Arsenal 5-0 Chelsea player ratings and match reaction.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Raya 7 - Made himself big and came to claim when he had to


White 9 - Loved the look on his face when he scored the second…”how did I manage that?”


Saliba 7 - Solid


Gabriel 8 - Made some good blocks


Tomiyasu 7 - Grew into the game after looking shaky


Partey 7.5 - Looked a lot like his old self


Rice 8 - Involved both ends of the pitch


Odegaard 9.5 - almost peerless performance


Havertz 8.5 - Would have loved to see him get his hat-trick


Saka 7.5 - Looked fresher


Trossard 8 - Early goal and likes to ghost into the box



Subs


Jorginho 7 - Good clearance at the end to preserve clean sheet


Vieira 7 - Decent Cameo


Martinelli 6 - Poor finishing


Jesus 6 - Poor finishing


Zinchenko 6 - Out muscled by Madueke



Potential banana skin ended up being torn to shreds, type of night we had where we were scoring even when we weren’t trying to. Chelsea goalkeeper actually made some decent saves or could have been worse


Very much like us that once we get our noses in front this year, we go on and win comprehensively

[Marc Overmars]

The game was a bit open in the first half but once the second half started we destroyed them. Could easily have been more than 5. A lot of quality shown all over the pitch and that caps off a solid response to the miserable week we had.

On to Spurs now. We are definitely much better than them but it will be their cup final too. We both need the wins really or our seasons will be over. This was always the key game in the run in after the Etihad. If we win then it’s likely we’re taking this to the final day.

In the mean time, hoping Brighton and Neverton and somehow nick results this week. :pray:

We need to win all our games and I still think either the Spuds or Man U game will maybe trip us up, but we've done all we can to go to Spuds with confidence so let's see

Fist game I've been to this season - and I am over the fucking moon!!!

Great result, loved the atmosphere in the ground - so much better than the times I've been in the past.

On to the next :patrice:

I would love to - but getting a ticket is nigh on impossible :(

I only got offered one as my mates son was sick

[Mac76]

I heard there were tickets on general sale still yesterday - some mess up with the club's ticketing system or something

[KSE Comedy Club]

We had to go to the box office as the season tickets that were transferred over to my mate email address didn't send the digital tickets :doh:

But all the screens outside said it was sold out :shrug:

Got to hand it to Arteta. He picked a bunch of players that didn't look even half-way capable and made them capable. White, Havertz, Odegard, they look like bloody world-beaters now. You have to hand it to him. We wondered if he had the chops, and he obviously does. But what he's done with Saliba and Gabriel (Gabriel especially) that's something. It looks like a proper team now. The mentality issues are still there (see Villa and Munich), but the football has improved. That can't be denied. The tip-tap-tip-tap bullshit has finally, finally, fucking finally been dispelled. Mostly.
