Will to win, win at all costs, desire, hunger. Comes in many forms but we have too many players who are timid, two of them are also co-captains at the moment.

he's been told to anticipate it because we don't shoot anymore. we're too predictable and therefore easy to defend against.
maybe for ange, he needs to understand that PL teams are better resourced and are not as gullible as those in the Scottish league.
They have done it in other games this seeaon and you could tell by the starting position of their players and the numbers they kept back/committed forward when in possession what the set up was.

They’re capable of adapting their game - as they also did against City, as well as in other games. For now, we’re not.

Honestly don't think we ever will under Ange and it's an issue. Emery is a flexible coach, mixes between being attacking and defensive. It's quite rare I think. If Arteta is going down that route, fair play, more managers should.

the shot when hit shows that VDV is a few mm offside. But it hits a scum player rebound of him onto another scum player and then into the path of VDV who finishes.
TBH im confused by it as well. I assume they are saying he is interfering as the defender had to react?? but that does not work for me. So Im confused by it as well. Maybe VDV blocking the keeper but it never gets to him.
I honestly think its a good goal.

Yeah I'm confused too. I guess I just don't know the rules anymore , does anyone ?

So you can purposely push up to get in front of and play an attacker offside but if you connect with the ball by doing so that's not deliberate? Hmmm...

They did on whatever stream I was watching at half time.
Both Sherwood and Ian Wright said it was on because of that deliberate touch.
The guest ref (Elleray??) said it was off / some semantic BS about it was only a deliberate block, not a deliberate attempt to pass the ball or something.
We did nothing with that possession though, just taps sideways and back. Once we came back a little the press became a bit more urgent, people were calling for the ball, making runs etc. We should be doing that from kick off.
Interested in your response to this @billyiddo!

Kasey Keller
yep..serve up the lasagne and brown envelope for the referee..and VAR officials..
A few half chances doesn't change the point of my post - we had a similar Xg to Arsenal once you subtract the penalty so the point we didn't have much to show for the possession stands

I'm fine with the offside goal. VDV is offside when Porro shoots, and it just ricochets to him off someone. It's not passed to him from an Arsenal player.
The real bugger is the pen we should have had. It's so clear it's not even debatable. Instead, 10 seconds later it's 2-0.
Thats the real game changer.

If you subtract all Arsenal’s goals, they have virtually 0 xG.....
What a stupid comment.
No it's not a stupid comment, your comparison certainly is though.
A penalty gives you an Xg close to 1, so a game total of 2.whatever including the penalty doesn't tell the whole pitcture and greatly inflates the picture of the quality of chances created.
