@ArsenalRadar Must keep him. A big reason Arsenal finally got over the line and he's only going to get better. His work rate around the pitch is phenomenal.

[James Vale @JamesVale6]

@GlobalWatchClub Love the Yacht-Master, absolutely hate this configuration. Honestly looks like a cheap knockoff.

[James Vale @JamesVale6]

@abreezySOL @AFC__Xtra Give it a rest. Why so you bench a striker who has scored more goals than anyone under Arteta, and took Atletico to pieces. Unless he was sick or something wrong with him, he helped win the Prem and get us over the line. Strikers thrive on confidence.

[James Vale @JamesVale6]

@AFC__Xtra Are Atletico a bottom Prem team cos he took them apart. Scored more goals all season that anyone else under Arteta as well but clearly was not a good game for him tonight

[James Vale @JamesVale6]

@AFC__Xtra Something was up with Gyokeres today, he looked very short of energy compared to previous games.

[James Vale @JamesVale6]

@nonewthing Give it a rest. Gyokeres scored more this season than anyone under Arteta, including Kai. He single handedly destroyed Atletico as well. Something was up, wasn't his best game and he looked short of energy but he stepped up first and nailed the penalty.

[James Vale @JamesVale6]

@AFTVMedia He has gotten better and better as he adapts here and the team adapt to him. The drive and energy he brings are immense as well, proper unit!

[James Vale @JamesVale6]

@DailyAFC Honestly we were great until Ben White went off and the crazy substitution. Stopped playing any sort of balls through to Gyokeres to run on to, and Saka was anonymous too. Better with Zubi going off, I'm tired of him in the team. Lucky to win that to be honest.

[James Vale @JamesVale6]

@Ar_senalXtra_ Started really well, baffling sub bringing on Zubi and moving Rice to right back. All gone to pot since then.

[James Vale @JamesVale6]

@PeakSxnti Been an absolute beast chasing everything down and is deadly running on to the through ball.

[James Vale @JamesVale6]

@ArsenalN7 Been excellent. His hold up play and passing have been immense, and his chasing through balls has made Atletico uncomfortable and led to the Saka goal.

[James Vale @JamesVale6]

@echo_emirates Gyokeres was giving us the high press and a physical focal point. Absolutely no clue what Arteta is thinking here.

[James Vale @JamesVale6]

@echo_emirates Absolutely!!! Second half we have had no possession or given it away. First half showed what Gyokeres can do when you play quick balls along the ground to him.

[James Vale @JamesVale6]

@AFC__Xtra Boggles the mind , what is he thinking?????

[James Vale @JamesVale6]

@AFTVMedia This isn't going to happen. You don't get rid of the guy who has scored more goals than anyone else under Arteta, in his first year in the team, in a system that isn't set up for him. The backwards and sideways passing needs to stop, won't matter who you put upfront otherwise.

[James Vale @JamesVale6]

@TheArsenalMind Sell Havertz, keep Gyokeres and play the ball through for him to run on to!

[James Vale @JamesVale6]

@sondesix Prefer the Oppo on all of except main camera where the iPhone looks better to me.

[James Vale @JamesVale6]

@ArsenalN10 If he gets the service and balls to run on to then absolutely, but the service to the front strikers has generally been rubbish as it's too slow and allows opposition to get too organised.

[James Vale @JamesVale6]

@jfshirts Absolutely!!!

[James Vale @JamesVale6]

@_ArsenalTeam Absolutely! Dude runs and chases everything, putting their defenders under pressure. If we get good ball for him to run on to he will score.
