Never heard someone include wide players as the spine of a team?
The spine is down the centre. And they lack in all central areas as well as some wide ones!

How did we lose to them
He looks at the end of this tether now
Gabriel has been an upgrade in CB, so that's one.
Our manager isn't actually the best and our best players had an off day.
Still can't understand why with so many weak areas of the team and limited funds, that they wellied 27m on Saliba who hasn't even been in a squad.Gabriel has been an upgrade in CB, so that's one.
5 points from 30
They're really being helped out by the fact that there are some genuinely terrible teams below them on the table, because in their current form they arguably should be in the relegation spots.
His hairline is elite level though, there is that.
Is he the worst manager in the league?
Trash squad, rookie manager, deluded fans.
Horrid mix.
Horrid mix.
8 defeats from 14, atrocious.
I backed them to be ready to step up from last year but was completely wrong.
Arsenal surely thinking about letting him go now.

Big big big and beautiful future
But three came against us5 points from 30
Bit of a Gary Neville isn't he
Arsenal were little more encouraging tonight, I thought.
They're actually going down aren't they
such an awful awful game. had monopoly possession for the second half and couldnt make a single real threat.
At times they were. I actually think the squad itself is more of an issue than the coach. Severely lacking in quality
Think he is gone.
Wenger back in till May?

Pogba decided to have one of his moments
nah they'll sort it out sooner or later to avoid that
Tbf with Arteta,he s paying for the transfer mistakes of his predecessors.
Lot of young players too which means inconsistency
Lucky for Arsenal fulham, WB and sheffield are really bad this season.
Yep. I think bringing in the majority of the reserve team players actually showed them promise tonight.
The squad that he has got are pretty horrendous. I think even a more experienced coach/manager wouldn't do particularly well with that side. They're so far from where they need to be. If we think we have a way to go, they're at least two or three levels below that.
Arteta sacked?
Taken over an awful disjointed squad. There was possibly a mandate for evolving their playing style and developing their young players towards something more cohesive.
But when you go as defensive as he has done with so little to show for it, it's hard to see why he should be given much more time. He is doing no better than most run of the mill English managers would have done with such a style of play. Steve Bruce would do a better job than this.

The more they lose the angrier I get that we gave them 3 points

Mirror reporting he is sacked. Allegri in.
The squad is horrible but they don't have a squad that should be 15th in the table. If Brighton beat Sheffield United they will be 16th.
Burnley are also 4 points away from them with 2 games in hand.
No difference to Arsenal from last season except that Aubeyang is not in hs usual scoring form.
If Allen and James were playing, Arsenal wouldnt have gotten out their own half today. An understrength Everton strolling to a 2-1 win.
How reliable is the Mirror?
Everyone is saying that in hindsight now. At the beginning of 2019/20 season, they were a shoe-in for top 4 for almost all pundits, journos and people here. Even at the beginning of this season, many thought they would make top 4, or at least top 6.
Just that Pepe and Luiz signing tbf.
Arteta hasn't helped himself by not signing a #10 this season despite knowing he wont register Ozil
He gone?
