Guys I not only had the most amazing birthday gift as I got to see our Gunners play and win 5-0 but the hotel my wife booked for us (from Canada) is the same one our Gunners were staying at! I got my jersey signed by Gabriel and got a fist pump from Ødegaard!!

This is amazing. Congrats!

I feel sorry for Smith Rowe, you can see he was pretty rusty today. Needs more games but he won't get them.

Trossard was trolling today, silly ball control, love watching him play. He's the closest to a Cazorla I have ever seen.

Fantastic result at home to a newly promoted team. Hope everyone enjoyed it and we follow it up with a similar performance Vs West Ham or Newcastle or Sevilla. If not Burnley is on the horizon and we can replicate it then.

I think we see him against West Ham. Hope he can show a bit more.

Well done! Sounds like you had a great day!

You make it sound like this was a good result in a sequence of poor results. We are still unbeaten in the league and 2 points of top, good chance to stay ahead of City providing United can get a result.

Anyways, instead of focusing on the attack, look at the underlying numbers of our defence. 2 shots conceded, non on target, Sheffield United expected goals 0.02. We gave Sheffield United not even a look at our goal. No bozo moments at the back which has been a theme this year - especially at home.

Still amazed some fans cant say the transition toward becoming a more defensive orientated team.

We also look like walking our CL group.

Yesterday there was something of a lack of atmosphere in the ground given the opposition - also their obdurate defence till we scored then a cakewalk in the second half. Of course we were expected to and ultimately did crush them, but we did it with a quite heavily rotated team with a couple of significant ongoing injuries and showed the depth of the present squad in our subs also.

I see zero cause for complaint atm.

Yep. Things are looking good even with key players missing, heavy rotation, and CL midweek. If we can grind it out a bit more we're well positioned to start flying in the 2nd half of the season.

In my book it is mostly agenda from hardcore Arteta haters/dislikers. Some more reasonable ones have toned down the critique to not sound too over the top, while some others just trod on as they have nothing better to do.

Any supporter with eyes can see what Arteta and the staff are trying to do. It's not always pretty on the eyes. I was frustrated after the first 20 minutes of the game thinking we just played without any real tempo. Clearly Arteta told them at halftime to increase the tempo, which they duly did with good results.

We are about there we were last season at the same time, but without playing at our best I think. Think this team has a couple of more gears and better we hit full speed later in the season if we can stay in or around the top until that happens. Still might not be enough against teams that the FA and PGMOL support, but think we can make a good go at it.

This is what I find most encouraging. We rotated heavily and subbed quite a few starters early and still came out 5-0 winners with 0 shots on goal against. Happy days!

Big fixture build up right now so a win with rotation and especially Eddie starring shows that we’re in good shape.

 

[Gunner Matt]

If he has been nursing an injury, which is why he was rested today according to Arteta, helps explain a lot. Think the same is the reason Saka looks a bit off right now. Wouldn't mind seeing Saka rest a bit also. Today was good though with the many and early substitutions. Even White got a breather, which isn't bad.

Would like White to get rested more when we have the opportunity! Although he hasn’t been playing international football so has technically played less games, he is up and down that right side most of the games and Saka looks different when White isn’t behind him so need to protect him as much as we can.

Think ESR grew into the game late on. I can see him balling out against West Ham, needs to build his match ryhthm.

Agreed on Trossard. Silky af.
