You wouldn’t think so reading this thread

They need a lot of work though but they have a lot to work with.

Nuno is very interesting, a bit of a long shot considering just how little he’s rated but there could be a player there. His crossing is just as good as KTs and he’s the better athlete.

Its like the team we put against Brentford few youngsters and squad players

Hearing we only lost cos of Covid (?).

Only three actual first team players missing for Brentford, but that’s not really a conversation we need to have right now.

Good time to throw Martinelli out there, Auba already has 2 goals and an assist, job done.

I would say sub in Pablo Mari too for confidence but that might be too risky

 

[Baki]

Everything will come with that caveat, but I’m chuffed we’re actually doing what we needed.

Nothing against playing a strong team here, we need to confidence.

Hopefully Arteta sees this and realizes he needs to build his team around Auba for the short term (I.e. this season).

Let’s hope he doesn’t get a full season.

Campbell mentioning how many times runs not being picked out because we're so hesitant to play the pass. Frustrating for an attacker.

Yes he right it's ridiculous we are very slow pepe auba made few runs our players just slow or too late to pass

 

[Head&Shoulders]

Even after 3-0 we still look poor as hell. If you're not worried about the city match. YOU SHOULD BE

They are playing rough, we should protect some players players

Yeah, not having the bashing he’s getting. Can see positives. Gotta give the boy a chance FFS.

Nope because we can't defend

 

[yorch44]

Ødegaard could not influence the game much but he bring other players to the game and ability to be available receiving the ball in middle. We'll be much better when Partey Gabriel White and signing RB there no doubt the problem will stay is we very slow with our decision making and most of it wrong.

Westbrom and Brentford now most of thier chances coming from our mistakes playing from back

Why people didn't talk about this with Özil? He did exactly this same but much better

Where are you @OnlyOne ???

Who’s says they’re not worried about the City match. Every c**t here is petrified? Don’t get that post.

 

[Riou]

@Riou ’s mediocre thread bringing us home the win.

Have to credit @American_Gooner too

Couldn't have done it without him!

Coz Arteta is a **** and so are his fans

 

[Trill]

Hope this isn't a false dawn. All it takes for all this to erode is a Man City spanking and we're back where we started.

Say what you will about Arteta but he's been seriously unlucky with this start to the season.

But then again some manager's just seem to have luck as an innate skill. Wenger could certainly have done with more of it.

Mate, I’m VERY happy with his win and game, but c’mon. Nothing here comes remotely close to being a false dawn.

It’s a weaker than weak team that will give us a bit of confidence for City, but not much more.

A win against City tho.… then a we can start the false dawn conversation.

 

[Riou]

Auba hattrick in his 150th Arsenal game, before going off to win the league with City.

It's why you watch this sport

Unlucky with what?

Didn't Nuno just beat City with a shíte Sp**s team?

 

[Heavy Duty Rom]

That Odeengard isn’t suddenly the reason why the team is scoring. It’s because we’re playing piss poor competition.

This wouldn't hold up in court.
