Post-match views from the forum:
Blood on the Tracks: “Really good performance considering it was quite a rotated side.
Delighted for Eddie to get the hat trick considering some of the over-the-top stick he gets. Sure he’s not the best striker in the world but he’s decent enough.”
boonthegoon: “As I said at half time, with a rotated side this was a great performance from 25 min onwards. AM was moaning for nothing at HT. Even if we win the PL people here will cry about something.
Sheffield just 2 shots and none on target. This is unbelievable control. Yes, they are bad but they troubled Sp**s and utd.
– Ødegaard completely rested.
– Saka, Martinelli and white 2nd half subbed early.
– Eddie getting back to form when Jesus is injured.
– Tomi first Arsenal goal.
– Even Declan got a few minutes off lol.
As perfect as a match could have been today.”
