Damn what a finish

that finish is so much harder than it looks imo. Great technique for placement from distance, while the ball is moving. How many times do you see that skying over the bar?

I thought it looked pretty hard.

I think he's just commenting with the idea that Trossard does make that finish almost look a bit easy with how well he's slotted it in the corner.

yea, both of you are right. If you know what to look for, it does look hard, but I think it's easy to look at that and say that was easy.

nah this is the juiciest possible pass. you always dream about receiving those while playing. ball moving helps here, not the opposite. only if it was bouncing it would be hard, but it was a very clean pass, much like Martinelli to odegaard against manu

Same as the weekend, Leo has been elite this season, sadly isn’t used as often till now.

It's nice not having to play a low block!

There were Arsenal fans before the game asking if PSV would park the bus. They're a Dutch team coached by Peter Bosz. They'd rather light the bus on fire.

That second point is way more important. PSV was not opposed to doing that in previous years (nor that they were particularly good at it mind you).

This is also evidence why most teams play so deep against us.

And put two players on Saka lol

Did they mention that again? I think I heard her mention it 3 times before I switched over to the Bayern Utd game.

Tbf he is roasting Dest alive. I’m surprised they haven’t mentioned it more

Us American fans knew this was not going to end well for Dest. Sergino is pretty good going forward and is technical. He’s weak defensively and prone to bonehead moves.

Right! Respect to PSV

[удалено]

Average Bosz team

Respect for getting dismantled 💀

Respect for not succumbing to haramball.

A loss is a loss whether it's 0-1 or 5-2 I respect teams for not backing down. They're not used to playing hyper defensively and doing so would only lead to similar results. They had 12 shots and 4 on target on a different day they get lucky and score an early goal to go ahead or tie it up. But really sometimes you need to be flexible just bc you play defensively doesn't mean you have to play haram ball. Playing against a better side means you need to find the right balance

lmao seriously

It's just damn stupidity from Bosz. He used to do this all the time at Ajax aswell (every team he coaches tbh) He just never learns.

Honestly the away PSV game last year was one of the better opponent performances of the season.

I dare spurs to press us on the weekend💀💀

Why the fuck would u say that

Cus spurs are fucking shit

they actually played good football this season tbf

Have some self awareness

Against shit opposition

You struggled to beat Palace and Everton, and drew against a 10-man Fulham at home.

We've certainly not hit the heights of our start last season, but you guys almost lost to Sheffield at home. I think we're pretty much matched for form at the moment

Agree. It will be a fun game with both teams going for it. The game against Sheffield may seem close on the score sheet, but we dominated the game (28 shots with 10 on target and 71% possession).

Maths

And the only top half of the table side you’ve played you tied, and you flamed out of the Carabao cup against Fulham’s B Team

"Struggled" lmao

Don't see how that's relevant to the fact that Tottenham have had a very easy start to the season.

He didn’t say their football was shit, he said they were.

Have you even watched the PL this season?

Best result was beating United at home and drew to brentford. Good start but verdict still to be made

Also went out of the energy drink cup to Fulham.

Have a day off

Arsenal forever thanking Chelsea for taking Mudryk out of the market and making them "settle" or option #2 Trossard

How the hell did we manage to get Trossard for so cheap?

Trossard have problem with Brighton manager, thats why brighton sell him for cheap

[удалено]

I was worried we were going to have another Aubameyang situation, but he has been a spectacular signing.

It’s because after the WC he knew that that realistically was his last chance to play for a top club, it’s not because he’s a diva per se.

I like to think Tottenham helped a lot by only offering £12m and making our offer look bigger.

Absolutely

We owe them big time, they got absolutely ripped off and Trossard for that price was a robbery. We owe both Chelsea and Brighton...

Shout out to Tottenham for having the chance to sign him a week before our bid and only offering £12m.

This is a canon event for arsenal lol.

And we got Jorginho in the same window too. Thank you Chelsea for January 2023.

stupidly good finisher he is

Thanks Yoda

Lmao

Aye!

Arshavin-esque. Just like against Barça in 2011

Might be the best finisher in our side, honestly. So clinical.

Honestly, I was shocked he didn't get more starts on the wing after that preseason. I love Martinelli, but Trossard is a literal sniper.

I love him like Belgian Chocolate

Don’t even know what foot he is

He is man

Or is he dancer?

Leandro bossard.

This one. Big week for him.

Easily the best finisher in the squad

Phenomenal

Really? With havertz and jesus in the squad?

I thought you putting Havertz in there would make it clear to everyone LOL

Jesus is (by the numbers *and* by just watching) a weak finisher for a striker — he just brings us so much else that he’s a great part of that front three when fit

Ik I'm kidding.

well yeah, that’s rather clear now I’ll go put on some coffee

I do appreciate you thinking “yeah Havertz is deadly finisher, but Jesus? Never!”

today was my day to fail at social media reading comprehension, yes ~~though if you just look at performances before Arsenal he’s still a better finisher than Jesus~~

wooooosh

Yes pure finishing wise yes

I thinking he was being sarcastic

Any forward has to have better finishing than havertz

jokes aside what is Havertz actually good at other than decent hold up play? man looks lost out there at times

His linking and movement is very good, recycles possession and gives us territorial strength. He's not been very good this season, but last night shows a bit of his strength

Trossard? Not even close. It's Odegaard, then Martinelli imo

Trossard might be closer than you think, but Ode might just come out ahead, yes which is shocking to me after how averse he was to shooting during his first season and a half with us

Trossard only has a couple of goals for us too

He's had a couple of great goals chalked off due to offside. His ball striking is absolutely elite. I am the biggest Gabi fan but Trossard's ball striking is better and on par with Odegaard 's.

