    I’m going to say what we’re all thinking.

    Eddie Nketiah is the best English striker with a five letter first name with double letters in the middle.

    I know eddie will get all the plaudits, and rightly so, but Declan Rice, game after game, week after week. What a player, man.

    Saliba looked like a pro player subbing for in a sunday league game today too. Sheffield United were awful, he barely even had to jog. You know you’re in the mud when the human victory hookah elneny gets a little 10 minute cameo.

    Genuinely not seen a Sheffield United team as bad as this since the League One days.

    Great time to be a Derby fan.

    r/Gunners has pre-made apology forms if you want to fill one out. Jk. Gunners hate on Nketiah more than r/soccer

    Considering our first choice LCB, RCM and ST were out, this was a fantastic performance. Just hoping for no more injuries and we can really cook

    Eddie hattrick. Tomi’s first goal. Vieira being Vieira. Smith Rowe AND Elneny assists. Kiwior being a rock at the back. Millimetres off the perfect game!

    Only a Havertz goal away from true perfection :(

      To be fair to Havertz, he was out there battling today. More spirited performance from him than any I’ve seen so far. Hopefully a sign of things to come!

        Good to finally see he can put in a solid shift against a spirited team. If he keeps this up he might even contribute a goal or an assist this season!
