vox888 Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka accepted Saturday’s 1-1 draw, saying the team still lacked consistency and needed to improve if they were to continue their title challenge, but he also wanted the referee to blow the whistle like a teenager. vox888

The Gunners’ recent performance at the Emirates Stadium has been ineffective in midfield and therefore not aggressive. When Declan Rice was sent off early in the second half and equalised, there was no second tap to open.  ( vox888 )

The whole team needs to go back and improve. 

“We can look at it in two ways, either we have a chance to win the game, but after going down to 10 men against Brighton, it’s a tough task,” he told BBC Sport’s ‘Match of the Day’.

“Rice’s red card (yellow-red for obstructing an opponent from a free kick) I think it was too much for us. We just need to find some level of equality.”

“Like Brighton’s Joao Pedro who kicked the ball away in the middle of the field at half-time, but it didn’t go to him.” 

“’ Deck ‘ just touched the ball lightly but got sent off. ”  

“2024-24 is a good start. Although the last match was disappointing, the season is still far away.”

“The transfer market that brought Raheem Sterling in was a great signing for us. I’m very happy to have him here. I’m sure he’ll do something special for us.” 

Arsenal drew 2-2 at Fulham in their third league game of the season last term.
