Now, I'll shut up about Kai Havertz for another 2 months.

7
WE'RE TOP OF THE LEAGUE!

6
WAKA WAKA EY EY TSIMINA MINA EY EY SIXTY MILLION DOWN THE DRAIN KAI HAVERTZ SCORES AGAIN

6
ngl watching our games hasn't been fun for a while

6
- It's frustrating, cuz I get what Arteta is doing, and in theory it should help us win more, but it's not nearly as fun to watch. That Moyes DNA creeping through, which if it wins us titles sure, but if it doesn't... I'd rather be watching last year's Arsenal even if we burned out.
  
  6
  
  If it doesn't win us titles, it's going to be an awfully and frustratingly empty feeling in May

- Im on the fence. One part of me wants us to be that attacking team who is out to score 3 or 4 goals a game, but there is that pragmatic side of me that is fine with grinding out results if it keeps us competitive.
  
  If you look at the bigger picture I think this is all part of laying a solid foundation of which to grow off of, and given how competitive the top 4 is, I'll take pragmatic for now.

KAI MY FUCKING MAN

6
Maupay getting ready oh my days

6
Holy shit Ramsdale, Rice saved your ass there

5
- It's such a sketchy situation long term for him cuz he needs to learn how to do that stuff and the only way to learn risks things like that happening, but if he doesn't learn he can't play to learn
  
  2
  
  But also that was quite atrocious and we got super lucky there
  
  3
~~Last minute ~~ Top of the League FC!!!!

5
- now we just need to beat Chelsea under a fully sold-out Emirates to restore parity amongst the two teams :)

Hai Kavertz scores outlr Left back has scomred looollll

5
The sheer cringe listening to seven nation army at a ground in this day and age

4
I can feel him getting crushed mentally

3
- Doesn't make that kinda mistake if he had the confidence tbh
  
  1
KAI!!!

3
I like this Trossard at CM thing. I feel like Tomi, Rice, Saliba and Gabi can manage on the defensive side of things, and it's not like Martinelli will slack on his defensive duties either.

Hope he gets his goal in the second half. We just need to be sharper and I'm sure Mikel is chewing some hide right at this point.

3
So they started a back 5 so they can double up on whoever tries to run in on the right flank

3
He couldn't do a cutback there?

3
A classic Nketiah header

3
Would like to see an early change to shake things up a little. Things seem stale at the moment.

3
- Havertz and Nelson imo
  
  4
  
  Yup. Hopefully we get that German LB Havertz who can score lol
  
  3
I had cleared my memory of this hideous kit.

3
- What kit?
  
  2
Why is Eddie pressing like he's played 86 minutes of football?

3
It ain't easy, heart attack fc

3
Yeaah no headed goals in this club, only bangers

3
- Doesn't help that Havertz isn't on the field tbf

KAI HAVERTZ SCORES AGAIN

3
Saka - > Martin - > Zina - > Nelli - > dead counter

3
- How many times have I seen this happen
  
  2
  
  It's weird how Martinelli isn't quite that good at counters. Especially given his pace and stuff. The Liverpool one last season comes to mind with the overhit pass.
  
  2
La la la been here the whole time. Yup. 🙃

3
Get fucked

2
For all the top notch attacking players we have, we really lack attacking threat in some games. We definitely need a striker of some sort, but I'm not sure who.

2
Odegaard has barely been involved thus far

2
Eddie, do your thing

2
- their defence is in trouble
  
  5
Ramsdale...

2
He tried to score with his hips there???

2
PASS THE BALL!!!

2
That's better from Ramsdale.

2
Only just noticed Tomi starts today, problems with the tiny screen XD

2
- Guess Benny not fully ready yet.
  
  3
Another Trossard by the post header

2
Can't listen but I see they're already doing the Raya Ramsdale nonsense

2
Half an hour added time

2
Fuck this

2
Whew that pass, imagine if Trossard scores there

2
Feel like a pass to Ramsdale would've prevented this set piece, but we'll see

2
- Idk if I'm hallucinating but it feels the lads didn't want to pass to Ramsdale during that play
  
  2
Tross is boss

2
Frustrating team to break down

2
Whew, that was close

2
Doesn't help that the Brentford fans are chanting, "You're just a shit David Raya".

2
Eddie still riding his hat trick high

2
Been a while since I've felt bored with a men's team Arsenal game. This might be it.

1
- @Astrealix do you think at such time fancy continental managers such as Thomas Frank regret coming to the Premier League to employ the exciting complex plan of keeping a low block and “avin’ a go on the countah”
  
  3
  
  Idk lol. Bring back Big Sam eh?
  
  1
- LOL, I went to take the dog for a walk, figured the last 15 mins would be uneventful......
  
  2
  
  tsimina mina :)

WHO'S ON TOP OF THE PREMIER LEAGUE

1
Other than the glaring mistake early on, Ramsdale's been good today.

1
Yeah that should be a corner. refs..

1
Modern goalkeeping is confusing.

1
Yeah I think that confirms that we are heart attack FC in goal now btw, definitely tactical

1
- Arsenal men's 🤝 Arsenal women's
  Terrifying goalkeeping
  
  2
There's been no advantage to delaying corners.

1
Ooo not bad from Jesus

1
being able to listen now, will they shut the fuck up about Ramsdale already

1
Ramsdale, oooooof

1
TROSSARDDDD

1
Goal disallowed

1
WHY DO WE STILL NOT HAVE DECENT CAMERAS FFS

1
- Yeah, that was probably offside, but like, can we have a camera that actually shows it? or like, do the semi-auto thing.
  
  2
  
  do the semi-auto thing or maybe - stick to their standards for what is a clear and obvious error. This mm shit is ridiculous
  
  3
Odegaard you madman

1
Neal fucking Maupay is among the subs i cannot believe

1
- I think Spain's going to win the World Cup in a few years.
  
  2
Just fell dramatically and got Nelli the booking. Fantastic.

1
Gabriel ?? lol

1
- Edit: I'm struggling today lol.
  
  Zinchenko you mad man! What a pass!!!!!!
  
  1
Good from Rams that

1
I am so tired of corners between Jonas and Mikel ngl.

1
Classic Nketiah counter

1
WHAT A BLOCK

1
- Lads I think we should put Zinny in goal /j
  
  1
Odegaard and his sideways passing 😴

1
- Kai should have replaced him
  
  1
3 minutes too early to bring on Reiss
