Arteta: "Get on the boat."

The boat...

This is good
Video piece on Arsenal, and whether Arteta's desire for "control" is now too constraining

Also - where are the key goals from attackers gone, and why?

Mikel Arteta obsesses over the tiniest details. Is it now harming Arsenal’s title chances?

Here's a statistic that won't come as a surprise to anyone who has watched Arsenal in recent weeks: the two outfielders who have played the most minutes this season are Martin Zubimendi and Jurrien Timber. #AFC

Should be happy with the Saka contract, and I am, but I am still fuming. I need to grow up.

Think that Wolves equaliser goes right up there in the pantheon of 21st-century Arsenal nonsense.

Had all the ingredients:

- Unknown teenage debutant goal
- Calamitous keeper-defender mix-up
- Deep into stoppage-time
- Title on the line / trophy up for grabs

I don't think I've been as angry about Arsenal as I was last night for a very long time.
Maybe since the Emery era.

I find it absolutely mental that Ben White cannot get premier league minutes for us.

I will say this, every shot a team has against us goes in 👍

Via Opta etc.

Stop policing how fans feel
I'll say this for some of our fanbase turning on this team - acting like the season is over.

We're still on top. It's in our hands. We've got a Cup Final vs our title challengers.

Get over yourselves and move on. If you aren't in for the ride and ready to kick the team down, you're a coward.

One shot on target in the 2nd half. Against Wolves. Cowards.

You can’t win a league with fuck all going forward and relying on your defence. Scraping by. Martinelli and Gyokeres offered nothing. Timber looks shot. The whole mentality is wrong. The pressure only going to mount now. Big job for Arteta.

8 goals conceded by us after the 80th minute in the league this season.

3 of the goals (Sunderland, Villa and Wolves) have come in stoppage time and cost us 5 points.

This is what happens when you don't kill off games. Worrying.

You can't win a league like this sorry.
It's done. Go all in on Champions League.

There have been clear performance and selection issues for weeks now, but the mental gymnastics to push the stats and ignore what was right in front of us went into overdrive.

Tonight the chickens came home to roost. That was unprofessional, immature rubbish and we are crumbling.

Also, what the fuck is David Raya doing? Silly cunt

What's the point in signing Norgard when he sits on the bench every single week whilst Zubi and Rice blow out their arses for 95 minutes three times a week.

I still cant understand why Timber and Zubi remained on the pitch for the full 90. Something is up there. We lost the midfield battle in the 2nd half and needed fresh legs. Why no subs..

It is honestly the worst performance I can remember from an Arsenal team in that second half for a long, long time. It was Sunday league bad. We literally could not make 3 passes, terrified of going forward, no-one trying to kill the game at 2-1. We just don’t have the mentality for it.

The football we are playing since Christmas. Honestly some of the worst I have seen from us. It's cowardly. It's slow. It's not match winning football. It marginal gains, sterile shite.
