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.
Arsenal v Nottingham Forest - Sat 23rd November 1500 KO
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.

Just back from the game. Thought Saka and Odegaard were brilliant, Merino was again very good and it's early days but I'm a little bit in love with Jurrien Timber.
Is it weird to say that, at the age of 17, it feels like Ethan Nwaneri's first Premier League goal has been coming for a while?
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.
DiabyKungFu and what a crazy construction it was.

Scoring goals is how you hit back against rape allegations?
How was Calafiori today?
lorddulaarsenal quiet but solid.
We really do look so much better with ode
QuincyAbeyie I really hope that's not what he meant, but it is Sicario so....
lorddulaarsenal -- had some good moments early, but then drifted out of the game as we mainly played on the right.
Noticeably, he tracked back and stopped a potential breakaway.
He was booed the second he came on the pitch (by the Forest fans but in sure a few secret boos by those closer to home)

Concentrate on the game you little punk
Sicario2 - Tier 1 Talking big on an online forum, I suppose that's another thing you've picked up from listening to Andrew Tate and the like.
Good win, shame about the rapist goal.
lorddulaarsenal I didn't notice him too much as when he was on our side of the pitch, we spent most of the second half in Forest's half - but I did say to James, the man is a fucking unit!
