I was worried with no Hincapie that Cala would have to start.

Nice to see both he and Saka get some rest. Like seeing Gyok get some run, and that is definitely a very different midfield.

Took 35+ minutes to finally start breaking them down.
Merino did get a great open header from center of the box, but right at the keeper. Mainly it's been a bunch of crosses from Madueke but none all that threatening.
Thought Eze was poor, Gyok barely involved, Bruno & Rice not doing much in transition and attack either. Merino with a yellow probably means halftime sub or very early 2nd half.

Lille literally can't keep possession this 2nd half, they look gassed already. Time wasting every chance they get, but Arsenal aren't even remotely close to doing anything with the ball.

They finally break through, simple pass from Madueke out wide to Timber inside the box, nifty first touch opened up an angle to shoot and he slides it past the keeper.

Triple change, Havertz, Ode, Saka, unsurprising. Not sure if Eze, and Bruno/Rice also get subbed off next.

Saka's first touch of the ball is an assist to Eze, really fast counter from a poor give away around 35 yards out. Eze had been pretty much terrible till that goal lol.

Much more fluid play with Saka, Havertz, Odegaard and White.

The other guys were painful to watch but they still got the goal and most likely would have won the game anyway.

It was complete domination especially as the game went on. Lille were pretty ineffective

The 2nd half Lille just rolled over, they couldn't string 3 passes together, and could never get out their own half. That said, Arsenal still struggled breaking them down until the great touch from Timber. Then after the goal the crowd really got into it, along with the subs bringing some energy as well.

Much better if we weren’t dropping points up north.
Top 8 not looking great with our current form.

Don’t go too much anymore but I should be on Banks for 10/21

That 1st half was perfect for Arsenal, as far as shitting on City confidence, but then my goodness the 2nd half they have absolutely steamrolled PSG. Could easily have 6 goals.

Glad to see Odegaard healthy again. He was in a bad place last year.

Might be our best player so far this year, and I've been one of his biggest critics

COYG

Not really any runners up top, which could be an issue (assuming this isn't a low block from Forest)

Very clearly an issue so far with Forest in a midblock

Set piece efforts have been woeful this year. I don't even remember almost scoring from one (other than the Gabriel backheel this game)
