Jesus obviously gets MOTM for his wonderful goal and even more wonderful assist but, its hard to overstate how good Saliba, Rice, and Tomi were that game.

I am sorry but Ramsdale has GOT to come back into the team.

Tomiyasu, what a player. I feel like only Arsenal fans and Japanese fans understand how good this guy really is.

Did the Emirates Stadium Tour a couple of years ago, and Charlie George was our guide. Someone asked him who his favourite current player is, and he said we should keep our eyes on Tomiyasu, because he felt he was the real deal.

Tomiyasu is the better option in that inverting role than Zinchenko in big games. Doing less is more in this case. Tomiyasu knows the purpose of inverting is to help the midfielders not replace them. Zinchenko always tries to be the focal point of our buildup and it’s always a sign of arsenal playing poorly if he’s seeing too much of the ball. It backfires easily as well because he overestimates his ability on the ball and dawdles in possession and ends up losing it cheaply or playing a shit pass. Tomiyasu knows his limits, keeps it simple, and moves the ball quicker. Plus him and Zinchenko is like heaven and hell in terms of defensive ability.

Martinelli, Rice, and Tomiyasu all on the left is as solid as you can get defensively.

Big respect to the Sevilla fans at the stadium today. UNREAL atmosphere and you guys kept it going throughout.
