Man of the Match Arsenal PL (H)

[Kinkys Left Foot]

Thought Mahrez, Kyle and Mendy looked good. Silva and KDB were superb. Gundogan sat in and made us tick even when they tried to rough him up with a couple of nasty tackles.
But, for an assist off SSB and a superbly taken peno and good all round display - Ginger Kev gets another.

 

[samarasra]

Leno. Raheem showed great work ethic, hopefully dawn of a purple patch.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Not at his best but by far the best on the pitch while in it, imagine how good he'd be if he tried & wanted to stay.

 

[Bill Walker]

Mendy.
Loved how he ran to applaud the crowd at final whistle.

I can only assume you're talking about Mustafi.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Mendy for me. He played in more of a containment role than he’s perhaps best suited too but Looked fit, sharp and eager to finally show us what we’ve been promised for so long. A fully fit and injury free mendy strengthens us significantly. It sounds like Peps impressed with how he’s worked to get himself ready during lockdown too given his name check post match. zinchenko has performed superbly under the circumstances but he’s not a world class left back and if mendy can stay healthy and gain some form I suspect that will become a lot clearer as we begin to miss mendy when he’s rotated.

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

Kev on another level to just about every other player on the planet this season....except Jordan Henderson of course. What a privilege to watch him play. Ably supported by Dave and Gunders. Mendy looked sharp too and a nice little cameo from Fodes toward the end. Some really good football out there considering we were supposed to be ‘rusty’

 

[waspish]

Shocked at % Gundogan has was on par with kdb for performance

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

Impressed with all of them

To come back from the lay off and play the way we did was credit to everyone

Arsenal being totally shit helped but we looked like the team which won the quadruple

Kev gets it from me but others could and would have deserved it

It was fantastic to see Kev resume where he left off before the break. He sets the standards for the whole team. His form this season has been brilliant. I honestly think he is close to being the best in the world at present given that Ronaldo and Messi are in decline.

 

[Man_City_Loyal]

Only watched the 2nd half, city were better than what i thought we would.

Hope Garcia is ok.

Did find it amusing Neville and the other bloke on commentary apparently having inside info on our players energy levels.

Which i called bullshit,

 

[stonerblue]

THe Prince, closely followed by Foden.

 

[Sky Blue]

Kev is poetry in motion. Kyle Walker is ridiculously underrated. Loved Sterling's work rate too.

KDB gets my vote.

 

[Blue Til Death]

Great marker put down by City last night, KDB looks like a racing snake, he will do untold damage in our remaining games, thought he stood out amongst some other accomplished performances..

 

[simon23]

KDB

 

[adeinchessy]

I thought KDB made the difference - again! However, it would have been interesting to see Phil Foden given more time. I thought he was brilliant when he came on.

I didn’t think I’d be that arsed about the match, given the fan free circumstances, but some of our football was glorious. Just to watch Kev gliding downfield is sufficient to give me goosebumps, never mind what he actually does with the ball. I’ve always loved sportsmen in all fields who’ve had that swashbuckling elegance. Muhammad Ali, David Duckham, John McEnroe, Alex Higgins, Johann Cruyff. Touched by God. We’ve been truly spoilt to have had 2 such individuals on the books for years (Dave and Kev)

 

[Saddleworth2]

I’m surprised Kev is running away with it. Imo it should be pretty close with a number of candidates. I thought our entire midfield was class with Gundo shading it for me. Of the front three, Raheem was aggressive all night and looked like he was coming back to form. Of the back 5 I would say the fullbacks were both standout.

Phil is my pick, even though it was a 20 minute cameo. Worked his bollocks off, tried to make things happen every time he touched the ball topped with a very good goal. The thought of him, Kev, Raheem and Kun running at a defence is mouthwatering.

 

[@BluePhil8]

Kev to win the Balon D’or within the next 3 years, only Mbappe can rival him once Messi and Ronald stop.

You're forgetting Henderson, Rashford, and whichever other Liverpool or United players are anointed in the future.
