@SCORCH congratulations. With the best player on the planet, the best manager and the best defense anything less than the treble would be a complete shock:ehh:

That was scrappy.

Arteta doing everything to make sure Xhaka walks right back into the starting lineup.

Saka needs to rest. Burnley tried their best to out physical us, but we stood tall.

I disagree. If anything this game was testament to the rotating pivot of ESR and Odegaard with Partey sitting right in the circle. Even bringing on Sambi/AMN is a good sign. I thought Odegaard would be muzzled playing further back, but he looked as good as I've seen him.

Saka does need rest and Auba isn't the #9 for this set up. I'd much prefer Lacazette because he does more dropping back and allowing the wings to attack.

AMN looks good since coming on. Tomi looking like Nacho Monreal levels of dependability

Arsenal got no goal scorers in their team.

The spring in Aubas legs have gone. He doesn't even do the somersault celebration on the recent goals I've seen him score.

You and I have been proven right to sell Auba when he was scoring goals and they called us mad. :sas2:

What happened to Sterling?

Strong possibility that he has peaked. He hasn't been really good since before Rona. He's in his 11th season as a pro. 10th as a regular first team player. Nearly clocked up 500 appearances (he should get there in the next couple of fixtures)and isn't even 27 till December.

Could it have anything to do with David Silva not being there any more? They have not been able to replace him.
