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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Now, I'll shut up about Kai Havertz for another 2 months.
WAKA WAKA EY EY TSIMINA MINA EY EY SIXTY MILLION DOWN THE DRAIN KAI HAVERTZ SCORES AGAIN
ngl watching our games hasn't been fun for a while

If it doesn't win us titles, it's going to be an awfully and frustratingly empty feeling in May
Maupay getting ready oh my days
KAI MY FUCKING MAN
WE'RE TOP OF THE LEAGUE!
~~Last minute ~~ Top of the League FC!!!!
now we just need to beat Chelsea under a fully sold-out Emirates to restore parity amongst the two teams :)
Holy shit Ramsdale, Rice saved your ass there
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
But also that was quite atrocious and we got super lucky there
Hai Kavertz scores outlr Left back has scomred looollll
The sheer cringe listening to seven nation army at a ground in this day and age
He couldn't do a cutback there?
Would like to see an early change to shake things up a little. Things seem stale at the moment.
Havertz and Nelson imo
Yup. Hopefully we get that German LB Havertz who can score lol
La la la been here the whole time. Yup. 🙃
KAI HAVERTZ SCORES AGAIN
Saka - > Martin - > Zina - > Nelli - > dead counter
How many times have I seen this happen

Yeaah no headed goals in this club, only bangers
Doesn't help that Havertz isn't on the field tbf
I can feel him getting crushed mentally
Doesn't make that kinda mistake if he had the confidence tbh
It ain't easy, heart attack fc
A classic Nketiah header
I had cleared my memory of this hideous kit.
What kit?
KAI!!!
Why is Eddie pressing like he's played 86 minutes of football?
So they started a back 5 so they can double up on whoever tries to run in on the right flank
Get fucked
Another Trossard by the post header
Tross is boss
Only just noticed Tomi starts today, problems with the tiny screen XD
Guess Benny not fully ready yet.
Feel like a pass to Ramsdale would've prevented this set piece, but we'll see
Idk if I'm hallucinating but it feels the lads didn't want to pass to Ramsdale during that play
Can't listen but I see they're already doing the Raya Ramsdale nonsense
Whew that pass, imagine if Trossard scores there
Ramsdale...
Frustrating team to break down
Eddie, do your thing
their defence is in trouble
Whew, that was close
Doesn't help that the Brentford fans are chanting, "You're just a shit David Raya".
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.
Fuck this
WHY DO WE STILL NOT HAVE DECENT CAMERAS FFS
Yeah, that was probably offside, but like, can we have a camera that actually shows it? or like, do the semi-auto thing.
do the semi-auto thing or maybe - stick to their standards for what is a clear and obvious error. This mm shit is ridiculous
Clear and obvious doesn't apply to offside, only subjective fouls
PASS THE BALL!!!
Eddie still riding his hat trick high
Odegaard has barely been involved thus far
That's better from Ramsdale.
Half an hour added time
He tried to score with his hips there???
Ramsdale, oooooof
There's been no advantage to delaying corners.
Yeah I think that confirms that we are heart attack FC in goal now btw, definitely tactical
Arsenal men's 🤝 Arsenal women's
Terrifying goalkeeping
Goal disallowed
Other than the glaring mistake early on, Ramsdale's been good today.
Ooo not bad from Jesus
Odegaard and his sideways passing 😴
Kai should have replaced him
3 minutes too early to bring on Reiss
being able to listen now, will they shut the fuck up about Ramsdale already
Gabriel ?? lol
Edit: I'm struggling today lol.
Zinchenko you mad man! What a pass!!!!!!
I am so tired of corners between Jonas and Mikel ngl.
Just fell dramatically and got Nelli the booking. Fantastic.
WHAT A BLOCK
Lads I think we should put Zinny in goal /j
Modern goalkeeping is confusing.
Been a while since I've felt bored with a men's team Arsenal game. This might be it.
Idk lol. Bring back Big Sam eh?
LOL, I went to take the dog for a walk, figured the last 15 mins would be uneventful......
tsimina mina :)
Tsimina mina
TROSSARDDDD
Odegaard you madman
Classic Nketiah counter
WHO'S ON TOP OF THE PREMIER LEAGUE
Neal fucking Maupay is among the subs i cannot believe
I think Spain's going to win the World Cup in a few years.
Yeah that should be a corner. refs..
Good from Rams that
