Arsenal (H) | Post Match Thread

Arsenal simply had no answer to our intensity and pressing last night and in the first half we just blew them away. That was a vital win and gives us a bit of wriggle room bearing in mind we still have Brentford and Brighton to play, but the way we are performing I wouldn't put it past this team to win all our remaining PL games.

Too true. The tinkering worked so well. Akanji left back had saka out of the match, great doubling up and hard work from Jack too. A formation that looked like 3223 at times totally flummoxed Arsenal. Bringing walker back in not Laporte. Benching a hat trick hero. Getting Haaland to drop deeper. Kev playing higher up. Incredible. Arsenal champions elect for months had no answer.
 
How the fuck did we get Ekanji for £15m, Saka who was being touted as player of the year hardly got a kick. Starting Walker was a masterstroke as Martenelli never got in the game, those two made it an easy night for Ruben and gave Stones plenty of licence to step into midfield and help Rodri stifle Odegaard, which meant Arsenal had only two shots on target.

I was also impressed with Jacks willingness to double up on Saka, Bernardo did the same with Martenelli, the energy those two showed summed up our performance. Rodri and Gundo bossed the middle of the park and you could see the frustrations of Partey and Xhaka. That dominance meant Jesus was anonymous and gave us the platform to hit Haaland who now looks more and more like an old fashioned target man. The way he bullied Holding was astonishing and his use of the ball was superb, two assists for the big fella and Kev took them both like only Kev does, genius. It was interesting we played Kev almost as a second striker off Haaland it worked they scared the Arsenal back four to death and Haaland got his goal as well.

The treble is now on big time and the only team who can stop us is ourselves. If we carry on playing as we did last night we win the lot.
