One word. Gabriel. Partey, enough said. Special mention to Mo Elneny for the work rate he put in. Certainly he and Partey have some serious engines such that even at the tail end Elneny was still pressing high up pushing manu back to their own goal. Like someone said, we have really suffered from poor defenders for so long. Can't wait to see Pablo Mari back in that defense line albeit he is left footed too.

How would you rate Mari? Is he really that good?

Better cool your horses. All of you saying you don't want to see Xhaka, Ceballos or whomever in that team should remember we still have close to probably 40 games to play this season. Every body will have their opportunity, how you they use it is left to them.

up until the injury he suffered. IMHO he was a very decent ball playing defender and makes the right pass into midfield. I do not think he is as physical as Gabriel but he reads the game very well ah la Per Mertasacker. Honestly I think the recruiting in defense has been good enough. It's now how we transition into making them play as a unit

I’ve always said Xhaka is good as a squad player. All those yarning they don’t want him anywhere in the squad are just being over excited. Xhaka has his good days.

Bellerin has been putting up good performance since he started tucking in.

Mike Dean had the same number of interceptions as the whole united midfielders.

Are you for real??

Jodera:

Yes. .i think he intercepted our pass twice yesterday.

Yea, you are right. I am just concerned about his pace.

Yeah, we all know that. But with what happened ystdy and Arteta still sticking to his 3-man defence, the partey-elneny should be the base midfielders. The other midfielders can come on when anyone is injured or to give any of those 2 a breather.

But for now, Arteta shouldn't touch those two in starting line ups

I know he intercepted our pass twice. I mean, the man utd 4 midfielders couldn't get more than 1 interception?

I just they swear for dean

He tried sef. At least on one of the interceptions, he stopped the game and gave the ball to arsenal to continue.

First time I'm seeing that

Ah...
If he didn't give that pk, I believe(faintly tho) that var might have called it.

But the 2nd yellow for Gabriel, I was damn surprised he forgave him. E shock me sef

Dean way like pk and red card pass anything

kokaneprodigy:
Spy will tell you a DMs job is to play sideway passes, Partey must be a terrible DM

CM actually. It wasn't obvious because we had two CMs in a double pivot. Both were on the ascendancy we made them make a lot of forward passes. They still made plenty side way passes but enough forward passes to make you happy.

You are right. Players also tend to improve due to who they are competing with.

Those side way passes they made was borne out of necessity than norm. Even elneny beat his man to make forward passes sef. Something xhaka and guen hardly does.

The way elneny played ystdy was the exact way I want my cm to always play in arsenal. Give first time, forward passes, through passes, drive with the ball and to create space, then pass and if no way forward, back/side pass.

We're not against side pass, but wen side passes becomes the norm instead of emergency, then it kills the team flow and attack.

iamoyindamola:

sha, him no say that red card on Gabriel might be harsh.
Kudos to him for being lenient.

If Arsenal can be serious and go for Dominik Szobolozlai of RB Salzburg this January.
We would increase our chances of sneaking into the top four.
But knowing Arsenal, that will never happen.

I'm hearing good reviews about that guy.
I don't know him well sha.

I just hope Arteta and edu makes the right call on The Am position as they got Gabriel without much fan fare and hype

OTD yesterday......Nov 1st, 2020, Mike Dean bone face point for Arsenal for the Pierre to Partey. What tha Hector!!

Calm down on the Xhaka talk abeg. Its to early. Someone tweeted that final, Elneny has seen that forward passes aren't Haram.



Isco is on an EPL move sturv, so i hear. It would be very devastating for him to goan add more firepower to Baba Carlo's Toffees. Arsenal should hope on. He's better than Aouar, esp with the style of play by Arteta.


Pogba will start avoiding Man Utd box 18 based on what he said Yesternight.


Who else noticed that between Emery and Arteta, whenever we make a defensive change when leading, we've never lost that match?!!

My bro said Arteta might either take Arsenal to Glory and then port off to Barca, or Stay at Arsenal forever.
