For the first time since the David Luiz and Mustafi days we looked like we couldn't defend even if we tried. Do you see reasons for that? I know everyone had an off day, but the big change was Bruno starting the first time. Something to worry about? #Arsecastextra

What has happened to our corners and set pieces? Have we overreacted to the noise from last season and rule changes? We have lost our inevitability and our execution is poor.

#arsecastextra After such a great start to the season - especially after the win against Ipswich - and all the media hype that goes with it these days, was it a case of Arsenal being too complacent and not being fully focussed against what was a very good Brighton side.

Are either of you worried about how abjectly bad Arsensl appear to be on counter attacks this season? Even in games we’ve who we don’t seem to offer much in transition. Is this something Arteta can solve without new personnel #arsecastextra @gunnerblog.bsky.social @arseblog.com

Was Mik getting so fed up of Invincibles chatter, that he told the boys to play so badly and lose to get that question off the table? I’m hoping we batter those seagulls when they come to London Town…

It was the lack of any fight back that is killing me... ##arsecastextra

Well, that has completely fucked my weekend. I'm totally thrown off kilter. It's Sunday but feels like Monday. Totally lost and now have double International break to contend with. Fuck losing! How should we manage this as fans? Gardening, buying cheese or eating cake? #arsecastextra

My question is...what the actual fuck was that? ##arsecastextra

After the criticism in this fixture last year it felt like we were trying to "play football" as if we had something to prove, despite the game suiting us being more direct.

We have seen Arteta use this to our benefit but was this one we potentially got wrong?

Good morning fellas. Raheem Sterling clocked up 18,158 minutes before turning 25. Saka clocked 17,341 mins in that timeframe. Obviously injuries have occurred in recent years but is there any fear that we may have flogged Saka to the detriment of the longevity of his career? #arsecastextra

@arseblog.com @gunnerblog.bsky.social Carabao Cup final, Bournemouth home, yesterday…does every other team have the blueprint to beat us now? Be brave, defend with a high line (because we have no pace in attack) and press our defence high. This, not low blocks, is our new kryptonite. #Arsecastextra

Badly morning gents, do you feel y’day was ‘one of those days’ or are you concerned you’ve seen this game before? Worried a pattern is emerging against ultra high presses where we struggle to play through/over/behind - Bournemouth (H), City (CC), Brighton (A) @gunnerblog.bsky.social #arsecastextra

Grimly mornin gents. No need to get carried away. But not signing a game changin out-ball winger for us to do the dinky dinky when being pressed seems like it MIGHT age like milk in the sun. Important to be measured, BUT WHO DO WE FIRE FOR THIS ok bye #arsecastextra @gunnerblog.bsky.social

The “best” midfield in the league was bested in part, according to Mikel, due to things that “happened behind them”. What do you think those things were?

We said the first time Arsenal lost a game, people would talk about the transfer window. Well, here we are. Tzolis is fine but has struggled against Villa, Sunderland and no Brighton. Eze hasn’t done much either. Is the lack of firepower on the left side going to ruin our season #arsecastextra

@gunnerblog.bsky.social @arseblog.com is this the first match that we missed Saliba? There seemed to be some disconnect between Konsa and Gabriel #arsecastextra

Good Morning gents, well that ruined a perfectly good weekend. Why do you think the universe sent us that load of shite,right at the time we’re going to spend 3 weeks with every twat in the world telling us everyone’s now got a blueprint on how to beat us.
The timing was imPECKable!
