But I will take 2.
Not sure he will ever have it so easy to score a hat-trick for the Arsenal. But he was combative and sharp and scored two goals.
He really should have scored 5. Our last no. 14 would have scored all 5 of those chances today. I would so love for him to have a day (or many days) when he gets it all right and does score 4 or 5 or more. Against the scum or any of our other rivals would be even better.
I think he should do more finishing practice. This new formation means he'll get more and more chances. Feo and Alexis seem to be swapping a false 9 role at times, and Ozil is playing this season as more of a Bergkamp and less of a Cesc. If Feo could up his conversion rate, he'd be sorted.
He was a little unlucky with the shot that hit the inside of the post and went across the goal-line but missed a couple of easy ones.
But he's had a good start, if he plays like this all season I won't complain and he could score 25+ goals.
The only miss that bugged me was the last one. Tons of net to shoot at and had some time too. But I do think we may well have yet to see the best of him.
I'm not sure if you can teach or train Theo to be a more clinical finisher at this stage of his career. We have to be happy that he is starting to get into good goal scoring situations and be thankful that he is taking at least some of the chances he is presented with
1st one hits straight at keeper, every forward does that. 2nd one unlucky, inch further left and hits the post and goes in and the 3rd one, if you watch it bobbles up very slightly just as he makes contact. Another day he scores all 3 of those and messes up the other 2
The Ox must be a miffed though, should have had 2 assists
But what of aesthetics, ffs? A goal absolutely lashed on the volley into the top of the net from a tight angle, giving the keeper no chance is a thing of beauty and a joy forever, whereas a goal limply bounced in is a bit of a wet fart.
Sometimes soul must supersede mere technique or pragmatism. Mesut and I understand this. :nod:
Oh, yes. I am of course a complete hypocrite on this matter. Had he ****ed it and we'd gone on to drop points, I would have blamed him for not doing it more sensibly.
Btw, I was down Borough market yesterday and I noticed that that big cookshop ('Borough Kitchen, I think) stocks All-Clad pans if you want to add to your collection.
This bad boy.

Yes, it is a bit of a deep breath job... on the other hand, consider the silly stuff we pay money for and think nothing of; a pan which you will use every day and that will last a lifetime is probablya bargain at £500.
I'm not rushing in there though, to be honest.
You can't put a price on quality, p.
Although it does look like they've given it a f@cking good try. :-\
