Win Premier League: Arsenal 1 - 0 Norwich City | Saturday, 11th September | KO: 15:00 BST | Stream

Don't even know if I want us to win or not. Both teams are in poor form, but I'm sure Norwich fancies this. This might kickstart their season. Historically, we always have the upper hand against them, but struggling to see how we beat them seeing the way we play.

The stats makes for grim reading

We do seem to have a decent record against them tbf

This match always come to mind when I think about Norwich. Orgasmic football!

A bit of nostalgia for my boy @Riou


Predicted Lineup

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Saka until he improve his finishing he'll not be considered an elite talent i hope he do improve this he always get himself in scoring position 2-3 times a game nothing to do with manager because it's up to player to be ruthless

 

[Riou]

...saw this kinda pointless stat, but very fitting for this kinda pointless match

He is not a winger, doesn’t have the end product. Needs to play in midfield in a three, I’ve no doubt it’ll happen in a year or so as he has all the attributes to play box to box in a three.

I think we shouldn't give up about him as LW finishing will come we don't have winger like him who press and have quick pace.

That’s why I said in a year or so he’ll move into midfield. I think they’ll persist with him on the wings this season before they realise he isn’t productive enough. You can’t have players in your attack these days who don’t score.

That was a 50/50 game all together for me, I thought our backline for the majority of the game with their first game together played alright despite it only being Norwich. Tomiyasu had a pretty good game & he impressed me on his debut. Gabriel played well aswell, better then Mari had been playing.

Partey impressed me well as soon as he came on, AMN wasn't his best but I wouldn't blame him, I'd still like to see a partnership of Partey & Lokonga. Lokonga played alright at times aswell I thought. Not perfect but certainly better then El Neny, should get in before El Neny.

Auba didn't have his best game but he could have got more then 1 goal if their keeper didn't have such a good game. Pepe, Saka & Auba I thought were pretty unlucky tbh, Norwich's keeper had a pretty good game, if he didn't have such a good game we woulc have won by more then a goal. Pepe played well with a good shot or 2 but he was just unlucky. Saka is a very good player but he's got to improve his finishing. ESR played well as soon as he got on, he was also unlucky not to get a goal with his shot either. He brought us up another level when he got on though.

 

[Tom Mix]

Carlos Vela at the age of 20-21 was better than any youngster we have currently and he went on to have an average career, fans need to calm down with Saka, Smith and co

I don't think so. Vela had a few nice chips in the League Cup against mostly inferior opposition but then disappeared against bigger teams. Saka, and to a slightly lesser degree Smith-Rowe, has already proved he can cut it in big games against big teams.

They basically need to be playing in a better team with more coherent ideas and a game plan.

 

[TinFish]

Arteta isn't the only problem. Not enough is said about his coaching staff. Don't know what they're doing in training but it's obviously not good enough.

If you look into the coaching staff history, you'll see that they served under the likes of Moyes and Allardyce.

 

[TinFish]

Judging as a youngster you can overlook it I guess, but when he's meant to be one of your best players it's not good enough at all.. Definitely needs to add end product to take the next step. His overall game has been lacking to start this season too, but I'm not worried about that yet.

Feels like I'm watching Grealish sometimes with Saka. He is trying to attain a bit more flair and hold onto the ball more. As a result he wins us consistent fouls. I guess training with England and being with his best mate Grealish helps with that....

However at Arsenal we need his purple patch form from last season.

Wtf he received the ball a few times and got kicked mid turn. He found more and more space as the game went on. Hes young and getting the most attention out of everyone on the team, nobody else gets fouled, late challenged or kicked as much as him for a reason and it isnt the rest of them are better.

Let me rephrase that - a 'wannabe' Grealish.

I'm not criticising his performance. I just feel he was more useful last season considering our attacking input is dire.

 

[SA Gunner]

This man aint having it.

The kid is like 19.

Yes that's why people need to show more patience with him he playing with little quality around him and pressure is bigger him and ESR should be developed step by step and not asking them to be our main men

 

[IstraBalagina]

He is 20, it's not like he's 17-18.
Soon he'll have to step up
