ARDENT GOONER

Living and breathing Arsenal Football Club. Bringing Gooners together one post at a time. All Arsenal all the time.

Arsenal fans, would you still take an ugly 1-0 against Hull today?

[ARDENT GOONER @TheArsenalMind]

These Arsenal defenders in their prime. Who would you start?

[ARDENT GOONER @TheArsenalMind]

I wouldn't be surprised if Lewis Skelly becomes one of Arteta's most useful players for closing games.

We saw him trusted with that job at Anfield. There's something we barely talk about.

[ARDENT GOONER @TheArsenalMind]

When Saliba's back, I won't just watch our defending.

Watch how much braver everyone gets further up the pitch. One player can change the whole team without even touching the ball.

[ARDENT GOONER @TheArsenalMind]

27 points from our first ten games. Is it just me or does it still feel like we haven't played our best football yet?

There's genuinely so much more to come from this team.

[ARDENT GOONER @TheArsenalMind]

Konsa has 95% pass accuracy and not a single yellow card in 9 league games for Arsenal.

He makes defending look so easy. Honestly what a signing he's turning out to be.

[ARDENT GOONER @TheArsenalMind]

Rice has 5 league assists and every single one is from open play.

He's not just our engine anymore, he's turning into one of our biggest creators.

[ARDENT GOONER @TheArsenalMind]

Pochettino has a USA contract until 2030. Why leave that for United sitting 18th?

That's a pretty big gamble for him.

[ARDENT GOONER @TheArsenalMind]

Havertz 15 offsides in the league. Gyokeres 8 G/A in his last 10 starts overall. Why not start Viktor more?

He's my first choice striker.

[ARDENT GOONER @TheArsenalMind]

People calling us boring with 27 points from ten games. Are we seriously meant to complain?

I'm enjoying every single win.

[ARDENT GOONER @TheArsenalMind]

If Arsenal need to sacrifice a midfielder I'd honestly sell Merino before Zubimendi.

Zubi is younger and I'd back him to offer us more in the long run.

[ARDENT GOONER @TheArsenalMind]

Glad the Gyokeres exit talk seems quiter. Is Arteta finally starting to trust him?

Got a feeling he'll be huge and might become Arteta's first choice striker.

[ARDENT GOONER @TheArsenalMind]

Kroupi and Endrick are both being linked with Arsenal.

If you could pick one, who are you taking? 🤔

[ARDENT GOONER @TheArsenalMind]

Nwaneri is barely playing at Dortmund now. What's the point of keeping him there?

I'd honestly bring him back in January.

[ARDENT GOONER @TheArsenalMind]

Junior Kroupi could cost close to £100m.
Would you take him at that price, Arsenal fans?

[ARDENT GOONER @TheArsenalMind]

Rice's new deal should make him Arsenal's highest paid player. Who deserves it more?
Honestly nobody in this squad for me.

[ARDENT GOONER @TheArsenalMind]

Bruno Guimaraes is going back to St. James' Park as an Arsenal player.

Won't lie, I want him to score there and celebrate. Is it too much to ask for?

[ARDENT GOONER @TheArsenalMind]

I actually wish Arsenal were playing City this weekend.
They're all over the place right now. Giving them three weeks to sort themselves out feel like a favour.

[ARDENT GOONER @TheArsenalMind]

We used to scare teams every time we won a corner.

Now we're barely scoring from them. What's happened to our set pieces?

[ARDENT GOONER @TheArsenalMind]

Zubimendi to Atletico, Julian Alvarez to Arsenal. That's the rumour.

Would you take that, Arsenal fans? 👀

[ARDENT GOONER @TheArsenalMind]

Arsenal have Newcastle away straight after the international break, then Man City at home.

Newcastle worries me more. St. James Park is the last place to be after finding our rhythm.
