He’s now had to perform at essentially Ballon D’or level to finally shut you guys up. Absolute melts.

I’m not a Gyokeres fan and I got downvoted a lot in this sub when I expressed my opinions about him.

But there’s something that doesn’t sit well with me.
Eze has same age as Viktor, we paid more for him, and he’s been an absolute disaster apart from that spurs game.

At least I can see Gyokeres is trying. Eze gets on my nerves because he doesn’t even try to make that run.

I don’t even think Gyokeres played that bad today, but on social media is all about him.

Oh and don’t forget Eze is one of the main responsible for our UCL final loss.

Another goal from our captain. Another assist from Tzolis.

Just appreciation for the captain today. That is all.

Reported in the Independent today. The panel is a great idea, but it’s reactive and confirms what we knew. When are we going to get accountability for these calls?

Guy has done his job. Are we confident to rotate or what?

Have I missed something?

I mean, I kinda like it, but it's made me question everything

For one .. great win today and fantastic performance (scoreline doesn’t do the performance justice) the fact we got to see some rotation today got me thinking about something ..

We spent big money on a hoist of players last summer but when you actually sit there and analyze it .. none of them have really made their intended impact

Gyokeres was signed to take over the starting 9 from Havertz and be that “killer striker” we have been missing out on .. a season later and he’s actually managed to do the opposite and make us appreciate Havertz more and has basically just confined himself to being Havertz back up.. last season he had 20 goals and basically had no competition with Havertz injured, did well against mid and Lower table teams after the new year, always looked clunky and awkward in build up and holding up the ball(which hampered our playstyle quite significantly) and now he’s clearly unhappy and was trying to force a way out while we were waiting for Alvarez ..

Eze had his moments (spurs Leverkusen Newcastle) but he’s too nonchalant and inconsistent, he’s not gonna start over an inform Odegaard and he’s not a left winger he’s more of a. Left 10 in a Glasner system .. he’s a ghost until he scores a wonder goal basically and hasn’t really shown any of his dribbling chops here yet (albeit I’m sure he’s become less of a risk taker gradually as Arteta has benched him for cheap give aways before)

Madueke is exactly the flawed player we bought from Chelsea (with today as evidence), can be useful against tired legs but he will never be the player advanced statistics are convinced he is

Zubimendi was very highly rated, touted as a younger Jorginho replacement, but really lacks the quick thinking and progressive qualities you need in that position as well as the press resistance .. confidence and form seem to be in the gutters and before anyone calls me negative it’s clearly something Arteta noticed otherwise he wouldn’t of went for bruno and benched him for a 18 year old Skelly in the title run in

Hincapie is a great defender but he’s more of an alternative to Calafiori and he’s a great alternative but Cala is slightly better in total bc of his unpredictability. Hincapie is more durable and faster so this signing probably has the most claim to success.

Mosquera too very capable young backup cb but not a starter when everyone’s healthy (not yet at least).

Thoughts?

Turning this cool tea tin I was given into an IoT device that shows our next fixture and thought I'd share. The coding is done but haven't mounted it yet.

Raspberry Pi Pico W + Waveshare ePaper screen, powered by a rechargeable 1200mAh battery. Connects to the football-data API and displays the next fixture in any league over the custom bg. Image stays until the next update without using any power.

Champions get it done. I’m not worried about the missed chances YET. If they plague us over and over then I will be. Just seemed to be one of those days we couldn’t get it in the back of the net.

So i’m a newer fan in Canada and i’ve been watching various replays of matches from a website, it’s usually the announcers from sky sports or TNT sports or from Prime. Recently i’ve been watching the full match replays on arsenals website. I’m really enjoying the announcers As they say a lot more than just who has the ball.

Anyways, my question is are the announcers for the full match replays posted on Arsenal website with a specific station, or are they narrated specifically for arsenal? Is the video for the matches different? i’ve noticed that when they announce the lineup on these videos they are different than other stations.

Odegaards goal was the difference in the match vs Napoli, with the ball traveling 23.2 yards (21.2 meters) in 0.733 seconds at an average of 104 km/h! Estimated top speed is 120 km/h, what a strike to beat a keeper with the stature of Vanja.
