He should have done that against Sp**s away last season. Absolutely naive to be on the front foot away when you need only a point. Let’s see if he learned from it and do it vs. City.

I wouldn’t go defensive against Liverpool. They have ridiculous quality up front Salah, Nunez, Gakpo, Jota, and now Diaz returning.

Need to control more of the ball. Starve their front of the ball. Worried on their counter though. Shame Tommy is injured. Perfect against Salah.

We really need City to draw versus Liverpool. That will also dint Pool’s UCL spot chase.

Sitting back against City and letting them have chance after chance. What could go wrong?

Good to see Arteta learning, ben white is now overlapping whenever Saka is double marked. This is something we missed in our loss to Everton away. Lot of positives apart occasional mistakes which could cost us in big games. It's a young team and they will learn from mistakes.

Not the city of this season. Their fluidity is severely impacted by Haaland.

You really cannot be on the front foot against the champions at their turf when you need a draw only specially after they ripped us apart at home.

That’s not what the poster means though Think back to the days against Man U when Fergie adopted a similar defensive system against us. He used it so many times that it was outlined in his autobiography. Let the opposition have the ball, smother them and hit ‘em on the break.

I agree this has the potential to go horribly wrong against Man City, but there is absolutely no need to go on the offensive if we still retain a decent points lead going into the game.

Who saw that fan behind Partey when he took that throw in?

Think that may be @Trilly after realizing that Saka has put another brilliant performance by also scoring two non-deflected goals

Palace didn't hear no bell...



...but they were absolutely begging to hear it even this early

With how every match in the league is basically a cup final, it sometimes hard to appreciate just how good Arsenal play. Not only are they winning, but winning in style as well. Craziest thing is this isn't even the peak. What a time

The north bank goes:
we’re the north bank, we’re the north bank
we’re the north bank highbury

then the clock end (the side of the Ashburton army) goes:

we‘re the clock end, we’re the clock end
we’re the clock end highbury

Annoying. Used to be North Bank at Highbury but noe West stand. No one sing's that, used to be mostly the kids section and away fans in the old ground.

And then he crashed

I hope this is a joke

Not often where both an initial posting and the retort opposing it can both be so wrong

Only on Arsenalmania!

Same chant they did in the 80s - only that was more about making our own entertainment when the football was rubbish before GG got the team challenging

I used to sing the clock end when I was in the clock end in the late 80s, early 90s

Hleb was mediocre, looked good because of Cesc.

This isn’t fair. Look at Hleb’s sparkling post Arsenal career
