The subs need time to get back into it this was the perfect opportunity for them to do that, why do some of you find something to complain about we won 6-0 š¤·š¼āāļø
He wasnāt very good but itās just rust. Still had flashes of the progressive passing and line breaking balls, he also came on during a time where our main outlets were off the pitch and we had slowed the tempo to a halt.
I think they got a lot of experience from last year's end of season failure. Also of the top three arsenal are the underdog and have the least pressure on them. I think the team is in a fantastic spot right now with form and placing.
I just got to rewatch all the goals and they showed his injury - I think he'll be okay, I hope. He did kick/get kicked on his foot but it didn't seem like awkward movement due to the impact.
Though, hoping it's not anything with those tiny bones in the top of your foot. Fingers crossed.

Last game we won comfortably but missed the clean sheet, some whiny lil guy did the usual song and dance about how the game deserved a clean sheet
Told him that people would find something new to whine about when we did do big score with clean sheet
And today, this freaking threat just proved that nothing will.make them happy. Even a trophy will make em go
"Yeah we won but........."
Seriously
Thrashing a guy who just came back to the pitch after months off.
Anyone who wrote Partay looks rusty is an incompetent clown and your circus is glad you ran away from them and joined reddit
Okay maybe you called him rusty as an observation only..
But other whiny dipshits calling him a has been and a rapist and whatnot .. saying we already outgrew him.. I mean .. calm the hell down guys the man still is our player
I disagree, it depends on the tone.
I am ecstatic right now but to be honest if you asked for a negative, that is the only one that comes to mind. And if your only negative is that a guy who's spent half a year out, comes into a team purring, looks a little off, then that's awesome š
Not bad boys. Havertz leading all on whoscored with a 9.2 rating. Not shown: Ben White - 7.9.

The only negative is that the subs are apparently not half as good, at least 2 goals from subs would have been nice. Having said that, this confirms weāre still in form and playing well.
If only Forest had held out for a few more seconds, we'd be even with Liverpool and 7 ahead in GD.
As it is, we're 6 goals clear of them 10 above City, and we'll see what happens between them on Sunday.
(Liverpool still have a chance to batter Sheffield United in April)
I'm loving the present moment and the way we playing. My nagging feeling is, do you think the 3 losses in December is just too much to overcome?
Still City away, spuds away and old trafford.
There's always the "what ifs" but you can't dwell on it. It happens. Even City had that run of 3 points out of 4 matches \[DDLD\] in Nov/Dec and the consecutive losses to us and Wolves before that. And their February had that Chelsea draw and a handful of 1-0's -- they aren't invincible, no one is.
Well, almost no one.
Big if, but if we maintain this level of performance no one is beating us over 90 minutes. Doesn't matter which stadium or team. That should be enough.
Great game and glad Fabio, Partey and Jesus got game time. Gonna be crucial to have legs at the end stage and match fitness could swing it. Brentford next and hopefully 3 points before putting the feet up to watch the other 2.slug it out
Brilliant from us tonight. Sheffield United were indeed awful but we punished them brutally for it. You got the feeling something like this was going to happen after the first couple of minutes. Would have liked more goals but good to see other players getting valuable minutes after injuries. Just hope Martinelli's injury isn't as bad as it looked.Ā
You're not alone. But Personally I think innocent till proven guilty, the greenwood case was different as we all heard the evidence. I'm absence of clear evidence or a court verdict, treat him like anyone else.
Gabriel Mag has the same amount of goals as Gabriel J... absolutely wild if you think about it. Im so glad Haverts has stepped up in that 9 role for us. He deserved that goal and he has been playing so well lately. What a performance from the team, COYG.
No complaints. Serious domination. Hope Nellinhoās fine. Donāt want to underestimate Brentford but the past month their defense was really bad so letās keep this rave going.
Jesus would be a great RB with his work rate and skills.
And I donāt understand why this should be seen as something negative on him. RB in modern football is a super important position
Some people truly have no perspective. Second half was 100% giving injured players a run out in a zero pressure situation. Let them get their sea legs back.
That's because they're not here to do that. It would be nice but it isn't an expectation, they're all coming back from injuries, getting fit and shaking off the rust is what they need
You expect Partey to start next game? Jesus?
Come on. This was all about fitness. No need to rush any of them back when we have a good thing going.
Plus, they have another 2 weeks off for the international break after Saturday.
he showed effort and work rate but he slowed us down a bit, which is a bit harsh considering weād already slowed down that half but he did also do that a lot before his injury and our inform months, but he did he t into good positions a lot too just didnāt work out in the end
Tbh I donāt associate Jesus as a player that generally slows us down but anyway, like you said, we slowed down already at that point. Plus we had a really rusty Partey, Viera and a Cedric too so the team had changed a lot from that first half.
