We got a decent result, but going forward we looked terrible. It’s been the case for weeks, months even, but I hoped we’d turn up today… we didn’t. I will say this though, Madueke looked better. Somehow all our subs came on and made us worse.
It’s not the amazing forward play that we would like, however I thought the performance was what I could have hoped for. I saw some better moments in the final third in this one with better passing triangles. Atletico settled into 5 (or more) at the back, which makes it tough. I also wonder what the game would look like if we could have started with a fit Havertz and Saka in the front line.

That was Saka’s worst performance in an Arsenal shirt, ever!
Honestly, in the first half both Gyökeres and Madueke had good moments.
As for the whole we were up against five thing, when aren’t we?
I actually thought we were all right tbh
