If the board don't want to let him go can we at least convince him to turn around in the first 5 minutes of every game, tell him the opposition have just taken the lead, and when he turns back around we can get on with trying to get back on level terms?

In what respect?

In all games he's played for us (so excluding Palace where he didn't get on) we've only scored when he's on the pitch. We haven't scored once he's been subbed off, and in games where he's been subbed on we haven't scored before he's entered the fray.

If you viewed this game in isolation, with the fightback to 2-2 you'd be probably look at this in a favourable way, or as much as you can when you lose. But today was just more of the same. And again, today just reaffirms this point. We have nothing about us until we're losing. And once we're in that situation, the shackles are off. But if we claw anything back, it's back to shitting ourselves. We will never be able to turn a game around like this.

Arteta asked nicely.

From Skysports comms Arsenal 2-2 Leicester 90: Arsenal have generated an xG of 2.37 since half time. No goals. Tells you everything about the display of Hermansen.

27 minutes injury time?

£100MILL KEEPER!

He's an outlet that tends to win fouls and relieve pressure. This is the sort of situation he's ideal for really. Though using him to see out a lead would be nicer ofc.

WARD INCOMING!!!!

Good save by Mads but it was his mistake to make up for tbf.

Glad the ref isn't falling for all these fall overs that Arsenal are trying. But he'll probably cave eventually.

A/S/L?

JUST~IN SHITE!!!!!

Decent move and link between Mav and Buo. Just need a better finish.

But he hasn't had 5 games to figure out his best team. He's had 5 pre-season games, 5 league games and 2 cup games. How long should he need to figure it out? Or has he figured it out but it just doesn't marry up with the general perception of our best 11, in which case he has to prove his case with results. Which doesn't look all that promising.

Yet we've scored more than 8 other teams and Vardy is tied on 2 with Calvert Lewin, Mateta and Cunha. Our problem isn't the quality of players at either end of the pitch, it's the balance. We play defensive until we concede and then try and score which has seen us get back into games but will at best get you a draw. And in the only game where we tried to take it to the opposition, vs Palace, once we'd established a lead we went into shit the bed mode and tried to do nothing but defend for 45 minutes.

Just lines I think...

I think you've got nothing to worry about there mate.

It's too early for people to make judgements based on points and position alone. Ipswich for example have got results in all 3 of their games against teams outside the top 2! So currently it's probably better to use the other 'P' to make judgement. Performances. And they've been shit. For the most part.

I dunno about you guys but I've done a total 180 on him. Tonight we witnessed Danny Ward look like an actual goalkeeper. Clearly Cooper is a miracle worker. Faith restored.

Bit odd that our first 3 pens are all defensive players.

DANNY FXXKING WARD!
