    My favourite moment was Gabi skipping past TAA like he was a pylon

    Well that was enjoyable - clearly the better team and clearly in the chase for the league.

    Well done Arsenal and well done Arteta!

    Nice of Liverpool to return the favour

    Jorginho excellent in two different roles and, I have criticised him previously, Raya was excellent- flawless handling throughout.

    Gary Neville agrees with you re Jorginho making him MotM. I too have eaten my previous critical words.

    Havertz defended well in the latter stages.

    The Gabriel - Polish Chap attacking combo was pretty impressive!

    Perhaps we've found the midfield we were looking for - they were all awfully good and we seemed to have the right balance.

    We've drawn with Liverpool away in a very even game, completely outplayed them at home and deservedly beaten City at home.

    This should be fun

    And no doubt you noticed that Gabi and Saka had far more 1v1s with the FBs than we usually see.

    Possibly because we moved it more quickly through midfield (even with Rice there ) or possibly because Liverpool didn't actually come for a draw. Or possibly both.

    Our press was electric in the first half, we caught them out again and again. Most of the exposure came from that rather than from our deep possession (e.g. the first goal). Raya also set us off on counter attacks, including the one where Martinelli completely roasted them

    Still, we never really played out through the press, we went long (e.g. the wonderful second goal). Havertz certainly makes this more effective.

    Odegaard still isn't playing at his best but he contributes so much.

    You did see our first goal did you, Peter?

    Raya was as much at fault for their goal as Saliba, he started to come and then stopped. Should have cleaned everyone out
