I think the number 9 in football is on its last legs. Ever since the false 9 was invented, when you have a great false 9, the cohesion and fluidity it allows can be more effective than having a 30 goal a season striker.

A 50 goal a season striker, however, there will always be room for.

I wonder how Lampard would have done as a false 9 in a Pep team. My guess is he’d have scored hundreds of goals.

Good points. I think Lampard though was aided significantly by Drogbas presence. Lampard was superb at arriving late with the cb already deep. Still would have scored loads though

@Chris in London has defected to the Tarquin's!

Arsenal’s corners are fantastic. The delivery of them.

Saliba just hoofed the ball way, no booking ?

Keep winding them up Brentford.

This is unsustainable for Brentford. They have to get a foothold here or its inevitable they concede.

Saliba has just leathered the ball 50 yards to stop Brentford taking a free kick. That's a yellow ffs.

Just keep winding the arsenal players up. A couple of reds before they play us would be great.

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Ref has to be strong here.

Love it how these refs don't apply the rules when the red cartel clubs play.
Should be a booking for Gabriel.
