If Saka gets one more assist he’ll have the most at a single World Cup of any England player ever.
He’s played only 180 minutes and is badly injured.
Madness.
The thing is everyone wants Arsenal fans to “admit you got away with one”
But then they’ll tell you this isn’t a penalty
You can’t expect Arsenal fans to engage is honest discourse if you won’t do it yourselves
To think that some people felt that Arsenal were bottlers. More like battlers. They ground out another win, this time over a dogged Burnley, to take them to within touching distance of a first Premier League title in 22 years. If not quite the Invincibles – Arsene Wenger's record-breakers were a better side – this team of Mikel Arteta’s are certainly the Indomitables.
They keep facing down adversity, injury, challenges, obdurate opponents. They are not always the greatest to watch, unless Bukayo Saka is weaving his way into the area, twisting left-backs inside out, but they are supremely resilient. Players stood up to counted under pressure. David Raya in goal. Gabriel at centre-back. Declan Rice, the best player in the league this season, shielding the defence and driving Arsenal forward.
Viktor Gyokeres, maligned initially, now celebrated for his 14 goals in this league campaign. Arsenal’s spine has been strong. Arteta rotated well. Kai Havertz started and scored against Burnley. Arteta subbed well. Havertz removed quickly after risking a red with a dangerous challenge.
So close now. Arsenal will deserve this title for holding their nerve when so many questioned them. #AFC
That header to bamboozle the standing defender is Pure Lionel Messi.
That slight sidestep to go against the onrushing defender is Pure Lionel Messi
Running the length of the pitch with the ball without losing speed is Pure Lionel Messi.
All are Leo-like mannerisms.
@InvertTheWing It’s crazy how you big up every team against us. Tell us we’re weak in every position and how everyones better than us. And when we win the games you act like it’s nothing. It’s so fascinating. You might genuinely be the shitted game analyser on here