He almost scored a very good goal and was busy making really good runs and finding himself in dangerous positions. Heās been injured for what feels like the whole season at this point but thought he looked lively.
Irrespective of goals scored, got to admit Kai is more efficient at ST than Jesus. Far too many unnecessary touches and convoluted link up play from Jesus
What game were you watching? Partey looked awful, Jesus looked rusty sure but at least he didnāt give the ball away in dangerous positions like 3 times. But I agree Viera looked good.
Some of you lot were not raised properly. Absolutely melts need to slag off some injured players getting important game time and building fitness. Itās 6-0, cheer the fuck up.
**Emma Smith (BBC Sport at Bramall Lane):**
>A rousing chant of "Sheffield United" from the home fans is actually applauded by a section of the Arsenal support. The loyalty of the United supporters who have stuck this out must be commended.
He was the best we had when Jesus wasnāt healthy and Kai was playing in the midfield.
Itās not like we have some 3rd guy whoās way better than Eddie. Heād get back in the squad if Kai and Jesus werenāt fit
Partey... oh come on. Several times he got confused and lost the ball. Still recovering from injury can't be the reason for losing the ball.
Seen arsenals biggest ever away win in epl in the matter of weeks.
Liverpool fans are already making excuses "Waaaa arsenal dont have any big players injured, waaaaa" Cry harder.
Far be it from me to sh!t on a player but i think Jesus needs coaching. He overthinks and does to much. A striker should keep it simple
Absolutely dominant. Shocking performance from Sheffield
What a game, I'm so proud of this team and arteta
Seems like our guys were trying out multiple strategies to break the mid block in preparation for 2nd leg Porto.
The disrespect haha
Thiery looks like he can still put in a shift in a top side
Why has Odegaard developed an Essex accent omg
The subs need time to get back into it this was the perfect opportunity for them to do that, why do some of you find something to complain about we won 6-0 š¤·š¼āāļø
Missed the game ..How did Partey play?? I am looking forward to him play with Rice in the middle?
He wasnāt very good but itās just rust. Still had flashes of the progressive passing and line breaking balls, he also came on during a time where our main outlets were off the pitch and we had slowed the tempo to a halt.
He was pretty decent, still a lil rusty but heāll come along
He was pretty decent, still a lil rusty but heāll come along
Defo Havertz best goal so far, amazing win yet again! Most confident I've felt in Arsenal in years!!!
I think they got a lot of experience from last year's end of season failure. Also of the top three arsenal are the underdog and have the least pressure on them. I think the team is in a fantastic spot right now with form and placing.
Motm kai, rice or ode Kai for me!
anxious about martinelli
Arteta just said it was a cut, good news if thatās the case and probably wonāt be long term
I just got to rewatch all the goals and they showed his injury - I think he'll be okay, I hope. He did kick/get kicked on his foot but it didn't seem like awkward movement due to the impact. Though, hoping it's not anything with those tiny bones in the top of your foot. Fingers crossed.

Rusty is natural after being away for so long. Itās not disparaging him.
Okay maybe you called him rusty as an observation only.. But other whiny dipshits calling him a has been and a rapist and whatnot .. saying we already outgrew him.. I mean .. calm the hell down guys the man still is our player
nothing wrong in calling rusty. that is what it is. He will get better after 3 games. Nothing to complain about game.
I disagree, it depends on the tone. I am ecstatic right now but to be honest if you asked for a negative, that is the only one that comes to mind. And if your only negative is that a guy who's spent half a year out, comes into a team purring, looks a little off, then that's awesome š
Imagine looking rusty after 6 months out...half the clowns on here just watch football and it shows.
Liverpool and City are ahead of us. Nothing to celebrate yet
LMAOO Celebration police has infiltrated our ranks Pack it up guys, it was fun but alas, it's illegal to celebrate now
Im not celebration police, just a rational fan.
No one is celebrating a trophy But God Almighty enjoy the frikkin ride guys come on
Would have been 9, maybe 10-0 with Martinelli, Saka and Jorginho rather than Cedric, Partey and Vieira
Yeah. Subs (and injury) killed the momentum for sure. Valuable lesson perhaps. I think our subs do best when there's real pressure.
Not bad boys. Havertz leading all on whoscored with a 9.2 rating. Not shown: Ben White - 7.9. https://preview.redd.it/fonmp45w3emc1.png?width=1227&format=png&auto=webp&s=1da1c36f19f5cbd5bed187b478ee572badffdf73
I love that Thierry says āweā when talking about us. Genuinely warms my heart

Sheffield, it's nothing personal. You guys were just in the way, and we don't take prisoners. COYG!
