Official Gooners Thread - A New Hope

[mrdeeds]

Good to see Havertz back and playing. Even in the cameo, he displayed a bit of intelligence.

Lewis-Skelly seems off the boil.

His movement and hold up play compared to what's been there this season was night and day.

[Look-Up!]

Gyokeres is championship standard. Simples.

[ONeill]

Dozed off on 55 mins.

I understand that Arteta was burnt last 3 years by playing fairly open attacking football. And that he's methodically trying to win it now with a risk-free, controlled, systematic style.

But Jesus it's dull.

Hard to imagine some of the players enjoy playing it, especially with the attacking talent they have.

[Look-Up!]

Big opportunity missed.

[ONeill]

That's two weeks running. Should be 11 ahead.

[ONeill]

He needs to field the weakest team he can gather together against Inter.

He pathologically cant do that, will run Timber Gabriel and Saliba to breaking point

What odds are Arsenal for the quadrupole?

League in the bag
Through to Qualifying in Champions League
In final of league Cup
Into last 16 of FA Cup

23 senior internationals for 11 jerseys, should be harder not to win a treble

[Milltown Row2]

Would Arsenal now be best to put out the reserves in the finals games of the group, take rest the senior squad, prepare for the league, everything rests on winning that surely?

The worrying thing for the rest of Europe is that last night the didn't play Gabriel, Rice, Odegaard, Havertz/Gyokeres and possibly Marinelli who would all be in their best 11 and still win the game pretty comprehensively. 

If Jesus can replicate last night's performance will give them another string to their bow as Gyokeres hasn't really offered that much through middle this season.

Yeah they were missing a few but when you looked at the team it was strong looking, no need to win the group, its not gaining any advantage at this point, Liverpool walked that league last year and were out next game..

They seem very well suited to Europe, probably a fear factor in the opposition and free from the local pressures of bottling the PL - serious team, all 4 comps are genuinely up for grabs and you know he's going for the job lot, Pep taught him (and it was Mickey Harte taught Pep)

Sounds awfully familiar...

[ONeill]

English teams fairly dominating that CL table.

Watching the PL, you wouldn't think it's that great. But other leagues seem to be levels below that.
