Still buzzing from commentating on this one 🙌🏼 A professional display from the team with a beautifully worked goal & one of our trademark set-pieces.👌🏼📺
Suggested to Mikel Arteta post-match that Viktor Gyökeres’ tactical contribution today might have gone under the radar, to which he responded:
“I just went there and hugged him and said thank you because the work that he does is unbelievable for the team. The way he stretches
Trossard will get all the plaudits in terms of being the impact substitute and rightly so. But I'll tell you what, Jakub Kiwior at left-back, a position he's previously looked uncomfortable in was superb!
Pep Guardiola celebrates a goal, it’s fine. Arteta celebrates winning the game & its ‘embarrassing’.
Apparently we should all stay seated & calmly applaud. No celebrations allowed! Nobody’s claiming it’s a major trophy. Everyone hates us & do you know what, I love it! 🔴⚪️
Say what you want about Arteta's team selections, tactics & lack of experience but at the very least, this man is willing to make big calls in an attempt to fix a broken culture that has plagued the Arsenal for years.
Haaland threw the ball at Gabriel’s head after City scored earlier in the season but Gabriel isn’t allowed to celebrate in front of him?
Lewis-Skelly was disrespected by Haaland up at the Etihad but isn’t allowed to give it back?
Truth is, rivalries make for far better
Ødegaard went over to Saka as he stood over the spot with the ball under his arm and clearly said the penalty was to be taken by Havertz. Not saying Saka resisted but MO keen for him to take it. The German calmly slots home & the Arsenal fans have been singing his name
Martinelli’s teammates are well aware of the criticism the Brazilian has faced of late. Preferring Eze on the left is fine but there’s always some that take it too far. Look at Calafiori pointing at the name on the back of the shirt. These guys are in it together 💙
