Eddie gets the start. He needs to be quick with his decision making. He needs to be aware of when an assist needs to be made. A good way to break the low block is a striker coming in and having 1-2s with the 8 or the 10.

A must to retain a stride in the title race. This is up to the left side of the team to shut up the doubters. Martinelli and Zinchenko are on notice.
I'm not blaming the refs. This was a woeful Arsenal performance. There is no way a team that can't break down a low block will win the league title, in this day and age. Zinchenko has been a liability. There were multiple TERRIBLE back passes that he made. ESR, Reiss and Nketiah offered barely anything off the bench. Odegaard, Jesus, and Saka were tired but showed more attacking impetus. Martinelli has hit a bad patch and I think being on the bench might help him. 80% of his issues are his own and 20% with the lack of link up play from Zinchenko. There is a lot to fix before I can enthusiastically say we are favorites for the title.
Reiss, ESR, Zinny & Eddie are on notice. If I were Arteta, I would get rid of them in the summer transfer window. As much as I like em, they're either injury prone and or play in a boom and bust cycle. We need a dependable 9, 8 and LB/LCB combo player.
No one was dropping back and making runs inward for a cross. Only person who tried was ESR and that happened once. There weren't that many combination passes in and around the box. We were eager to shoot a weak shot than wait for a better opportunity.
We can't break the low block. This needs to change.
Zinchenko, WTF!
Saka, what a bright spot
I need ESR in for Trossard or Martinelli. The whole left side is pretty complacent especially Zinny.
Martinelli, come on man. You're better than this!
Zinny needs to wake up
Kiwior is a better defensive left back than Zinchenko, change my mind
