Odegaard is a breath of Fresh air.
Him, Saka and Smith Rowe are our most penetrating players since a long time.
Yep and Tiereney as well.

AFTV's Claude has passed away. He was the best of that bunch. Really sad to hear about this.
Yep, devastating. Has been struggling with depression and mental health issues for a long time. He often tweeted or said suicidal things casually as if they were normal.
Claude had mental health issues for some time. The only thing keeping him going was going to Arsenal matches and appearing on AFTV. Unfortunately, because of the pandemic and lockdown, he couldn’t go to matches anymore. And he got kicked off AFTV, because he said “DVD” in relation to Tottenham’s Son and apparently that is offensive to Asians.
He is yet again another victim of this ** woke cancel culture. I feel so bad that he was suffering alone in his final days. Even as a non Arsenal fan, I respect him so much. He was a genuine Arsenal fan who didn’t care about fame unlike the other clowns on AFTV like DT, Troopz. May he rest in peace.
why would a DVD be offensive to Asians? Perhaps a local reference?
David Luiz faces a spell on the sidelines with a knee injury that may require surgery, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed.
The 33-year-old was absent from Arsenal's 3-0 defeat against Liverpool on Saturday with a knee problem but did play the full 90 minutes when the Gunners drew 3-3 with West Ham before the international break.
Luiz will definitely miss the next few weeks according to Arteta, as the club discuss with doctors whether the Brazilian defender requires surgery.
Arteta did make some errors in terms of team selection and subs but these players are absolute joke. Lacazette continually missing chances, Willian performing poorly, and errors at the back.
No just this game, he's made glaring errors in countless games.
Partey
Tierney
Gabriel
Saliba
Martnelli
Saka
Smith Rowe
These are the only first team players I am desperate to keep. This is the size of the job Arteta has, most of this square we need to get rid of. This is a 3/4 transfer window clear out and incomings. There are some players who i would be ok with keeping bug a majority of this squad needs replacing.
I have heard Arteta will get a new contract. So he is not going anywhere anytime soon. I hope KSE will back him in the transfer market. And I hope Edu and the scouting team are upto the job.
I don't get the blind praise for Partey. If that was Xhaka, everyone would be on his case.
Speaking of Xhaka, he's been terrific for us of late.
Partey is a top class player. He will come good trust me.
Xhaka has been great recently, his limitations hold us back and he makes too many mistakes. He won’t be sold in the summer which I can live with. But we need a better player than him to partner Partey long term.
Bro from what I've seen of these two, it is Xhaka who we desperately need to retain. Partey has been horrible and I fear he's going to be another flop of signing for us.
When you take Partey out, have you seen how crap our midfield looks lol? I think he is still coming back from his injury.
Not sure if you guys have watched it but thoughts?

I'm not convinced it's any better with him in it but I'd be glad to be proven wrong in the coming months.
I have watched it.
Whilst I fear there is more to this Aubameyang situation, I would not listen to Neville too much when it comes to Arsenal. He hardly watches us play and he says the same thing about us needing players which is common knowledge. Before the Liverpool game, we were playing well. If there was a disconnect, how did we come back from 3-0 against West Ham the previous game? We also did that with Pepe assisting a goal and Lacazette playing well. So the "little mafia" were on board 2 weeks ago, but 2 weeks later they aren't?
Just in terms of the Aubameyang situation, I worry that he is not happy with how Arteta threw him under the bus. He is a happy person so when he is not happy we can clearly see it. Him and Arteta need to sort their problems out. As no one will buy Aubameyang. He has 2 years left on his deal as well.

Hope Neville is proven wrong about the "disconnect" in the team.
Arteta must let Martinelli start for next Thursday's game.
As for Partey, time will tell but his form has been very worrying.
It's quite simple.
With the players we have we should be in the top 6 at the very least.

[MENTION=147314]topspin[/MENTION], did you see that turn and ball from Thomas Partey?
A world class midfielder.
Brilliant assist for Lacazette’s second goal. A much better display from him today but lets not forget this is the bottom side of the PL who have lost 25 of their 31 games.
I want to see a strong response from him on Thursday so we can make it to the semis of the Europa League.
Do you think Aubameyang should start for the second leg?
It’s not about the opponent there, it was about Parteys quality. Plus we have seen him dominate Liverpool’s midfield when he was at Atletico.
I would not start Aubameyang. Lacazette played well so keep him upfront, play Martnelli on the left. Don’t think Auba and Laca play well together, so I would rotate them at CF dependent on form and opposition.
I think a better opposition may have anticipated that ball from Partey a lot better. I won't be convinced until he can deliver against better teams. Performances against Sheffield Utd don't count for much because I can't imagine what their mental state must be like having lost 80% of their PL games this season.
First, I want to see him make amends on Thursday. Lets see what he can do on a cold night in Prague when the stakes are high.
I agree Auba and Laca have never been in a combination that has worked well for us. Laca is slow and lacks pace but he's in better form. Auba just seems disinterested going by his body language.
No, you shouldn't. Man City, Man United, Tottenham, Chelsea, Liverpool & Leicester all have a better team than Arsenal. I would say even Everton have a better team. You guys should be finishing around 8-9, which I think you will. There is only so much Arteta can do with this bunch of players.
The only criticism I have of Arteta is that his style of play is very negative and defensive. I thought that someone who worked under Pep Guordiola for so long would play attacking football, but he is just so bloody negative.
That surely can't be your only criticism of Arteta?
The most glaring mistakes have been in his selections.
He finally went with youth, even though that was the way forward, when he had absolutely no other options left.
It's no coincidence that the Europa League team that was averaging three goals per match contained 8 youngsters in it, three of whom have now been loaned out.
We need to spend big on a striker and possibly another centre back but I am convinced that we have the players to finish top 6 afterall we have done better this season against other top 6 teams then we have in a decade and yet find ourselves mid table.
I’m not an Arsenal fan, so I am giving my opinion as a neutral. I’m assuming you are an Arsenal fan, so you know more than I do regarding Arteta.
I agree what you are saying about youngsters though. I can’t for the life of me understand why Willian was signed, let alone played every single game. Even giving Aubameyang such a massive contract extension at his age was a big mistake.

Promising signs from Arsenal. They will challenge for the title next season.
[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] Did you get a chance to watch this?
As promised here it is.
As promised here it is.
They watch Arsenal live once every month or so, they over reacted after 1 bad poor performance.
