Throwing Eze in the midfield here would have been madness. I’m happy Merino is starting. Not confident still but let’s have it!

I am very confused by the signing of Gyökeres and the news of Isak/Sesko wanting moves. Surely we were informed on these, so why choose Gyökeres? Has to be another big attacking addition coming or it doesn’t make any sense

Maybe we should just swoop in for Ekitike to ensure Liverpool don’t get their hands on Isak. I would honestly cry, Isak is my guy I can’t have him playing for Liverpool..

Nothing fancy just utterly taking the piss

Second goal from Palmer yesterday is one of the nastiest goals I’ve seen in a while.

Only possible issue that’s reasonable w.r.t. this transfer is whether it’s gonna make us miss out on signing someone in another, more urgent, position. Otherwise I’m really happy we finally have some back up for Saka.

We’re highkey cooking.

I’m not gonna be ecstatic about the signing, but it’s sure as hell better than not signing a striker at all this summer if that’s the alternative.

I’m quite skeptical of Gyökeres’ fit for Arsenal. However, I do think some people are making it seem like his only quality is running the channel or on the transition. I personally think he’s an animal at finding space in the box for passes along the ground, something we currently miss desperately.

Can’t believe it…

He really can whack them can’t he

Can’t believe Simon Hopper gets paid to stroll around the pitch for 45 minutes without making fuck all decisions either way..

On the other hand, this is a guy who would be on the end of every low cross from Saka which might be enough tbh.

I would love to be proven wrong, but I really don’t think Gyökeres is the right fit for Arsenal.

Also what’s ironic is that if we switch Merino for Joao Neves I’m pretty sure we win comfortably yesterday. We’re so close to being unplayable but we still lack that last bit of individual quality.

Yep. Not seen our press get nullified like that in forever. Still one game to go, we can do it.

Turns out Real Madrid has a lot of class, when they’re winning..

Respectfully, hold that.

Bellingham most protected player in the game. Should have had a yellow 3 fouls ago.

Maybe that’s enough of 4am games for me, a heart rate this high at this time cannot be healthy.

That might be the greatest Arsenal game I’ve ever seen.

I WOKE UP AT 4AM FOR THIS AND NO REGRETS 🔥

Let’s gooo

I’m really about to get up at 3:45am over here in Japan for tonights game am I not..

Oh my Isak really sent VVD there huh

That and Rice finally taking a free kick

How Cucurella has not been booked for his behaviour towards the linesman this half is everything that is wrong with these refs. How do you let him treat your colleague like that?

Nwaneri on the bench you know…

Expect to see a rule change re. the Alvarez situation shortly after this.

What an anti-climax.
