Arsenal Vs Fulham (PL)

The amount of decisions we still wonā€™t get cos the ref wonā€™t even refer it will be even more ridiculous.

It would be good, but whenever we go in for someone in jan it is mostly always a panic and we get some dross which helps us in no way. Only decent player we got in Jan a long time ago was Arshavin.

Aubameyang has been pretty good. You can debate how smart it was to do the deal but his return is impressive.

But that doesnā€™t mean we shouldnā€™t try. Surely, Sven and co and better at identifying some targets in January

Chelsea is a huge game, if we can beat them things wonā€™t look too bad, providing we donā€™t fook it up against anyone else.

Totally forgot we got him in Jan, we were lucky to do soā€¦if we are gonna get someone in Jan has to be that sort of signing not someone for numbers which turns out to be stupid like Kallstrom

Iā€™d take a CB version of Kallstrom over Xhaka in defence.

Completely agree. @jmb27 may have summed it up best by saying the club is penny wise and pound foolish.

We spent a shit ton of money on Lacazette last year and then panicked when he got hurt. We spent years selling our best players to other (bigger) clubs and then when we really could have used the money to reinvest in the squad, we held on to Alexis only to panic and sell him in January. We spent years overpaying our own players and making it impossible to move them on for a profit and then we panicked last January by giving Ozil a tremendous contract.

Good three points in the end, could have easily had 1-2 goals shipped against the run of play from Fulham but we managed to disparage them enough.

Some much needed rest for a few players out there today now.

Not the best performance but who cares a win is all that was needed and we got it. COYG

The amount of referees in this league who donā€™t think itā€™s possible to foul an Arsenal player is too high for my liking.

Highlight of the match was realizing Mustafi had been hooked at half time. :giroud3:

Scoreline flattered us, deserved the win no doubt, still looked all over the shop at the back

I think after defeat, itā€™s all just about winning. Iā€™d have taken a fluky 1-0 today.

After losing to man city and Chelsea in the opening 2 games, we beat west ham in a game that could have gone either way. That sparked off a 7 game winning run in the EPL. If we can do something similar until we play Man City at the Etihad in February, weā€™ll be in a much better situation mentally and positionally in the table

I suspect that weā€™ll win the majority of matches we should, and it will come down to what happens when Chelsea turn up. Thatā€™s huge.

Thankfully we donā€™t have those two Carabao Cup matches to contend with this month, so we can start to get a bit of fitness back.

One notable thing today was that Auba finally got deployed on the right. If Iā€™m not mistaken, I donā€™t think he had been yet.

Heā€™s potentially much better for us here because we build up on our left so often that him gliding in from the right hand side into open space can be extremely dangerous for the opposition.

Canā€™t even get starts for Fulham? The guy has played 1600 minutes of a possible 1900 and he made Xhaka look like a chump today bruh :joy::joy:. Sucks for us we could have had him and Torreira and have a midfield capable of controlling games. With comments like this Iā€™m starting to see what @AbouCuellar is talking about regarding quality of posts around this place. Happy New Year!!
