Felt like progress in the 2nd half, honestly they have no way of coping with Awoniyi do they, full on shit their pants whenever he went near. Absolutely tore them a new one defending a corner!
Heart, some skill and attacking play. I thought it was interesting in the first half Turner was gathering the ball and looking for the quick release and no one was showing for him, in the second half more options were on.
Last season we were the ones whistling for the final whistle, today it was £500m Arsenal!

Incredibly tough side to play against as a midfielder.Yatesy was poor today but so was all the midfield. To me it's the position that needs addressing ASAP to get us points away from home.
Pleased how we reacted though, we'll be alright

Today was a huge positive in my book.
However we have to go again next week. A couple of loan signings can transform the squad. Spence and Henderson would be great. Than buy one more cb and striker

What performance? The first half??No-one was calling for him to be sacked, just that if that performance carried on he would be sacked (whether we like it or not).
Unless Cooper's plan was to let them have two goals knowing they'd then switch off.

Wish he spent more time on his feet rather than falling over. The entire midfields passing was so incredibly bad today, especially in those late moments in the match.

Yes, too early for must win.
We had 4 points after 8 matches last year, had an awesome run of form and were mid table, then a shit run. 38 games is a long season

Would be nice if we could just pass the ball a bit better, though.
Saka scored a unstoppable goal and their first goal was an unlucky deflection of Joe. Turner saves that shot if it does not take the unlucky deflection.
Lost here 5-0 last year this year scored a cracking counter attacking goal and Arsenal were hanging on. Took a attacker of for a defender and even had a player booked for time wasting!!!
Proud of the team.

15+ goals this season if he stays fit IMO.

On a sidenote, I really enjoyed how Wood really ran his socks off in stoppage time.

Problem is Yates has a minutes game. You need in our style to be more dynamic in my opinion. Especially if you are the guy winning the ball the most. In a counter style as soon as you win it it has to be played at ultra quick speed.

Certainly didn't do much wrong today IMO.

But look where sitting back tactics got us last year away from home. One of the worst away records in the history of the PL. Having 10% possession and 10 defenders hoping to grind out a draw or a sneaky counter attack goal just invites too much pressure and as the evidence shows doesn’t work.
Massively impressed that Awoniyi has kept his form and seems to already have an understanding with Elanga

I think if the kind of signings we’re trying to bring in come off we’ll see Yates be a bench player to try and shore up games.
He lacks quality on the ball but his commitment, the fact he’s home grown and his workrate means they’ll always be a spot for him in the squad

Ill give coops a bell, let him know you're available.
Wasn’t to do with them switching off. Awoniyi was the reason they shat the bedNo-one was calling for him to be sacked, just that if that performance carried on he would be sacked (whether we like it or not).

yep, save the deano money for quality reinforcements.

Whenever Awoniyi plays against Arsenal, their whole team looks at him like Mike Tyson has jumped in the ring.

That for me is the key moment in the game, Cooper forced a reaction from Arteta. That's where confidence comes from.

Never dropped their heads all game, even after going two down.
Aina and Elanga look like two good additions.
Taiwo is f***ing brilliant.
Nice start and unlucky, in the end, not to get a point.

Just a word on Turner who I thought had a very good game
Couldn't really do much for Saka's goal but made that great save and distributed the ball well
Looks a quality signing

And we’re in the bottom three… grrr
In all seriousness, could have been worse. The next two games will tell us a lot. Need a win and performance at home then another step up in performance at Man U before a resounding cup win. I’m fully aware that’s three games.
