Torreira is unbelievably good. What a signing. Especially when you see what we paid for him verse what players like Faninho, Fred, and Jorginho cost.

I had to leave at half, how was the 2nd half? I saw they fell down and got a late equalizer?

Torreira was a baller in the first half. Backline still got caught out of position a few times again. Leno did not look that solid at the back. I liked the amount of chances the squad created. The work rate, and the team playing scrappy and tough was a great sign. So many times in the past Arsenal were push overs to the opposition, and they would get rattled far too easily and simply break if they underwent any amount of pressure/shots against.

We looked good. I'm seriously impressed. It's a tie, but I was just praying for a top 4 finish. frick that, we can play with anyone.

I'm fully on the Emery train.

Looks like he got his braces off. He is unbelievably good. I might get ripped for saying this, but he is on Kante's level. He is what Flamini would have been if he was good at soccer.

So I was finally able to watch the game yesterday. Really happy with the center defenders and the way they played which you don’t hear a lot. You have to wonder how long the Auba- Laca combo will last. It’s great rn bc we are winning but we have our best striker out of position. That being said he is still scoring goals which says a lot about his talent.

We really struck gold with Torreira. The pairing of he and Xhaka is something to look forward to going forward. That tackle in the 31’ was amazing.

Also over the past few games I have noticed there are some players that look the other way even if Ramsey is wide open on the pitch. Idk if there’s a rift in the locker room with him or lack of general trust but I’ve seen it when he is with the first team lately.

We haven't lost a match that Torreira has started. He is the best signing we have made, probably since Koscielny.

Like seeing Jenko back in these matches.

Put me down for another Smith-Rowe tally tonight.

Looks like Welbeck has a pretty serious injury. He looks to be in a lot of pain.

Guendouzi looks like he is in pain just watching the trainers work on Welbeck.

Really hate that for Danny. If it’s as bad as it looks there’s a decent chance that’s the last time we ever see him in an Arsenal shirt :/

Our fullbacks have been cursed by injuries this year. It's crazy.

Yep, Lichsteiner off with an injury now. The stress is real.

I saw a picture of Welbeck’s injury. External rotation of the ankle is bad. External rotation injuries are associated with badness like “high” ankle sprains (a syndesmosis injury) which can take a player out for a while. The angulation of his foot looked pretty extreme. I wouldn’t be surprised if it wasn’t a fracture/dislocation. He is going to be out for a good spell if it’s as bad as it looked.

ETA Emery saying he broke something, which is obvious enough from the above picture.

Nelson scored again for Hoffenheim.

kid is going to be a serious player, wouldn’t be surprised if we recalled him in January.
