Win PL: Arsenal 2 - 1 Leeds | Sunday 8th May | KO: 14:00 BST | Sky Sports

We welcome Leeds to town knowing that the **** have lost to Liverpool at Anfield (praying for a battering) and possibly Chelsea against Wolves.

Win this and we go 5 points clear and it’ll be Partey Szn in the NLD. We’ll be dancing at the Lane or whatever that sh*thole is called nowadays:

Pending

Playing spuds away is one of our most difficult fixtures tbh. Three points would be exceptional but Id take a point.

 

[Hunta]

2 more wins and CL football secured.

3 more stressful games coming but we in good position

We aren’t beating both Newcastle and Everton. We need a draw against Sp**s.

Tbf Leeds played like a team defending a lead and low blocked us. they had one chance to make this a game and got their lucky punch right. they still didnt attack us so we played the u to the death and probably shouldve done so even more.

it seems like we dont like to do it without going to the wire. keeps us on the edge

 

[CaseUteinberger]

Not sure why people are singling out Pepe, the starters were a gang of nobheads after the red card. Ødegaard and Saka doing fancy flicks like we were 5 up.

Scummy lot.

Agree, both Saka and Ødegaard could have shown more leadership.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Should've been more comfortable that this. How many games we have near 3.00 but only manage to get 2 goals

 

[Erlis]

4 in 4.

My 100% record continues.

Just open that new thread already mate, cannot read all the complaining here.

Should have been more goals but thats it. Win is a win. More important game in next few days.

 

[BaZZe]

Don't get berating the performance, besides the final few minutes were we almost lost our head we controlled the game all the way through, they scored from their very first attempt. We were carving them open constantly. The thing you could criticize was our poor finishing.

 

[Mitch]

Cedric? Are you serious? I thought he was our worst player until Pepe came on.

I agreed with Alan Smith, who thought Cedric had a very good game. Cedric made many good crosses in attacking movements and wasn't the liability defensively today that Tomiyasu was (uncharacteristically from Tomi who previously has been very good).

 

[Bagels]

Another important 3 points.

The stress is inevitable when you are as wasteful as we are though… at some points we were creating chances for fun, fluffing all of them and then got nervy when realized we have to protect a measly 1 goal lead.

The improvements from last season to this season in terms of squad/performances/results have been great, hopefully that trajectory continues, but I really hope that we find a ruthless streak next season too.

We will have to be far, far more clinical for the NLD.

 

[TriniGunner]

We aren’t beating both Newcastle and Everton. We need a draw against Sp**s.

We can beat Everton at home on the final day of the season but away to Newcastle is hard. I would definitely take a draw vs Sp**s right now based on our form. We just aren't fluid in our attack and it's worrying.

 

[2Smokeyy]

These performances are expected at this point in the season, we're not some established squad who have been winning trophies for fun. These lot are under the most pressure we've seen in years.

Finally an excellent post, you back on that Dominos diet?

The 3 points is all that matters at this stage of the season.

Scummy lot.

 

[MartiSaka]

We made hard work of it after red card, should have been working on our goal difference not hanging on for the win. This is one criticism of arteta teams, we can't go for the kill.

I would be very surprised if we win on Thursday.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

We aren’t beating both Newcastle and Everton. We need a draw against Sp**s.

It depends Newcastle are good and in form but they aren't unbeatable we just beaten westham and Chelsea away from home. About the Sp**s game we have to try finish the job there Conte will attack us.

 

[Batman]

Agree, both Saka and Ødegaard could have shown more leadership.

They're both still young and growing into leaders. Xhaka needed to show leadership but was doing his best to be booked instead. Cedric was actively playing against us.

 

[Jose_Reyes_2005]

This is one of the strangest feelings I've had after an Arsenal win .... I think the closest experience would have been Gallas's last minute equalizer against United at home in 07. I remember not celebrating because I wasn't happy with a point at home against United because the standards were different back then. If Leeds would have scored that last minute chance it apparently would have been the first time in 20 years where a team came back to get something from a game they were a man down in for so long. I was convinced the commentator jinxed that when he mentioned it. If we play like that against Sp**s we might as well just rest everyone for Newcastle.

I have to say though, it was funny seeing the Leeds players stuff that note in their shorts before handing it around

 

[MikelHadADream]

Tomi back at RB for the NLD against Son?

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

The only problem we have in Thursday is we'll be forced to play Cedric or Tavares against son or kulusevski. Cedric always s**ting himself when we under pressure and Tavares we all know how bad defensively he is.

 

[Macho]

Tears in @Macho eyes as Pepe comes in to play for more than 20 mins

I ain’t even watch tbh, not interested.

 

[yorch44]

Arteta: Pepe is a completely different player after African Cup.
Inside his head: I need to frozen him 2 or 3 months or he could look like a good player.
