I don't think they created one single big chance against us while we had 11 players on the pitch.
Arsenal - 2024/25
- Thread starter oneniltothearsenal
- Start date
Don't think either team did until Gabriel fell and which gave Garnacho the freedom of our half to run into.
You set up well. You set up well vs Liverpool. Think everyone has acknowledged that, no?
Mainoo had a shot saved in the first half but yeah, it was rather quiet up until the second half.
It's a little bit more shocking for the home team, overwhelmingly favourite in the tie. As for the second part of your message, I got the feeling the poster was more referencing your lack of cutting edge and incapacity to create from open play rather than our set-up (which was good indeed, and I don't think anyone would dispute it, but that doesn't change that it should be worrying for Arsenal to be just quite so toothless).
I can't have any fun Danny?
Arsenal even with injuries should be strong favourites tonight but anything less than a win and the pressure will go up a notch or two.
I think they’ll win quite comfortably personally, spurs can only play one way and it isn’t the right way to play against arsenal.

I’d love for some Arsenal meltdown to take me through to the weekend
Something crazy like Spurs winning 3-1 or whatever would be lovely.

Spurs are absolute shambles at the moment is the only problem. Got some young midfielder kid playing as one of their primary CB's and some Dragusin guy I'd never heard of partnering him. At least when they got Romero I had heard of him. They also decided that Werner, a player not good enough for Chelsea who were looking for top 4, was a good buy, boggles the mind.
More a game that will get Arsenal back on track with a cruisy 3-0 win at home.
They did miss some big chances against Newcastle and us (Havertz's first one was before the red card). Tonight's game could be the one where shots actually go into net. Something like 3-1/3-2/4-2 Arsenal win. May sound unlikely to some that Arsenal will score 3 or 4 but Spurs won't be compact like Newcastle and United and they're still without their GK and most of starting defence.
Arsenal can capitalise tonight on Liverpool's draw last night. Win against biggest rivals, move closer to Liverpool, potentially get that striker this month and it looks better situation than atm. People are laughing at them atm but it's still a solid position to be in.

Ugh! Their YouTube fans will be insufferable if that happens.
Back to 4 pts minus a game....but we are still obviously not playing that well. This is really a low quality affair overall in the PL this year...noted by the fact that Forest still sit in 3rd overall. Impressive by them, but a bit of an indictment on the league.
Just 4 points off the top now and with Liverpool's game in hand a tough one for them, don't see that extending to more than a 5 point lead. Arsenal may be below par but they're clinging on and Liverpool aren't putting daylight between themselves. Albeit low quality but this will be a title race till deep in April/May.
You have Wolves away next. Has 0-0 written all over it.
Not convincing but keeping a pace to some degree
Don't they have Villa at home next? Reckon they'll just about scrape a win there as well with some dodgy goals from corners.
4 points is 4 points. These games at hand never really give me confidence. So now it’s a tight race.
Arsenal only lost 2 games this year, so its not like they're chasing their own tail. They've got enough in them to keep going in this weak as piss league.
They'd win the league if they sold Declan Rice and stopped trying to make "North London Forever" into a thing. Until they accept both of these things, they'll never compete with the big boys.
They've been competing with the big boys for two seasons and sadly looks like they'll be challenging for the title again this year.
I don't know how much room money wise we have before we get into trouble, but we desperately need some quality attacking reinforcements. Pool isn't that good but we are worse I feel...still. it's a bit of a pathetic battle. Maybe Forrest will pull a Leicester. I am good with that. At least it isn't City.
The point I was trying to make is that everyone keeps mentioning how many clear cut chances Arsenal created, and the context is that it was super bleak while it was 11 vs 11.
All those attacking stats came after Arsenal got the numerical advantage. If you look at the stats, they tell you that Arsenal does not have a problem to create chances. If you analyse the game until minute 60, they absolutely did.
Not completely true. Havertz's first big chance was in 55th minute. Second one he thankfully missed because there's no VAR and it obviously wouldn't be disallowed even though he controlled the ball with his right arm. But I get your point, think we were set up well and 11v11 could've won it like 2-1 or something.
Good God that North London Forever song is some dirge.
I'm surprised if that's what you've come across. On here it's been mentioned loads especially in this thread, I've heard it mentioned lots on the media and other places online as well. Obviously the misses get referenced as well as they are even more relevant when your playing 10 men and don't win.
Arsenal have to be one of the most cringeworthy clubs in the country FFS
Stay strong Gabby and try not to injure yourself while fouling opposition's player next time.

"yeah but it was during the warm-up so it's okay
When they were supposedly challenging 115 the last 2 seasons did anyone genuinely believe they would win the title?
I work with an Arsenal fan and I was so confident that they’d bottle it both times I bet $100 and gave him 3:1 odds on it. Easiest money I ever made.

Ornstein reporting that Zubimendi is in the works for the summer. That would be decent for the next season.
I saw we have the most goals this season and the best defence (after Liverpool). Despite our horrible scoring issues. I do think that scoring stat is probably also flattered by a few thrashing we've given teams. Our defence has let in less than a goal a game but our scoring issues are plaguing us.
Liverpool will drop points, all their away games are pretty tough but honestly for me its the same for us as we struggle to score. I also feel its confidence issue as we are making chances but now even Odegaard is missing sitters from 6 yards. If the club have real ambition then they will sign a striker this January. Otherwise we can forget doing well in the CL too, where games are so tight you just need one chance to score.
Havertz missed a sitter before Gabriel scored. On another day that's another goal but generally you're right. You did extremely well, I said it after the game too and the result was deserved. And I'll be honest, I had a horrible feeling 11 men you'd probably scored again at some point. If you have better players and if Amorim is given a good chance like ETH was your team will improve by magnitudes.
Gabriel is like the teammate that does everything. He stops the goals and scores the goals. I wonder if he manage too ? They can let go of Arteta and save 15m.
What have they won?
Not sure he said we have won anything. Just stated we will challenge. Which we have the last 2 years despite City's cheating.
We deserve criticism this year as haven't been fluent. But for a team who's highest on the scoring chart and then defence and 4 pts in second you'd thought we are 6th 18 pts away, judging by the unbelievable criticism.
Somehow I don't see that being directed at Chelsea and City. Who despite cheating in Citys case to the tune of billions are floundering in 5th and 6th.
Important they won last night. A lesser evil than Pool is always preferable. Feel like this window is key, need some kind of central attacker in my mind, even if on loan.
I'm not sure they are the lesser evil at the moment. I can't stand their manager, half their team or the way they play the game.
I feel loan, especially quality, would be very difficult unless it's with an obligation to buy. I don't think we will buy a striker even though we are crying out for one. With the rumors of Zubamendi in the summer I can't see the board opening their cash book in Jan. And this may end us costing the league.
Was thinking maybe Osimhem, noises sound like Napoli are very open to sell/move him somewhere. If Arsenal offer a small fee + optional buy price it's better than him staying in the Turkish league.
Broadly agree though, without the obligation most clubs will have no interest.
It's tough but recently my hate is pretty much all for Arteta, as a club Pool are far worse.
