I can't believe it Why don't they try and get to the byline and twat in some low crosses. Might at least deflect off someone and go in or something.

Something quite funny about this. Man City look completely clueless on how to break this down.

No DeBruyne will make this difficult for Man City to breakdown. Going to be interesting.

Some truth in this, but the manner in which he launched it into the stratosphere did him in.

Trossard is phenomenally stupid. I would have slapped him as he exited the pitch. Arsenal are just not disciplined enough mentally to achieve anything.

The state of Ederson there. What a pansy.

Gabriel with another midget on him, who was more concerned with patting his belly. Too easy.

Of course, how could I forget. Looking forward to it now.

Putting Doku on Gabriel is absolutely crazy.

I know. I just dread what it means for us if a team as good as Arsenal don't even feel confident playing more freely against them.

The way these lot have Arsenal setup like we did under Bruce man. Next week is going to be an absolute joke.

Man that is a glorious strike. Man City complaining about the quick free kick is hilarious.

Big call by Arteta. Big payoff.

Absolutely delicious play from Savinho. Next week is going to be fun ...

So pathetic man.

Jumped into it too aggressively and it was also a scissor action. Had to go.

I mean ... this is just so disappointing really. The Bournemouth guy on here said the same thing about Howe after we got him initially.

100%. Don't forget they also added Kamara and Tielemans as free signings. They haven't even had Kamara available, and him coming back will only make them stronger. They actually make me feel sick.

Good players, sure. In my opinion though, they were inappropriate signings for where we were at the time. The squad planning has been poor and the balance of the team has suffered for it.

£35 million. It's looking like great business. He's been brilliant. We spent almost double that on Tonali. The way things are going this season we are going to need Tonali to be truly exceptional to turn things around for us. Really hope it works out that way.

We keep hearing from Howe that there is a very small pool of players to pick from that can improve us. And then you watch some of our players and performances and you really have to wonder about that. I think we're in trouble. Things move very quickly. Nice start to the season due to a favourable schedule and thankfully we got a nice number of points. Now the games are going to start getting tougher. Let's see how we manage it.

Once we got top 4 we really had to do a better job of capitalising on that last summer. Especially while Chelsea, Spurs and Man Utd were such a mess. We spent £140 million on 3 players. Tonali, Barnes and Tino. Three positions that didn't need filling necessarily in the first team at the time. Also with a better approach could that money have been spread out more evenly across the squad? I think it could and should have been. We ended up with no European football and instead of nailing the summer recruitment to ensure we capitalized on less games this season, we blew it completely. We spent the first part of the window bidding for Olise, and then no one else in that position after, and then doing the same with Guehi later on. We currently have no right winger, no backup striker, no holding midfielder that protects the defence, no clarity at left back and a number of squad players that are below par. We look uninspired, stale and tired. I think the season is going to be a struggle.

I think this season may end up being an eye opener. My gut instinct is that this season will show that Villa have already left us behind. Their style of play is more consistent, and they've done a much better job of building up their squad by having a more varied and balanced recruitment approach.

Silva seems to be starting to put something pretty fun together at Fulham. They were really good. His decision to drop Perreira into a deeper role in midfield and recruit Smith-Rowe to play the 10 position instead is looking like a master stroke. He's tying everything together for the team. It was also somewhat amusing, in a dark and twisted way, to see the NO forum 'shit' players Iwobi and Adama torment us all game. They've both started the season very strongly. Feels like everywhere you look at the minute there's a player on the right showing ours up. I'm sick of it.

We are so screwed at this club man.
