And yet, after his hesitancy on claiming the loose ball that led to Mansfield’s goal, he looked like he was running through melted marshmallow to recover.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Wow.

That Mosquera slide is becoming depressingly regular.

Jesus is adding nothing at this stage.

It’s eze when you know how.

It doesn’t work. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Probably one of the most frustrating things we do is delay the pass to lure in oncoming defenders.

Problem is the late layoff generally puts undue pressure on the receiving player.

To convert a simple quick pass into a moment of peril seems to be absolutely brainless.

We do it a lot. And pay.

Generous.

We’re not very good at advancing quickly. Compared to… well… almost every team we play.

It’s frustrating.

How to completely defuse the threat of a free kick.

Fucking hell. Mosquera had an hour to get that ball.

Fuck Brighton. Fuck Fabian Hurzeler. Up the Arsenal. Up The Nottingham Forest.

HUGE NIGHT! ❤️

😂

Fabulous result.

Let’s just leave it at that.

Once again we seem unable to win first or second balls.

Why is that? #WantItMore?

That’s our 4th or 5th shit short free kick.

Footballers are dumb.

Havertz and Jesus for Gyok and Eze.

I don’t mean all of them right now.

But any one of those changes would help after the break.

I’d give Jesus a run out. Gyokeres work-rate is exceeding his productivity at this stage.

Jesus was looking really sharp in training.

Possibly bring on Califiori and take Mosquera off.

Rice and a Zubimendi both been erratic. Norgaard could replace either of them.

Definite legginess.

I’d be interested to see those moments analysed, because they are really such a central part of the conversation when talking about how we snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Problem is that we were screwing up the “stale domination”.

We’d engage full horse shoe (ole ole) mode and then Rice, Zubimendi, Saliba or Raya would have a complete brainfart and give Chelsea a scoring opportunity…

Its uncanny how often we
Tried to shoot ourselves in the foot last night.

Thanks again for your analysis. It’s superb btw.

Scott - is there a stat that measures the xG of the chances spurned…? Those moments when an Arsenal player chooses to pass into a weaker position instead of shooting?

These moments happen a lot and contribute so much to our angst and the tension in a game.

I’d love to know what stat to look for.

We car seem to win a first or second ball.

And we’re slow to loose balls.

It’s been a remarkably frustrating performance because we should have been streets ahead.

Great 3 points.

For fuck sake

This is clown car mustafi level shit defending.

Zubimendi has been poor.

Raya?! wtf?

That’ll make up for the time it went out after Eze’s long shot but wasn’t given.

Karma.
