idk about Odegaard, wanna believe not convinced we’re anything but Saka and whenever Tierney and Partey are healthy playing well with this lineup is weird
I like odegaard but he definitely has lapses in concentration. regardless of him personally, I think seeing the way we play with him in the lineups shows how much we need that type of player. don’t think we can expect ESR to play that role either.
Pepe has shown to be quite a piece as well. I’d throw him in that group provided we can get the ball to him. Responsible for FK Luiz goal. Penalty kick and then an actual goal. That level of influence is promising especially against a Leicester type of team. PEA or Gabriel flanked by Saka and Pepe is pretty solid up top.
Almost as if we shouldn’t have taken idiotic red cards and we’d be in contention for CL league is shit outside of City
Thing that’s absolutely amazing to me is just how fucking good Partey is. His quality is obvious but the entire team just is better on the ball with him out there.
If you had asked me at the beginning of the game if that Arsenal lineup had three goals in them, I would have said “Yes. Against.” I did not see that coming.
Was about to ask if there was a more comfortable game this season. Could only come up with Fulham and West Brom for competition
Also shocking that Pepe looks better with Cedric and a 10 who floats to the right vs Bellerin who passes to him twice a season
Bellerin could definitely do with a spell on the bench. Think we’re about to see on a heavy dose of Willian
just saw arseblog is taking time off for family reasons. he made a comment at the start of the arsecast on friday about everyone staying safe and the world still being scary. hope someone close(or himself) hasn’t caught a bad case of covid or something else.
