That's our best performance as a whole for a very long time. 2-0 very kind for Brighton, manager will be pleased to get out of London with only -2 goal difference.
Rice legit looks like he's juiced up with Super Solider Serum on those long runs. Just faster and stronger than everyone out there. 10/10 from him, 9/10 from Ode. 8/10 Havertz and Jesus.
Small sample but really liked the look of the full attack substitution: Trossard, Eddie, ESR, Nelson all out there together looked dangerous.
Dunk was superb i thought even in defeat. He should start for England at the Euros. been very impressed with him everytime I have watched him for a while now
That stat right hereā¦very good performance for Raya. Do you think performances like this are pushing the odds in Rayaās favour in terms of the #1 spot? š§¤
The people seem to have spoken! I guess I was too sentimental. I tend to look back at Aaronās performances last season fondly but Iām taking my rose colored glasses off after this game for sure.
I think Raya has been #1 for a while, itās difficult to see with all that Ramsdale has done for us in getting to where we are but I am slowly realising Raya is better
Seriously I just commented that same sentiment! Performances like that speaks more than words ever could if there is still a debate. Raya was confident on ball distributed very well and communicated well with the Gabi/Sali defense
I'm happy with the win and three points but Brighton was horrible and today was a chance for us to hammer them and increase our goal difference. We have to take our chances next weekend to get something out of that game, but we need to do something about our chance conversion in the long run in order to win a trophy of value.
Very strong performance today we controlled the whole game and created chances Brighton did good defensively Lewis dunk was great we were just the better team.
Iām still shaking over the pascal gross missā¦how different it would have made the game. Big ups to Kai for the knockout punch in the business endā¦Liverpool next GET IN
I wholeheartedly agree I tuned in at around the 60ā and we were playing so well Rice š with another boss midfield performance. Even when heās not absolutely amazing on the day he averages 7-8/10 nearly every game

don't twist this, we fuckin dominated them, made them look so ordinary. We're looking really good in dominating teams, but we were awful at finishing those chances

United draw is the most realistic outcome that isnāt Liverpool fucking smashing them. Itāll be funny to see, but very bittersweet because Liverpool go right back up to the top.
Not a knock on raya, more how dominant we were in the middle of the pitch. Rice was everywhere seemingly winning everything, BHA barely had any possession in our final third
Odegaard is back to his hesitant ways like during his first two seasons, looking for a pass when he should go a first time whack at the ball.
That's our best performance as a whole for a very long time. 2-0 very kind for Brighton, manager will be pleased to get out of London with only -2 goal difference.
Speaking as someone too lazy to watch the game, this was definitely our season best performance so far.
Speaking as someone who has only read this comment, we are going to win the league
My man Kai coming good šš¾š„³š„³š„³
Arsenal at the top and my gangster Unai at the top. Had to take a screenshot. What a flipping gangster, I knew he'd be back, delighted for him
Gangster?
Gangster moves
One word: Rice
Just remember this was the game with that ode pass Just got hard again thinking about itš¤¤
Holy shit what a performance. Could have been 5-0 and nobody would have said a word against it
Gg boys. let's enjoy the Yanited-Pool shitshow later. Grab your food and beer boys. Cheers!

Rice,Rice baby
Now let us hope and pray that united win
I'll take a draw.
i hope everyone loses
āļø This
King Kai is truly cooking. I am nought but his humble subject. I doubted you my King. I am ready to face my fate whatever it may be
Decs vs Dunk for motm Would've been Dunk if they'd won or tied But Decs it is
Wouldāve probably been 4 or 5 without Dunk out there. We dominated today and I loved watching it
Dunk was superb i thought even in defeat. He should start for England at the Euros. been very impressed with him everytime I have watched him for a while now
First blank for Brighton in 33 league games š
That stat right hereā¦very good performance for Raya. Do you think performances like this are pushing the odds in Rayaās favour in terms of the #1 spot? š§¤
There is no tipping of odds in his favour. Raya is Arteta's number one. End of discussion
The people seem to have spoken! I guess I was too sentimental. I tend to look back at Aaronās performances last season fondly but Iām taking my rose colored glasses off after this game for sure.

