Do you find Arsenal boring? Blame their opponents. #AFC matches are terrific entertainment when they play against teams who dare to open up (Bayern Munich and Inter Milan, for example). In the league, it is the opposition's fear that kills the spectacle.

Games are between two teams but it’s always on Arsenal to make it entertaining.
Teams factually play their deepest when they face Arsenal because they know they can’t compete head to head.
The league has collectively decided to make games against AFC boring to get something.
Its really strange, when Xhaka was playing for Arsenal the pundits use to call him a thug and always on his back. Now at Sunderland they speak about him as an excellent player which he always has been. He hasn't changed, the narrative has
Bayern had won 17 of 18 going into this game, were still unbeaten, and averaged 3.6 goals p/game...
Arsenal limited them to 2 shots on target and just 0.8 expected goals against.
The two best sides in Europe this season met...
And Arsenal DOMINATED.
Scary team!
2019/20, when Liverpool and their media outlets thought scoring goals from set-pieces was in vogue 👀
Arsenal become the masters of this dark art and every Liverpool fan and their sponsored media outlets accuse them of ruining football.
Hypocrites
Another really boring goal there from Arsenal. Conservatively inverting their teenage fullback who ran the whole pitch against Atletico Madrid. Passing to our Brazilian winger who conservatively bends it in at the far post.
Slot is feeling the pressure.
When a manager turns to childish excuses and result based analysis, you know they're feeling the pressure.
No mention of their luck and how they deserved to be mid table after the first 5 games?

@AntJKernich@KP24 Test centuries happen in more Tests than they don’t, ridiculous to compare it to shooting 59, I don’t think there’s been 20 in history on tour
Arsenal shouldn't let the Gillett penalty overturn die because we won.
Some questions:
How does Webb explain the decision when he said this?
How can a referee be barred from officiating the team he supports... but not their direct rivals?
How does ANY official end up on 66% of our opening 6 games?
EPL has to see how rank amateur all of this is and how damaging it is to the league.
If an Arsenal player scored a late winner in a Carabao Cup third-round game against a Championship team and got himself sent off the way Ekitike did, the entire country would give us a mentality lesson for the next week.
@zachblenkinsopp@flushingitgolf No it isn’t, their job is normal weekends on the PGA tour, it is an honour to represent your country, they are wealthy enough! Typical American thought process!
🚨🗣️ | Jan Aage Fjortoft (on the double standards from the English media praising Pep for his defensive gameplan vs Arsenal on Sunday): "We should be aware that when Arteta did that with only 10-men at The Etihad, we had a go at Arsenal for being too deep... And now we're giving compliments to Pep for being that deep [with 11-men]."
If Arsenal spent £600m. Went 1-0 up Away to Man City. Then subbed off all their attackers and parked the bus with 11 men in their own box diving for 90mins and drew
I can guarantee you the criticism would not be on City for failing to win the game. It would be on Arsenal. Again.
Nobody in top 6 has had start we have had,nobody, Utd,City,Forest,Liverpool,CL away, and weve lost 1 game to a FK that they havent scored in 15yrs, while bedding in 7 new players. and its not even end of Sept.
Critique the team all you want, but allow for some perspective
