Biggest surprise today has been Jorginho and Rice lasting the full match. Didn't expect that when I saw the lineup.
Don Pacifico Jorg is our most underrated player. Comes in once every 5 games and never puts a foot wrong.
Don Pacifico we have no one else to bring on to replace them that's why
Jesus is a hindrance
Game of 2 halves, good result, let's make sure Saka and Ode get rested good.
Odegaard looks hard these days.
Nice chiseled face and heading toward the Bergkamp "I mean business" look
I love beating the shit out of West Ham. Let's make it a tradition
Good professional win. Thought Zinny did quite well when he came on.
Sicario2 it's not a question of his ability (I've always been a fan) but surprise at his stamina given he typically doesn't last 90 and has barely played this season.
Clrnc He has lost his swagger. In summer 2022 he looked like a street baller. Now plays conservative, confidence completely shot.
Clrnc yeah, I know that we didn't have any of our traditional midfielders on the bench but I expected Arteta to try something else out to give them a rest.
Ben White is good but Timber is world class
Gurgen yep. No slight on White but Timber is an alien
Gurgen Ffs, he’s very good but let’s not hyperbole
lorddulaarsenal I love Benny White to bits, but yes, Timber is a sensational footballer.
🥲
RocktheCasbah if both are at their best Timber triumph easily. He is way better in tight spaces and technical ability to be more effective for us as a FB.
Sicario2 how you can say this to, um, anyone is just.... 🤣
YOU were the one writing our season off after one game when Timber got his ACL last season. If he's not world class, why were you so concerned?
Timber's had better performances than today and so has White. I also wonder how much the niggles has kept White from playing at full capacity.
daredevil White has not been at full capacity for pretty much all of 2024. Hopefully, we can see the best of him.
On Timber, the way Arteta spoke about him being a big miss last season makes sense now. He is sensational
daredevil what was he at full capacity? Nothing really special. His greatest attribute is his robustness and minimum 6/10 level of performance. But he'd hardly throw 8s or 9s out there the way Timber has been till it becomes the standard. What we expect from the role has changed. White is close to being as outdated as Tierney now.
Sticks tongue out, runs away.
Timber is the complete full back.

Remember a few of us saying how we’re struggling to get into the season, it’s amazing what some great football does for you. I’m back listening to podcasts again!
Our right side and Gabriel unstoppable right now.
