We will though. Hopefully the league is postponed.

The 11 shots Arsenal had on target was a Premier league record ever (since records began).

And that's who we're on a par with.

This wasn't even the Thierry Henry Arsenal, who used to beat us 4-1.

You seem to have it in for him.....again. I didn't see the game, but not one person has mentioned Ayling as the weak link. Other players were mentioned however.

Problem is there's no leader out there. Who had the armband? Get Cresswell out there.

Another player that our fans have overrated. I just thought we looked stronger defensively when he was out.

Arsenal won't have an easier game this season and the fundamentals of our system is actively starting to be a problem
I'm with Cjay. They could have scored double figures. Apart from Meslier, we were lethargic and just going through the motions.

Has to be said Drameh looks a long way off being ready and can't use age as an excuse given the player who ran him ragged is the same age

I believe Charlie Cresswell injured his shoulder at Murder Ball on Thursday.

It's the problem of going from u23s to PL. Not fair to throw them to the wolves. You ease them in slowly to make them ready. But I said this numerous times last season.
