Not gonna lie, seeing those banners at The Emirates again brought back some bad memories.

The way Wenger was treated towards the end was awful, even if we were frustrated back then..our darkest moment.

Roy looked hurt, as I am sure Arsène was

Arsène was done so dirty by Arsenal fans that it makes me question my own fandom of this club, alongside singing North London forever at every home game I'm not sure where I stand right now.

Would have liked Nelson to get some minutes today and let Saka take an afternoon nap but the enforced subs took that away from him. He's looked good when he's had longer than 5 minutes to impress.

Overall, a great result that hopefully gave Trossard and Nelli some momentum. Jesus continues to baffle me with all that skill he always gets under the ball when he should score.

Yep it's a real shame but at least ESR got some minutes under his belt.

@Macho @db10_therza @Trilly

What's your score in FPL this week ?

I just checked my team that I set up in GW1 and forgot/never updated anymore

 

[GoonerJeeves]

No surprises that as soon as ESR came on for Havertz that we looked so much more fluid in attack, transition and in penetration.

The game was won at that stage though. I think you need to see ESR starting before any conclusions can be drawn. That Palace side is also in a bit of a free fall.

Not knocking any positive views on ESR, but I think it's wise with a bit of caution.

DAMN, missed the last 2 goals at the end

Worth it for a nice seat on the train home.

 

[BergMan]

5 goals from 6 shots on target is clinical. Team been working on finishing in Dubai!

Rubbish captaincy but otherwise decent

 

[freeglennhelder2]

How we lose three in row and still 11 points ahead of Manchester United?

Well one game was in the FA Cup so there were no points associated with it

Gave me bad vibes too. By doing that at the match they were demoralising their own players. They seemed to collapse after the banners came out.

@Macho seeing Trossard score, but Saka didn't assist him for the first time ever...and then seeing Gabriel's second get given as an own goal, costing him another Bukayo assist...

I acknowledge that I wanted him out but was absolutely dismayed by the treatment of Arsène by the vicious troglodytes that litter our supporters.

Additionally, that repulsive song needs to be tossed into history's dustbin.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Wasn't he going through some real bad times a while back? Great to see him doing well.

Red carding you for that

I don't get why supporters leave early every match , what excuse is there ? I notice the Sp**s supporters don't leave with 5 mins to go .

When I was at the Emirates, the traffic jams after the match were notoriously blocked. That traffic was moving at snail pace and one of the reasons people go out early I believe is to walk to The Arsenal station. The Holloway station is usually closed on matchdays.

 

[Mohamed7]

I think we overpaid for Rice and Havertz in the range of 70-80m.

Means we should have got Havertz for free

Our luck is quite funny with these things.

Happy with the result anyways and a clean sheet from the boys was sweeter than usual this time around with my double Arsenal defence

That's an excuse

I will always view esr with a positive lense because it was his introduction to the team along with saka that saved him from losing job.

He's a great connector between midfield and defence, our best player on the half turn and incisive when in front of goal.
