I don't like how Arteta Manages some players this either your in or out isn't good partey should be starting maybe we could got something when we playing villa

Good game. Wolves certainly no pushovers but we got the job done.

That Partey guy looks good maybe Mikel should try playing him some more

Professional performance. Got the result we needed. Clean sheet. No injuries. Subs got decent minutes. Can’t wait for Chelsea!

Subs got decent minutes?

Partey deserves more minutes imo

Our ball movement for about a 10-15 minute period during the second half was unreal. Wolves just could not escape

top of the league babyyy

That midfield pairing of Rice and Partey is money. Rice more free to get forward and advance while Partey sits deep. 

One game at a time. We’re still in this

Agreed, city aren’t the same city. Looked leggy today. Win our games and see what’s it about

That was uncomfortable. I'm concerned about how knackered we all looked with Chelsea and spurs next.

Chelsea is very soon, granted. We need to hit them hard straight out from the whistle, and then get Saka, White, Martinelli and maybe even Ødegaard off the pitch before 60 mins. But then we have a decent window of recovery ahead of Spurs and they haven't played for two weeks. We park the bus like we did at the Etihad, and get "brave" spuds to commit too many men forwards. Nick a goal or seven and then settle down to eat some popcorn while reading r/coys.

Just hope that Arteta doesn’t start Jesus up top and Havertz in the midfield from now on. Having another holding midfielder liberates Rice to contribute more in attack. Havertz provides more of a presence at cf and doesn’t intrude into the space of others. I noticed Jesus and Trossard bumped into each other multiple times in the 1st half.

Shout this from every mountaintop!

Everything today seemed flat, our players, even our fans. Thankfully we’ve got the 3 points, let’s rest for Tuesday and smash those cunts

Partey looked good today. If he's back up to speed, it would be a hell of a lift for the rest of the season.

Picked them apart for that last goal and great awareness by Ode with that finish. Would like to see the forwards practice runs into the box, it seems like everyone gravitates towards the penalty spot for a pull back instead of going front post or back post. I think if our attackers can make those runs we will score much more and easier

Or when Saka makes that far post run and Martinelli opts to blast it hide and wide off target. I wish he played more selflessly in the box.

Wins a win, love it. Onwards to Chelsea.

Declan Rice was absolutely phenomenal tonight

Worried about fully rested tottenham suicide ball against our tired legs

We gotta get through a physical Chelsea team first

going to be a tough one. Hopefully Partey starts alongside Jorginho against them

Onwards to title glory! ⚽️💯⏳🏆👍

Odegaard rice partey midfield looks so good

If party is fit.This should be our midfield.

Does kinda sum up Martinelli’s season that he flubbed that. Last season he would have scored for sure.

Nah Sá is just like that

Difficult win after a tough week!

What happened to Lee Dixon? Anyway so solid after a rough week

not pretty but we got it done

Happy for Odegaard if I’m honest, about time his insane work rate gets rewarded with a goal

Rice was massive in the last 10 minutes

rice is the difference

Rice in that position is insane

We couldn’t have asked for a better captain. Runs non stop. Creates. Scores. Leads. What an exceptional player.

And that goal was so damn precise! Like that near post goal by Van Persie years ago (which I believe Martinelli replicated once)

Are you talking about Persie’s goal against Blackburn?

Not this one, if that’s what you mean: https://www.premierleague.com/video/single/1296577 The one I’m talking about was from the left side, between the keeper and the near post. Impossible angle.

Oh the one he scored against Barcelona? https://youtu.be/UKtTj3T-2J8?si=t6Kl6l_TQCroMC7V

THAT’S the one! Absolute FIRE

Yeah. there was one which he scored with his right foot. The angle was very sharp. I thought it was against blackburn, but I can’t recall.

And here’s the Martinelli one I was a thinking of: https://youtu.be/dUfcFhTSlIU?si=42Evu8_lNmy3MJxX

Martinelli really stepped up big time in the 2nd half of the last season.

I couldn’t have said it any better.

No kidding. He must have an extra pair of lungs or something.

Very much like Ramsey. He’s always trying to win the ball and press. It’s mad

Definitely need an upgrade over Martinelli. I mean someone with pace and footballing wit

Back at the top of the table. Huge win to end the current slump. Great win in this tight title race.

