We really need an amazing finisher. We'd end the match like 4-0.

Agreed. That feels like the missing piece of the puzzle.
So many chances squandered today, it could've easily been 6
Emile could do it back in the day, hoping he'll get back to that when we need him
Overall a very good performance. I feel like all the ingredients are there, it's just getting the right amount of each to achieve that perfection Arteta is dreaming of.
I was surprised that we didn’t get PGMOL’d on the Jesus goal.
Arteta got booked for waving though 😡
Waving at Martinelli 😏
Was only able to watch the replay last night.
- I see Lalana is still a dirty, cheating bastard.
- And the refs are still as inconsistently shite as ever. So flagrantly hacking down Saka repeatedly is fine, but a bit of a tug on a shirt is unacceptable.
- Big Gabi was immense. He had Ferguson in his pocket for the 90+ mins. I know Saliba got a lot of praise, and yes he did very well. But I thought Big Gabi was even better.
- Saka was also immense, and unlucky not to have scored. Even with them double-manning him he was still causing them a lot of problems on the wing. How he repeatedly exploited pockets between their fullback and centreback, and ghosting around Milner was fantastic.
- Speaking of Milner, how the fuck is he still being played as a fullback in the PL at 37? Saka was rinsing him for fun. I can maybe see him still having a role for a smaller club, but surely more in a defensive mid position, where's his ability to read the game works well but he's not facing skillful speed merchants all the time.
- Ode was very good in build-up play and recycling the ball, but his shooting was off.
- Eddie's positioning is very good, as ever. And I'm impressed with his burgeoning ability to find teammates with very good passes.
- Good to see Gabi J is finding his confidence and showing his skills more again.
- Rice, holy shit what a player we have! I never cease to be amazed by how well-rounded he is.
- "Sixty million down the drain, Kai Havertz scores again!" He's getting a little better every match he plays. Love to see it.
