I like when they play the ball forward towards the opposition goal. It's actually quite fun to watch. You could even call in entertainment. Hasn't happened in many, many years. Coincidentally, the team is top of the league.Originally Posted by selassie

Where has this season come from?
This team is just amazing - heart and skill like we haven't seen in ages. You could see what Arteta was trying to do for some time - I just never believed he had the tools in his locker to achieve it.

Arteta is doing an incredible job. Exceeding all expectations.
NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
Its great looking at Arsenal at the top of the table with it having nothing to do with the alphabet.

Yeah he is doing amazing work. He has improved every single player in the team, the quality of football, the mentality, the desire, everything about what he is now doing with this team is Elite.
I wonder if it’s a case of not what has changed but who.
As you say, we could all see what he was trying to do (although hands up, last year most of us doubted it and wanted him sacked) and the players are clearly talented but the signings of Jesus & Zinchenko from city suddenly seemed to change things. These are premier league winners who were sold on the project and have been world class for us. Cant remember who said it on twitter today but they said Zinchenko didnt see this a step Down but rather a chance to level arsenal up which he has done.
The early games were key as well. The team just looked different so the fans wer onboard instantly.
Ramsdale 6 - Made a couple of excellent saves but just punch you silly boy
White 5 - Has had an excellent season but could not deal with Rashford and even Arteta could see that
Gabriel 6 - Worries me that he’s a bit too easy to wind up
Saliba 7 - Tidy and efficient
Zinchenko 8 - One of his best performances in an Arsenal shirt
Partey 5 - Seemed a bit intimidated by the technical prowess of United’s midfield, doesn’t often have a poor game this was one
Xhaka 6 - Freed from defensive responsibility, showed some influence in the build up to our attacks. Played better today than he has recently
Odegaard 7 - Had to edit this as had forgotten about him, once again our most accomplished player technically
Martinelli 5 - Martinelli of last season was back, too ponderous to pull the trigger and Wan Bisaka often profited from his uncertainty
Saka 9 - Tormented Luke Shaw all game, and got a goal that was as high on quality as it was nonchalance and almost repeated the trick
Edward 9 - Fucker seems to have learnt the art of instant matter transmission, appeared out of nowhere to punish deep lying defending with poacher’s instinct…clever girl
Subs
Tomoyasu 7 - Did much better than White (more of a natural right back)
Trossard 7 - Enticing Cameo, interested to see more
Holding N/A - Didn’t even realise he’d come on

Sky are showing a real match right now.

Tell us what you really think NQ?
Yeah, agree in general, though Saka should get like 9.5 cause no one was on his level.
Also not sure Tomi did much better in containing Rashford, in fact I am beginning to see our RB spot as another weak spot (especially if White is intending to have games like this in the future)
BTW, are you warming to Trossard now?
