What happened? Missed it.

Let’s gooooo

If this stays like this, Man Utd will have scored 3 goals in each of their away games in this group…

… and gotten one point.

The Galata defending is quite bad. So open in every Utd attack.

And it’s the last one this seas… oh no, there’s March. Nevermind.

Good news: when this break is over, there’s 7 Arsenal games in 23 days. Three straight midweeks to look forward to!

Good morning. Arsenal have conceded the (joint-) least goals in the Prem and have the least xgA (as per fbref, understat) as well.

Welcome to the age where we have the best defence in the league.

Bayern are locked at first so if we top the group at least we don’t face them.

If Man Utd don’t qualify (still a big if atm), I’d love to get Copenhagen/Galata. Then Lazio/Feyenoord would be my second choice.

Ref/VAR correctly disallow home team’s goal for a clear offensive foul. Good process.

I think with Saliba playing on Sat and Gabriel rested, Gabriel plays today. I expect that he, Tomi & Kiwior will be 3/4 of the backline today (plus possibly Ben White?)

Then Elneny, Jorginho, ESR, Fabio, Tross, Havertz are all in with good shouts for the other 6 positions although it’s super unlikely that Arteta will do a complete rotation. I’d expect 2-3 on the bench still. He might play 3 of these guys, 2 starters and one youngster like Sagoe Jr.

He and our guys (Henry, Vieira, Pires) - the reason I was cheering for France back then!

For anyone watching Sporting CP, does Diomande play exclusively as a CB or does he also play as a DM occasionally? How has he been this season?

This is an epic reference! Well done 👏

Henry I think is walking off the pitch and says ‘come on, Arsenal, yes’ while pointing to the badge. Does anyone know which game this is from and what the context is / who he is talking to?

I can’t be the only one who’s happy for Emery. This Villa team is playing so well right now.

What’s he supposed to do with his arm while jumping for the header there??

‘The way I see it, if you’re gonna build a title-challenging team, why not do it with some style!’

The Arsenal are playing today!

They’re obviously better than what the table shows because underlying numbers. However, the strength of their early schedule means underlying numbers were always expected to be good.

We have so much more cohesion and a coherent style of play. We are the favourites (although that doesn’t always mean much). If Havertz scores it’ll be a moment.

We can do it. COYG
