Havertz plays like a broken man.
white overlapping on the right is amazing. I prefer that over whenever arteta is testing
Qwiss Yup. Think he'll be widely regarded as the best player in the league even outside of the Arsenal fan base (taking Haaland and his effectiveness out of the equation) by the end of the season.
Lukazan definitely think he'll be regarded as the best midfielder by the end of the season.
That left wing is electric with Marti when he gets the ball
Havertz really does seem like a square peg when it comes to our fluid passing game, hoping his other attributes make up for it
IBL his pressing has been pretty handy though. Mixed bag for him from my perspective but will be interesting to see his contribution in 3 months time.
Eddie may need to be bit more adaptable with his runs, Once or twice, the angles have been difficult for Øde to find him. Not a surprise given they hardly get to play with each other.
Timber has lost his head
HomeSteak he has been a bit ragged today. hasn't looked as confident on the ball. chalk it up to first start nerves
Martiinelli's hunger is something else
Martinelli playing like an man possessed. Basically running the the whole left hand side both in attack and tracking back
How many times has Martinelli recovered the ball?
Havertz looks a bit uncertain, a lot of underhit and misplaced passes
Pepe LeFrits Timber too.
Hope timber is ok
Sloppy end to half for Timber and now injured
Ricky1985 absolutely Tricky. He just fully gets it. Amazing manager.
Joy to watch this
Don Pacifico
I would like to see him alleviate the creative burden from Ode.
Don Pacifico Haverz's best quality so far has been his movement as it helps changes the shape of the whole team. On the ball he hasn't been up to much.
daredevil fair, not sure Forest with 5 at the back will be the one though.
Great half. Our stars are shining. New boys a bit quiet.
Interesting to see how Arteta changes things in the second half. Loads of options on the bench and a few looked tired early last week so will probably need fresh legs.
Qwiss not sure how much longer Partey will survive. Would sub on Kiwior and re-jig the backline.
Qwiss
Saka and Martinelli have really brought it today. They're beyond the point of busting a gut in pre-season. It's all about today, and here they are.
Martinelli, in particular, has been a force of nature!
