Qwiss That should be the starting midfield going forward btw.
I don't mind giving Trossard more chances but I thought he was just as "meh" as everyone else has been in that position so far this season.
Brentford vs Arsenal. Saturday 17:30 UK time.
What a moment for Havertz. This game couldn't have ended better for us.
Very worrying that we're so toothless offensively though.
DiabyKungFu assume you thought Ramsdale was brilliant seeing as he got a clean sheet.
English flamini doing well
DiabyKungFu TBF a quick check of the passing stats says he was as uninvolved as Havertz, Vieira, etc I'd keep him in until Parteys back though as at least he has added goal threat.
Odegaard needs to hit three gears higher. He's terrible these days

Relieved we got the maximum. Can imagine a touchline ban incoming after the hearing because they hate our guts, and if that happens who knows how we fare for the next few.
Offensively, here's hoping the front four of Ødegaard, Jesus, Saka and Martinelli string a few hundred minutes together now. and cultivate some threat.

It is concerning that in the game we pretty much controlled from start to finish we still cannot create quality changes, and Saka stopped attempting to take on defenders. What is a big positive though, is the fact that we stopped this lethargic build up from the back that was creating more problems than good opportunities to attack.
He’s just come back from a month out - give him a break.
It’s Dec and we are top of the league, it’s like 2022 all over again 
swider Saka and Ode are both way below their best but we still won, we had a very marginal VAR call against us, we are solid as fuck. I choose to believe we can only get better. Need to be much sharper and move the ball quicker though, thats the key to creating more. Have to stop letting the oppos get back into their shape.

Qwiss Arteta also cannot be so utterly averse to the occasional fullback overlap.
Everyone's grandmother knows Saka and Odegaard are going to shape swing one in on their left foot and can barely do anything on the outside.
Saka in particular doesn't have enough pace. I really, really hope we make a major wide forward signing in January.
Trossard and Odegaard ran more than anyone else in the team.
Nketiah ended his Arsenal career this eve.
lorddulaarsenal 
what? How?
Yes and we always suck after the international break and at 1730 KO’s away from home for some reason.
Got a good run of games now so hopefully we will be a bit more fluid with our football.
He ended it about 9 months ago when he forgot how to score after his ‘good spell’
Tragically bad.

Qwiss no Arsenal player should even think about playing that attack like he did. School playground stuff
Exactly. I was delighted to see him start in midfield but he only proved how difficult the role is to execute.
