Arteta tapping his watch after Arsenal took 4 minutes to take a free kick in the first half. 100% he'll cry on about the first goal being a foul.


The amount of time they waste on offensive set pieces is absolutely ridiculous. Spend half the game watching Gabriel playing with his cock to indicate which version of the same ball on top of the keeper they’re going to do.

If we can go there without our best mf (sorry Sandro fans I love him too), and captain and also mainstay CB and win (albeit in hard fought manner) quite comfortably then we can do anything this season. Do have to admit Botman’s return to the team has been so so important. Perfect timing.

See my "tongue in cheek" reply earlier.  I even hinted if we win 0-2 tonight then Bruno can't get his place back.  Honestly, I was only joking.

 

 

Of course you were, nobody would say that in anything but jest!

That was such an assured performance, i'm actually blown away. Its not like they had a rotated side, they went full strength, they where at home, had the crowd on their side, they where unbeaten in 13 games, and hadn't lost at home since last April, and we just rocked up, without two of our best players in Schar and Bruno, and we played our own way, and controlled the game, not the possession or the shot count but the game. They had the ball, but it always felt like that was because we wanted them to, and we dictated what they did, so much so that Howe had the absolute confidence to go 5-5-0, and say "Break us down, I fucking dare you.". We are morphing into an elite side before our eyes and its quality.

Tonali was excellent without his buddy Bruno.

 

Didn't think he was great at all, a bit panicky and frazzled in fact, but glad Willock got some minutes. And Botman did great to get through another 90.
