Lefty Arsenal Fan. Very much a stereotype
Would have been a good game to play Noni on the left to give a bit of balance

Disappointed in MLS. He got skinned early on and it looked like his head dropped straight away. Obviously he’s young, and not had much game time - but he’s a shadow of the confident beast he was last season
Still - take the point and move on.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see Timber sit in and Hincapie or Saliba be the marauding defender on occasion
Let’s just hope they all have fun

It feel like it’s a bit of a ‘sink or swim’ opportunity, kinda ruthless but a very ‘big team’ move we wouldn’t/couldn’t do previously
Kiwior was likely to go, we needed to replace his positional cover in the squad - go get someone who’s better, let everyone fight it out, and may the best man win

Without Big Gabi being a monster in the box, I feel like the far post flick back across the goal could be something exploit
Worth a punt on a Timber assist 👀

Was secretly hoping for Saka RW, but I agree with the sentiment

Yeah I’m glad we’re happier to try and overload one side a low block far earlier on during games

#arsecastextra how much was this game a ‘fuck off’ win and punch on pep’s nose? And do you feel weird that this win doesn’t seem seismic?

Brugge take the lead with 1:15 left of the first half against Manchester City. Timing.

I would if we’re willing to spend a similar amount on the medical sign-off

I don’t think we’ll play with this front 5 most weeks. Only home game against ultra defensive sides
Whilst we are admittedly thin in that area, I’d expect Merino and Rice to play L8 now that we have some defenders back to fitness. That then means we should have one first team attacker on the bench

Watching from home it was such a mature performance. As good as Mikel could have expected
Start fast, shock and overwhelm them, kill the crowd then see it through with minimal fuss
