The match against Watford is a replica of the same old Arsenal that we've seen all this years.


Arsenal face Watford knowing that a win for them will see them in third position level on points with Manchester city. The mission is simple, get the win and move third. Things look to be going well for the gunners with Aubameyang scoring 2 first half goals. They were in control of the match and it looks like they will add more goals to that in the second half.

Watford new head coach seems to be heading to a defeat in his first game.


Things changed very quick. It has been coming but they failed to take heed. Guendouzi already gifted the ball to the opponent 3 times which they failed to make use of.

They made sure Arsenal paid for the fourth one. A pass from Sokratis to Guendouzi was intercepted and the rest is history. Watford got the first goal and were given a lifeline. They now have a chance to draw the game. Arsenal lost control of the match immediately.


Emery in a bid to regain some control brought in Willock for Ceballos.

That was the first mistake. You are losing control of the match on away ground and you still out in an inexperienced youngster for an energetic Ceballos.


He went on to bring in Torreira for Guendouzi and Reiss Nelson for Ozil. That gave Watford the chance to dominate even further.

They bossed Arsenal all through. The Arsenal midfield is non-existent as Xhaka and Torreira couldn't do much against the motivated Watford players. They eventually got their chance after David Luiz conceded yet another penalty. The penalty was comfortably scored by Roberto Pereyra and Watford started looking for more goals.

Poor finishing and Leno save against Doucoure saved the gunners from what would have been a humiliating defeat.


The match clearly shows that Emery is not the right person for the job. He has shown that he is tactically inept and could be sacked anytime soon.
