Unai Emery has lead us to lose AGAIN away from home and we now look like we are conceding any chance of finishing in the top four.
The line-up that was named left question marks, not only because Mustafi was named in a back four again, but because he was changing the formation once again.
I’m all for managers trying new things and I want to see change when there are problems, but more changes at such a crucial time of the season just seems absurd.
Before the red card, our side had around 27% possession! A whole Arsenal team of adults went to Leicester, and had around a quarter of the ball. This is simply unacceptable. I know Emery is in his first season, and there was always going to be some tough times, but this run of games WHEN WE NEED IT the most is unacceptable.
The players should have enough fight in their bellies to actually play through any formation, but playing Mustafi, who has been by far the worst Arsenal player in 2019 as a centre-back pairing against Jamie ‘Big Game Player’ Vardy is the worst decision the manager has made to date.
The best team won. We had as many shots on target as we had red cards in the opening 80 minutes. Maitland-Niles red card will be a talking point, but the game barely changed after that incident.
Arsenal were second best in every department today. Our only decent chance came around the half hour mark when Alex Iwobi crossed to Lacazette in the middle, only for him to blast wide, and the next hour was us relying on Bernd Leno to try and keep us in the game.
How can ARSENAL, go to Leicester and lose 3-0, and our goalkeeper be our best player on the pitch?
Can you name any player other than Leno who deserved to wear that shirt today? Is the top four dead to us?
