  1. That the first header of his career for the butcher / chibi character
  2. As much as Arteta is a complete tit, Arsenal deserve the title based on not only their points but also performances so far this season. They’re completely there on merit which is incredibly impressive when you compare their spending to the other big clubs
  3. Outrageous goal, McTominay is so shit
  4. Looking forward to the day someone absolutely clatters Fernandes
  5. How often does Saka make a mistake? Barely ever seems to happen, always makes the right decision
  6. Turning into a really dangerous forward Nketiah, again, could have got him at cut price a year ago if we’d really gone for it but at the time he didn’t look like he’d develop as much as he has done in the space of a year
  7. Sad that Rashford plays for Man U, wish he’d left over the summer. Keeps dragging them to one goal victories
  8. We should definitely be locking him down to a longer contract
  9. He’s the classiest footballer we’ve had since Ben Arfa. Bruno is super classy but not a dribbler, whereas this guy can rinse people and has final product. I really like ASM but having someone with this quality who can get goals and assists consistently is amazing
  10. As great as he is at the back, I absolutely love having a CB with such good dribbling technique and close control, when he ran into the box and set Joelinton free with a perfectly weighted pass it was basically our best chance in the game. He’s fantastic
  11. Shit for the fans as it means we don’t know what stories to trust but ultimately it might be helpful to have loads of talk going round to help with our negotiations, who knows. Would love to see negotiations played out, I know it would almost never happen but would be great to see everything that goes into a complete transfer so that we actually understand it all
  12. You could argue that Wilson is stronger and can physically dominate defenders better with his hold-up play but Isak doesn’t need to do that as his technique means he can find space anyway
  13. 4. I heard he spent all his pocket money on those flying saucer pick n mix sweets when there were tons of fizzy cola bottles available. Can’t be trusted with his decision making and will never make it at the top level
  14. For me, I don’t think he needs to completely buy into the same system as all the other players, yes, he should press but I don’t think he needs to track back like others do as we can play a counter attack style by leaving him up the pitch. The main thing that needs to change is his decision making and linking up with teammates effectively like you say. He played a lovely through ball today which is the type of ball you never see him play and instead of trying to beat two players he made the decision to pass. I’m happy for him still to go for a few mazy dribbles every game, doesn’t matter if they don’t come off as they can be very dangerous and pull defenders out of position but it’s just about him weighing up things more and choosing a good option to go to a teammate when they’re making a run or are free and in a better position than him
  15. What’s the quality of our sewers like compared with Merseyside? Hopefully they’re not up to scratch and that’s enough to deter him if there is interest
  16. Why were there only four mins added on? There should have been four alone for Zaha’s time on the floor and the two mins it took him to leave the pitch
  17. Mudryk looked a nightmare today, clearly going to be class. Chelsea are a bunch of fucking dickheads
  18. Completely disagree, he set Willock free with a fantastic pass early in the first half. He did his usual job of mopping up numerous times by tracking back. He got into some good positions and didn’t strike the ball cleanly, not great but it shows he’s got more confidence now and while I don’t think he’ll ever be a completely natural finisher I do think he’ll improve. His general passing is really accurate
  19. I think our corners are at their best when we try something different but we can’t do that more than once a game really. Our stock corners seem to be coming to nothing most of the time which is odd given how tall so many of our players are, but it has to be said that when we do get our head on the ball we are so poor at getting pace and direction on it

    Joelinton

    I absolutely love him
  21. Think this is a fair assessment. Can’t be underestimated how much those solid players and the system they play in have meant we are where we are and they can contribute creatively in patches but no one else is consistently delivering creatively other than Bruno so we desperately need creative player(s)
  22. The only thing teams have found out is that we’re class and they need to concede territory and the ball in order to shut up shop. Their approach means that they’re kept to a long range effort or two each match with the hope of maybe getting free late on in the second half for a proper chance

    Joe Willock

    Good to see from him to be honest, shows his confidence is up
