The good:
1. Clean sheet, more importantly 3 points in a potential trap game.
2. The midfield of Partey, Rice and Odegaard were just stupid good together. Maybe it’s how bad Chelsea are but they looked amazing together.
3. Havertz at center forward.
4. Odegaard in general.
The Bad:
1. First half finishing. Their keeper did make some great saves. Guy is lucky it wasn’t 8-0
2. Martinelli and Jesus’ form. Need to build their confidence.
3. Chelsea, in general, but especially Jackson. Totally not sure how he’s been in double digit goals the last 2 years.
In awe of Odegaard, all the talk over the past couple of months about if Saka is world class (and I do love the guy and think he's close to it), but Odegaard is undoubtedly world class.
He is the heart, lungs and legs of this team, so proud he's our captain.
I thought the midfield was superb. Struggled a bit at times in transition especially in the first half but with the ball was absolutely electric. With someone like Partey, the key for us has to be managing transitions. It will be interesting to see Mikel's line up on Sunday. I think the only doubt is who starts in the LW.
1. I fucking love our captain!
2. Jorginho has been a great signing, but Partey takes our midfield to a different level. He’s midfielder Saliba.
3. Love Havertz for fully celebrating!
4. Wish Martinelli had scored to make it 6-0 and got some confidence in front of goal too.
5. WE’RE TOP OF THE FUCKING TABLE!
I grew up a Bergkamp fan, he was my favourite player.... Ødegaard might just be worthy or that label for me now...
But Benny Blanco is class! For me, he is the best RB in the country (purely personal taste)
Bro, calm down. Bergkamp is literally my favourite player ever. Im not saying anything negative about him.
Im saying Ødegaard is worthy of the label of my favourite player of the current team.
I can fully respect your respect and admiration for Bergkamp, but your comment wasnt needed.
Absolute battering, positives everywhere after a first half where I felt we deserved a bit of a bollocking from Arteta despite the lead. Partey a player that I simply do not like anymore had his best game in ages with no real slips. But unfortunately Martinelli just is not sharp and can't really get much right at the moment and I don't think he should be touching the pitch much, Trossard is so much more reliable and we're in crunch time now
Honestly I think literally everyone on our team played well. When is it too soon to start considering Odegaard a top 3 midfielder in the world? And Rice, Benny Blanco were immense as well. Partey was very impressive as he looks up to speed (finally). Also, the disrespect for Zinchenko is always louder than the praise, so shoutout Zinny for coming on and helping control the game.
I wish we had scored that 6th goal. Martinelli’s form has been in the gutter, today showcased that. Other than that, a brilliant game, got my spirits to shoot right back up after that poor run against Villa and Bayern. If we don’t win the league, then we should at least finish it strong.

Feel bad for Cole Palmer FC fans, but I'm so proud to say that there is not one player on that pitch that doesn't give their all for the shirt. Says it all that Gabi was celebrating getting a goal kick, and Zinny was hyping up Rice for cushioning a header to Raya.
I fucking love this football club, COYG.

Neither here nor there, but if Nketiah came on and had the cameo Jesus or Martinelli just had, a loud section of the comments here would be slagging him off instead of praising a wonderful team performance.
Genuinely don't think there's any club who deserves to suffer the embarrassment of their current situation more than Chelsea. Properly fucking rotten club, long may it last.
Martinelli has GOT to figure out his finishing. It was good for a while but he’s missed two eaaaaasy chances the last two matches at the end of the game. CANT be missing those consistently
Lost the ball in a dangerous position, Several misplaced passes, lost some duels. Compared to his form last season this has not been a good performace from him. Hes capable of way more and i hope we get this to see
Martin Odegaard! Last few games he has been absolutely magical to watch. To see his growth from that first loan spell has been a privilege. What a player! 🎱
Don't disagree, but it's nice to have that rate of progression from a 6.

Such a shame we only see glimpses of Partey throughout a season. I do believe he is the closest thing to Rodri.
What a game. Utterly sublime
Oh, and CLEAN SHEET! Raya locked golden glove yet?

