Arsenal v Nottingham Forest - Sat 23rd November 1500 KO

MistaT

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

HomeSteak

easy work. nice

USArsenal

FT 3-0. Nice win, nice performance.

Tactics

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

MistaT

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.

IBL

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

Claudius

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

Clrnc

Claudius We have a good squad. I hope excuses are now firmly put in the bed.

This is good rotation, we should be doing this more often at home against shit teams.

Even the subs were good

naz

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

Claudius

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.

Claudius

Ethan is our SECOND youngest premier league scorer.

Clrnc

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

goon

Great performance, most enjoyable of the year.

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

MistaT

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

DiabyKungFu

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

Claudius

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

QuincyAbeyie

DiabyKungFu and what a crazy construction it was.

Dom

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.

MistaT

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.

Qwiss

Claudius Nwaneri and Jorginho have been fit and should've played a lot more.

Dom

MistaT

Forest have been in decent form so you can read a fair bit into today's performance. There was a zip and invention to our passing in the first half that's been missing this season. With everyone fit, Rice obviously starts but Jorginho should be playing more than he has been and offers something that Merino definitely doesn't.

Sicario2 - Tier 1

Was at the game and honestly it’s a pleasure watching Odegaard when he’s on it. Against average/shit teams at home is his bread and butter.

He was absolutely sublime, our engine and coaching players what to do positionally. The way he plays is infectious and we clearly missed his presence.

Nwareni looks like a baby Odegaard the way he plays, his ceiling is enormously high.

Merino is slowly, slowly getting better 5 percent every game.

Loved that Partey scored, that’s how you shut the haters.

Scoring goals is how you hit back against rape allegations?
