Zinchenko was checked and was on.

City definitely raised the bar but to be fair, Arsenal ended 2002 with more points than City did last year. Arsenal I recall went on a 12 game win run or something. All ending with the

While we were watching greatness, Penaldo PR7 was busily failing to score on his debut against Arab plumbers and electricians

Seen a lot of Man u fans shytting on Weghorst but I thought he had a decent game.
Thought he had a lot of good touches that helped Man u get out and build in the first half.

He isn't a real goal threat tbh, but I think Ten Hag is trying to use him as a foil for the real wide goal threat in Rashford the same way France do with Giroud for Mbappe.

Obviously they need to upgrade eventually but I thought he did fine.

It’s not just that, he isn’t confident cutting onto his right foot for whatever reason. He adds that to his game and he becomes even more dangerous player.
I think the elephant in the room that Arsenal fans don't want to admit is that Martinelli is poor at scanning the field. I think his main issue is he keeps his head to the floor too often and doesn't scan enough because he gets a tunnel vision and he may not have the dribbling needed to beat defenders on one on ones. I think if he doesn't improve that part of his game he'll be losing that spot. It's starting to make sense why we were going to spend a lot on Mudryk because we need a real challenge for LW spot because Martinelli talent wise is tiers behind Saka, Saliba and Odegaard when talking about young talent. Anyways, I'm sure Arteta and company noticed that and will prob help him work on that aspect. I do feel he needs to step it up because if Eddie maintains form then I can see Jesus being moved to the left and taking his spot

Mudryk wasn’t being bought to challenge for the spot, he was straight up going to bench Martinelli
