Ouchers. That was not a great penalty.

5
- In fairness, he only blocks it because he dives so late
  
  2
- No, that was quite bad.
  
  1
Trosaard is having a run of bad form

4
- Sadly I think that was our attempt to get him going again. He needs a Martinelli moment.
  
  5
Tbh, why was Trossard our pen taker anyway?

4
- Probably because Saka and Odegaard weren't in, and he did win the penalty.
  
  3
Feels nice when VAR does it's job properly. I didn't even pick up on that at all.

Clear handball, clear and obvious error missed by the ref

4
- Yeah, it was definitely missed. I'm not sure it was unnatural though tbh. Man was kinda just running there.
  
  4
  
  Eh, he brings his forearm down very decisively. I'm not sure why you'd do that if you were just intercepting a ball.
  
  2
  
  I wouldn't have given it but I'll take it
  
  1
  
  Guess it doesn't matter now...
  
  1
Nwaneri?

4
- I’d like to see him from the start
  
  3
- If only
  
  1
Not sure that's an unnatural position, I'm ngl.

4
- Ball don't lie, I suppose :p
  
  1
- Not really, bit it looks purposeful
  
  1
btw I should mention: the ratings form will be probably late, I have class after the game + a midterm take home for the next 48h after that lol. I'll find time today but not sure when.

3
- No problems
  
  2
We really needed that goal from that pen. Trosaard a bit off since coming into the starting lineup.

3
Jesus might be the unluckiest man to have ever lived

3
Raya you brilliant man

3
Please no lackadaisical passes this half. Especially from Trossard, it's starting to become a bit of a habit.

3
- I agree, It is worrying and I don't like it
  
  3
  
  I wonder if it's because he's trying to take over the Odegaard role? Sigh. Imagine if we have him back for Liverpool.
  
  1
Lol, nice goal

3
It's not a good sign for the latter that MLS comes on ahead of Kiwior, is it, lol.

3
- Maybe Kiwior is more defensive minded and we're looking for the left to push up with Partey, Gabriel and Saliba as a back 3?
  
  2
  
  Or, more likely, Arteta is furious with Kiwior for his mistake on Sunday and is punishing him for it by bringing on a youth player in his stead.
  
  1
Calafiori's done for good. Probably should have just pulled him off the first time.

2
I know it's difficult to pull off, but it's immensely frustrating to watch us try so hard to win it back, and end up losing it like that.

2
HAND + BALL = ?

2
Good effort by Jesus. Maybe should have tried chipping?

2
- I think he was a little too far away from the ball, so he couldn't have chipped, his leg was fully extended. I imagine that also made it easier for the keeper to know where it was going.
  
  1
  
  Yeah, I mean it also happens so quick. You're just reacting on pure instinct
  
  2
Kai doing the business as usual. What the fuck was that two footed sliding tackle?!

2
- Honestly if that had connected it might have been a red.
  
  2
  
  Should've been a red anyway.
  
  Dangerous play is seemingly not being punished this season, that's the third one our opponents have gotten away with this season.
  
  Nah tiny pulls on the halfway line and knocking the ball a few yards away are clearly worse for the game
  
  2
GODDAMNIT THESE ~~HAMSTRINGS~~ KNEES

2
White off is either for rest against Liverpool or an injury concern...

2
- Or the yellow :) #NoMoreRed
  
  2
  
  Ohh yeah, very possible
  
  2
oo, almost got there for Havertz, he tried lol.

2
Honeslty kinda shocked that we didn't score there.

2
- The biggest change to Kai this season has been his willingness to throw himself headfirst into plays, I love to see it.
  
  2
That looked fucking dangerous

2
- Two-footed, sliding, legs fully extended, studs showing. Thank Vishnu Havertz saw it coming and jumped.
  
  2
That was soo well defended, unfortunately...

2
Look at Havertz trying to play and fill the gaps of Ødegaard and Saka. Come on Arteta, be proactive and fix it.

2
Get in!!

2
- Those are horrible to conceed
  
  4
  
  Rather them than us :D
  
  3
There's no urgency to our passing

2
Nwaneri please

2
Oh that looks painful / bad for Calafiori.

2
Where's the yellow for kicking the ball away after the whistle?

2
Genuinely think that even Lamine Yamal wouldn't be allowed a start under Arteta even if all other attackers were injured.

1
Stream messed up, so I missed that

1
That was so close...

1
I think Nelli could have aimed far post. Nice effort

1
He went straight down the tunnel too...

1
The team sheet unfortunately shows the limitations of Arteta. His inability to adapt is a gift and a curse.

1
Decent start

1
If only Trossard was facing goal!

1
Trossard looks tiny wedged in between Rice and Havertz, lol

1
That should have been in!!

1
Why are we trying to soak up pressure against fucking Shakhtar Donetsk?

1
COYG

1
Wow... yellow for the simulation xD

1
Shakhtar good on the counter

1
Criminal miss hit by Trosaard

1
Looked like there should have been a freekick outside the box

1
They're not buying these Calafiori runs... we need to either pass it to him once to lend it some credence or stop doing it.

1
We're getting in good positions, but need to be more clinical

1
I really don't know that that was his fault...

1
Fucking hell, Raya bailing us out again.

1
Very unconvincing from us. Worrying.

1
Honestly, this team (with the exception of Raya and our defenders) look completely devoid of confidence.

1
We're just going to let them have the ball for the rest of the match? Sigh.

1
- I understand we're defensively solid, but why take that risk? Especially with a youth leftback.
  
  1
That was sich a soft yellow.

1
- Gotta even things out, you know.
  
  1
For fuck's sake. That would have been a great moment for Sterling to show himself. He certainly hasn't done it so far this season.

1
3 attempts on target against Shakhtar Donetsk and we're not questioning Arteta? He's better than this. We're better than this.

0
- Looking only at attempts on target is not valid anymore, imo, with how prevalent blocks have become. Especially since teams will turtle up against us and have 3-4 defenders in the box at all times.
  
  2
  
  We're also playing a heavily depleted squad. It's difficult to build team cohesion when players are missing games for weeks at a time
  
  2
  
  I just wanna play attacking football. We're not even trying to do that.
  
  1
- We're bringing on another defensive midfielder. Holy fuck! 😭
