@timstillman_ Excellent article. Would love to make it mandatory reading for all of the lazy pundits that have an outsized role in football narratives. Genuinely so many parallels to how politics is covered - outrage sells. The pundits are the populists.

@piersmorgan @_DeclanRice I love how the media ridicules us for set pieces, but fails to mention the fact the majority of Bruno's assists have come from set pieces. Such a blatant double standard.

@Ian1892T Steady on fella, this is expenditure since Arteta took over. This Arsenal side aren't as good as Klopps (18-20) side, but your league title last season can be considered just as much down to others dropping off as ours this season.

@piersmorgan @talkSPORT Dont be taking any nonsense that the foul on Raya is any way comparable to other fouls this season

[Char Dicko @623271cd]

@jmwooldridge As an economist who loves Arsenal - you have just gone up in my (unbiased) estimation

[Char Dicko @623271cd]

@_PhilCosta It all hinged on that injury. I cant believe it.

[Char Dicko @623271cd]

@clivepafc We have dreamed of being in this position. Time to make the most of it - lets go and win it. COYG.

[Char Dicko @623271cd]

@clivepafc There was a sprint he did - after us defending a corner - from our own box to their last man at 80+ mins and he ran like his life depended on it. Fair play to him. Love a person with fortitude.

@timstillman_ Sometimes the answer arrives after the mistake

[Char Dicko @623271cd]

@DarrenArsenal1 Self-fulfilling cycle. Platform ungrateful idiots like that and no wonder the online world thinks Arsenal fans are unbearable.

[Char Dicko @623271cd]

@clivepafc @YankeeGunner cant help but think our build up requires an inverting LB. So many times Hincapie could be on the inside.

[Char Dicko @623271cd]

@scottjwillis what model do you use for this? A MC simulation or a probit model?

[Char Dicko @623271cd]

@LeGrove Dont forget the CL - could be a Liverpool 2019 moment

[Char Dicko @623271cd]

@Alan_Alger_ If we played like we did today all season then today wouldnt of even mattered. Also, think today simultaneously showed why this league would of been wrapped up if Havertz started every game but also why we wanted another 9 in the summer. Gutting but still hope (including the CL)

[Char Dicko @623271cd]

@clivepafc (Extremely) overly critical - but do you think his distribution could go up a level? I think our approach to man-to-man puts a lot of emphasis on CB's distribution. Think its the only 'not-elite' part of his game.

[Char Dicko @623271cd]

@AFCAMDEN Id be tempted by Jesus on the right. I think his time is up at Arsenal more broadly, but he can beat a man and the ball sticks to him. Remember City at home 23/24 and we used him as an outlet on the right.

[Char Dicko @623271cd]

@clivepafc @TomCantonMedia How does this always fucking happen? Missing big players at the wrong time. Losing it without your best players on the pitch feels harder to swallow.

[Char Dicko @623271cd]

@Alan_Alger_ Can't seeing us doing it now. Gutting, but can only blame ourselves.

[Char Dicko @623271cd]

@clivepafc @timstillman_ And ultimately, it all comes down to individual brilliance. Cherki cross for the first goal and the pass for the second. Feels unfair, but we only have ourselves to blame.
