With all this chaos, being just 4 points behind last season’s pace in these fixtures really isn’t bad at all IMO. Arsenal may not be flying, but given the injuries and context, we’re far from crumbling. What do you think - glass half full or half empty? ⚪🔴 #COYG

• The magic triangle of Ødegaard, Saka, and White - key to our creativity last season - has started just 4 of 11 games this season.
• And let’s not forget the absurd red cards 🟥 🟥 🟥 Arsenal have received - decisions you’d struggle to find replicated anywhere in world football before or after.

We took 23 points from these fixtures last season (*assuming the same results vs. the promoted teams). This season, we’re 4 points short of that. Not ideal, but let’s consider what’s been happening on and off the pitch:
