You’re the best James. Martinelli needs to find his form, along with Partey, the pair are painful to watch on the pitch. The double save from Raya had me lost for words, but sadly was the only highlight of the game. Cheers! COYG.
We are going to have to sharpen up our passing/possession or we will not win this league or get far in the CL. Too many times we gave it away cheap, and no confidence to play out from the back more, so Raya is just booting down the pitch half the time.
Arsenal should be winning these matches without struggle. And it looks like we are struggling as a team. Our games are slow, not free flowing, very defensive our forwards aren’t forwarding 🙂
I live in the Far East and got up at 3AM to watch this bore draw. I wish I had stayed in bed asleep… Raya's amazing double save was the only exciting moment in this dreadful game. I think Arteta's team selection was poor. With Calafiori and Jorginho's knowledge of Italian football and players I can't believe he picked Timber and Partay instead…Martinelli, Jesus along with Partay were abysmal. Saka was clearly not up to his usual standard. Rice wasn't great either, so the front line and midfield were very poor. Thank goodness for Raya, Saliba, Gabriel, White and Timber. Without our great defense we probably would have lost 2-0 or worse.. Atlanta are a pretty good side though and , at the end of the day a draw was a decent result given our almost non-existent attack and muddled midfield. Raya is the hero of the moment. What a great goalie!
Really love what I see from calafiori every time he comes on. Our passing tempo noticeably improved and he knows how to find space in midfield. Also does the pointing thing that Odegaard does. He’s going to be our secret weapon this year
Your agenda against Partey is becoming tiring. Partey is not in the team for his defensive prowess. If so Mikel would play Calafiori or Timber. Partey is in the team for his unique midfield play that involves moving the ball up the pitch quickly. No player at Arsenal can do that. Further, he has a unique ability to get past his marker which opens spaces on the field. That is why Partey plays.
I suppose we all see games differently. I thought it was an interesting game if not a classic. There were some good performances from both sets of players.. If you were only looking at one team then I can imagine it was boring.. You can see the big hole that Odagard has left. It wasn't so obvious against spurs. .
My read on the early Partey substitution is that Arteta might approach City with a more conservative mindset, and drop Martinelli for Trossard, and have a midfield trio of Rice, Partey and Jorginho. I'd rather see Partey out of the team at this point, but I think Arteta would only do that at the very least after City. Great content as always James!
We struggled for open play creativity last season and that'll continue because of the profile of our midfielders. If not Odegaard, no-one is capable of creating something out of nothing.
With space tighter than an Atlanta away game, a shelf about to collapse quicker than a 2nd season Sp*rs manager and a front room corner with delivery that Jovas would commend, thank you again for your Gabrielesque efforts!
Reallly hope he sits Partey

What do you think of Timber at the 6 ?
We controlled the game well but very blunt up front. The lack of creativity in midfield was apparent

I'm so sad I didn't get up at 5am for the game.
Wake me when it's the knock out round

I have seen enough of Martinelli and Partey now.

Partey has been fine don’t know what the fuck your going on about. Our attack is what needs calling out
The first save was good, but it was the second one that really made it.
Great to see the Tank again. Although I was surprised at how he got bullied by our players.

Shocking team performance. Last shot on target was the Saka free kick on 18 minutes.
Unacceptable
James why do you look so especially bald in this one? 🤔 Haha thank you so much for your top content man ❤

Martin Urrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr de Gaard. Mesut Urrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrzil. Please🙏
I genuinely can't remember the last good game Thomas Partey has had in an Arsenal shirt… He is our Casemiro and unfortunately an absolute liability.

Its not
I agree. I was a bit bored.
I think we need to get used to so-called ‘boring’ games like this when Arsenal keep it tight at back away from home 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
James comedy experience coming in handy in the intro to video 😂😂😂
The champions league format is diabolical, talk about over saturation of your own product, there's too much and not a lot of it was good
James you are lying @2:25 you questioned his singing quite alot last season
Softest pen i’ve seen in awhile. In basketball there is a saying “ball dont lie.” Thats what happened there.
Partey has been a liability 2 games running.
Thanks James.
I think Arteta is always scared to try out new things, like rotating the squad, giving kids some minutes etc.
I fully expect Partey, Jorginho, & Rice to start at the Etihad
I think you are too hard on Partey.
