This Hurzeler headloss is going to feed my family for generations. He’s absolutely pissed his pants and revealed himself for the weasel he really is.

Yessssssssssssssssssss

Our technical level was in hell tonight but you can always count on this team to battle. Thought that was an unbelievable defensive effort - particularly those last 20 minutes - and sometimes you get lucky with other results.

Gabriel and Hincapie were absolutely huge. Headed everything away. BIG!

Fuck Brighton. Fuck Fabian Hurzeler. Up the Arsenal. Up The Nottingham Forest.

HUGE NIGHT! ❤️

Hincapie has been MONSTROUS this second half

Brighton losing their heads, too emotional, shaped by their manager etc etc

Trossard had so much time there 😭

We have been diabolical tonight hahaha

Kavanagh is waiting. Growing stronger with each decision. There is some bullshit coming tonight I can feel it.

HT: I think I've made peace with all our remaining league games being an absolute slog. We look tired and short on technical quality without key references in the side.

Missing Saliba in our build up, ball doesn't stick up front. Gabriel and Hincapie good but otherwise tough.

Why is that not a yellow card for Gomez? He booked Mosquera for the same thing?

Expected weasel off the charts with Hurzeler.

Yeah I know, I'd still want my keeper to save that.

No idea what Verbruggen is doing there but we take those!

Start as you mean to go on!

We took a point off this Wolves super team.

That's old news. I've now been upgraded from random Wolves Portuguese NPC to David Raya lookalike.

I don't really think those players exist anymore ~full stop. Apart from Vitinha, Pedri, Kimmich, maybe Pavlovic, there aren't any Jorginho-style guys available or proven enough at the highest level.

Then you're either gambling on another 6/8 profile (Tonali, Anderson?) or another young player.

I think we need him to get on the ball and calm us down - Jorginho, Odegaard more natural controllers - but I'm not shocked he's flagging; in one of the most physically demanding positions in the most physically demanding league.

The same thing happened to Timber - mental fatigue just as important.

Zubimendi was poor yesterday and has struggled recently (some big games have exposed him a little bit) but this season he's played:

🔺 More outfield minutes than any other Arsenal player
🔺 Run more (km) this season than any other Arsenal player
🔺 Run more (km) this season than any other PL player

Your cheque will be in the post.

Can't believe how badly we've been managing games and/or leads this calendar year. It's basically a different team to what we were watching August-December.

It's an unbelievable delivery from Rice but how shit that you can't celebrate goals like that. I was just waiting for VAR intervention - but Sanchez is having a laugh if he thinks that's a foul. Big header from Timber because we were struggling.

I feel like I know where this game is going.

HT: Frustrating to be level. We figured Chelsea out, went ahead and wasted too many opportunities in transition when they were treading water. Good set pieces change games (as we know).

Been fine overall but lacking conviction. Trossard struggling.

We've been so wasteful in the final third. Wrong choice of pass, wrong weight of pass, should've punished Chelsea way more in transition here.

Caicedo anger management gimmick

SET PIECE AGAIN OLEE OLEEEEEEE

That's MILES OFF? 😂

Into these.
