Liverpool’s front office gets cited as the gold standard all the time, but I’d argue there’s been no better recruitment over the past 5 years than Arsenal’s.

89 point pace and a 5 point lead with Old Trafford, Anfield, a City game, St. James Park, and Stamford Bridge behind us with the injuries we’ve had is something to be optimistic about!

In a 38 game season, you’re going to have 3-4 games where your entire team plays like shit. Today was one of those days, which will almost always result in a loss if you’re away against the 3rd best team in the league. So I’ll take the point.

I, for one, will absolutely take a road draw against Chelsea without Saliba and Gabriel.

Hopefully that’s right! I’d say it’s a good sign when you have one of those total off games and it turns into a draw at Stamford Bridge.

Odegaard through balls onto two fresh, lightning fast wingers in Martinelli and Noni for the last 30 minutes is borderline unfair

I think there’s quite a gulf between their fullback group and the Timber, White, Calafiori, MLS, Hincapie group, but they’re certainly one of the better sets of fullbacks in the league.