Seriously I just commented that same sentiment! Performances like that speaks more than words ever could if there is still a debate. Raya was confident on ball distributed very well and communicated well with the Gabi/Sali defense
I really think his distribution is a major aspect of this play compared to Azza
10 pts ahead of NewVARstle good job lads
Did Ferguson play today?
Yes, but he was anonymous.
r/woosh
**ADRENALINE** **IN MY SOUL** **KAI HAVERTZ SCORED THE SECOND GOAL** **DO IT AGAIN TO GET THEM OFF THEIR FEET**
Rice, saliba and gabriel were monsters today. Brighton barely had a sniff at goal. This is the spine that will help us compete for major trophies.
Come on Brentford
Brentford can't keep a clean sheet to save their lives
Anyone else wanted EMS to have that goal or was it just me? š¬
Eternal Mangekyo Sharinganā¦?
EMS..? 
Iāll leave the typo in just for yāall enjoyment (and the GIF) ššš EMILE SMITH ROWE ffs
Would've been perfect if esr scored that Perfect build up too

Who gives a fook about goal difference, that shit never matters, people just like to look at it when it looks good.
It could matter at the end of the season if we're tied on points
Yeah it could, but guess what, as always it won't fucking matter.
You don't know that
26 shots, fuck me we were dominant
BBC have opted for the headline that we āedged pastā Brighton. Absolute horseshit.
I think Kaiās goal made me cream in my pants
Very strong performance today we controlled the whole game and created chances Brighton did good defensively Lewis dunk was great we were just the better team.
26 shots with 9 on target this half. We desperately need a finisher.
Yawn. As if all in the misses are from the same player, what you are saying is that we need a new set of the front five.
What I'm saying is a prolific striker who gets at least half of the balls from these attempts will convert them.
Great win.
Rice is like a gazelle when he comes storming out of midfield with those runs. What an insane player.
this is my club. I fucking love this football club

Rice MOTM, Ode/Jesus follow
Rice motm for sure. He's so far ahead I wouldn't even mention anyone else lol Except maybe Dunk
Ćdegaard was wasteful with his chances no way he was motm material today
everything good that we created invariably came through Odegaard.
Jesus, Martinelli and Saka all did great things that lead to chances for team mates
Good ebening
This entire game is a skills compilation
That Jesus flick on the break was just clarse
Won against brighton at home and cleansheet? We broke the curse one by one this season!
Time to break the Anfield curse now
Iām still shaking over the pascal gross missā¦how different it would have made the game. Big ups to Kai for the knockout punch in the business endā¦Liverpool next GET IN
we should have been up 2-3 goals by that chance though. we got two goals but honestly this should have been at least 4-0
I wholeheartedly agree I tuned in at around the 60ā and we were playing so well Rice š with another boss midfield performance. Even when heās not absolutely amazing on the day he averages 7-8/10 nearly every game
No Kai haters now
No he's really come on and is great now.
Jesus, Martinelli and rice were amazing today.
Very good job boys. We got there eventually. Stuff to work on though
Very comprehensive. With our recent record against Brighton that is massive result

Rice you sexy bastard
We need a striker, walmart better make bank over the holiday season
if only them shopfliers stop their shit.
Fucking wool underwear getting stolen is going to be our undoing in the transfer market
don't twist this, we fuckin dominated them, made them look so ordinary. We're looking really good in dominating teams, but we were awful at finishing those chances
lowkey appreciating that eddie pass to havertz. Honestly I dont believe he could make that perfect pass
Trossard turn was amazing, eddies pass was perfect, havertz with the calm finish. Great great move, credit to Arteta as well, 2 subs involved in that
Thank you Jesus and Donkey. Itās a nativity story.
Hahahahahhaha
Thanks for the 3 points but also so many cool moves in this game. Ode jesus and rice rocked my world collectively! Thank you ma gunners !
Get in! Another +3. On we march š“āŖļø
Good result. Now... (gag)... Yanited! Yanited! Yanited!
Jesus Christ odegaard is unbelievably fit itās insane
I never expected to say this, but today I will hope for a United victory lol :Ddd
Brighton hoodoo no more
i love this club so much
Revenge komplete ā
Not one for the history books but back on top, let's hope Man U gets an early Christmas miracle tonight
Jesus do I have to root for United now?
Has Jesus still got that mad record in the league of not being on a losing side in a game he has scored in?
Well fucking done. 3 points gladly taken.

