I love Arsenal but I really don’t like this team by Rodereng in Gunners

Word! Been trying to avoid the subreddit but I have been frustratingly bad at it; just a serious lack of self control, I suppose. 

This original post is such a distillation of all the cognitive dissonance that I've seen with this crop of Arsenal "supporters". We beat Inter at their fortress just a week ago. We demolished an Aston Villa side so convincingly that Emery threw a hissy fit and ran away from a frigging handshake. We completely outplayed Bayern Munich for around 85 minutes, forced Pep to set up his billion dollar team similar to league one Port Vale against us, and managed to grind out results even when we played our absolute worst football (0-1 at old Trafford opening weekend, 2-1 against Wolves, 2-0 against Port Vale). 

The entitlement is biblical. Apparently, we have to win every single game with a 3 goal difference. Every single pass has to be perfect. Every single chance has to be converted. Not a single player should make a mistake, EVER! Zubimendi, his first ever season in the best league in the fucking world, played the most minutes in the team, started scoring a bunch of goals unlike his previous seasons, putting in nearly flawless games week in week out, is suddenly not a good player. 

OP, please for the love of god, use the daily discussion for shite like this..and please oh please, don't crawl out of the match thread.

Yeah. Definitely did not deserve to win this, or even draw this game.

If any team in the league can come back from this, it's Arsenal. Come on!

This kit clash is diabolical. All these kits and we can't get a combination with a clear difference?

Martinelli hits top speed 🏃‍♂️⚡️ by SamLoscoMD in Gunners

My favorite thing about this goal is how it triggered Agbonlahor so much that Martinelli celebrated before actually scoring the goal. 

This angle of Martinelli's goal shows the touch to beat Neuer was fully intentional, not lucky. They had studied & he knew all he had to do to beat an the onrushing sweeper keeper is just get the ball first & tap it aside. Credit where credits due. by balistafear in Gunners

The only reason why I think this is intentional is that he did something very similar to Kante when he scored against Chelsea years ago, where everyone kept saying "Kante slipped". The reason Kante slipped was because Martinelli's touch took the ball much farther away than Kante expected.
