Artetaball. These are all clips of some of the brilliant football Arsenal have played under Arteta. (A THREAD)

That Arteta stare down and words to Dowman after the red was nasty work. It’s different rules for certain players, wouldn’t do the same to Havertz, can’t even call him out for missing chances in pressers.

At least I was entertained, that’s all that matters, I was served a delicious meal this evening

That's absolutely class from Gyokeres fair play, phenomenal goal all round, have to applaud that, RHS Rice as well

The sad thing is that it was a guaranteed goal for Kane as well when he stepped to the penalty spot, because he's clocked Raya jumping early for pens. Did the same in 2024 at the Emirates, Kane knows he's always gonna bite for the stutter.

Bro Neuer and Raya are having a save-off, I'm on my feet, this is what real football is about

Really goes unnoticed some of the subtle things Saka does like holding the ball under contact and being a mini outlet in that sense. Generates such good football as well. You fully realize all of this when you lose him.

He shouldn’t face any punishment for being based. So many people did this in the USA and got away with it. And rightfully so.

Tzolis in these away games is gonna be a massive problem this season, he just can’t keep playing them or he’s gonna keep getting exposed physically

Trying to transition effectively with a Tzolis, Ødegaard, Saka, Havertz frontline, I laughed

Our lack of transition threat and quality in attack really comes to the fore in games like this. That Saka chance and Brighton scoring straight after sums it up. If only we had a chance to address that in the transfer window 🤷‍♂️

This is literally a rerun of our game against Brighton at the Amex last season, only difference is we got lucky for our bad performance, this time we haven’t

We might've actually downloaded capitalizing and scoring from winning the ball in the press OOP...

Every pass from Bruno G is directed and pointed with a purpose behind it from anywhere on the pitch, but mostly in the second phase and final third. We've needed this for too long. Too many guys don't play that ball to Saka.

BRUNO GUIMARAESSSSSS

What can't Brobbey hold up? Everything sticks like glue, I'm sitting here hoping at least one ball won't stick. It's so difficult to sustain pressure when the other team's CF can do this on a regular.

This Konsa guy is a duel machine, he might be our best dueler in the squad, this guy doesn't let anything get past him, it's ridiculous

Saka has never been an elite finisher, but this hamstring injury has exposed him to more of the shooting like a baby moments with no power or conviction, it's sad. Still gotta call it out regardless any other attacker and we'd be killing them for this. It has been embarrassing.

Hojlund's hold up play seems to have improved tenfold since leaving United. He's no longer wrestling CBs and actually properly pinning them and having the ball stick consistently. Gyokeres should take notes.

This KDB guy just doesn't rest man, he tried running back the 22/23 goal against us at the Etihad

This ‘you’re not a woman’ argument doesn’t follow because by the same logic, nobody who isn’t Palestinian or from Israel can talk about the genocide in Gaza. Or nobody can speak about slavery since we’re not slaves. You can speak about things that don’t directly affect you.
