Jesus is getting worse. His finishing sucks, always has done. Get the feeling he is too desperate to make an impression and it is affecting his decision making.

I hope to god Arteta doesn't get the idea that Partey at right back works. It really doesn't. Defensively he isn't going to be able to cope if someone runs at him and he doesn't have the legs to go past Saka. At times we needed that in the first half.

Their corner that hit the bar. Now THAT is what a foul on the keeper looks like.
Jesus always looks immense pre season and then falls off a cliff in September.
Havertz goal proves beyond doubt that those confidence issues are a thing of the past. Excellent movement and really stuck his laces through it.
Not sure what the end solution is for the back four.
I still favour White at RB and Timber‘s pace at LB.
The club should get Partey to sign a one year extension. Allowing him to walk for free is a sin.
Would also have liked Arteta to be a bit more courageous with Nwaneri against poorer teams. Paying 32m for Merino has possibly created a problem.
