Player Rating and Match Reaction Fulham 0-3 Arsenal

[HCZ_Reborn]

Ramsdale - 7 - Little to do until the second half but made a good save after Gabriel missed his interception


White - 7 - Looked to carry on where he left off last week


Saliba - 7 - Pretty solid on the whole


Gabriel - 6 - Got on the scoresheet but should have been able to intercept a pass into Decorva Reed which put the latter in


Zinchenko - 5 - Fortunately wasn’t able to fuck things up for us like he usually does


Xhaka - 6 - Ok some pretty iffy control but made himself available for some promising attacks


Partey - 6 - Good at the meat and drink part of his game, but worries me how often he loses the person he’s meant to be marking on corners


Odegaard 8- Been on pretty good form for a while, his control and movement to set himself up for the third goal was impressive, and not afraid to put in a tackle


Trossard 9 - Two away games in a row been man of the match, he just does the simple things well…good range of passing and crossing


Saka - 6 - Been a bit muted the last few games, I’m sure that Scottish boy botherer will have something to say about that.


Martinelli - 7 - Overall play was good, had a pretty easy goal to score in the end


Subs


Tierney 6

Nelson 6

Tomiyasu 6

Vieira 6

Jesus 7


Very little to complain about in truth, won the game in the first half and in the second half we were able to bring back Gabriel Jesus (he is risen) which of course is a massive plus for us with 11 games to go.
Not a perfect performance but an efficient one and an entertaining one. A potential banana skin turned into a relatively comfortable stroll

Chance to put some huge pressure on City next week if we beat Palace. Maybe 8 points clear and their next league game is Liverpool. Granted Liverpool are flaky as hell but they tend to raise their game against City.

Yeah.... I probably wouldn't put too much money on us.

Or you know, any.

Missed the game today but was blown away by the score and the nature of the victory. I am beginning to believe.

I was pretty confident today, I’m starting to have some real confidence in this lot.
I still can’t help feeling City will steamroll us but we are certainly giving ourselves a chance.

Ram - 7, one or two howlers but also some good saves
White - 7.5
Gabriel - 7 - at fault for one of the goals but otherwise pretty good, also good to see him get another goal - 7
Saliba - 8
Zin - 5 - once again gave the ball away at a dangerous moment and set them up for an attack, did do one or two little things of use here and there but generally once again showing he's overrated
Partey - 8 - generally very good
Xhaka - 7 - apart from an awful miss did do some good things in the first half particularly
Odegaard - 7 - needs to look up more and try to play more one-touch footabll, good gaol though
Saka - 6 - needs a break and should be rested for the home game against Sporting - Nelson should start instead
Trossard - 9 - in contrast to Saka and Odegaard at times, doesn't overcomplicate things and knows where the goal is at all times
Martinelli - 9 - brilliant as ever

Sub

Vieira - 8 - really like whet he does
Nelson - 7 - lively enough
Tomi - 7 - didn't see him do much
Tierney - 7 - didn't get much opportunity but was ok
Jesus - 7.5 - looked really lively but his finishing doesn't seem to have improved

[GP]

Arsenal have won five consecutive away London derbies while keeping a clean sheet each time - the first time this has ever happened by any capital club in football league history.

[Ollie the Optimist]

10 wins from the title….

Yeah, City seem to have the knack against us. However, we can still afford to lose one. COYG.

Saw the highlights, looked like a pretty commanding performance.
I call bullshit on the disallowed OG, another one of those where they're looking to see if a toenail is offside. Just deal with the really glaring errors and let that stuff go. On we go
