    The keeper handled the ball after a back pass stopping it going over the line. Shouldn't that be a red card?

    Chalk and cheese between Gabriel and Mari for me.

    Why Arteta was picking Mari ahead of Gabriel for the Villareal game I will never understand.

    I will add, Mari was okay in that game, but he shouldn't be playing ahead of Gabriel imo.

    I’d have his handling of Gabriel in with that of Martinelli. Gabriel could be a leader of this team makes no sense

    How many times has Partey given the ball away?. This was not what I expected when he was brought in.

    It's not what we saw from him in the early stages either. His form has fallen off a cliff

    I'm not sure what the rules are on that, and for all I know they've changed from what they used to be.

    If I remember correctly though if the keeper picked it up from a passback wasn't it just an indirect free kick? Seeing as we scored from the passage of play I'm guessing is why the ref just left it.

    Who knows though, that rule has probably changed down the years.

    indeed.

    this tactic only works against the top teams(see arteta's record, its better than wenger and emery) but against a bang average side like villariale, na mate we cant be playing like that

    Partey is rubbish. He either completely slows play down and kills any chance of an attack, or gives the ball away in a dangerous area.

    Don't know why I'm nervous here.

    If Chelsea score three goals in the last five minutes here it literally doesn't matter at all.

    He's made a couple of very important clearances and seems to have played well generally apart from one or two slip ups.

    I guess the expectation was always that we would still beat the relegation fodder while competing with the top teams.

    Presume Tuchel rested so many players due to the FA cup final. That could backfire on him yet.

    exactly!!

    I was gunna point out the fact that since dec, we have been good!

    i cannot believe people here want arteta out. we have been better since we played chelsea at the emirates!

    And like i said, i can count 3-4 league games were we dominated and should have won had it not been due to VAR/individual errors

    In any podcast about Arsenal this year they basically divide our season into pre and post Stephens Day and rightly so I guess

    First win at Stamford Bridge in 10 years. First win at Old Trafford in 16 years. 3rd best defence in the league.

    As Rafa would say. FACT!

    Look lads and ladies, I'm not saying tonight was brilliant, far from it. We rode Lady Luck a few times, but the team and the manager got an awful lot right too. This is one of the reasons why, I am strongly in favour of keeping Mikel in charge for the next half season at least.

    Take the old "best since Christmas" thing that Arsene used to have hung over him too.

    Let's see what the summer squad looks like. If the owners do f*** all, then we are just hanging our worn out clothes on a dirty washing line. As my mammy used to say.

    Another way of looking at it, thank god we picked up form when we did. I think we have developed no identity in terms of the type of football we are trying to play, or perhaps we don't have the players to implement the City style where everyone on the field has to touch the ball. This is something Arteta needs to remedy. In many senses, the FA Cup win last year bought him a lot of credit in the bank. Perhaps crowds returning in the future might help also, but I think he is trying to turn a silk purse into a sow's ear.

    You do have to balance those facts with the ones where teams picked up there first ever wins at the Arsenal, we had a few of them too. We also had some worst run stats

    That said his record with the big 6 is excellent.

    Whether we want him in or out the club are clear he starts next season so we just got to sit back and hope it works. Being able to concentrate fully on the league next year would be interesting as he’d have so much coaching and rest time.

    Time will tell

    Thomas Partey tonight.

    Most tackles: 5
    Most interceptions: 3
    Most duels: 12
    Most ball recoveries 9

    Knew he had a good game

    Arteta deserves this summer transfer window and a run until December and then an assessment. I think with a rejuvenated squad and no stop starts, with crowds back, we can go places. A changing of the manager at this point in time is not the answer.

    ETA: Jamie Redknapp looks like he's ready to head off to the clubs!

    Ah I'm not convinced in him anymore. Playing in a crucial Europa semi-final without a striker was a huge eye-opener.

    I think his days are numbered. Would be gone long ago at either Chelsea or City. that said, nothing will change unless the Kroenkes are gone... it will be like the Abe Simpson walking in and hanging his coat gif. An endless cycle of mediocrity and repetition

    You expect that from him. He improved but in the first half in particular he gave the ball away a lot. Too many misplaced passes for me