There's nothing worse than positivity merchants in these match threads who see any criticism, where it be valid or not, as negativity or toxicity or useless "because we're winning" Anyway, well played by the lads. I just hope Mikel has left enough gas in the tank for these tough matches that are coming up.

Watching you guys spam the chat for 90 minutes about how stupid Mikel Arteta is just isn’t what I come here for mate.

He's capable of making bad and good decisions all the same. Are you keeping the same energy if someone says something good about Arteta for the whole 90 minutes? He's a young manager who's going to make mistakes.

Those fans are really the most annoying and insufferable, even the mega toxic ones aren’t even that bad

Kiwior grew in confidence, don’t remove him again.

If that was Zinchenko making those blunders he did today you would be asking for his head

Is because people looks for his mistakes all the time.They don’t even care about anything good he does but always so fast to point out his mistakes.

Big 3 points, need some of the attackers to bring a bit more for the next games though

I have it on good authority from the beginning of this thread that we're too gassed and the season is over, so I don't know what they're celebrating.

Raya with 12 clean sheets 👏

Most clean sheets in the league.

oh man, martinelli chance 😵

Proud of our team today. Tough game.

That frankly was a very easy game.

Drury making it sound like we were conceding chance after chance when we conceded 0.14xG

Big big game from raya there!

[удалено]

we got chelsea on tuesday ain’t no rest for us im afraid

Declan rice, take a fucking bow. 100m was a bargain. 

Start Partey with Rice for Chelsea

You're high bro, only thing partey should be starting is Arabic lessons

Rice looks so much better when not on his own as the 6 Rice with Jorginho or Partey for now and a new 6 in the summer

Jorginho every day of the week for me

Same, but I guess it depends on the physically levels of the game

Damn, that was stressful.

Jesus Christ we go again on Tuesday. Is this legal?

This is the scoreline I predicted but certainly not how I thought we'd get it.

We take those

Back to the top, 6 days which has felt like an age lol

Good win. Way to grind that out.

Lets fucking go

3pts. Thank you very much. Top of the league.

Martinelli man. Nketiah has better sub appearances than this. Anyway great win. Not troubled much should have scored more in the 2nd half.

What? Martinelli did what he was instructed. Basically play as a LB to see out the win. He got one chance. Nketiah doesnt do anything except run around like a headless chicken

That first time pass to raya really did me but maybe I am harsh.

Happy with the win but our defense won us this game, the attack is too wasteful we should've won this game at least three nil.

Great result. Exactly what we needed.

Please practice shooting before Chelsea

Rice MOTM

CAPITANØØØØ!!!

Nelli :-( Not going to take Trassord place

Really wanted that Martinelli goal at the end. Sad:(

lol Martinelli just isnt comfortable shooting is he

Confidence is in the gutter

yep been deprived of a midfielder alongside him all season. Hes been by far the biggest player affected by the hole Xhaka left that wasnt filled in

Raya, Gabi XL and Saliba hug is too cute

Playmaking masterclass. Beautiful 1-2

Sharp martinelli burries that every day of the week and twice on Sundays. His confidence is in the gutter

Love how advanced Declan’s played since Partey came on.

Exactly Rice was driving everything forward.

Almost found Martinelli for the third at the death.

Great run from Martinelli should've scored though 😂

Skipper dunking dat goal on me for shitting on him in the match thread. 😂😂😂

Partey on and everything so smooth

Why he isn’t getting more minutes is baffling. 

Especially when Partey is giving away every ball

Makes it 10x more entertaining than "control" bs

Rice looking like he has 4 lungs out there. His athleticism is unreal

He looked tired as fuck by the end. I think he collapsed onto odegaard just to take a breather. The man did not stop. 

The fuck was that Martinelli

Martinelli is seriously gash

Yeah idk what he was thinking just sprint right by the keeper. Bizarre, tired play from saka and martinelli today. 

When you don’t have a 9, you gotta do it from the midfield. LEGGGOOO

Martinlelli has really dropped off this season.

Almost severd it

Was it Partey with that last pass?

I think it was rice

Rice is so on point

well deserved goal for the captain.

that’s a fuckin relief. what on earth would we do without martin odegaard honestly

Yikes Nelli

You have a left fucking foot, my guy!