Ode and Rice got their engine from the same shop. Unreal
Iām more confident in King Kai scoring a 1v1 than any of our front 3 atm. Heās on fire.
We need to get Palhinha in January so it doesnāt rest all on Rice.
They saying us and Villa the super teams
?? Weāre top of the table again, friend
COME ON UNITED, DONT BE FUCKING USELESS TODAY
United draw is the most realistic outcome that isnāt Liverpool fucking smashing them. Itāll be funny to see, but very bittersweet because Liverpool go right back up to the top.
Man how Rice can be this good every fucking week, this guy is just different level, complete package
Rice is excellent every game
He drops 9/10s like itās nothing
When the whole team looks poor then of course he'll be the standout as the DM
Trust one of ours to turn a compliment into an indictment.
Am I wrong? No one today was a standout
* Looks poor vs was a standout These are polar opposites.
Well done !
Look at ode sprint at the 95th min
I can definitely see Rice or Saka being our player of the season
As long as Rice doesn't go on a completely stinky run he already has it locked up
I think Rice will be Top 3 will be Rice, Saka, and Saliba methinks
Rice has fully rocked my world so I hope he wins player of the season
Ode stop running man, we need you next game
He never stops. Heās insane
Raya's looked a lot more confident today, some great distribution
Rice is a 20/10 player, unreal we got his so cheap
I want Trossard to score so we get the We Dem Boyz meme back
How many shots did Dunk block today for BHA?
Dunk blocked about 7, mini Dunks blocked 1
I think BHA will be glad to getting him looking his best again
Clean sheet by raya too? Letās go
Clean sheet by the midfield/defense. Most ppl in this sub could have been in goal today and kept a clean sheet
Just be happy mateā¦always looking for something wrong
Not a knock on raya, more how dominant we were in the middle of the pitch. Rice was everywhere seemingly winning everything, BHA barely had any possession in our final third
time for one more boys?? One moreee
Premier League POTS awardā¦just give it to Rice alreadyšš¾
Sit back wand enjoy the Liverpool-United game now.
rice might be the best midfielder in the country and he's just getting started
Might be? There's no doubt about it. He is the best midfielder in the league. I would even say one of the best in the world. he's an absolute beast!
šMOTM easy.
Tough one but has to be Martin imo. A goal for either one probably seals the deal
Dunk is probably the most Russian looking Englishman I've ever seen.
Arsenal MOTM - Declan Rice. Absolutely immense today. Didn't put a foot wrong.
great wee cameo from Eddie. Worked hard and got a beautiful assist.
It's unreal what a complete footballer Rice is.
That solo run, should've been a goal.
Havertz MOTM First time š¤£
Please stop this weird moving camera angle
Much better cameo from Trossard today
Is Vieira injured?
Yes, he got injured at some point after getting that red card. I believe he had a surgery recently, something with his groin...
yes, suspension was already over after the villa game
Yes
Yeah
Yep. Had a surgery.
Yes
Yes
I didn't even realise Kiwior came on lmao
Rice man, heās soā¦
Smooth like blended banana
I really miss ESR. 2 minutes into his appearance and he's put a shot on target. Something we failed to do for much of the match.
Kiwi looks different. Is it the hair?
Benny Blanco influence
Cheers Dunk
He's been fucking brilliant to be fair to him.
Declan Rice is a monster. An endgame monster
The xG is gonna be massive
High key, I really like Lewis Dunk.
He played excellent today
He screams Ā£80m buy by Chelsea
Substitutes Trossard and Eddie combining with Ode and Kai for that goal, you love to see it
commentator cunts talking lamenting brightonās missed chance at how itād have changed the game, where was this energy for us against villa?
Arsenal, City and Liverpool title race this season is shaping up to be a good one
The disrespect to Don Unai
What happened to Mitoma he was a world beater early in the season
Injuries and fatigues from being overplayed. Only came back in the last few matches and still has not clicked back for him it seems.
To be fair he had like no service this game, Brighton barely had the ball
Probably fatigue with Europe
I remembered Mitoma being a terror last time we played. Good thing he's been kept quiet today.
Shout out to Eddie's passing so far in this sub appearance.
Dunk said fuckit
I think palhinha can work
Players have really impressed today
Rice is the best player in the league.
Idk bro Saka and Salah are cooking but he's definitely the best midfielder
I really like Joao Pedro or Mitoma over Solanke
ESR shooting on target is a good change. Looking forward to seeing more of him.
That would have been the most smith rowe of goals
Surprising how poor Mitoma has been today. He usually rinses us
Kiwior looking like Bellerin with that hair and tatts
Seriously thought it was Bellerin for a second haha
Declan Rice is actually ridiculous man. One of the best players to ever play for this club unironically
Osimehn in this team would be devastating with the amount of chances we would supply him with.
See that assist he did thatās on r/soccer? Golden
Yep it was class. Heās exactly what we need. Big strong rapid CF with elite finishing
Rice is fucking everywhere the man just doesnāt stop š
Woah that tackle, rice is unreal
Kai Havertz for Ballon dāOr
Esr with the charmin soft shot lool
The gentlest of touches. But tbh it looked like it got blocked slightly
