"The journey continues" - Mikel signs extension until 2025

Claudius

I have every vongidebce in this team. Look how they’ve reacted to losing Jesus. Arteta is a supreme. He’s improved so many players. Imagine how much this squad is worth now @QuincyAbeyie

My only concern is what an injury to another forward/ Partey could do. Hopefully we get at least Mudryk in.

Pepe LeFrits

Claudius I have every vongidebce in this team

But do the players have the vongidebce?

Burnwinter

Claudius I, too, have great vongidebce in this young and exciting Arsenal side.

Pepe LeFrits Ah damn, you geat me to the vungh

Big Willie

James Stop with the negativity @James 😆

James

Big Willie No negativity on my part mate haha. I just deal with how we're 'rated' on the daily in models etc. and it's exactly what I see. Unfortunately I can't go into too much depth. We're closing the gap though.

Claudius

Big Willie weird, but this is the first team to outplay us in the middle of the park. Espoaftervwr took out our starting fullbacks. We were just more dangerous in the box, and had Odegaard and Paetey penetrating.

Big Willie

Claudius the stats for 60mins to the end is so bad lol. Looks like total domination. Didn't feel like it was that bad.

Claudius

Big Willie they ran the game. But they don’t have Saka, Ode, Martinelli. That’s the difference.

The main thing here was we lost defensive coordination when the new boys came on. We weren’t tracking markers and managing the line properly. Elneny as well wasnt creating offense. We also always had numerical superiority in midfield and ceded it with Holding who offered nothing against a team that played on the ground. This is how you know Lokonga is not fit for purpose.

Big Willie

Claudius yeah ceding the midfield with Holding coming on was kind of expected but that was last 5 minutes or so no? Changing the fullbacks and being 4-1 up kind of made us a bit complacent.

When did Partey come off btw. Must have missed that sub but yeah him and Elneny are night and day when it comes to progressiveness,

Big Willie

Big Willie funny thing about these things is watching the game last night and seeing us 1-0 up and the graphic came up that had the probability of winning at that point 33% for us, 33% for Brighton and 34% for a draw. Screen changed before I could take a picture of it though.

@Claudius found it. Look at that. didn't take me long to find as it was at the 6 minute mark. At that point we were 1-0 up and on the front foot and almost scored a second but they still predicted Brighton had an equal chance of winning lol.

James

Big Willie That is just absolute nonsense. Arsenal were 10/11 (52%) to win the game before a ball was kicked.

Claudius

Big Willie

Elneny came on for Thomas in the 74th minute. The sun made sense given Thomas’s yellow card, overall durability and our lead. Even the changes for the fullbacks made sense when you see the upcoming schedule. Newcastle are next and also United and Spurs. We need to rest boys. So can’t fault Mikel there, but what a collapse. I wonder if he said anything about the lack of focus and intensity after the game.

Saliba especially looks out of form. Playing mascot for a month has hurt him.

Pepe LeFrits vongidebtly composed reply.

Big Willie

James I'm just messing about mate. But yeah, hard to imagine City not winning it in the end but enjoying it all and winding up all my United and Liverpool supporting mates.

Big Willie

James yeah that really surprised me when I saw it. Immediately wanted to take a picture because it seemed absured but it changed too fast. Searched for a full game video today to check and yeah, that's the stat they had.

James

Big Willie Looks to me like they've forgotten to update some sort of default graphic. Good spot though.

Claudius

James another fail for Oracle analytics or whatever it is they were running. Toss it out.

Rohit

In Arteta we trust.

This is an incredible turnaround. I doubted his ceiling but here we are doing things we didn't manage in all of Wenger's tenure here.

In that first half today, we not only looked the best side in the League like we have done so many times this season, we looked like the best club side in all of Europe.

He has got us playing at an incredibly high level all over the pitch. A lot of the season left but it's ours to lose in my opinion and that is a huge credit to this man.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Rohit he's been elite this season and so have his players.

Would be such a shame not to grab this with both hands and supplement our extremely stretched squad.

lorddulaarsenal

There have been spells this season where I feel we’ve played at our highest technical level in our lifetime.

It’s exciting as we still have areas to improve upon.
