G+A/90 (all competitions) Martinelli .84 Trossard .71 Jesus .71 Gyökeres .58 Saka .51 Merino .43 Madueke .43 Eze .42 Rice .38 Ødegaard .33 Gabriel .32

If Kai recovers well after today, he could sub late at Leeds and perhaps start the Carabao semi on Tuesday against Chelsea. At either striker or in midfield.

We’re atop the PL and CL tables.. and just added Kai Havertz.

We head up to Leeds with Saka, Trossard, Rice, Zubimendi, Merino, Gabriel, Saliba and Timber all fresh and rested after not playing at all midweek. Ødegaard has played 55 and 45 the last 2 games, so he should be in a good place. 1/2

Benfica getting that goal and knocking out Marseille takes away some opportunities for Nwaneri.

The last 6 shots on target against Arsenal have all gone in.

Final 3 subs, best guess: Jesus for Gyökeres and Leo for Martinelli at 60-65’ Ibrahim for Norgaard at 75’.

So Gyökeres gets the assist on that. Goal and assist each for him and Kai.

Myles over the bar.

Wonder if the real Jorginho rubbed Calafiori the wrong way last season, like Ricci thinks he’s a fake Italian or something, and now he’s just battering this one.

Wait, Kairat has a Jorginho?

Did not have Kai STARTING on my bingo card. I was sure a ramp-up would be required there.

Come on. Kai-rat… anyone?

Beat

@scott.cannonstats.com Congrats on the new gig, mate!

Wednesday’s opponent. Right, @clivepafc.bsky.social?

To this point, the only Arsenal buy from this last summer who has met or exceeded expectations has been... Mosquera. People who were happy to see Edu go... grass ain't always greener.

29% of the goals Arsenal have conceded this season in the Premier League have come from shots from outside the box - the highest proportion of any team in the competition. #ARSMUN

We had 15 shots today - 2nd most of any team this weekend. The problem this season has not been the creation of chances but of HIGH QUALITY chances. Feels like our tactics have been figured out, because it seems like NO ONE is sharp-edged in the final third & generating consistent end product

There’s a nonzero chance Cesc Fabregas is our manager 12 months from today.

Drawing 16th-place Forest followed by conceding 3/losing at home is just a straight bottle job. Arsenal feeling the pressure and crumbling under it. The temperature of Arteta’s seat has gone up several degrees. Not sure he avoids the sack absent a major trophy. You don’t get forever.

Arsenal are bottling it. No other way to say it.

Ødegaard coming off in a “must score” situation. Arteta losing faith that the Captain can generate goals.

We’ve been shit since scoring. We’ve already whiffed on multiple chances to put the title race away. Questions about Arsenal’s mentality are becoming increasingly valid. This is Arteta’s moment to validate his being the guy to get this project over the line - or not.

We completely shut off after scoring.

Lisandro is the OG.

Drink if you see Raya.

If Tim Walz responds with “Nuts!”, I will devote my life to campaigning for him for President. Cc: @homeathighbury.bsky.social @supplyanddemandrew.bsky.social

11th place Everton is only 3 points out of a Champions League spot.

The world should not come here. There should not be a World Cup here. I spoke out against the last World Cup because of concerns I had about human rights violations and it’s only right that I express the same concerns and condemnations now.

It's now time for Tim Walz to have the National Guard kick ICE out of Minnesota.

Jason Sudeikis and Thierry Henry taking in the London Derby at Stamford Bridge 👏

So, he will not entertain any Mathys Tel overtures.

If we win something big, I think Leo and Norgaard move on after this season, but that will not recoup much money. To this point there is no indication that Martinelli is the least bit interested in leaving. To finance an Alvarez move probably requires a significant sale - probably MLS.

One of the worst people ever is about to leave this earth. It cannot come soon enough.

Today's match was played fairly evenly - possession, shots and shots on target were near equal. Arsenal got some better chances and rightfully won. But the fact is, we didn't "dominate" this match any more than the last two 0-0 draws. It just felt different because Inter came out and played us.

How about we keep Nwaneri here and loan Eze to Marseille?

The last 3 teams not to bunker in on us - Villa, Chelsea and Inter - we scored 4, 3, and 3. That’s why teams do it. If a PL side wants to pack everyone into the box and not worry about trying to score themselves, it’s very hard to get goals.

Kai must really not be where they want him, physically. Which means he’s a LONG was from starting.

This Esposito guy is a menace.

A bit more basketball-ish than I’m sure Mikel prefers. But it’s fun to watch some actual football, not the increasingly turgid PL game.

Lautaro basically just kicked Leo on purpose. There were two players between him and the ball and he just took whack anyway.

Going to be really funny when Kai comes off the bench and scores, too.

He is risen.

That’ll tamp down the Gyökeres talk.

Am I the only person who finds Fernando Mendoza irritating in a very Tim Tebow kind of way? Not that you think he's a "bad" guy. Just annoying and maybe kind of fake.

Arsenal haven't allowed their opponents a shot on target in the last two matches and yet have taken just two points from a possible six. Wasted opportunities. #NFOARS

If we had given Saka 30 mins midweek and 90 today I think we get the result

Eze for either Zubimendi or Timber.
