Rice and Tomiyasu are just amazing.
Raya though. Bloody hell that last punch almost made me vomit. He had a pretty good game until that moment lmao
Easy win, was never worried
Rice with another unreal game, he was an essential buy
We paid over a hundred million and he’s worth every penny, what a fucking player
Finally a win against Sevilla. Thank fuck
Hopefully no one was playing “drink every time the commentator says damp night in Seville” because if they were, they’re dead.
Ref really did his best to help Sevilla lol
Imagine if Raya scored that own goal in 94th minute, gunners would personally hunt him down
Decent away performance but we need to do better in buildup… Odegaard seriously out of form someone find his wand… Jesus motm… Debut goal for martinelli… Rice and tomiyasu were solid
Big respect to the Sevilla fans at the stadium today. UNREAL atmosphere and you guys kept it going throughout.
Brilliant away win in a country we’ve struggled for years. Martinelli, Jesus, Rice and Tomiyasu outstanding
I mean, we couldn’t really have complained if we’d drawn that. Let Sevilla back into it with some really poor set-piece defending (why we’re so bad at that I don’t know, we were one of the best teams in the country for it two years ago) and completely outplayed for about 40 minutes after that.
Raya needs to fuck off, where I don’t care, he’s the most unwarranted usurper of a regular starting place we’ve had in years. Odegaard has been well off it since the new deal and I would be happy for him to be benched on Saturday for a rest. Won’t happen cause Arteta won’t drop anyone unless they’re physically unable to play but if we can’t beat Sheffield United without him we don’t deserve to win anything.
But it was two of the best goals we’ve scored all season, we got it over the line and we’re top of the group now so I’ll take it. Rice was Rice, and that was Jesus’ best game in a while.
Your own arguments contradict each other my man, Raya is only playing cause Ramsdale was dropped, so how doea Arteta nevers drops anyone? Also, a draw would be unfair imo, Arsenal was much better over the game, Sevilla pressed and had some good chances after the goal, but overall Arsenal deserved the win.

What are you on about again?
Raya’s only mistake was moving to a club with as toxic a fanbase as Arsenal’s. My god you lot are insufferable.
Its so embarrassing honestly, i think the years of pain have rendered some people unable to enjoy the team. I just avoid the match threads blue.
Seriously. It’s so bad
Their hearts are still set on Ramsdale, Raya will be under a lot of pressure as a result
Tomiyasu is the better option in that inverting role than Zinchenko in big games. Doing less is more in this case. Tomiyasu knows the purpose of inverting is to help the midfielders not replace them. Zinchenko always tries to be the focal point of our buildup and it’s always a sign of arsenal playing poorly if he’s seeing too much of the ball. It backfires easily as well because he overestimates his ability on the ball and dawdles in possession and ends up losing it cheaply or playing a shit pass. Tomiyasu knows his limits, keeps it simple, and moves the ball quicker. Plus him and Zinchenko is like heaven and hell in terms of defensive ability.
Far from comfortable but we take it away win in Spain against a very good team at home we move on. Good news the other game in group was a draw.
PSV are doing God’s work for us lmao we can guarantee first spot by winning the next two thanks to all their draws
Martinelli, Rice, and Tomiyasu all on the left is as solid as you can get defensively.
Well done to the boys, but that ref needs to be NOWHERE NEAR A CL MATCH.
