Ref is such a homer

Rice there had the pass...but did not go for it

Worst I've ever seen Odegaard play.

Thank god we managed today without his contribution. Won't be the case every game. He needs to snap out of it and find some form asap.

QuincyAbeyie I don't. Probably because it was a one off and he improved quickly. Cala is now 10 games in and hasn't looked all that great. I hope he's half as good as White and time will tell

Great win. Partey MOTM. Nwaneri was good as well. Califiori & Odegaard tragic. Arteta spot on with almost everything today.
And I think Timber is the best defensive buy Arteta ever made, and he has made a shit load.

Good win at a difficult place

Excellent win in a tough game. Happy with that.

Very good win , with Saka missing I'm glad we aren't over reliant on playing that right side. Nwanners is quality but he will learn to release the ball earlier and quicker as he gets game time. I'd give Tierney some minutes and play a bit differently sometimes , this team is missing an overlapping FB

We have excellent structure, but we really do need a physically dominant wide attacker particularly on the left. Nico Williams would thrive out there for us.

Hearing some excuses from my Brentford mates re missing players, but even allowing for the goal start we gave them, I think that's as dominant a win as we've ever had in my old neck of the woods. Really enjoyed that.

We’re playing at such a high level in many aspects of the game Paulie. Brilliant infact.

Was reading the forum earlier and was sorry to hear of your recent loss 🙁 wishing you all the best bud

    Everytime I watch Nwaneri I'm impressed. Wow, what a touch and control of the ball he has. Good signs that Arteta is ramping up his involvement.

    Jesus' resurgence is a blessing. Him and Martinelli looked much better again today.

      Agree to all that Segs

      Nwaneri is special.

      By the way - I don’t want Mbeumo - he’s not Arsenal quality

      HomeSteak — when is XG counted/calculated? Is it at time of the shot?

      Because I think ambient did very well to fashion his shot, and disguise it. No way that shot is worth only .06xg….

        Segway he has very fast feet and can stop on a dime. must be a nightmare 1 on 1

        the best part of the win was that we came from behind away from home, and the contributions of nwaneri. in the grander scheme, it was very much a 'hold serve' type of game. same patterns, same frustrations.
