How these roles work
Blamed (Causer)
Fans named this player as the direct cause of a negative outcome. Examples: "Maguire gave away the penalty", "Ten Hag's formation cost us". Scores are amplified when the causer is blamed clearly.
Sympathy (Victim)
This player was on the receiving end of something — a foul, a bad decision, being dropped, or let down by teammates. Fans feel for them rather than against them.
Credit (Beneficiary)
Fans gave this player clear credit for a positive outcome — a goal, an assist, a key moment. Includes players who enabled something good to happen. This is the co-winner of a match moment.

How ordinary are we without Declan Rice in midfield? That 2nd goal was unbelievable, how we just let them run through our midfield and on the wings without commiting a single professional foul. This season is coming close to us destroying everything we fought so hard for.
I don't know why he started with Kepa again?? That guy is a walking disaster in front of goal.

There’s so much slander for gyokeres at least he’s there in the right positions. Jesus should work on himself instead of mouthing off at interviews
Jesus Christ, can Arsenal fans get their heads out their asses and finally acknowledge that Arteta's lost the plot? They'd much rather shit on their own players non stop than acknowledge the gaffer has got it all wrong.

@AFTVMedia Hmm Dowman electric, White all wrong. Big Gabi playing sloppy, Jesuś so so bad, definitely needs to be sold in the summer.
MLS might not have a future @ the club
Man you would hope he him randomizer on squad picks… lmfao but he actually picked that team.
Imagine correcting your co commentator that it was a block, then having to see in slomo how wrong you are.
he is but young players need confidence from the manager and the fans
not everyone is like Rooney, most young players do take many steps backwards to go forward.
Nwaneri is the same, and Dowman will probably experience this over the next few years
I’m wondering if my stream is miles behind because I see people complain about Gyokeres when it was clearly an awful pass to him.
Jesus Christ, can Arsenal fans get their heads out their asses and finally acknowledge that Arteta's lost the plot? They'd much rather shit on their own players non stop than acknowledge the gaffer has got it all wrong.
@AFC_Beeb @IvesEsq @Arsenal He shifted Dowman to the middle to accommodate Madueke. Starting Odegaard beside Norgaard is wrong in the first place. Only Rice can play the lone DM in this pattern of play. Then there's White who can't defend and Mosquera is looking like a fraud at that CB. G. Jesus is a waste.
Am I really supposed to stoop to your level and answer this disingenuous question? We both know the answer.
So ok you all are downvoting my “correlation between winning football matches and winning trophies” comment lmao.
Like I said Arsenal “support” is mental
So eager to pull out the sack they can’t agree on basic facts.

Jesus christ they mock Ben White for claiming a handball, the replay shows it was clearly a handball, and then they downplay that it was a handball. The clear anti Arsenal bias by these commentators is unreal.

Ben White picked in the England squad then getting schooled by Championship wingers. Cracking.

@SouthamptonFC Congratulations from a Sunderland fan. Over the moon Ross Stewart scored.
@Arsenal Gabriel Jesus needs to leave this summer. Enough is enough.
Either Kai Havertz starts as a striker or he doesn’t play at all, he’s of no use in the midfield.
Norgaard has been really impressive, I hope he gets the chance to play more.
It fucking pisses me off whenever I see Gabriel Jesus receive the ball in our own half.
Thinks he's Harry Kane when in reality he's playing like 2026 Neymar.
My god, I've never seen a more useless striker than the current version of Jesus. Utter waste of space.
Lol how long did you have this graphic ready—seems like you had it prepped prior to the game

Too many things are …
Was there a reason Arsenal tried short corners all game? I understand wanting to prove the critics wrong, come up with new ideas,and there were some decent opportunities made. But surely you'd want to try those only if you go up and are in control of the game.
@Arsenal Like it or not Arteta got his sub wrong in this game. Why remove Odegaard and Havertz to use Zubi and Norgaard ? I’m not a coach but he’s getting the obvious things wrong.
That’s cause he hasn’t had the directness coached out of him yet. Actually shameful.
I'll probably get downvoted to oblivion and if I'm wrong tell me. I hope I'm wrong, but Arteta stays only if he delivers the EPL and UCL. Both. But he will deliver just the EPL probably (I hope so...), because the remaining teams in UCL can smoke us with this type of play. Just a…

