Arsenal v Monaco. 11th December. 20:00

SAKA!!!!

Embarrassing from Monaco.

So that was 2-0?

[Niall_Quinn]

Not that he'd every be allowed to win it, but Saka cuts a figure like the dominant player in Europe right now. Might be hard to hang on to him in the summer.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

HAVERTZ!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oh that's not Havertz's goal.

[Niall_Quinn]

Saw the match stats - sounds like a well deserved win. Though can't get anywhere close to a real read just from the stats.

[Niall_Quinn]

Oh that's not Havertz's goal.

But is it a goal? So ambiguous, such a clit tease.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-0, been credited with Havertz's goal.

[Niall_Quinn]

It was Jesus, apparently. Thought he'd been subbed. GW is a pale shadow of what it used to be for match reporting. Used to come here first to get the details, now I'l have to come here to eliminate what definitely didn't happen.

I think most people would say Palmer is the the pre-eminent player in the EPL ATM....my personal preference is obviously Saka but hard to argue with how it seems Palmer has changed Chelsea's fortune for the better.

Arsenal 3-0 Monaco, FT.

Not a great second half but given the golden chances we missed in the first, balances out in the end.
