Jesus need to get one early this half to put the game away and get his confidence back on track.

REISS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Nelson! Perfect start to second half. 2 nil!

Good goal. Looks much better today than in his last appearance. He isnt a 1v1 dribbler like our other wings but maybe he can be useful if everyone adjusts to that.

Awesome! Brace for Nelson! 3 nil!

REISS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Again

Holy sheet that was an amazing pass from Jesus

I know we want Jesus to get a goal, but you have to pull him now. Cannot risk a card.

PARTEY TIME

(And now Reiss has an assist)

Partey! Rocket from outside the box! 4 nil! Game set match!

Pull Jesus and Gabriel.

Good to see Cedric back and healthy

Jesus going 90 again

Viking Goal!!!

Odegaard! Everybody gets a goal! 5 nil!

Weird week for Forest. Beat Liverpool. Give up a brace to Reiss Nelson.

Back on top of the table! Outstanding second half!

Partey was so good today.

20 more wins to go.

Jesus didn't get a goal but got a couple quality assists!

I think the difference between Partey's good & bad shots has to do with how he is taking them. All of his nice long shots have been instep shots that he is placing. All of his skied shots have been with his lace.

Okay, can the TWO managers who captained Reiss Nelson please come forward? 🤯

Also, do you have next week's lottery numbers? 🔢#FPL #ARSNFO pic.twitter.com/SCi7rW4Naj

Rough one for Arseblog and others intentionally gunning for last place

Fun match to watch. I feel like we are all being rewarded for staying fans through the last several seasons.

We survived a very rough October. 7-1-1 with the one loss being in the Europa League is awesome. Keep it up.

January is the next rough patch, although every week is a challenge.

Discussion from another forum that I thought would be worth bringing over here...

Early in the season KT started playing as an inverted LB. Personally I thought he handled the change in tactics well. In his last several appearances he is back to playing the "glued to the sidelines" role and providing the left sided width in attack. The problem with this is...

1) in this role, Xhaka then has to drop back and play more defensively or we risk being exposed on the left on the counter
2) none of the guys that we are playing on the left mesh well with this style as they are asked to be the left half space instead of the wide option and they are all either better wide (Martinelli/ESR) or generally not ideal fits on the wing (Eddie)

I'm curious why we started playing him inverted and then fell back to his old style. Was Arteta unhappy with his performance inverted or was KT uncomfortable in the role? If he can/will not adjust should we move him on in the summer and bring in another inverted option?

Arteta clearly feels Tomiyasu is more adept at moving in centrally during the attack…and maybe having all that center back experience, Tomiyasu is a little more comfortable getting away from the sideline. When KT is coming on, Arteta is using that as a chance to provide a different look and let KT storm down the wing. Having turned White into a fullback, Arteta's developing a trend.

Bottom line is KT looks like a guy trending the exits at this point, save the big contract. And the longer term answer is for Zinchenko to get healthy and play the inverted left back and let Xhaka go full steam ahead on the attack

Edit-And until Jesus gets more clinical again we need Martinelli getting in front of goal more often.

Auston Trusty scored a wild goal for Birmingham earlier this week…3rd of the season!

My 22 year old son has been a Jets fan since he was like 9 for some inexplicable reason and this season has been pretty good for him (although I'm just now remembering that they blew it yesterday after roughing the passer on a pick 6.)

Glad you guys are having a taste of success this season. Hope you can continue to hold off the blue sportswashing club.

Anyone remember Stuart Robson? He had a long career with Arsenal and was in the radio booth after his playing days.

His playing days with Arsenal ended before I was born but certainly know him as a commentator...and big Arsenal critic...

Interesting. I went to Brentwood School with him, although I was a year or two younger than him. I remember what a big deal it was for him to sign with Arsenal as a "schoolboy." I would not say we knew each other that well, but it was a small school so we all knew who everyone was and often crossed paths in one way or another.

Very cool. How'd a schoolboy in Essex end up at Texas A&M?

Seeing that Saka might not have much of an injury, just a hard kick that probably left a good bruise and some soreness. Anyone seen anything different?

I'm actually a Houston kid who went to boarding school in Essex for 8th, 9th, and 10th grades.