Fan Narratives
Arsenal Fans Turn on Arteta After Southampton Defeat
Emerging
Controversial
Arsenal supporters are venting fury at manager Mikel Arteta following the loss to Southampton, with debate centring on his tactical approach, team selection decisions, and whether he has the ruthlessness required to win major trophies. The frustration is compounded by back-to-back defeats that have derailed title momentum and sparked calls for managerial change or a dramatic shift in how Arteta manages his squad's mentality.
Arsenal Fans Divided Over Dowman's Controversial Performance
Emerging
Controversial
Arsenal supporters are sharply split on teenager Max Dowman's display in the 2-1 defeat to Southampton, with some praising his physical dominance and potential whilst others criticise the team's lack of urgency and question whether young talent is being stifled by overly cautious coaching. The neutral discussion reflects frustration at the result overshadowing what could be a significant breakthrough performance from the academy prospect.
Fans Fuming Over Pitch Invading Balloons
Southampton and Arsenal supporters are collectively losing their minds over balloons repeatedly floating onto the pitch during the match, with the inflatables becoming such a persistent distraction that fans are demanding whoever's responsible be "fired into the sun." The balloons became the unlikely villain of the afternoon, turning what should've been a proper tactical battle into a comedy sketch about matchday organisation.
Arsenal Fans Turn on Kepa After Southampton Loss
Emerging
Arsenal supporters are furious with goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga following the 2-1 defeat to Southampton, with the discussion dominated by calls for him to be dropped and criticism suggesting he's fundamentally incapable of performing at the required level. The negativity centres on Kepa's perceived role in the loss, with fans questioning his basic competence and suggesting his presence in the squad is actively damaging to the team's prospects.
Arsenal Fans Savage Jesus After Southampton Loss
Emerging
Arsenal supporters have turned on Gabriel Jesus following the 2-1 defeat to Southampton, with the Brazilian forward becoming the focal point of their frustration over a limp, disjointed performance. Fans are questioning his role in the team entirely, suggesting he's a passenger rather than a contributing player whilst also levelling criticism at Mikel Arteta's management.
Arsenal Fans Divided on Mosquera's Defensive Performance
Controversial
Arsenal supporters are split on centre-back Cristian Mosquera following the 2-1 defeat to Southampton, with some praising his versatility and ball-playing ability whilst others criticise his vulnerability in one-on-one situations and overall confidence on the day. The neutral sentiment reflects a fanbase genuinely unsure whether Mosquera represents a genuine upgrade or merely another defensive signing that's failed to deliver under pressure.
Arsenal Fans Mock Quadruple Hopes After Southampton Defeat
Emerging
Following Arsenal's 2-1 loss to Southampton, supporters have seized on the result to ridicule the club's earlier quadruple ambitions, with fans sarcastically charting the decline from quad to treble to double and beyond. The consensus suggests most quadruple talk came from media hype rather than genuine fan expectation, though some argue the mockery has become more prevalent than the original optimism ever was.
Arsenal Fans Divided Over Norgaard's Display
Controversial
Arsenal supporters are locked in heated debate about midfielder Christian Norgaard's performance against Southampton, with some condemning him as "atrocious" and blaming him for the midfield's collapse, whilst others argue he wasn't the primary culprit and point to systemic issues across the team's defensive shape.

Arsenal Fans Rage at Havertz Midfield Experiment
Emerging
Arsenal supporters are furious with Mikel Arteta's repeated decision to deploy Kai Havertz as a midfielder, blaming the German international's poor performance in that position for costing them matches across multiple competitions.

