacement we could attract and the risk of being in a situation where fans turn on them also within 6-12 months. It isn’t just a thing about our fans, it is more about pace of getting the squad right under this club ownership, i.e. very slow transition.

In a game like this, a draw is basically a loss. Its a must win.

I am very disappointed the David Smith account's been deleted or disabled or something. Can't see his posts anymore, of which he had over 25,000 since 2010. A part of AM died when whichever mod decided to do that. I couldn't even log in on David Smith due to an error, was unneccessary. Disrespectful.

You know whats disrespectful?

David Smith posting that Patrick Vieira 'was a passenger'

Should have been banned and deleted that day IMO

Last team news only pepe Partey not available everyone else is ok Luiz back to full training too.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

There again no time frame for Partey injury. But doubt we'll see him in December

Won’t be used as an excuse for Arteta, injury was exacerbated by his miscalculation. This match is a must win with whatever squad, it is the easiest of the upcoming critical three matches.

You can put blame on medical team first but if Arteta ignore thier advice it's his fault thankfully the injury not serious just get him back when ready.

 

[Riou]

Win this (and the Southampton match) and Europe is back on in the league for us!

At one time maybe.

All I've seen is declining ability, declining output and a player becoming a liability on the field.

 

[GoonerJeeves]

Six pointer in the relegation struggle. Can we man up for this? Can Mustafi channel his inner Keown?

 

[Get These Hands]

We have one of the best in the world sitting at home tweeting.

He got 2 assists last season...

Really? Alrighty then. In which case our entire squad is a liability and we should sell them all, every single one of them, and retire for the season.
Where you see declining ability, I see bad management. And Let's not talk about individual player performance this season, cause that would make a laughing stock of the manager and the board. Oh wait... it already has.

However, I wouldn't worry your little head about Özil, he will never agree to play for this club again.

10 points above relegation if win tomorrow. Massive game imo.
