0-1 Aubameyang with number 13 in the league this season.

Leno is absolutely rubbish there again. I fully expect him to get strung up for that but he won't because he isn't the England goalkeeper.

[The Artful Dodger]

Appalling defending all round.

Can't believe Emery has tried 4-3-1-2 and Ramsey hasn't played a minute so far. Absolutely perfect for the third midfielder, Emery is so negative with his midfield. 

Shocking goal to concede, Lichtsteiner very poor but Leno again with another silly mistake, he has been so poor lately.

[Stan]

Just heard a stat on the radio. Arsenal could break the record for scoring more than once in consecutive away games. If they do it tonight, it makes it the 9th away game they've done it in.

Özil was absolutely terrible in that first half.  Oh my days!

[Chaaay AFC]

Finally brings Ramsey on, stops playing 4-3-1-2, Emery is on one today hope it pays off.

Brighton's long ball from mid to the forwards is unbelievably good. Their side changing passing is also just as good, Locadia is getting so much space to run into and then you have passes finding him consistently as well.

Arsenal you are fucking shite. Had a tenner on a treble with you, spurs and Everton. Pathetic. 

[SirBalon]

That was a terrible performance in midfield.  There is only one result coming from the game against Liverpool.

We should give you's a hiding.

We need new players. Wenger really did leave us with a terrible squad

Oh boo fucking hoo, least you have strikers.

Poor decisions from Emery with the subs today. Starting with all three of Xhaka, Torreira and Guendouzi was a little cautious but not taking any of them off when we need a goal and instead taking off Lacazette was a bit ridiculous.

Need Chelsea to be really shit if we're going to get top 4.

Right now considering form and some other factors like suspensions and injuries, anything other than a hiding and there should be serious questions asked about Liverpool! .  It's funny, but it's true.

For a man (Emery) that bases a large proportion of his match-day preparations on mentality with being psychologically prepared, it is evident he is suffering from the "small club syndrome" and thinks he is back at Sevilla for some reason.  Many of the winnable games he messed up in La Liga were down to odd situations like these ones we've been seeing recently for Arsenal where he is extremely cautious and almost gives off the impression (to the opponent) that everything is unsure.

What does Emery see in Guendouzi that he doesnt in Ramsey?

The future!

Not that Guendouzi is necessarily a major part of Arsenal's future, but that Ramsey looks not to be right now and Emery probably knows more about the not too distant future than our speculation.

What's for sure though is that considering Aaron is one of our players right now, he should be playing.

That Brighton equaliser was the remains of Wengerism
