I think this game reminds me, that despite us being such a strong team this season, is the Premier League a very difficult league to win.

I need to be more humble and realise that every game is a battle, especially with advantages gained and lost so quickly. We may have an elite structure to our game, but as seen against Bournemouth, you can lose anytime.

Great comeback win this, but big lessons as well.

 

[Let's play Aubamawang]

My next shirt will have Nelson 97 on the back. Give the lad a new deal as he bleeds Arsenal and it looks like that last loan spell reignited something within him. I've been championing him for some time on here and I'm so happy for him that he's able to show everyone what he is capable of.

 

[Let's play Aubamawang]

Mad respect for this guy. Very honest and generous with his comments. Love that he said we can celebrate however we want. Hope he stays in PL when there's idiots like Klopp and Conte around.

Jorginho

Well, must be Bartholomew, the preacher of the Gospel in India. The bib color and location matches that of the painting eerily.

But what I want to know is: What was Leonardo da Vinci's connection with Arsenal and why does @Fabregasm know?

 

[Sulosky]

How come this wasn’t a foul?

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

Who is the one in green running up from the bench? @CaseUteinberger

Jorginho I believe

 

[Blood on the Tracks]

Nice of @Blood on the Tracks to send me his thoughts on the win:

That's only volume 1.

I'll send you the other 7 later.

Missed the game again due to family and work stuff. Sounded a nail biter. The winner in the 97th minute seems unreal.

The crazy thing is the players who are scoring the extra time winners; two academy players who have generally been considered not good enough for Arsenal and a much maligned chelsea mercenary.
Not sure how this happens, but for our next extra time winner we need to bring on Holding who will get into the box and get his head on a second or third ball from an Oordegaard free kick.

Stuff of Champions that. Remember Utd having loads of those kinds of winners… Macheda scored an absolute worldly as well.

It’s actually 3 players who (some) have considered not good enough for Arsenal that have scored the injury time winners. Nketiah, Nelson and not forgetting Emi Martinez

 

[Tir Na Nog]

I can see now why White celebrated the way he did.

 

[freeglennhelder2]

This photo really is great! Just encapsulates the madness after Nelson scored. My favourite part was Saliba running around a bit aimlessly, first looking like he is going to pull off his shirt, then kicking the corner flag out of all things. Proper displacement activity!

​

Saliba went to destroy the corner flag.

And rightfully so IMO

 

[DUFFMAN]

Every week we have to beat 11 men and VAR and the officials.

But we keep pulling it off…

How we pin teams back. This is what I mean by suffocating teams, i don't think City even do this like we can nowadays. City might have tools and quality to create and score but I don't think this season they're on our level when it comes to sustaining pressure and pinning teams back to the point where there's no escape like we do. Bournemouth had counter-attacking opportunities up until about 60 minutes and then it was all us and they literally just couldn't get out.

Small point here, but maybe for the opposition playing 3 CB's is a bit reductive. Think Bournemouth would've been better off with another midfielder or another forward to help give Partey and our CB's something to think about other than just Solanke who was so isolated in the 2nd half.


Think vs Fulham it'll be a different challenge tho, because they play 4-5-1 or 4-2-3-1 mostly, I think. Perreira usually behind the lone striker so it'll be a different prospect to the 5-4-1 Bournemouth do here. They might even get Perreira to really pressure Partey a lot while their CF is a bit further forward competing with Saliba and Gabriel. It's a fine balance tho because the less bodies the opposition have back the more holes we can pick.

Best lessons to learn when you don't end up losing

What a ****ing finish to the game!!!

Such a pleasure reading the messages from last 10 minutes of the game here the day after!! Took me right back!
Never change guys!

 

[Sudders]

Arteta subs IN Emile Smith Rowe and then again Subs him OUT for Nelson. (Subbing a sub)

That's something I have never seen (Unless an injury to the Sub)....very bold...paid off in the end.

Actually not very rare at all. Its usually a bad thing to be hooked after coming on but in this case I reckon ESR was only planned to play a certain number of minutes and wasn't expected to be needed so early on. He was clearly failing to impact the game later on so a good decision was made.
