Reiss Nelson's dramatic winner and VAR

I definitely think Nelson is good enough to be offered a new contract. Not an automatic starter every week, but not far off it either.

Nketiah has shown himself to be a good option to have in the squad. I think Reiss is just as good as him, if not better.

Great to have as many Arsenal lads as possible at the club.

You could see this team folding in the past when decisions went against us. Not now. Different gravy. Title winning attitude.

Yeah, that's the way I see it too tbh.

Weirdly, some Gooners see it differently, with us needing last minute winners, and late turnarounds as a sign of weakness.

I mean, maybe it's not a weird angle. It's just not how I see it (nor how people viewed those great Liverpool and United sides or yore that sometimes relied on them).

Wouldn't wish to see that goal disallowed for a player moving slightly early from kick off, GT. Not really something to hold onto imo.

I agree with you DJ but the rules are there.

You can see that B'mouth trained that goal. If you follow the rules it shouldnt be allowed.

Their manager admitted it was a plan. On the ko argument it is a different phase of play maybe but then had there been a toenail offside 9s before a goal would it be the same decision?

I think people believe we should be beating teams like Bournemouth easily. They ignore how young this team is and how many key injuries we have. For example all our strikers are out for a minimum of 2 weeks. I remember how in awe everyone was when Liverpool were beating City to the title. You don't see the same respect for Arsenal from others tbh and it rubs off on our fans as well.

I am quite sure City players and Pep was watching our game. I bet our win yesterday was a bigger morale blow to them than if we had an easy expected 3-0 win.

You expect City and even Liverpool to win from 2-0 down and now Arsenal are doing it to!

I’m not really in the City dressing room but I doubt your home game against Bournemouth is a game we would have earmarked for you to drop points. Would have been a nice surprise but I think even at 2-0 down there was the chance you would come back. You did it away from home against Villa.

The games that will be soul crushers are if you win away at Liverpool and Newcastle because those are the obvious games one would expect you to lose or draw.

Granted we may need to win all our remaining games to have a chance at this title but we actually just need you to skip once. Just once if we win all our games.

Slip*

Did City expect Arsenal to come back from 2-0 down?

(especially after Trossard are only fit striker was subbed)

Keep telling yourself that mate. It would only be common sense to assume that City weren't expecting us to go 2 down to Bouremouth but once we did CIty would have been praying we lost that game. To suggest otherwise is silly.
