Its amazing what you can do when you have someone upfront who challenges and wins the occasional header and who’s second touch is ‘t usually a tackle. Also, make no mistake, Calafiori is an attacking sub.

Rice must be shagged, not that he’s had many dead balls, but the 2 tonight have been terrible.

Go long, lose ball. Invite pressure. I’ve seen how this plays out.

Finally remembered he can book Brighton players!

Can Arsenal please turn up in the 2nd half. I’d like that very much.

Was Gonez booked then?

Dull prick trying to force a booking boots the ball against his own player then complains.

Can string more than a handful of passes together and not getting close to any of these second balls.

Thinking of @tim-stillman.bsky.social as I watch The Simpsons Halloween Special 13, making my way through all The Simpsons with the youngest child. No idea how my memory retains some of this shit though, I must have forgotten so much useful information retaining Simpson quotes and episodes

Something is not right with this team. Arteta has a big job to do here to turn this around and he needs to do it quickly.

Pathetic.

This crazy inability to win a second ball or retain possession is infuriating.

Heres hoping Saka does more on the right than he did in the middle. Goal aside he was pretty anonymous.

Not sure who’s on comms, but wish I had a £ for everytime this eejit mentions how rare it is for the bottom team to beat the top team in the PL!

This ‘contact’ justifies a freekick, but the contact on Hincapié doesn’t?

Not sure how that isn’t a penalty, but that aside. Should have done a lot more after a strong start.

Feels like Tierney is starting to let the crowd ref this. Need to reup the pressure and shut them up.

That Arsenal track top 😍

Based on that lineup I would very much like to see a fast start, wrap it up by half time and swap out Rice/Zubi for Eze. Would very much like to see Eze & Saka in that half space with those three in front of them. That also needs Wolves to play higher than I’d expect them to as well so ….

Ref has had an absolute shocker there.

Terrible performace. Something needs to change and fast. 15 mins aside, didn’t have a foot in that game, nothing going forward. Timber needs to be sat down, he looks shot.

Rice is raging. Quite rightly. Only player to come out of this with any credibility.

Not had a sniff at goal since the equaliser. Why so bad at this.

Cant score if you don’t shoot. Got 20 mins to win this give or take. Someone needs to do something.

Looks like some shouting happened at half time.

Referee not great, but stop giving him decisions to make by losing the ball cheaply. Incredibly incoherent.

Bit of a pathetic showing this far.

Martinelli earned the right to take that shot at the end, but if he outs that across the box theres a hat-trick there for Gyok.

Anyways, didn’t matter 😁

I’ll be honest, Saliba celebrating when Kepa caught that cross gave the fear.

Big Viks first touch is so good his second touch is usually a tackle.

Dixon amazed at Chelseas innovation: running players out from a corner. Got to love Wrighty at half time, pointing out at least three other teams that have tried that this season 🤣

I fecking hate Leeds, so this is great.

Fucking commentator, maybe Hutchinson?, willing for Timber to be sent off here.

If Gyok doesn’t score that I think thats a penalty.

I suppose, you’ve got to create the chances to be able miss them all at least.

Reasonably impressed with Madueke tracking back this eve. His end product leaves a lot to be desired. Also, come to the conclusion I don’t really like the RB playing/standing in the right half space.

Watching the Havertz goal. My guy feeling, VAR in the EPL would have called that back for a foul on the defender by Gyok.

Does mean The Arsenal finish 1st now irrespective of the Kairat game?

VAR?!?!? What the actual feck.

Not a fan of Citeh, but why the fuck is this getting a VAR check for offside. Ridiculous.

This. In real time he’s just doing something that players do in week out.

Hindsight condescension is beautiful. In real time Martinelli drops the ball, it hits Bradley, he apologies. Notices Bradley rolling back onto the pitch as he rolls around, tries to push him off. At this point Martinelli has no idea if the guys is hurt or, as is often the case, feigning injury.

That header back from Timber. No one in the box 🤷‍♂️

Whats the last car(s) you stopped to take a photo of?

The poor passing under zero pressure here is astounding

Wouldn’t mind seeing Madueke and Martinelli now.

Another win, back to the top & it’s still not good enough? Will obviously feel amazing if we win something but the building narrative of the last few years is suffocating & the relatively unfair pressure on this group of players (& the fans) is sucking a lot of the joy out of the journey.

Another weird one. Win never in doubt until it was, but even then I’m not sure it ever was, but thats post-result analysis. When this attack clicks, someone is getting smashed.

Watching National Lampoons Christmas for probably the first time as an adult. Still brilliant, but a lot more appreciation for Beverly D’Angelo, her expression makes some of these scenes.