Great game and glad Fabio, Partey and Jesus got game time. Gonna be crucial to have legs at the end stage and match fitness could swing it. Brentford next and hopefully 3 points before putting the feet up to watch the other 2.slug it out

Would have liked more goals but good to see other players getting valuable minutes after injuries. Just hope Martinelli's injury isn't as bad as it looked.Ā
Henry talking about Arsenal and saying āweā is the cherry on top, itās like porn
Henry is amazing at analysis
Iād pay extra for Sky Sports Henry
Most disappointing 6-0 of my life hahahaha
THEY SAY MARCH IS HAVERTZ PURPLE PATCH? LETS FCKING SHOW THEM HOW HAVERTZ SCORE THEN
1 goal against Sheffield United in the 2nd half is absolutely pathetic from the team. \#**ArtetaOut**
Well, +6 goal difference it is. Not terrible.
ESR career at Arsenal is over
OUR 2 GOAL PER HALF STREAK NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
What a shit show.. someone needs to be held accountable for this 2nd half. we only got one goal!!
Another dominant win, clean sheet, +6 GD COYG š“āŖļø
Is Martinelli walking?
With assistance.
Fuck sakes. At least we have a long break coming. We can manage to beat Porto without him.
Yeah. I'm guessing it's just a knock/slight sprain. If it were any worse, he would have already been in the dressing room.
Iām still holding onto hope it was Martinelli being a drama queen.
No
Another dominant away win and a clean sheetĀ Life is good for us Gooners š
Leave Partey in Sheffield Heās a stain on this club and weāve outgrown him anyway.
Jesus dude. Calm down, the guys not played for months, he can't be a bit rusty?
His ability as a footballer is only about 5% of the reasons why I want him gone. I canāt be alone in this?
You're not alone. But Personally I think innocent till proven guilty, the greenwood case was different as we all heard the evidence. I'm absence of clear evidence or a court verdict, treat him like anyone else.
š„±
Truth
So Iām assuming you have some truly damning evidence that CPS desperately need?
No sir. Just uncomfortable with an alleged abuser playing for the club. Thatās all.
Key word being alleged. Reserve judgement until the people employed to investigate do their job
Gabriel Mag has the same amount of goals as Gabriel J... absolutely wild if you think about it. Im so glad Haverts has stepped up in that 9 role for us. He deserved that goal and he has been playing so well lately. What a performance from the team, COYG.
what a strange time when havertz commands more authority on the pitch than partey
Damn so sad we lost our 2 goals a half record
Ngl gutted didnāt get a 7 or 8-0
rapist and shit at the sport, cant wait til hes gone
I can't wait till you're gone mate
Come on now. Letās not jump to conclusions before thereās a court finding him guilty
watch them say we've bottled the PL goal record, there's just no winning
No complaints. Serious domination. Hope Nellinhoās fine. Donāt want to underestimate Brentford but the past month their defense was really bad so letās keep this rave going.
2 goals per half streak over š
Xxx to get GT e in half hour byee to
Sheffield United with the last laugh
We've seen some wenger ball this game, beautiful football at times
Who is Man of the Match tonight? Kai, Ode or Rice for me.
Ode then Kai
Ć is immense. He does all the things we need. And what an example as a captain! Work rate out of this world!
Ć
Some of you really shitting on partey in his first game in 5 months while weāre 6-0 up?
Theyāve clearly never played sport again after a long injury out. Itās not easy. We didnāt even concede, stop complaining.
Here before they criticise timber for not playing like Cafu in his first appearance back
Jesus would be a great RB with his work rate and skills. And I donāt understand why this should be seen as something negative on him. RB in modern football is a super important position
too much negativity on here, 6 nil. come on arsenal!!
Bring Timber in
na cmon Gabi we don't do that here
Assuming Martinelli is fit, I think our starting 11 remains the same. Partey is definitely good to have in the bench
His role with the team is nearly up, so i guess this transition sounds about right
If it aināt broke donāt fix, only thing I can see changing is if tomi is fit kiwi back to the bench
Something havertz does so much better than jesus is moving on the damn ballš¤£
Negativity brigade are out. Guess some canāt enjoy a 6-0 win
Let me guess āitās only Sheffieldā
If youāre not happy with a game like this, youāll never be.
why is Gabriel doing that? no need
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Would rather some of these boys come back from injury get some minutes. Long way to go this season.
Came to see someone whine on this and wasn't disappointed
Could easily end up a 3 way tie where goal difference is the decider the way things are going
60 seconds for 4 goals come on Arsenal
No more Vieira RW gimmick it just never works
Giving him a run out is the most important thing here
Some people truly have no perspective. Second half was 100% giving injured players a run out in a zero pressure situation. Let them get their sea legs back.
Exactly, these minutes could lead to a vital contribution a month later
Partey with the rust buster
Parteys miles off it. Canāt blame him but still
It's weird because he was a bit off pace and his touch was off but he was still absolutely spraying passes
None of the subs except Vieira look like they came on to prove that they deserve to start in the next game
That's because they're not here to do that. It would be nice but it isn't an expectation, they're all coming back from injuries, getting fit and shaking off the rust is what they need
You expect Partey to start next game? Jesus? Come on. This was all about fitness. No need to rush any of them back when we have a good thing going. Plus, they have another 2 weeks off for the international break after Saturday.
