Arteta's long suffering jellied eels v Eddie's Stottie fuelled northern raiders (- Gemmill + Trips, massive net gain tbh)

[Dougle 3835]

On balance of play we are the superior side here like. Bearing in mind we are away from home too. In a surprisingly buoyant Arsenal ground (what the fuck is it called again?).

Tbf, Burn has dealt with Saka well since that early scare. I thought he could be in for a tortuous evening after he skinned him in the first minute but it hasn’t happened since.

With the help of the players around him. ASM would still be on the halfway moaning about a Greek God not using his power up

[Christmas Tree 5347]

ASM to win it.

[Ayatollah Hermione 15091]

We’re doing a good job at cutting the supply off to Odegaard and Saka tbf. Helps that we’ve been canny cynical with Saka when he tries to break as well

Or they would be shitting themselves with some actual threat from us.

[Craig 7337]

We’re frustrating the hell out of them and we’ve had the better chance, but their quality of passing has been considerably better. We haven’t been the ‘superior side’.

Yep, the work Willock has put in to nullify the threat is largely going unnoticed. No way that’d come from ASM.

Just had a look on SMB to get an unbiased view of our game😏 two comments stand out

 

Don't care if they're 3rd in the Prem, if this is how they play we're a much better side to watch

 

 

Barcodes are proper shite & dirty. At full strength, on our day I'd back us to beat them

If you asked me to choose between watching them every week and watching CT have a shite twice a week, I'd have a decision to make.

That’s a bit of a stretch. We’ve defended competently but we haven’t been the better side by any stretch of the imagination.

safety first at the league leaders naming a team which is unbeaten in 12. it’s working so far. In Eddie we trust. 

[Chaser 1432]

We've been pretty wasteful with the ball and sloppier than usual. Wilson hasn't been effective at all up top, although he has had slim pickings.

Get him a season ticket and your need to make a decision is gone. 

[MMXXVIII 1296]

Apart from a few ricochets early on I haven't felt threatened at all. Second half Botman to put Nketiah so far up a height that his surname makes sense when he lands, set the tone then we take the points.

That Saliba is a quality centre half like. Keeping Wilson quiet by himself

Aye and he knew what he was doing when Wilson got booked. The grin afterwards told you everything.

Xhaxha should be off

Next foul he is

[Craig 7337]

Xhaka won’t see the final whistle. I expect he’ll be subbed rather than sent off though. Arteta isn’t stupid

They're wound up to fuck.

[wykikitoon 23736]

Started better this half

[Dr Gloom 24254]

Hell of a run and ball in from Miggy. Wilson could have done better
