Declan Rice changed my life
Flekkin doesn’t inspire me very much. He does a lot of strange things under no pressure that don’t get punished
Send Chelsea another 65m tbh, they’ll waste it anyway.
King Kai, my big fackin German😋😋😋
Rice and saliba are unreal
So envious watching an actually organized defence with a world class midfielder protecting it.
So rough for Brentford. Lost a lead at Old Trafford on stoppage time and now this
Need to improve creativity wise. This Odegaard slump isn’t helping, but we are good at controlling games and good defensively. Also I beg our keeps become more confident
Think every Arsenal fan right now would love if our keepers were more confident but I honestly don’t blame them when they’ve got Arteta playing mind games with both of them
I can actually excuse this game. He’s coming back from a long injury, so it can’t be expected that after 1 game, and maybe 1 practice, he’s back to his usual standards. We need to give him a bit of time IMO.
Big Ø will be back to his usual excellence in no time.
aresregole win legue
I forgot to add, fucking well done Brentford. You guys were compact, organized and ready to spring a counter on us. Respect for the game plan and executing it well. Gotta give respect to them for making it a painful watch.
This lot nearly always brings a fight. Well run club, respect
Boys made it happen somehow.
This is the Arsenal that I’ve come to appreciate and watch the game until the end of the game. I don’t turn it off the game anymore…even that shitty 1-0 win against city.
Ghoddos worked his ass off for 90 minutes. Shame the slip-up led to a goal. Tough to play out of position against a great team
Didn’t manage to watch, where was he playing? Has he been covering RB since Henry is out?
Cleansheet with ramsdale “thrilling moment” every match or 1 goal conceded with raya every match???
I would take as much as “thrilling moments” as long as it doesn’t end up a goal lol.
Like asking if you’d rather win a tenner or get kicked in the bollocks that haha
I like the pain
Clean sheets all day every day, but Rambo thrilling moments today were a combo of rust, anxiety, nerves. Not saying he doesn’t have these moments but today was amplified by those factors.
He didnt have to make any saves? I reckon if Brentford got a serious opportunity theyd have scored. Ramsdale showed why Raya starts today
Arsenal’s season in a microcosm… relatively comfortable in defence and seemingly incapable of scoring… but they somehow manage a goal.
Rice was fantastic, and apart from his mistake (which he promptly made up for), I thought Zinchenko played very well today. Tough game, not a good performance, but a very good win. Happy for Kai.
