Just keep thinking about Martin Ødegaard

Newcastle had eight shots yesterday. They've had less in just one Premier League home game since the start of 2022/23, and n that occasion they played an hour with 10 men.

Arsenal have only had Ødegaard for 40+ minutes in one of six Premier League games so far this season.

We need to stop playing Merino, too cautious

Arsenal 👍❤️

Excellent half, best we've played this season for me, best Gyökeres has been by a mile, really don't deserve to be behind.

Villa behind early? Looks like yet a other case of short-term Emery loss

Bueno? My thoughts exactly

Would love to celebrate Invincibles Day but Crystal Palace exist

Your defence is in trouble 📞

The relentlessness of this Liverpool side is to be admired. It isn't luck, it's a skill. Whether or not this stands.

There's still almost nobody in the world I'd rather watch than an in-form Julian Brandt.

You simply don't come back from a moment like this in the pouring rain.

Glasner to Man Utd when?

Harry Maguire, what are you doing?

Before it goes on the exchange. Anyone need a ticket for Olympiacos? This is the view

Pray for Karl Hein

There's such a demand to win every single game nowadays that I can't go one day without seeing something about Arsenal/Arteta, one defeat in 24 matches against 'top six' clubs, having a 'big game problem'. When framing is so exaggerated, legitimate critique loses credence.

If the players believe in the manager, the fans should as well…. Players are always the biggest indicator of where a club is going, so if new players want to come to Arsenal & existing players want to stay, it’s a massive tick in the box. Massive renewal….

Early goal in games like these, before they start to get annoying, is ideal.

Everyone looking forward to Bukayo Saka's 65 minutes at Port Vale tomorrow night?

Headline inside the paper is "Experts alarmed as Trump claims paracetamol is linked autism". Why isn't that on the front page?

Think the start of the season looks and feels so different if Kai Havertz had been fit, and it may rest on how soon he's available again. Gyökeres has looked fine in the two 'easy' home games but he's managed 0 shots against United, Liverpool, City and the goals in Bilbao came after he was subbed..

Seriously. A one-hour Party Political Broadcast. Followed at the top of the next hour with top story billing and a highlights package. Exactly how will this be "balanced" across their coverage? Where is Ofcom? Where is Nandy?

As Dortmund head coach, Edin Terzić once told the media their job is easier than his because they get to judge his decisions after the game (and thus knowing the result) whereas he has to make them before the game. I think that's a very fair point and like to remind myself of that regularly.

let’s say he doesn’t dramatically change as a player in the next 3 years from what we see now, I still think the Gyoker signing is fine if he scores against the middling sides and offers some depth. but on the evidence so far he isn’t troubling Havertz for a starting spot in the big games.

What’s great is that almost every post mortem post here hasn’t mentioned Odegaard or Havertz missing. And their absence was a BIG factor today. But very few are even pointing out those absences. That’s how good we are now, even with what was a disappointing result.

We've been a goal down at home for over 80 minutes and not created a single good chance.

A top class striker gets themself involved at some point. I don't think we have to pretend this guy is 'it' and we've completed the puzzle by signing him.

Pep Guardiola had died and been replaced by someone how has no idea how Pep Guardiola worked. It's the only explanation.

My hot take: Arsenal conceded because they were actually too eager to play on the front foot to set the tone and committed too many players to a loose ball.

Really cowardly from the ref to not give both Silva and Trossard yellows for that incident. He didn't want to deal with the fallout of one of them getting sent off for that and the other not, but no cards for either is such a cop out. #epl-live

The one time you want the ref to follow the daft 'I'll just book them both' protocol...

Not sure I'll ever be used to Arsenal being able to name a bench that looks like that.

Ach, Berlin Marathon day ❤️

How stupid do you have to be to get yourself sent off in this situation as a Manchester United player?