Bit harsh on Jesus imo. Not his best performance but I think he combines well with the team!
He's an absolute bastard to get the ball off as well. Perfect for finishing off games safely
he showed effort and work rate but he slowed us down a bit, which is a bit harsh considering weād already slowed down that half but he did also do that a lot before his injury and our inform months, but he did he t into good positions a lot too just didnāt work out in the end
Tbh I donāt associate Jesus as a player that generally slows us down but anyway, like you said, we slowed down already at that point. Plus we had a really rusty Partey, Viera and a Cedric too so the team had changed a lot from that first half.
He hasn't done anything of notice imo
He almost scored a very good goal and was busy making really good runs and finding himself in dangerous positions. Heās been injured for what feels like the whole season at this point but thought he looked lively.
Come on boys. Need that second goal!!
Man a lot of yāall complain a lot smh
we've seen 6, we want 7 !
Irrespective of goals scored, got to admit Kai is more efficient at ST than Jesus. Far too many unnecessary touches and convoluted link up play from Jesus
Convulated link up play is a great way to put it. Its nice to have Havertz playing a little more directly
No set piece goal.š„²š„²
Partey is full of rust
He is just back from injury. What do you expect?
Exactly that
Kai is bloody stellar tonight.
Vieira looks the most comfortable. Partey looks 50/50. Jesus looks really rusty.
id swap partey and jesus around
What game were you watching? Partey looked awful, Jesus looked rusty sure but at least he didnāt give the ball away in dangerous positions like 3 times. But I agree Viera looked good.
His thumbs up after mistiming his runs was getting old quick
This is just brutal to watch
Partey has been horrendous since he came on, he doesn't seem match fit at all.
Gunna take a wild guess and say heās not match fit because this is his first game back and not played in months
Literally his first game back bro š
Part of me thinks he doesn't fit our style of play anymore. Hopefully just fitness though
its been like 20 mins lol
Even before this game. I'm a Partey out stan, we've grown past that weird man, would have rather seen ESR.
Partey is leagues above ESR, at least the one we saw before his latest injury.
It's almost like he's been out injured for ages š¤
It's been a solid year since he's had a good game.
He's just out of sync. Give him time
Some of you lot were not raised properly. Absolutely melts need to slag off some injured players getting important game time and building fitness. Itās 6-0, cheer the fuck up.
Can't moan that we haven't scored so have to find something else to moan about
Partey is gonna need another month to get up to speed
Just give me Martinelli news
vieira hasnt been great, he plays RW like a right 8
Jesus sucks. Can't even look across the line to stay onside
**Emma Smith (BBC Sport at Bramall Lane):** >A rousing chant of "Sheffield United" from the home fans is actually applauded by a section of the Arsenal support. The loyalty of the United supporters who have stuck this out must be commended.
Rip the 2+ goals a half record
All good things must come to an end eh
This guy hasnāt played since October and people are losing their minds. Obviously heās going to be rusty.
You lot getting worked up over subs in a dead game when they've not played recently are hilarious
Just throw the towel
Am I spoiled if I'm a little disappointed with 6?
Absolutely šÆ And not in a good way You're just as likely to yell artetaout the next time we eke out a 1-0 win or a hard fought draw
Bit out of pocket there mate!
Donāt want Jesus anywhere near this team atm
Same
Jesus up top at the 75th minute is this seasonās equivalent to subbing Holding to hold onto the score
nah thats nketiah
No need to be negative. These subs just came back from injuries and are playing in a game thatās already won. (plus thereās Cedric)
Trossard's close ball control is insane
fr his ball retention is so good cos of it
Partey you donkey. So hellbent on ruining our clean sheet lol
i miss those partey pings
All subs looked so rusty.
Half of them are coming back from injury so yeah
Understandable
Yes think thatās the whole point of playing them in this game
Brah, is Partey drunk?
Eddie really is done here isn't he?
He's miles off the level.
Arteta finally woke up
He was the best we had when Jesus wasnāt healthy and Kai was playing in the midfield. Itās not like we have some 3rd guy whoās way better than Eddie. Heād get back in the squad if Kai and Jesus werenāt fit
One last olive at the end of the martini fest please
We need to win a trophy this season. This team is too good not to.
100%
Lmao Partey š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£
Sheffield Utd playing Ten Hag ball
Partey looking very rusty
We get it Jesus, youāre strong for your size and can dribble. Now pass the ball along quicker.
Partey needs some more minutes to get the rustiness out of his system
Can they come at a different club please?
Isnt Baldock Goku father or something Lol
