Artetaball. These are all clips of some of the brilliant football Arsenal have played under Arteta. (A THREAD)

The way Tzolis plays just annoys me. It’s such NPC vibes. It’s like he’s been generated completely by AI. No personality about him at all, it’s just simply a body there.

Nobody wanted to win at Anfield more than Arteta. I’ve never seen him so happy after a win, man has never won here as a manager until today, so I definitely can’t blame him.

How bait was it that Havertz would score at Anfield after that performance against Fleetwood, incredible goal man

That Arteta stare down and words to Dowman after the red was nasty work. It’s different rules for certain players, wouldn’t do the same to Havertz, can’t even call him out for missing chances in pressers.

At least I was entertained, that’s all that matters, I was served a delicious meal this evening

That's absolutely class from Gyokeres fair play, phenomenal goal all round, have to applaud that, RHS Rice as well

The sad thing is that it was a guaranteed goal for Kane as well when he stepped to the penalty spot, because he's clocked Raya jumping early for pens. Did the same in 2024 at the Emirates, Kane knows he's always gonna bite for the stutter.

Bro Neuer and Raya are having a save-off, I'm on my feet, this is what real football is about

Really goes unnoticed some of the subtle things Saka does like holding the ball under contact and being a mini outlet in that sense. Generates such good football as well. You fully realize all of this when you lose him.

He shouldn’t face any punishment for being based. So many people did this in the USA and got away with it. And rightfully so.

Tzolis in these away games is gonna be a massive problem this season, he just can’t keep playing them or he’s gonna keep getting exposed physically

Trying to transition effectively with a Tzolis, Ødegaard, Saka, Havertz frontline, I laughed

Our lack of transition threat and quality in attack really comes to the fore in games like this. That Saka chance and Brighton scoring straight after sums it up. If only we had a chance to address that in the transfer window 🤷‍♂️

This is literally a rerun of our game against Brighton at the Amex last season, only difference is we got lucky for our bad performance, this time we haven’t

We might've actually downloaded capitalizing and scoring from winning the ball in the press OOP...

Every pass from Bruno G is directed and pointed with a purpose behind it from anywhere on the pitch, but mostly in the second phase and final third. We've needed this for too long. Too many guys don't play that ball to Saka.

What can't Brobbey hold up? Everything sticks like glue, I'm sitting here hoping at least one ball won't stick. It's so difficult to sustain pressure when the other team's CF can do this on a regular.