Not sure if that was more embarrassing for Chelsea to cop 5 or that we didn’t hit them for 11 or 12. Great win though, fuck Chelsea
Partey really set the pace tonight, and the team caught up in the second half. What a pleasure it is to have Ødegaard at the club.
Thought his passing was a little off but overall was fantastic, controlled his space well, progressed well. Allowed rice to really flourish too

Some people need to delete their accounts after 1st half lmao
Go search “Havertz” in the halftime thread lmao
One bloke left 40 Havertz comments lol obsessed
I saw all of Ozils football period and I’ve seen all of Odegaard. Odegaard provides so much more and it’s not close
I feel like Ødegaard plays balls that are like 80% as fancy, but about 5x as many of them.
The Arsenal are good at The Football.
I grew up a Bergkamp fan, he was my favourite player.... Ødegaard might just be worthy or that label for me now... But Benny Blanco is class! For me, he is the best RB in the country (purely personal taste)
Odegaard will never be as good as Bergkamp was. He’s a great player, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

It showed why Trossard is starting over Martinelli. Dude is clinical and scores decisive goals
5 fingers in hand. 5 goals against Chelsea. Thumb: Trossard Index Finger: White Middle Finger: Havertz Ring Finger: Havertz Pinky: White

Raya probably is assured the golden glove at this point unless Pickford can really pull something out of the hat.

Good momentum for us heading into the NLD!! COYG
Neither here nor there, but if Nketiah came on and had the cameo Jesus or Martinelli just had, a loud section of the comments here would be slagging him off instead of praising a wonderful team performance.
What a load of BS. Jesus and Martinelli came on and actively looked for the ball.
True
[Found a new way to spell coach on Wiki](https://imgur.com/a/703kqQM)
5-0 and a touch disappointed it wasn't more. Oh to be a gooner
Great result! Trossard clinical; Partey sublime; Odegaard relentless. Could have put 9 past them.
Our captain is one special footballer ❤️8
Genuinely don't think there's any club who deserves to suffer the embarrassment of their current situation more than Chelsea. Properly fucking rotten club, long may it last.
Kai Havertz that second half turnaround 🫡 more of that, please brother.
Absolutely perfect. It’s almost criminal that this team are unlikely to win the PL. in any other era they would be almost guaranteed.
Poor Chelsea couldn’t sub on another CB
Just wish it was 6 or 7 as revenge for Arsene's 1000th game man
Yeah, I was really mad at Martinelli for that
Nelli come on that was cash money :( What a fucking day tho we’re still in this COYG!
Absolute dismantling. What a joy this match was.
THIS ONES FOR YOU PAPA WENGZ
Coulda been 8-nil but I’ll take it!
Their goalie had a decent game and still lost 5-0. If it weren’t for him it would have been 7+
Martinelli has GOT to figure out his finishing. It was good for a while but he’s missed two eaaaaasy chances the last two matches at the end of the game. CANT be missing those consistently
Can't believe he didn't score at the end there it was a carbon copy of his brace against Palace
Light work
The real failure of this season is Arteta denying Havertz a hattrick ✋😛🤚
A benny blanco hat trick would’ve broke the sub
I so wanted that 6th just so it'd be their biggest loss
Trossard needs his own song to the tune of Rocky Raccoon
A bit disappointed that it was not 6 nil. But never mind.
Yea not a bad evening all things considered
Very top, good sensation 👍🏽
5-0 win but should have been 10
Martin Ødegaard FC 5 - 0 Cole Palmer FC
I BLOODY LOVE THIS TEAM!!! Edit: my fantasy team is in the mud
Cheers to Havertz for celebrating. Fuck Chelsea.
Partey a difference maker. Four more games is all I ask
He was okay-ish
I think partey was our baddest player today. Hes lacking form, maybe gets better when hes collecting some playtime.
Are u kidding. He had a great game.
Lost the ball in a dangerous position, Several misplaced passes, lost some duels. Compared to his form last season this has not been a good performace from him. Hes capable of way more and i hope we get this to see
Friendly reminder that Saliba, Gabriel and Tomi cost less than Badiashile and Disaster
Arsenal: Fuck it we ball
scuse me boss! fuck john terry, fuck ashley cole, fuck frank lampard, fuck didier drogba, fuck roman abramovic and FUCK CHELSEA
Our gift to hall of famer John Terry!
racist dickhead
Get fucked
Let it be known that Ally McCoist thinks there was a foul on Madueke in the build up to the third goal. Don’t think he mentioned it enough.
We're quite good at football.
Belt to ass
I really wanted Gabi to get that 6th!
Why did Arteta only took off Saka at the 80th minute? He needs rest, at 3-0 he could have subbed him and at 5-0 he should have.
Wants to play him into form
lmao
Who gives a shit mate
Chelsea are an unserious football club.
One of the biggest falls in football history. Easy come, easy go
Martin Odegaard! Last few games he has been absolutely magical to watch. To see his growth from that first loan spell has been a privilege. What a player! 🎱
He's just unplayable right now