Arsenal Fans Question Club Direction After Southampton Loss
Emerging

Captivating Quotes
Straight From the Fans
The best fan quotes from this match — the funny, the sharp, the viral. These are ready to use in your video, in subtitles, or as thumbnails.
"We have to accept that Arteta has to leave regardless if win the EPL but I don't see his tactics on attacking is that good enough."
"Arteta stop asking the player to look themself in the mirror. You should F them straight away. This is what great manager are to bring in the trophy. So near already!!! Common, F them and disgrace them. Dont fit to wear Arsenal shirt. Look at every champion team, at this stage its all winning but your F team is having weak heart and leg. You need to show them the temper disgrace them as much as you can"
"Unnecessary pressure that 2 back to back losses bring. These losses arent even in the competition we so desperately need. Arteta. Its 1st team from now on. Please"
"This team need African player like Partey to be stable and midfield control..like Ngolo Kante..someone like Declan Rice.."
"Its okay to not to win..that alright"
"Arteta is a bottler.
The fools think we will win the quadruple. Who are the clowns now?
Our season is complete over."
"Losing to a lower-tier team whose salaries or wages are dozens of times lower than yours. Embarrassing.
Six wasted years."
"Why was Gabriel Jesus started in the first half instead of putting Gyökeres on right away? A wasted first half.
Gabriel Jesus gets paid a massive salary just to run around aimlessly."
"MIKEL THE TIME FOR GAMES IS OVER. WIN THIS LEAGUE OR GET OUT OF THIS CLUB. YOU AND KEPA BOTH"
"2:43...Good thing with Raya is that he usually communicates with the defence , even the first goal am 100% sure he could have saved ..he Never waits the opponent to come for him like this 💔💔💔💔 😭😭😭...But again, why was saliba outside?? Saliba and gabby their communication is topnotch infact Gabby could not have been injured if saliba was inside coz gabby alone was overworked which led to injury....Am even more worried on Tuesday , and again more pressure on premier league because City will make sure they win all of their matches . But for us with this kind of jokes mmh!!😭😭😭😭😭 ooh! God!!!"

"It would be arsenal if they end up not winning a single trophy this year"
"It would be arsenal if they end up not winning a single trophy this year"
With all due respect United gave us the biggest bottle jobs in history. Bookies paid out on United in 98. Also, You were 8 points ahead with 6 games to go and lost to city
Been supporting this club for 35 years. It would be a generational fumbling to walk away with nothing at this juncture, but unfortunately I can see it happening. This team is beyond exhausted, mentally and physically, while City went out and spent a couple hundred million to fix their team and are now looking like themselves again. I fucking hate it here.
Arsenal’s worst nightmare is not winning a single trophy AND we stay up
Imagine after being in contention for a quadruple, all they 'achieve' is Spurs getting relegated...
i think it would take a collapse of epic proportions for Arsenal not to win the PL this season. Like not getting the CL is fine, expected even. Its the most difficult trophy of their season. However the PL is super secured for them. It would be a terrible result for them to not win it.
No way. There’s no way they can bottle 7 points with 7(?) games to go
Best to always expect disappointment as an Arsenal fan lol. Getting our hopes up only sets us up for failure 😂
Hard to lose the league sadly
If they manage to bottle the league in that position against this City team that requires some kind of talent
Mean :(

>Negatives: the loser mentality running through every inch of this club on full display again.
We'll be the biggest losers to ever win the league, but that's more an indictment of everyone else for letting it happen than us
Glad to see Kepa’s feelings costing us 2 cups.
↳
We lose this game regardless of the keeper
↳
I got downvoted before the game for saying he shouldn’t be playing for us again… people on this sub got memories shorter than the coward in charge.
Maybe they need him to take us out of the Champions League next week before it registers…
↳
I got downvoted before the City match because I wanted to see Raya. This sub was still on the he ‘deserves’ train. Deserves fucking what? Backup keeper’s first season and we piss away 2 trophies for his feelings 🫡
↳
I know.. Raya is not only a much better keeper he brings more calm to the defence overall. Fucking pissed.
↳
Raya has got good goalkeeping, good distribution, and good leadership. Kepa has neither of those things.
Starting from this coward of a manager, it's hopeless
Don’t worry guys.. we’ll use this cup exit as “fuel”
Comes from the cowardice of our manager. Southampton were direct and it worked.
"Two down. Two to go"

One of them is really hard for them to miss it. Not impossible but damn close to it.

If we get to complete the clown meme with Arteta looking at the quadruple and ending with nothing - it’ll be a truly beautiful thing.
Lol would be a legendary bottle for the league but anything is possible
We will be there no matter what
They’ll win the league by +5 points
Please God.
Sporting pls
Don't let the concentration slip. We need this legendary quadruple
↳
Will the FA give them a golden bottle?

