You know, in the right light, Emile actually does remind me of KdB. Here's hoping he actually gets to fulfill his destiny

I'm looking forward to the View today where they try and justify Saka's kick not being a pen but this being legitimate
Rice has passed it to a hammer like 4 times this game. Should we be worried or is it just bad luck?
Soft shot after soft shot
.... Reiss
This is just comedic now
Well at least Raya gets to show off
I'm genuinely looking forward to Arteta saying that everyone had the shits or something because I don't understand why no one seems to care today
Tross is no duel winner
muh facilitator number 9
Esr hattrick in 11 minutes let's go guys
This whole attack has a right side bias
We're entertainers we don't need to win
yeah
before the match I was thinking this would be embarrassment to lose and here you go
Scoring from a cross? Nah we play classy football
Oh wow 360p footage being assessed
What's Saka's hairstyle called
Tross and Z itching to give the ball away
Oh its mikey oliver
Reiss, ESR, Zinny & Eddie are on notice. If I were Arteta, I would get rid of them in the summer transfer window. As much as I like em, they're either injury prone and or play in a boom and bust cycle. We need a dependable 9, 8 and LB/LCB combo player.
Reiss, ESR and Eddie came into a game state that never should have existed. I agree that Eddie doesn't have a place if he can't find some consistency, and ESR needs to do more to prove that his one excellent season wasn't just a flash in the pan, but this game was absolutely not it.
The three of them seemed to actually want to win the game, unlike the starting 11 in the first half. Despite all the "control" we had, we looked like passengers in our own ground. If anything, this game is a reason for any one of martinelli, Gabriel Jesus, zinchenko, even Ben white to spend some serious time back on the bench. Fuck, Declan rice this game played well but had some serious stinkers of passes.
No credit taken from west ham but our players lost this game, and it definitely wasn't the subs. If the game was 0-0 or 1-0 our way and the subs did exactly the same thing we would be praising them for staying on the front foot and having some good opportunities.
Possibly one of Odegaards best performances in an Arsenal shirt and possibly one of Jesus' worst.
I agree with you in the positions that need addressing. I have faith that this hasn't just been a purple patch for Kai and he will make the 8 his own. I think in the absence of a number 9 who can bag them, our wingers, particularly martinelli, need to figure out where they put their goalscoring boots.
Left back is a tough one. We're stacked but they're all injured. I think Zinchenko & Timber will end up being more than enough, as long as Timbers injury was just bad luck and not something that becomes ongoing.

I need ESR in for Trossard or Martinelli. The whole left side is pretty complacent especially Zinny.
