Look at the difference between their wingers and our wingers. Our wingers get stuck out wide and barely gets into dangerous areas. Arsenals wingers are more fluid and are allowed to move inside. They have made several good runs into Newcastles box.
Martinelli and Saka are miles better than Werner and Johnson is probably why they look more fluid

Newcastle have been dross because of the press by Arsenal. They are being forced into mistakes.
They have been just giving the ball away under no pressure. What was Botman doing for the second goal. Awful defending.
They have been terrible.

Fuck sake, 15 goals scored (and counting) in 3 games without reply. Talk about sorting your goal difference out.

They looked totally blunted against Porto though. Imo Kulu and Son can be just as good as their wingers, just both a little out of form recently

Them playing this well in the league but managing to go out against Porto would be incredible.

I'm not saying its their fault, because its not. Ange want the wingers to hold max width.

I think they’ll batter Porto at home, probably another 5-0 or so. Tbh we need them to have a run in Europe anyway if we’re to get CL form 5th

That is the thing though, under pressure. It is a huge difference to how they press and us. Everyone is pressing together, we press one and one, then Newcastle would have had the time to play it out.

To be fair, Arsenal makes Newcastle look bad today as they all press proactivly and not reactive like we did with wolves

Hope Ange and the players are watching the scum on how you should press and fill up with players in the box when playing a high line.

Arsenal played midweek and yet their running and pressing is so far above us it is scarry

A lot of it is Rice, the number of counter attacks he intercepts and shuts down is ridiculous