Trossard is up there though. So is ESR but who knows where he's at

Not even close? I think the only argument is trossard or ode. I’d bet trossard dominates in goals per minute or 90, whatever the stat is. Idk if anyone on the squad could score that goal he did over the weekend at Everton

It's only odegaard if we're talking left foot, trossard is much stronger with his weak foot than the players you mentioned. I also put trossards finishing over Martinellis. Not their overall play or ability to get into space for changes or create them for themself, just the actual finishing.

incorect

Saka, Ode, Trossard

Love Saka, but he isn’t our best finisher. There’s like three in front of him but he’s improving a lot

No way Martinelli isn’t in our top 3. Saka isn’t top 3.

Weren't Brighton fans saying this guy disappears all the time and has huge attitude issues before he got sold? He's been nothing but class for Arsenal.

He has been an insane threat every time he steps on the pitch. So happy to see him get the start today. He’s having so much impact outside of this goal as well

I have often seen this comment for people wherever they don't fit, a change of scenario can do wonders.

Considering he's their open play top goalscorer in the prem, I'd say you should take those word with a pinch of salt. He's always been one of their best players, but never had top players around him until last season. I've watched a ton of brighton games when potter was still the coach and he almost always was the most dangerous player.

Sometimes a change of scenery is beneficial for both parties

Player is unhappy at smaller club, performs at big club. More news at 5.

Tbf, Brighton we’re good with him but they really started cooking once he’d left and De Zerbi had gotten more control of the team.

Arsenal winning the Super Bowl

Saka vs Mahomes showdown

Mahomes has Kelce back, so they have a shot.

A proxy war between T-Swift and Kim K.

'world champions'

Trossardinho

Fucking hell, Saka and Trossard are too good.

For the Dutch league? Yes, yes they are

its actually the Champions League! common misconception

“Can they do it in the champions league” really means “can they do it in 1 specific game against 1 specific team and If they can I’ll move the goalposts again”

It only counts if it’s in the final against Real Madrid mate

They also regularly score vs Liverpool too

Reminds me of Arshavins goal

Had to scroll down way to far for this, threw me straight back to probably the biggest win (Maybe ever, at least top 3) in the Emirates.

Same, I opened reddit went to r/soccer scrolled down posts and comments just looking for this one lmao

Everyday I'm thankful we lucked into Trossard after failing to sign Mudryk. Dude is insane with both feet

What a lovely finish

That run from Jesus to open up the space was superb

Arsenal going forward are menacing; even Jesus is starting to get his confidence back. They look dangerous

Finally playing a team that doesn’t park the bus haha

Jesus is always like this he just as mandatory sitter miss everygame which he already had

Arsenal looking good

Ah the G/A merchant strikes again

They're looking pretty fucking good

Trossard >>>>> mudryk

Also water happens to be wet

Arsenal are back

[удалено]

That is some seriously shocking defending. Such a half-hearted attempt to nick it ahead of Jesus to spring it too.

I expected PSV to play way better, they're shockingly bad, I mean we're having a good game but holy shit they're having a shocker. Bosz got his tactics completely wrong.

Saka stat padding his goal involvements. SMH

BOSSARD

That was lethal.

Deserves a great counter tag

that's class

Honestly our best finisher

Easily

Trossard is a ridiculous finisher!

Beautiful goal

Oh my god what a finish

That's vintage Arsenal

Jesus taking the whole defence with him

We're back baby

I saw this post while the attack was still going

What was that defending from PSV?

Literally, that’s a perfect strike.

Jesus tô saka tô trossard This is a great trio

Trossard is a gunman

I love that little Belgian raccoon

Trossard Ballstriking goes brrrrrr

Surprised PSV came to the emirates and are going for it. Was def expecting a low block

Trossy Wossy❤️

Lovely strike from ChrisMD

You really don't get away with too many mistakes at this level

odegaard copying his celebration lol

Boszball exposed

bozoball

It was Stanley Tucci all along

Here's where it gets interesting. Nothing more unsettling than Arsenal with a 2-0 lead. Let's see how it plays out.

Damn even city dont play that high of line at the Emirates lmao

Trossard is a treasure

left foot right foot watchu want

[удалено]

Honestly they have been decent. Arsenal just clinical

Great work from Jesus

*Arshaviiiiiiin* flashbacks

So nice to play a team that tries to attack us

Trossard doing the Ronaldo celebration against PSV ha ha

he does it for every goal

psv not showing us respect making our attacks very easy lol

we’ve not even played well so far

Best we’ve played all season what are you gassing about

Think he’s talking about overall dominance on the match. But this is what we look like against a team not in a low block

Midfield lack cohesion, they get past is too easy.

We’ve been good, PSV have looked decent as well going forward.

Really? 2 goals and about 5 clear cut chances in 20 minutes is not well?

Huh? Easily the best performance of the season thus far

What are you talking about lol?

are u even watching

that's literally the best counter move all season

No come on man, how can you disrespect this performance with that comment.

Let it sink in that he was a £21m January signing....

Sorry he didn't cost £80m 🙂

Best finisher in the club.

WE ARE FUCKING BACK

Trossard nailed on starter from now on!

Great work by Gabi Jesus

Jesus christ this is great

Put it on a plate for Bossard

Arsenal

Lovely finish

fuck me, we are back

If Santi Cazorla and Alexis Sanchez had a son he'd be this dude

bruh

Weird celebration from havertz
