Sterling looks absolutely helpless tracking back

naz It's not even about age. I know there are people who kept saying we can't give Nwaneri minutes because he will burn out and would rather we drop points now for his future but in terms of quality he is probably better than Trossard, Sterling, Jesus currently

Clrnc --even better than Martinelli going forward, though Martinelli's overall impact on a game is still far larger

easy work. nice

FT 3-0. Nice win, nice performance.

Clrnc Agreed. Severely underused by Arteta during Odegaard's absence. Dunno how comfortable he's playing on the left wing but hope he gets a consistent run in that position if Martinelli keeps flattering to deceive

Game like today remind me that we should be having it easier (especially at home) vs most teams. Nottingham Forest have performed well this year, but we made them look like mugs. Doubt they even had a .5 XGF.

We have such an amazing foundation in Raya - Gabriel - Saliba that we really only need to complement it with some meaningful upfield possession. I'm sick of the horseshoe of death, today highlighted how to create and we need to bin our crossing patterns/desires (outside of set pieces) by playing the ball on the ground.

Good solid professional performance against a good team, its what we needed, hopefully get a few players back for the next one

I liked the starting line-up. They delivered. Also good use of the available squad as we now head into the gauntlet until January.

Hopefully this gives Arteta the confidence to rotate a little more. Nice to win so well with 4 starters on the bench

Ethan is our SECOND youngest premier league scorer.

Clrnc not sure what you mean by excuses. We had a tough start, red cards, and injuries. If Odegaard and Saka stay fit, we will be within 3-4 points of Pool by end of January.

Great performance, most enjoyable of the year.

Saka was brilliant but Odegaaed is the magic behind everything. He’s single handedly unclogged the drains.

Would have liked Saka off a little earlier if he's been struggling.

Claudius If we used our squad effectively we would have had more points. Every team have injuries. Doesn't mean you need to play 3 Dms

Clrnc By construction, we have one creative midfielder in the entire squad that is not a literal child.

We looked better with Jorginho. His positioning is almost always perfect and his connection with Odegaard and Saka is much better than the other CMs.

We need a younger Jorginho next summer as much as we need an upgrade on Martinelli.

Clrnc used what squad? We’ve been decimated by injuries. And have had meet players ramping up.

Dom — better than with whom? Or vs who?

Partey had a bigger game than Jorginho. Rice offers far more vs top teams. This was just the perfect game for Jorginho, wouldn’t read more into it.
