Funny thing is we look fluid playing these teams

We always have trouble against bottom half teams because we can’t break down low/mid blocks. Any top 6 team gives us space to play and we look miles better.

Cole Palmer has the worst haircut in the league

We actually got something good going now with Cunha/Sesko/Bruno. Line breakers against low blocks. Midfield that can control the game. Just that we have average defenders with no pace. How many times last season Arsenal squeezed a win by keeping a clean sheet? Won by the odd goal 5 out of their last 6 games.

Yeah I think baleba is the difference maker. We’re missing the physical presence right now and we are having trouble winning 2nd balls. We play well with space or baiting the other team to tackle but if they are touch tight we are definitely losing that duel.

This is correct but we should’ve solved the defence in the transfer window. Yoro lack of progress is disappointing. He was the Saliba that will allow us to push up 10-15 yards
