Benitez seemed to be angling for an approach from Arsenal the other night.
He stated what needed to be done I.e getting the defending right and attacking and defending as a unit without leaving big gaps and being stretched. Pointing out all the mistakes.l
Looks to me from his body language that he wants the job too.
Doubt he’ll get an interview though.

Plenty of changes for tonight. Young team. Should be good enough.

Arsenal: Martinez, Sokratis, Luiz, Mavropanos, Maitland-Niles, Guendouzi, Willock, Saka, Nelson, Smith Rowe, Lacazette

Substitutes: Leno, Chambers, Medley, Olayinka, Martinelli, John-Jules, Aubameyang

Shockingly young team

lertsnim · 12-12-2019 7:04pm

Who's the co commentator on Virgin 2? I get a feeling that he doesn't like Arsenal.

beer enigma · 12-12-2019 7:04pm

Guendouzi need to calm down

He needs to have that playacting bollocks hammered out of his game.

Keith Andrews i guess

tayto lover · 12-12-2019 7:08pm

Awful stuff from Mavropanos there. Passed to an opponent on our 18 yard line.
Very nervous some of these young lads. Need to settle quickly.

greendom · 12-12-2019 7:10pm

Awful defensively. Nice link up between Lacazette and Smith Rowe

tayto lover · 12-12-2019 7:11pm

Willock doing much better at this level.

beer enigma · 12-12-2019 7:34pm

Edu has recommended Vieira to the board but apparently Josh now has the final decision from his new desk at the Emirates

Deeper Blue · 12-12-2019 7:37pm

Is it compulsory for co-commentators to hate Arsenal?

That would be a hugely underwhelming appointment imo. What has Vieira done to warrant being the new Arsenal manager? His Nice team are currently 13th in Ligue 1. If he wasn’t an ex Arsenal legend he wouldn’t be anywhere in the running for the job.

Keith Andrews hates everyone equally in his defense..

lertsnim · 12-12-2019 8:00pm

Cowardly defending again. That's so frustrating.

Very poor from Socrates turning his back. No Purple Hearts won in that defence.

wonga77 · 12-12-2019 8:02pm

So cowardly from sokratis there, ****in hell that's hard to take

Desperate defending.
Whoever takes over has his work cut out.
A Christian Bernard needed.

Azatadine · 12-12-2019 8:05pm

I'd even put Mustafi ahead of Sokratis....Sokratis has been dreadful since the latter part of last season.

newbie2 · 12-12-2019 8:06pm

We are fookin' atrocious.

Edit
And so is Kieth Andrews

wonga77 · 12-12-2019 8:07pm

Am I right in saying sokratis is out of contract at the end of season? I also remember reading somewhere that he was going to head back to Germany or somewhere as soon as his contract was up. He'd be no loss

tayto lover · 12-12-2019 8:07pm

Six players that lad went past and no tackle or even an attempt.

Roddy23 · 12-12-2019 8:13pm

What a depressing proposition. If we are going down the ex players route I can’t understand why Arteta isn’t the one to go for.

Both options demonstrate the absolute penny pinching of the board.

tayto lover · 12-12-2019 8:17pm

We had 4 corners and none have beaten the first man. Awful.
You’d wonder if they practiced them at all.

Leave him go now on a free.

tayto lover · 12-12-2019 8:20pm

Here comes Martinelli.

newbie2 · 12-12-2019 8:20pm

lolz

Azatadine · 12-12-2019 8:20pm

This is horrendous

wonga77 · 12-12-2019 8:21pm

Another sh1tty deflection. An assist for willock too, poor poor defending

tayto lover · 12-12-2019 8:21pm

Oh feck. That’s not defending at all. 2 down.

Roddy23 · 12-12-2019 8:22pm

If we concede again are we out?

Gringo180 · 12-12-2019 8:22pm

This is the worst I have ever seen an Arsenal team. I can take just not been good enough and showing a bit of heart but these lads have absolutely zero fight in them.

newbie2 · 12-12-2019 8:22pm

2 more i think

omega man · 12-12-2019 8:23pm

1 deflection bad luck but 2. Players to slow to practically jump out of the way in case the ball hits them ffs

I think this is the worst Arsenal team I've ever seen and I'm watching since the 70's.

Def concede another so and have a very ropey last few minutes. It’s the arsenal way.

Gutless. Been that way for a long time.

I’m watching since 89/90 and by far it’s the worst. We were shocking for one year in the 90s but that was it. This is not you’re average bad season, it’s years and years of decline.

Awesomeness · 12-12-2019 8:25pm

Willock is so poor

Bobby Baccala · 12-12-2019 8:26pm

This is some arsenal shít right here haha

Gringo180 · 12-12-2019 8:27pm

When was the last defender we signed that improved as a player? They all actually get worse when they sign, wondering do we do any defensive coaching whatsoever?

wonga77 · 12-12-2019 8:30pm

Great cross and finish by lacca

tayto lover · 12-12-2019 8:30pm

Great cross and great header by Laca. Great goal that.

Sol Campbell is the only one I can think of.

wonga77 · 12-12-2019 8:32pm

What a turnaround!

omega man · 12-12-2019 8:32pm

Good goal Saka.

Freddie out, no in again

lertsnim · 12-12-2019 8:32pm

Saka with an absolutely incredible goal.

tayto lover · 12-12-2019 8:32pm

2 all. Saka.

Koscielney as well. But the rest completely flopped.

Great goal.

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000 · 12-12-2019 8:33pm

Bang bang!!

What’s with us playing absolutely dire for 99% of games and then just exploding like that? Can Freddie not have a word and say START like that?

I’d honestly never seen kos play before we got him.
