I love the way Emile moves. Most aesthetically pleasing player on our books, Odegaard a close second.
est Yeah, it's the tempo at which he naturally likes playing. He is pass and move at its best.
Kai Kai Kai.. What the hell was that weak ass shot?
USArsenal a thimble of confidence and he hits that first time with his left.
Quite impressed that this team can dominate possession against Brentford first team away and play so well.
Really reminds me of those Wenger youth sides he used to put out that dominate PL teams
Guys, you know you will get booked if you take too long with throws.. Why are we playing that game?
We really don't learn from time wasting crap man... to be booked as an Arsenal player for time wasting in the first half of the game... dire
Havertz looks like a player that is still learning the game.
Havertz is making me miss Xhaka. Quite the accomplishment.
He’s so scared tries to unload the ball asap, usually backwards
FEBravo He's done the dirty side of Xhaka's game quite well. Made a couple of good recovery runs and clearances in our own box. Just so evident that his confidence is shot in everything else he tries.
Nketiah's brain lets him down in decisive moments. I am not sure there is a solve for that.
Rohit he's a fraction off on everything he does. Touch a fraction too loose, makes decisions a fraction too slowly, just barely not quick enough to do the necessary damage...

If only he'd dummied that to ESR.
Havertz.......
Clrnc
He looks so basic…
Nice half from all the chaps. Patient possession control, all technically assured. Precious minutes for Emile.
goon I wish he could do the basic well right now.
Given the number of changes, and the strength of the Brentford side, that's a very good first half performance. Controlling the game, and very good shape and press off the ball.
Nelson has been excellent. ESR looked at his best for 10 mins there.
that wissa fella from brentford is an arteta style finisher. wouldn't be surprised if we paid 70m for him.
Meatwad he made that chance look so hard
You or anyone here probably won't agree but think Havertz has been fine. I'm actually seeing progress in these last two stints
James yes I meant offensively. Agree with you on the defensive side and probably why Arteta rates him so much.
Enjoyable half that. Some decent spells of possession, we controlled the game well, and pressed them well without it. I expected us to struggle considering Brentford put out a strong 11, and they usually step up against better sides.
