Martinelli brings energy that is what we need, not washed up chelsea players

 

[Rimaal]

Pep dressed like hot dad forced to do the school run with a head cold.

 

[bergholt]

I would not play Auba CF. Just not his strength in EPL. Hopefully he was inspired by the hunger today.

If he doesn't play CF then where does he play? Clearly Saka and Martinelli have to play whenever fit.

How about:

Saka ESR Auba
Martinelli

?

 

[razörist]

He did mean it. I could see what he was trying to do the moment the ball left his boot.

Gtfo man

He has double the amount of shots William has had all season with 2 in one game.

ESR wasn't spectacular but he was pretty good. When I saw his name on the sheet I thought last-chance salloon for Arteta. A gamble bacuease he didnt know what else to do. But it worked, obviously not just because of him, the whole team worked their socks off, but he played his part very well indeed.

We lose a bit with Saka on the right but we gain by not having Willian on so more of ESR please.

His technical quality is obvious but his movement for such a young lad is exceptional. He's fantastic at finding pockets of space, similar to Özil.

 

[KrissKringle]

Auba is goal scorer unfair to bench laca but we'll need someone who score when they got chance

So far this season Laca > Auba.

 

[EmeryCouldnt]

Oh really? Where are the goals?

(this season obviously)

He needs a rest to get his head on straight.

Elnenny is the better partner for Partey because he's got the pace to cover for him when he drives forward. If you play Xhaka then Partey is more restricted.

I agree in theory but Elneny has been awful in the last few games. Losing the ball far too often and losing physical battles. Maybe we're trying to coach him into a different style of play but it's not working atm, he was much better when he was playing simple, quick one/two touch football.

Exactly, Arteta has fvcked up with Willian and he knows it. Play the young lads, along with Pepe.

 

[KrissKringle]

Still pisses me off that we conceded that late goal

It could have been 3-2 and that result would have been very harsh considering how the game went. For all the talk about Arteta fixing the defense, we regressed back to the usual ****show.

ESR exceeded my expectations by far. He was great.

 

[Oxeki]

ESR SAKA MARTINELLI should be starting for us. You saw that Chelsea players couldn't cope with their movement.

I don't want to see Willian walking around the field with a walking stick and an overcoat.

So have Xhaka and Ceballos. Elnenny has looked very good when playing with Partey. They appear to compliment each other really well.

ESR exceeded my expectations by far. He was great.

Imagine taking so long for Arteta to play him in the league when we've been struggling all season. His man management is head scratching to say the least.

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

Arteta- hopes its a turning point that can elevate the confidence of the players who were suffering with the recent results. He feels vindicated today with the injuries, sending offs, covid etc all going against the team. He feels the tempo we started with was key. On the youngsters, he says all the players were superb and won't single out anyone for praise . He better not ruin a winning formula.

 

[tap-in]

I feel like when Laca has a good game people sraight up ignore it but will be the first ones to talk when he has a poor one.

I always give credit when it due.

Anyone moaning about this can meet and join @14Henry @OnlyOne in the queue. Great win.
