Brilliant response in the 2nd half and to Wednesday. Tell Eze we're playing Spurs every week, please, and by some distance that was Viktor Gyokeres' best game for Arsenal: 2 goals + solid all round play.
Raya's save was absolutely brilliant & very timely, but 3 points won in exactly the right way
on top in every single metric. Got to make it count.
Hincapie has been solid, can't ask much more of him. Zubimendi? I like how you conveniently left him off your list completely. He's been critical to getting us in this position in the first place.
be a bumpy ride down there tonight thanks to Goretti
nah I think that's harsh mate. This team doesn't play to his strengths, that's no slight on him or Arteta
he had time to hold the ball up and switch it mind, rather than taking on 2 defenders
cc @footballcliches.bsky.social. Hundreds of clips of world class finishes and individual skill at risk of becoming unwatchably pixelated as we speak
100%, it'd be sad if either got punished really, it's high stakes, high jeopardy racing even if it definitely was pushing limits
it's Calafiori, you can shove your clickbait
aye I think so too. Although right now they'll be enjoying this and you can't blame them!
tbf to them they are on a hot streak right now and winning this has given them a legit claim to be in the title race. 1230 KO was annoying but don't think we can blame that, we've not used players sensibly over the last calendar year really
really messy end to the game. Missing Gabriel and Saliba big time, even if Hincapie was ok today. Calafiori looked knackered and should have come off much sooner. Everyone was half a yard too slow today, kudos to Villa
decent. At times would've liked a bit more ambition going forward by ultimately it didn't matter. Always in control, aside from Raya bring forced into that save anyway.
Gyokeres goal would be perfect, he and Madueke have been quiet really.
he's definitely been harsh. I'd have liked to see a bit more ambition before the goal though, but who cares right now
if somehow we nick the 3 points here, he's got to be man of the match
would have quite liked to see Gyokeres stay on with Madueke, even if for 5-10 mins
football fans in general have just become too obsessed with other clubs
I love Saliba, but feels like in games v PSG and R Madrid too he's given the ball away a few times at critical moments
got to be that bit more clinical. There was a moment where it felt Iike the world was screaming for Ødegaard to shoot just inside the D, but he laid it off to Martinelli who was short on any real options
Fantastic energy & boldness from Arsenal early on in that 1st half. Pressing great too, but we just couldn't take our chances.
Any loose pass or hesitation is being ruthlessly exploited by PSG though. At 2-0 down, having to be aggressive, we cannot afford any more mistakes.
actually sad watching Sterling. Think his top level days are over, probably a byproduct of so many games at such a young age. Something we need to consider with Saka, MLS etc
fair enough, I was nitpicking really
driver of the day today, excellent performance 🫡
did we overreact to United's Lyon 'remontada'? Will Athletic Bilbao make light work of them?
It was exciting yes, but indicative of their woeful season that they even got into needing such heroics in the first place.
agree to an extent, but safety though init. Imagine this track with gravel or grass where there's tarmac now. Would be dodgy af
Alaba looking like the weak link isn't he
ankle breaker that. Positive for us given how Saka had him on toast last week
very weird. Just do a normal minute's silence, no need for the cheese
Rice x2
Declan Rice scoring two of the best free-kicks you've ever seen. Arsenal fans asking Real Madrid if they are "Tottenham in disguise". What is going on
