Brentford are very tough to beat at home, result nothing to scoff at.

it's only their second loss at home this season and they've not been beaten in 8 London derbies since losing to us!

BFG strikes to seal the win!

You could see Havertz was on fire when he came on His first touch was something I haven't seen from him this season. So happy for him. Go on Kai let's carry this onto the next game!

Ramsdale's return wasn't very good. He wasn't terrible but he's making the mistakes like last and this season. Arteta's reaction wasn't to pleasing..

Controlled the game, string in midfield, dominant. Only thing that's needs to get better is penetration/ creating chances. We do that in other games but needs to be more consistent.

What a great weekend!

**** you Rio

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

True, I think those two situations you mention are probably as high as penalties.

Other than that, they couldnt even counter attack enough tonight. We shut them down nicely for most of the game.

Yes its were very big big chances rice and Zinchinko not clearing it off linr and its goal. They really didnt build an attack apart from that

 

[dino bravo]

Were nothing special as usual from the caf, but they are dogsh1t so all is well.

They just got a physical hammering and watching their players melt to look forward to tomorrow

 

[TheGreatWright8]

Luckily they didn't capitalize from the Ramsdale mistakes but big win.

We
If that don't give him some kick start then its not great sign he desperately needed something to ease the pressure now all he need to do the same

I’m managing expectations, it would be unusual for this kind of switch to be flicked so easily.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

We are thier bogey team. Seriously tho they good side but thomas frank good manager too

 

[SA Gunner]

Brentford are just another Newcastle and Everton when we face them. But its a tactic that other teams will copy as well, because it shuts us down majorly. I expect this type of stuff from Fulham, Villa, West Ham, United, Everton, etc... this season.

I liked what I saw in the first 15 minutes. It was more risky football due to our verticality, but it really cut them apart and had them scrambling a whole lot. I think had the Trossard goal been rightly allowed, this would have been a different game altogether.

I think Arteta knows that we need to change the pace of our game to get better control of it. Get that early goal to push the game state into our favour.

 

[SA Gunner]

We aren't controlling any football games without Partey.

Then why is our XGA and actual conceded goals the best level in the league right now?

 

[Arson Finger]

Huge win to scrape out. Lack of end product a bit concerning but Brentford also defended really, really well.

Happy for Havertz.

Ramsdale was good in the 2nd half after being shocking in the first half.

Doesn’t happen often so I’ll say that young ref was very good. He didn’t draw the lines on the weird VAR and was in control otherwise and no weird calls at all. Nice ro also see a referee from West Sussex instead of ‘grew up 2 minutes from Old Trafford, family has season tickets’.

Ref's name is Tim Robinson. I don't think he should leave.

 

[quattro]

unless Raya is injured I don't expect to see Ramsdale starting in the prem again. you could just feel that the defenders were not confident passing back to him and just tried to make do with what they had and pass forward and sideways the best they could when the ball was in our half.

 

[1macca1]

This win continues the appearance that this team has a sense of maturity about them.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Really difficult to say lot about this performance we look leggy at 2nd half because international break most players don't have much time to recover.

So to get 3 points against Brentford away from home just take it performance not important

We aren't controlling any football games without Partey.

This sorta games are when Partey played the worst normally

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

I missed the first half abd the second half was a dull and hard watch apart from two bits of quick play. Well done to Havertz for the rescue mission. That header was easier to mess up than the free one he had earlier in the season. We won when a point or worst looked more likely. I might comment on the details later but gor now, we're top of the table. COYG.

 

[Tom Mix]

Sorry for all you anti-Arsenal people here but WE ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE!!!!!!!

Amazing how caca the rest of the league must be when such a caca team are TOP OF THE LEAGUE!!!!!

Delighted for Kai and for Rambo's second half performance.

 

[Riou]

Saliba and Gabriel are just a brick ****ing wall, only **** that gets created against us now is from our own mistakes...no one gets past our defence on their own.

Rice is massive for us too, but our 2 CBs are unbelievable.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

This sorta games are when Partey played the worst normally

Not sure what people watching even without Partey this we basically 60-65% team. Today we had 63% possession our problem is creating against deep block
