But why can't he be played in his preferred position
Atleast let's give him benefit of doubt.
We need another lb just incase Tierney

He can't be played in his preferred position cos there are so a any people ahead of him in the pecking order; Ceballos, Partey, Xhaka, and even Willock will get a place ahead of him in CM. I doubt Mitland-Niles will ever get a chance to play CM in Arsenal o.

As for LB we sure need to get a back up plan for Tierney especially now that boda Kola has gone back to Germany. Also we need an understudy for Bellerin, he gives and off performances

Looks like Ian Wright is rocking some nice Senator material native like I love them

Jodera:
Arteta wanted to rest Tierney but this is never the match to rest him.

I don't know why he used Tierney against Newcastle wen he could have been rested in that match.

This is just nonsense and our left attack is dead cos of that

But Aubameyang is playing the LW..
He'll go silent but eventually score a tap in and everything will be fine and forgotten.

Tierney Mans that wing well for auba to move centrally. Amn is really lacking that that's why auba is forced out wide.

If eventually auba scores tap in and we win, e better o, and yes everything will be forgotten ( )

Na win we need oo biko

And the win will only paper the cracks..

Also, Sad it boils to the questions of where are the supposed attackers who should primarily create chances?
The LW, RW and AM.

I believe the 2nd half will be different

Fkhalifa:
Boring Boring Boring.

Typical Arsenal, Smith Rowe is like a new signing..
Arsenal calls off Beundia's deal

All these physical palace players bullying and kicking the young lads till they end up like Wilshere and Walcott

Lol, this was my fear spy360 we still need an AM badly this January

Pepe no send

Bellerin useless sha

A natural leftback could've helped us with a decent cross when we needed it most in this match.....but then we meuvee!

Baba, if Tierney is not around does that mean the left attack is meant to be dead completely, what's the work of LW then?

Arsenal matter get as e be...

We were organized defensively only positive in the game

Akinbahm:

As bad as I'm to make it sound, but YES.

Everyone knows Auba sucks on the left wing except if he's scoring, else he'll be anonymous.

People that made the left wing effective, last season was saka, this season is Tierney. Perhaps if martinelli can take over, it'll be good, but any other player? It'll be good as dead.


Arsenal matter tire person well well

I remember when I saw Tierney’s name in the starting 11 against Newcastle, infact see my comment below. Truth is, if an injury predictor meter is placed on Tierney and Saka today, they would blow up the meter because we are running both to the ground even when it is avoidable. He had no business starting Tierney against Newcastle and this are some of the man management/ roster decisions that worry me about Arteta.

We needed to win today and once again we looked terrible going forward. Very lucky to have gotten a point because Palace failed to take their clear chances.

Yeah... Arteta Man management is really poor. Just read that KT has an injury. This is expected after running him to the ground as if he's some sort of robot.
And if KT injury is lengthy, then I think our winning run is likely to get reduced or being on hold, cos that left wing will be dead asf.

Really sad!

Palace are becoming a bogey team for us just like Brighton
On the defence:
Who would have thought arsenal defence will keep 4 straight CS without Gabriel involved in any(story for another day)
We have improved in that area and comfortable on the ball but we badly need another left back, I won't like to see AMN be a replacement for Tierney.
For all the good work we did bellerin was the one spoiling it we should cash out on this guy asap before he turn liability, people use injury to cover him which is not right.
Midfield: over the last 2 games we kept possession for a long period of time can't remember the last we did that. Maybe the team's we played are not good enough to press us time will tell but xhaka ball movement have improved (I'm not buying his gbanjo) bit his stupid sideways passes exposed us to counter attacks which technical good teams will hurt us badly.
Attack:
We need another AM, ESR doesn't look like a 90min guy and he's putting legs in dangerous places I'm afraid for him honestly. Arteta is burning out these youngsters. Saka, ESR and martinelli should be helping not taking responsibility when we have senior players.
I have given up on this Pepe long time sha.


I'm getting tired of Arteta, ebening didn't do worse before he was sacked. Cups should be another Europa where you use your second team to play not your best players.
Tierney, saka, Leno, Mari doesn't have business playing that newscastle game now that 2 are exposed to injury or precautions he had to sacrifice an EPL game for. We should be winning yesterday's game to close gap.
Our board team is the most useless in the league
Pardon my epistle that draw felt like a loss

I think one of the things Arteta learnt from guardiola is to take every cup as champions league. That itself is not bad if only one has a good squad depth like PEPs man city. Ours is small, aside the good first team, the benchers are scrap

Why Arteta still thought it wise to be using Tierney and Mari in that game is really disappointing, esp as Tierney doesn't have any good competition/replacement. I don't think any arsenal fan will be angry even if we got eliminated from fa cup against Newcastle as long as those core guys doesn't play and as long as we are seeing results in the league.

He should be protecting ESR, Tierney, saka, leno and martinelli to the fullest cos for now these boys don't have any replacements. Any touch to 2 or more of that group and we're back to square zero

That's what every sane person should do, protect your precious assets, these guys are the one keeping us at this stage yet you used them anyhow without caution

Tierney was injured

Spy360:

Tierney was injured

Yeah.. Just saw earlier this morning he was injured and I said it here.

But that still tells you the stupid decision he made starting KT in that match. Now it has backfired

sometimes eh... His decisions are head scratching

kokanepyramid:

Lol, this was my fear spy360 we still need an AM badly this January

Our board is broke as dead and would rather build a castle on the current ESR hype than get another AM. Poverty is a sin.

Lol

One thing you must know is that Arteta valued that match more than this one. He knows he won't win the league and top four is becoming a mirage with teams like Leicester, Everton, Aston Villa not willing to bulge.

Are you kidding me right now?

Before ystdy match, we're 9points away from 4th with almost half the season gone. If it was even Europa sef, I would agree, but not Fvckin fa cup we don't really need. How can he put up a defeatist mindset just halfway the season gone wen top 4 is still salvageable?

I just hope that's your thoughts and not his... Cos if that's his thought, then we're really heading to mediocrity as a club.

Poverty is an organised crime, I am trying not to imagine how we will play if the guy get's injured. from the look of things it is just a matter of when

OK
Arteta is a S T U P I D coach.

Apart from that self, we can't expect a young boy like that to put in 9/10 performances every game. For the fact that he shone against one or two teams doesn't mean he is now a finished product.

When he had the chance to rest some players and give the likes of Balogun and Azeez much needed playing time.