"Of course the dire performance will be the talking point, but Max Dowman was sensational. Superstar of the future

Wait what arteta will do to him. In 6 years he will get loan to Kopenhagen because he misslearned how to play football. You can literaly see it from **ALL OUR FUCKING PLAYERS**. Every single one got more bad under arteta.
If dowman starts playing week in week out under arteta, he will also become a sidepass and backpass merchant!
↳
Or run into the ground.
And eventually tear his hamstring and come back with not explosiveness.
It’s comical, he hasn’t figured out how to spread minutes. With him you either rot on the bench or you’re played to the death.
He won’t be if Arteta kills him off like Myles and Ethan.
Ethan was the same, then he was made robotic.
How Ben White justified giving him an earful on the broken down plays on that side I can’t even fathom. I don’t ever want to see him on the pitch again.
↳
Really? He overlapped multiple times and wasn't played the ball. Max is very promising but he's very greedy on the ball, reminds me of Wilshere who had a habit of trying to take on one too many defenders and then losing the ball.
I'm sure he'll win lots of silverware for Bayern or Barca or whichever winning club wants him
↳
Honestly, can’t even blame him if he went. Clearly we don’t deserve nice things
Can’t wait for him to burn out by 23 ala Saka and not win anything with us either at this rate. Hoping we at least manage to not completely shit the league bed with this lead.
↳

"Even if we win the league there are players who have come past their expiry date. "
"Even if we win the league there are players who have come past their expiry date. "
Jesus, Kepa, White, Martinelli, Trossard, Norgaard all need to cut. Havertz on his way there.
Even if? so optimistic, we gifted two trophies to city already lmao
↳
Fuck off edgelord, we're still sat 9 points clear.
↳
Gifted two trophies, also get your anger checked out
↳
Nice edit. Don't need to be angry to tell someone to fuck off.
or managers. same way as Zinny or Jesus who helped us get higher but that might not be enough
Gabriel Jesus, Ben White, Gabriel Martinelli. In that order.
Plus need a better / younger second keeper who mimics Raya in his style of play.
↳
Martinelli is often scapegoated in those discussions. His outputs are good, defensive numbers off the charts and he has very good qualities that we need in this squad. Doesn't mean he should be a starter but he's good rotation. Agree on Jesus and (begrudgingly) White which means we need replacements.
↳
Bro he has 1 goal in 25 league games. In what world is that "good" output?
↳
Jesus, White, Martinelli, Havertz, Trossard, Norgaard, Kepa, Madueke should all go, MLS, Mosquera should go on loan. Bring in new backup GK, LB, LW, ST, DM, LW, RW, AM, RB. All that money spent and that’s the replacements we need. Basically a whole XI

Really is an indictment of our attack that our most reliably dangerous player is a gd 16 year old kid.
We've had an attacking issue all season long but at least we had a rock solid defense. Now we're conceding silly goals for fun and still can barely score.

Arsenal with Kepa in goal… no structure, no stability, no confidence.

Everything looks shaky because the foundation isn’t secure.
This Arsenal ‘wobble’ feels similar to a period Liverpool had last year.

In February, they lost to Plymouth in the FA Cup and then dropped four PL points in a week to Everton + Villa.
Days later, Liverpool beat Man City at the Etihad. That’s only how the noise goes away. #afc

I'll probably get downvoted to oblivion and if I'm wrong tell me. I hope I'm wrong, but Arteta stays only if he delivers the EPL and UCL. Both. But he will deliver just the EPL probably (I hope so...), because the remaining teams in UCL can smoke us with this type of play. Just a couple of weeks ago everyone was talking about the quadruple, then treble, now no one dares to talk about a double.…

People are gonna compare us to Leicester city after this year. Enjoy the prem win because we will get it, we won’t change anything for the following seasons, and we won’t see a trophy again for another 6 years. Fucking ridiculous team and Arteta is losing my confidence. I don’t even know if I want him to stay even after winning the prem. But who would even replace him?

We didn't play too badly it was a typical open and competitive fa cup away game, we are dealing with a lot of injuries and players coming back from injuries,and have a lot of players in the red zones, our problem was the attackers apart from Dowman was that they couldn't hit the target when it mattered or make their keeper work hard enough, it's vital at this very important part of the season…

As I said, I am sure Arteta has a punishment/fine for any direct pass or incisive pass into the middle. He punishes any player who plays a progressive or direct ball into the middle.
The most blatant example, today I didn't see any DIRECT LONG PASS from Nørgaard, he always does this and most of the time it's effective, but Arteta doesn't like that.
I bet he will somehow punish Big Gabi for the…
