Finally got to watch the full game after sneaking a few minutes here and there at my daughter’s orchestra concert. That easily should’ve been a comfortable 4-1 victory. The team deserved a clean sheet but Zinchenko often has those errors in his game. Feels to me like the team is playing more fluidly together over the last 2 than recent weeks. Bodes well for the heavy list of holiday fixtures. On to the next boys!

Starting at home against teams like Wolves he can play, he was involved heavily in the build up for Odegaards goal and thats why he does have value. However at 2-0 up around the 60 minute mark, you just know Wolves are going to attack and push more players high up the pitch. This is where Zinchenko can get exposed, wen our defence is getting attacked more.

Simply put, if we are chasing a game, or trying to break a deadlock against a team that is sitting deep and not getting many players forward, he can invert from the left and help us break the lines. However when we are defending a lead he should be hooked. Kiwior should have come on at the 60 minute mark.

I thought we played an excellent first-half, at least until the injuries slowed down and broke up the game. We were devilishly close to getting the third goal which would have killed the game.

In the second half when they had to come forward, again we should have killed off the game. Martinelli hit the post, Trossard had one saved etc etc.

If I may be allowed two grouses they are these:

I think we took our foot off the pedal in the second half because we thought the game was won and the substitutions came too late and were ineffective.

Eddie Nketiah needs to buck up pronto. There's been a lot of love and time for him from the fans at the stadium, the manager has given him reasonable time. He could and should have got the third at 2-1 but hit the post, ok a bit unlucky. But when a player comes on well into the second half what you want from him above all is energy and pace. He was strolling around at times when he should be putting pressure on the Wolves man on the ball an his failure to do so was putting pressure on our defence. Not good.

Good to be top of the league, now let's win at Luton and see what happens after that.

Good win against a scrappy team in Wolves. We should’ve scored a third in the first half and were a bit unlucky not to.

We are so much better with Jesus and Oedegaard healthy. If Partey can get fit and Timber comes back after January, we are seriously deep at most positions. Love our squad this season. Arteta has done a fabulous job.

Saliba and especially Gabriel will be going mental towards Zinchenko in the dressing, losing our clean sheet like that was criminal ffs.

Gabriel has a pop at him as soon as they score tbf

 

[MikeVinna]

Zinny should have been off long before the Wolves goal. With the points in the bag and Benny Blanco ready to go there’s no need to risk Zinny’s fitness and errors.

Why does that ****ing mor0n Garth Crooks have to have a dig at Arsenal/Arteta in every single Team of the week article when one of our players makes the team. Such a bitter little ****, honestly. I guess we have ruined his life in a way with actual success compared to that tin pot club.

Wolves were lucky to get away with only losing by one goal.

Arsenal is the best team in the PL right now with so many talented players.

Yeah I noticed that. Proper dig at Arteta. What grips my sh1t is that our TV licence money actually pays his salary, shouldn’t be anywhere near the media. Joke of a pundit.

Stoke, Sp**s + United isn't he? Doesn't get much worse

Hate all three of those clubs; literally my 3 leadt favorite clubs. They actually booed Ramsey for getting his leg broke by Shawcross
