huge win! i can't remember the last time we started an EPL campaign with 6 points after two matches. you can still see how badly we need Aouar, but the fact that we found a way to get the second goal and then hold the lead is huge. COYG!! 🔴

This is the type of game we’d lose or draw last season. Come on and hold.

Both of these. Six points from six. Great start to the season. 
 

Oh, and fuck you nbc for putting the Liverpool match on that fucking Peacock

I was listening to the Football Show this morning and they said Ozil is still on the team.  Who knew?

We should loan him to a team in a 3rd world shithole for no fee until he decides to cancel his contract or until it ends.

i don't think there's a place in the team for him as long as we're playing with our current formation. 3 ATB + 2 wide players; two CM's with defensive responsibilities; two wingers; a striker. there's just no position that he fits within that structure. it could be that simple.

Couldn’t watch (fuck off, NBC) but did follow along with a few MBMs.  Most previous Arsenal sides would’ve capitulated after Liverpool went ahead and lost 4 or 5-1. This side battled the whole way and had a few good chances to level. Their third apparently was a handball that VAR missed. All losses suck, but we look to be improved over last year, and most importantly in the “intestinal fortitude” department.

Great win at Anfield finally. Leno is the MOTM, he shut Liverpool down and we won it on penalties. Too many wanted Martinez  but Leno is our starter in the net. Love that confident smile.

Let's hope the Partey deal gets finalized (finally). We've been missing a Gilberto-type MF for quite a while. I was fearing we'd let the window close without strengthening the squad, so this is very welcome news.

Most fans fault Kroenke for being an absentee owner, not wanting or willing to put any of his money into the club. But I suspect he wanted to see if the club, and Arteta could fix the club, make the right decisions, and the hard ones to turn the club around. Well, they got the job done as well as possible. This article strongly suggests Kroenke saw they did, and he came up with the money for Partey's release clause. The club didn't have the $59 million for this, so I strongly agree with the article.

Did Kroenke sanction the Party deal to keep Arteta at Arsenal?

It is clear that Ozil will never play another minute for Arsenal. Which leaves two questions to be answered. What did Ozil ever say/do to Arteta to be put in this doghouse? And why won't he agree to go to another team and actually play the sport he lives for?

I actually really like the guy and think he is still one of the premier players in England, but I have gotten tired of all the stories on a player we never see play anymore.

I don't think it is necessarily a problem with Arteta.  There have been photos/videos from recent trainings where it looks like Arteta and Ozil are on good terms.  I assume there are appearance/performance bonuses built into Ozil's contract that the club just doesn't want to pay . . . otherwise the whole situation makes no sense at all.

Emery, Freddie, and Arteta now have all three independently had Ozil in the dog house, so there must be something there. That said, Ozil doesn't want to leave because he and his wife love London and he's making insane money to live there and train. my guess is he goes to Turkey for 2-3 years after this, and then maybe wraps up his career in the MLS.

They should really just drop Ozil from the roster so he can't train with the team and keep his skills up. He can either cancel his contract and sign elsewhere or continue to collect an Arsenal check while his skills slide.

I’ve been optimistic about this match and not only because it is on NBC and not their Peacock bullshit. 

Lineup: Leno, Bellerin, Holding, Gabriel, Tierney, Ceballos, Xhaka, Saka, Willian, Pepe, Aubameyang. Partey named as a sub. City are without De Bruyne but Agüero returns. 
 

I’m feeling optimistic...2-1 to The Arsenal.

GOYG!!!
