Not much to say about the game. Same old same old. Injuries have killed us this season.

NLD and Villa to come. 120 minutes played yesterday. Team looking extremely tired. I am very worried.
Yesterday was brutal. Don't think I have ever left a game feeling quite so low with where the team is at. Usually like to see the positives. But multiple injuries paired with lack of cutting edge has me very worried. We need to dip into the transfer market

Feels like the season has unravelled. Can't go on like this

Braving the cold today. Strong lineup. Basically full strength minus Rice. Desperately need a win and a convincing performance.

Might be back on after that Liverpool result
I think that's arsenal's title chances gone

Fantastic win, great start to 2025. Plenty of time left in this title race. Nwaneri excellent. Calafiori was worrying but hopefully that is just down to lack of game time. Onwards to Brighton

When do questions of Amorim get asked? I know he has walked into a s**t show. But you can't keep a manager for the sake of it unless you are confident they will deliver results

Thoughts on the game
- First half once again laboured
- Kiwior just isn't good enough
- Stop putting Partey right back
- Sterling looked good
- Jesus took his goals fantastically well. Hopefully a big confidence boost

On the way to the game. Desperately need to win. Arteta needs a trophy. Tierney starting, this will probably be more of an audition for a January move. Let's hope sterling and jesus can get some form.

Lastly. I can only assume we are cancelling Sterling's in January. Last 2 games we have been desperate for a goal and we haven't called upon him
Also, something is not right with Odegaard. An unusually poor performance from him. Being pulled off after 60 minutes when we need a goal is concerning
Thoughts on the game:
- Once again slow Conservative start
- Saka only player who looks like they might score from open play
- Lewis-Skelly very good again
- We are not in the title race and I suspect we will shift focus to Champions League come February

Very flat first half. Becoming common for Arteta's Arsenal

Crucial win though and that should be us into the last 16 and avoid the extra two game play off. The Arsenal are marching on
Thoughts on the game:
- Overall good performance controlled most of the 90
- Lewis-Skelly looks fantastic, tierney will be off in January
- Martinelli lucky to not be sent off
- Should have be at least 2 nil up at half time
- Need to stop being so slow first 15 of the second half
- Overall good performance controlled most of the 90

68 points. Green arrow to 390k 🌎 3 FT. Dont think I'll make a transfer this week

Frustrating draw. Martinelli looked sharp when he came on, but why be offside there, absolutely no need. Jesus very poor. We are clinging onto this title race.

Huge second half coming up. If we lose I think that is it for a title challenge. I would make changes now

First 25 minutes we looked good for 10. Then allowed Fulham to score. Kiwior poo, partey looking bad at right back. Can still win this game but will be a lot of work. Fulham look comfortable now