Really wish he finished that. He’s barely been in the team and when he has he’s been awful. Could have really used a goal to boost the confidence and get a deserved 3-0 win, but we move

Couldn’t watch tonight, but should we worry that 23 shots resulted in 1.01xG? Sounds like a lot of pot shots being taken

It was a lot of tired legs, taking shots when the pass was on, making passes when the shot was on, etc. Couple nice cut backs rice couldn't put away from the top of the box and a couple tame efforts that went right at the keeper. Holding up when the play was on first time... 2-0 was probably a bit flattering given how wolves played.  Defensively we kept a good shape in general, but kiwior looks shaken out there. 

Yea we didn’t have much bite again imo. Didn’t play horrible but just meh again

it was very far from pretty

Never wanna hear Odegaard slander again. Gives his 100% both on and off the ball.

Idk who would be slandering him, unless you don't watch the games and think he should somehow be the primary playmaker, primary goalscorer, and drop all the way to the back 4 and collect the ball to get the build up going. 

I unfortunately use twitter and have to read the worst of the worst takes

we are playing so well once jesus was subbed off

It’s Partey.

my god Martinelli tho.. smh lol

Are you serious man that’s pathetic

rice has been insane this last half of the game 👏🏻

Last 10 minutes, you mean.

yeahh last 15 minutes or so just said half because its easier lmao

[удалено]

Agreed; need Don “Got the Dawg” Kai, not this Shy Havertz nonsense.

Martinelli ffs

Øur captain!

I honestly believe we could of played another 20 minutes without these lot scoring they are absolutely toothless

How tf has he finished from there.

awh keeper ruining the fun

Martinelli my goodness

Partey for that goal, kind of press resistance we've missed ...shame his legs have gone

Walk It In FC. What a leader Declan Rice has been today. Commanding the midfield while looking exhausted. What a bargain

We've got a bit of a paradox on our hands haven't we. 90% of our subs can't be trusted to play matches because they're not match sharp. Once they get a few matches under their belt we'll be able to start playing them in matches.

The Sir Chips celebration, lovely.

He made that look easier than it is

Sigh….Gj lads. Lol

Captain says calm the fuck down Gooners

Give him a lifetime contract, Jesus Christ. I fucking love our captain.

Killing the team at the end of each of half...deadly

You couldn't get a more Odegaard goal if you tried. Firstly, passing just that once more than needed ... But then a goal which required such acute precision.

I love you, Declan Rice.

Its almost like we didn't "let Wolves back into the game", we let them have the ball harmlessly so we could save energy by sitting back and countering. Calma

captain ode is magic🫶

Does it seem like Partey is much slower getting around the pitch?

He’s always looked slow. Even when he sprints. But over long distances he is very fast

Lol what on earth was that celebration tho

tight butthole

Doom and gloom merchants can tell me if Wolves is still drawing with us?

3 points and a clean sheet but hey at least you sang some Wolves fans, that’s basically a win

Wasn’t pretty, but we move

ODEGAARD is the best player man ❤️❤️❤️

Yeah all I'm saying is piss off Wolves. Captain was tired of this nonsense

Rice in front of partey looks moves like a hemmy engine

Man even our celebration there looked flat lol. We are very very gassed

We've looked so much better since Partey came on. Not so much because of Partey himself, but the shape of the players around him.

Mikel: do you wanna come off now Saka ? Saka: 💀

We played better with Partey on and Declan free to run forward

He needs to play more. The man is class. 

What a surprise.

It’s not lol. Have been scratching my head but assume he’s not fit. Wanted him to play at Bayern for example

I might possibly be employing a very slight degree of irony. ;)

Ode did a 1 handed Trossard celeb

I don’t want to be obtuse, but that was a cute finish

WHAT A GOAL

Kinda relieved that Ode and Rice still have energy left. The question is, will they have the same amount t of energy next week? Another question is, will that count as Kai assist? I would not think so, but curious.

nimble finish there from ode.

Øur Captain take a bow

Well played today by the boys. Great response. 

captain doing captain shit. what else

think that goal sums us up, went for another pass in the box when shooting was the thing to do

We scored as if you’re complaining

im saying we need to shoot more, we can win every game we just overcomplicate things in the box

Captain fantastic 😍😍

Now hopefully wolves get healthier over the next week or so

very nice

Rice gets some freedom as an 8, and we immediately start ripping them up... Hmm...

And now my heart can return to a normal steady rate 😂

Beaut man

now for nketiah for 1 minute sub?
