Arsenal is actually proof that you don't need to sign superstars to contend for the top spots in the league. Just need to add some quality. Xhaka, Odegaard and Zintchenko are exactly that, quality but no where near 100mil superstars.

This is comfortably the best defence we've had in my fifty years of supporting the toon. 

Even under Keegan and Robson we crumbled in that sort of game.

No-one has took the piss out of us all season and that's a first.

They've had easier games than us though. They'll probably win their next game too against Everton, but then they have Man City & Arsenal after that.

 

Everton is a cup game, next 2 are City at home and Arsenal away, good chance we put some room between us again.

Nick Pope is the best goalkeeper in history.

 

Absolutely love the guy. Makes so many clutch saves and is just so cool and composed back there. Also dominant coming for crosses. Was a sensational signing.

Pope - 8 did was needed, maybe would have been higher if he had more to do but was well protected and had one poor clearance

 

Trippier - 8 - My motm, the problems came down the other side largely

Schar - 8 - A rock

Botman - 9 - A hard place

Burn - 6 - Maybe harsh as was better later but if we were going to concede today it was probably from him being rinsed by Saka

 

Longstaff - 7 - Excellent shithousery but limited passer

Bruno - 6 - Maybe harsh but one of his poorer performances was too keen to offload the ball with too much ambition and lost it a few times

Willock - 7 - Just doesn't offer too much at this level but lots of hard running

 

Joelinton - 8 - Should have scored, and was doing is here there and everywhere act

Wilson - 6 - Not sure his fault, he was getting fouls blown for breathing on them

Almiron - 8 - Almost entirely for his superb tracking back

 

Wood - 4 - Was useless. Needs binning asap. 

Murphy - 4 - Gone backwards.

ASM - On too late to do anything or get a score

 

We desperately need another defensive mid in to shore things up and a winger. With Isak back hopefully Wood will be less of a thing but would be nice to see him replaced too

Approaching 10 hours without conceding a goal. 
 

This team is desperate now for some added creativity and explosiveness in attack. We feel very jaded in that area and obviously Isak coming in will help, but I’d love more options for our wings and central midfield.

You give trippier an 8 and MOTM but then gave Botman a 9 ?

1.13 vs. 1.08 xG. They created fuck all.

:lol: Arsenal fans in my football group chat (the joys of living in North London) carrying on like they had 60 shots on target and we came to defend with everyone on the line. Fucking crybabies.
