The numbers don’t support your argument against arsenal. I think deep down Mikel has devised a new formula to stop city and the league has followed suit. He’s a bonafide genius if he gets it over the line.

You can see where Kai came on the difference in control! Need him for the big games now

Obviously with the caveat of not knowing the inside info but on the basis of not being in red zone, I’d start the main guys in league and rotate in cups (including next week’s champs league)

Just think we should be getting a bit more leeway in these games by the attack scoring. Only trossard been on a run this season. Someone surely has to come good soon. Hoping odegard and/or Kai regularly back helps saka reach his levels.

This isn’t aimed at you btw. Just feel we’re wasting the opportunity of making a difference. Fans can

We’ve got 7-8 home games left. We may not win the league but imagine if we do. The team are struggling atm. Where are the fans? We’re wasting our time with anxiety in the stadium. Draw conclusions when it’s over but atm we need all out support

I know it’s too much but can’t remember a 17 year old with the bang bang output of Ethan in the prem last season since Rooney. I believe he can become the starter for us in next couple of seasons.

Taking down the national media for the arse. Top work!

I just think we need to try and sort the attack and gyok isn’t working and that needs changing. I don’t think he helps saka either and we need saka at the level for the run in.

I’m hoping he looks much more himself with kai up top.

I’m hoping Berta can flip him. I think eyes are on him for pushing that signing. Our recruitment been excellent overall for years: just a shame we can’t seem able to nail down the striker! I may be mad but wouldn’t mind mateta. Physically able and brought the best out of eze.

I agree re benching him and not giving up with him. Just think it’s clear he’s not anywhere near the level atm.

And I know city have gone outside the rules to get where they are but on the pitch they are unbelievably serious about winning. I think we’re in such a good position we can make the change up top now and don’t need to try and get value from gyok’s signing (he’s not at the level in this system)

Eze got elite finishing ability. We’ve seen it for us and palace. Love a way to unlock it. Part of me clings to Kai unlocking saka and potentially eze. We’re in a great position but got to call it on gyok imo. He could maybe do with a sub role for a bit anyway.

Gyok is the big problem. Unless there’s confidence in Kai being fit enough for the run in in prem (I’d save him for that and champs league knock outs) then I’d be tempted to do something in Jan. Even if it is a loan. Need something else up top. This season it’s there for us and got to get it done

I think with a game at home to khairat to finish we’re basically guaranteed top 2 even if all results go against us in UCL this week. I’d rest those who need it against Inter (timber, rice, Zubi etc)

Time to take him out the firing line imo. Apart from what he lacks overall he’s lacking confidence badly atm too.

Thanks for being an amazing voice for the arsenal where there are many online who embarrass us!

From the loving majority

Attack has not clicked yet. We’ll need it to and really in the next few weeks. Defence is at the level needed and attack needs to get there soon.

Should be over

And I refuse to watch that clip of Howard Webb!

Fucking excellent win. They defend so well. I love set pieces

Gabriel was lucky there! Thank goodness

0.00xg after 30 minutes is a problem when wanting to seriously challenge for the league in any game imo. Still a win next week (not easy but let’s go for it) and 13 from that opening games is very decent

Both good options :)

Dave I owe you a beer. Consider me very happy. Thanks for a decent arsenal voice in the discourse. We’re lucky to have a good few in the arsenal fanbase

I don’t think we can conclude this summer and spend over £200m without solving the 3 priority positions; however good the squad filling has been. Still early days ;)

I think he will too btw. He’s raised the standards and has confidence of the players.

If we’re properly competitive and fun, I’m all in whether we win the title or not. I would feel quite a bit less forgivable if we don’t add more to our forward line before the window closes and remain stodgy. I think we need Eze and, if we get him, Mikel has to deliver better football
