What does Zubimendi do, exactly? I swear if it weren't for that one moment in the first half where he did the dangerous back pass to Raya, I wouldn't be aware he was on the pitch.

WTF is wrong with this ref. Has completely blown 4 advantage opportunities for us. 3 in this half alone.

He does a lot of little stuff you won't always notice.

Zubi had played tons of minutes with almost no break.

Might be time to bring in MO for Eze to get hold of this game.

My mistake. I thought I saw him on the team sheet.

It would be nice to bring him on.

Why do Arsenal look like the team playing with 10 men?

Looks like we're the ones with 10 men the last few minutes

One less game we have to win and one more that Man City need to win.

3 points. Just keep winning come hell or higher water.

Love the 3 points.

Don't love the continued inability of this squad and staff to enforce their will and close out a game with offense. Playing deep defense against 10 men was nearly a recipe for disaster.

Man I only watched the last 20 minutes today, and all of the comments above are spot on.

We looked outmanned. Was hoping w week with no midweek ties would help tired legs. We looked pretty bad there. Glad to have the 3 points, but we need some juice for the homestretch here.

It annoys me that with the insane schedule, we dont use all 5 subs most of the time with a stacked bench

Arteta has got to trust his players more. It's hard with every decision scrutinized but Rice, Timber, and Zubi have been run into the ground.

Norgard knows the EPL and is good enough but what do I know.

Nice job from the defense today.

You almost never allow advantage when you have to send off a player. If you do it gives that player a chance to affect a play later without consequences when they should be off the pitch.

What about if they earn double yellows?

True but you also can't stop play multiple times when there is a major advantage

That's still red. Instruction is to not allow any advantage unless it's basically an OGSO. You never want a player who should be off to do anything else to affect play.

It's doubly complicated here. It's basically a SPA foul (ok, it's also a near scissor and more than reckless foul but it's still SPA) and playing advantage on SPA removes the card as the reinstates the promising attack. So the advantage on the field is taken away and given instead as advantage of a send off and man advantage.

We've currently scored more goals and allowed the fewest goals of all teams in the league. We have the most clean sheets and have scored first in 70% of the games we play in. Obviously Arsenal is #1 in set piece/corner goals and own goals.

The Brighton match makes me nervous.

Every match is gonna be high stress going from here on out.

I still think we're the best team in the league as the posted stats above suggest, but that doesn't mean crap if the players can't cope with the pressure. The majority of points we've dropped have been our own faults and mistakes rather than someone actually beating us
