Arsenal FC | 2025/26 Season

Dam! Saka injured

Hopefully he will be back for Liverpool game

Arsenal do enjoy hammering promoted teams, i think they broken Chelsea record for longest unbeaten run vs promoted sides.

I was at the game earlier. I was sat at the clock end so I had a good view of the goals scored by Timber and Saka during the first half.

Great to see Gyokeres get off the mark. There’s no reason why he can’t score 20+ goals.

Cali produced 2 assists so credit to Arteta for opting for him over MLS at LB. Timber was on fire in front of goal as well.

The downside and it’s a big one! We might end up going to Anfield without Saka, Odegaard and Havertz. Squad depth will be tested.

On a other note - come on Bees!

Good Ebening @shaz619

Viktor Gyokeres scored his first Arsenal goals as the Gunners put five past Leeds after unveiling new £60m signing Eberechi Eze before kick-off.

It was a jubilant atmosphere in north London as Eze was introduced to the crowd before the game and the energetic crowd seemed to give the team a lift.

Jurrien Timber scored the opening goal, heading in a trademark set piece before providing an assist for Bukayo Saka for Arsenal's second.

Saka smashed a shot past Lucas Perri just before half-time but then the England winger was forced to limp off injured in the second half.

Striker Gyokeres, a £64m signing, jinked into the box to score Arsenal's third with a low strike before Timber scored his second from another corner.

Mikel Arteta also handed a Premier League debut to 15-year-old Max Dowman, who replaced Noni Madueke, who had been making his first start for the Gunners.

Dowman had an immediate impact, winning a penalty after being brought down by Anton Stach and Gyokeres slammed the ball into the bottom corner with almost the last kick of the game.

Dowman became the second youngest player to play for the club at 15 years and 234 days old, only behind his team-mate Ethan Nwaneri who made his debut at 15 years 181 days in September 2022 against Brentford.

Arteta will be concerned though by the injury to Saka, while he was also forced to replace Martin Odegaard in the first half after his captain limped off with an injury on his 200th appearance for the Gunners.

Leeds were outclassed for most of the match and only really threatened the Arsenal goal once when Pascal Struijk had a header saved by Raya.

Next few weeks will show how good squad depth is with us having few injuries.

Saka would be huge blow, but I guess Madueke or Nwaneri can be used there. I don't want to see trossard or Martinelli starting

Eze can then either be used in the 10 or wide left.

Last 3 games at Anfield in league we have played well in 1 half and then been poor in 1 half. No shock all 3 games were drawn. Whilst very few teams go to Anfield and dominate for a whole game. The midfield and moving ball around quickly will be needed as Liverpool can be got at on transition.

Odegaard and havertz won't be missed, they don't turn up in big PL games. We have others in squad who can step in and do a job

We need to be going to Anfield under the belief we can win. Sadly you have some fans celebrating the fact we have drawn last 3 games there like that's an achievement.

Next weekend is go make a statement and win at your rivals.

Gooners can smell the title

Its in the bag!

Gyokeres’ first goal was so good. The kind of positive goal I wanted him to score and that penalty was ruthless.

The miss was horrendous though.

It looks horrendous but in all fairness he was on the back foot so to steer into the net wasn’t as easy as it looked.

 

[Mamoon]

Gyokeres + Eze = £130m

Wirtz + Ekitike = £195m

Incredible business by Arsenal.

 

[Mamoon]

How is Zubimendi. One of the best midfielders in the world without any doubt.

A nice shut up call to the delusional clowns who claimed that he will need time to adjust to the PL. When you are good, you are good. You don’t need time to adjust. It is a myth.

He has slotted in perfectly. What a complete midfielder.

You add Zubimendi to this and all three still cost less than Wirtz and Ekitike.

Wirtz no doubt one of the best in Europe. That just shows your lack of footballing IQ.

Youve Jumped to a conclusion after just one Game.

I have forgotten more about football than you will ever learn. I don’t need lectures on football from people like you.

Wirtz is not a value for money signing, he is also going to disrupt Liverpool’s balance especially if they sign Isak.

Liverpool didn’t need Wirtz, he is not worth the price they have paid for him, and he shines only in very specific setups which Liverpool is unlikely to provide him.

I am ready to stick my neck on the line here and state that he will be the most expensive flop of the summer.

Feel free to call me out in May if this statement fails to stand the test of time.

Eze, Cherki and Reijnders are all superior signings than Wirtz.

There was never any doubt. I knew he’d be an upgrade on Partey in defensive midfield.

Only some of the African fans on social media were crying about the loss of Partey. I’m glad he’s gone. Whilst he was great off the ball, Zubimendi is far superior on it.

No one does cringe better than Arsenal fans.
