We haven’t had a poor start, we are just playing poorly compared to last season.
Our form is similar to teams that have won the league or finished second.
Last year, after 12 games we had conceded 11 and scored 30. We can get pretty close to both which would be impressive since we’re having a “poor” start. What a time to be a gooner, the estandards have been set
I love how far we’ve come where this is considered a “poor start”
Arteta really has completely changed the culture of this club
When do we stop with this “poor start” narrative? Really?
When some of these folks put their brains back in their heads, maybe.
Give me an undefeated in the first ten matches with 24 points and tied highest gd poor start every season.
Downvoting this nonsense. A poor start means we lose at least twice. Check yourself before you wreck our morale.
This sub was in a melt down after our draw to Fulham to be fair
Poor start???
The start is good. But last year, the performance was exemplary. The attacking moves in the first 30 minutes were breathtaking. And beyond expectations.
But, towards the end, teams were beginning to work us out. So I am patient about the present status particularly that we are not with Partey.
Partey still has lots to offer specially thwarting the potential counter attack from opponents and starting our own wave of attack.
I really don’t understand how this a poor start
I thnk he means fluidity of play was poor not the results.
We are definitely more conservative than last season as we should be. Long season. We’re have to play the strongest XI or something close to it in an extra competition (UCL).
Lol where’s this poor start? Were top of our CL group and unbeaten in the league.
Bro people be so fucking deranged. We are unbeaten in the league. 2 points off the top. We beat City. Won the community shield. But we were pretty good last year so now if we don’t beat everyone 4-0 it’s a fucking disaster.
Not attacking you OP just this narrative that keeps getting thrown about
We should always strive for improvement.
Saying we have had a poor start isn’t self-deprecating, it’s the opposite. Our standard is that much higher now because of the bar we have already set for oursevles, we shouldn’t be regressing in performance and it’s okay to be critical of that. All three of our non-win results this season had commonly recurring self-sabotage bozo moments, that specifically needs fixing. No team is perfect but when you’re competing with City you need to be as close to it as possible.
Granted we are not playing free flowing football. But this isn’t a poor start
Last season really did a number on some people. “Poor start” lol
