⚽ Arsenal vs West Ham, League, 26th Dec, 8pm

Qwiss

No Jesus, a goal down against proper tough opposition. That's a big statement win.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Zinchenko really adds another dimension. Brilliant player.

Segway

Wow, great performance. Total domination.

Saka is so fucking good. Ødegaard was incredible again as well. Just on another level.

lorddulaarsenal

Great win and performances. Kind of needed that to dampen doubts that the pre World Cup form wasn’t sustainable

Big Willie

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert yup. When we went 1-0 down I was a bit worried but the remainder of the half and how we pushed them back was great to see. We battered them. It was only a matter of time if we kept it up.

goon You only realised it now? 🙂

Clrnc It’s more aimed at fans and pundits questioning how we will cope with the World Cup or how long we can keep it up. But when the basics are so good things like that have minimal impact.

The only thing that could significantly alter how we are playing is injuries to key players.

Ben white is like Beckenbauer

So classy on the ball. Love him. Such an efficient full-back.

Big Willie

Nooorth London forever...

We are so well coached, everyone is absolutely clear on his role in the team which enables us to be really consistent.

Haven't been behind much this season so great to see we were unfazed by it.

Ode looks like he has gained some strength. Fucking epic today.

Pepe LeFrits

Magnifique.

JazzG

We weren’t too bad in the first half but as soon as the first goal game we’ve steam rolled them.

Ode was superb throughout, CBs out of position a few times but overall happy. Thought Partey was superb in the second half as well.

Big Willie

JazzG thought we were steam rolling them ever since the goal. Just missing the final ball/shot. Good to see us continue that into the second half. If we keep playing like this there aren't many teams that'll get points off us this season.

RC8

Absolutely blown away by how we played. That was some seriously good football. What an enormous relief to get a win like that when we needed it to instill belief into everyone at the club.

JazzG

Big Willie I think 2nd half we stepped it up, first half we were probing but second half we had more intent. Getting the goal so early helped as well.

Pepe LeFrits I'd put that on Gabriel, if he is going to leave his position to try and win the ball. He has no need to vacate his position considering Partey is there. Saliba should not however let Antonio control it

Coombs

Haven't heard pundits wax lyrical about Arsenal like this is a long time.

Pepe LeFrits

Well my wariness of this fixture was well and truly answered there. Great stuff. Was particularly great to see Eddie get on the scoresheet with a classy goal, could make a big difference over the next while.

Only real downside in the performance was Saliba's error; he continues to make costly ones.

MistaT

Pepe LeFrits -- felt more like the error belonged to Gabriel, Tierney, and Partey who all forced Saliba's hand.

MistaT

Odegaard with one hell of a game. Perhaps his best with us?

I thought we played well throughout with only a few glaring issues (mainly positioning between Gabriel, Partey, and Tierney). Our intensity was spot on at every scoreline, and we were unlucky to ever be down by one.

Nketiah had a nice game too. Thought he kept it simple, and played his game. If he stays focused on that he'll do well, doesn't have to overdo it when he's got Saka, Martinelli, and Odegaard around him.

Most of our players are so agile now. Pause, fake pass and turn creating space and new angles.
