Great opening 10 mins, West Brom fired up.

good for arsenal... now they might be able to get rid of Aubameyang
Skillful player, but way too lazy for the modern football.

Folks criticize Arteta, but Arsenal has 3+ players, many of whom are attackers, who will never work in a high press system.

Great confidence boost for Arsenal knowing they can beat a Championship side...incredible.

not even a championship side m8

it was basically the Baggies U23's

total market value (T-Markt) of the their starting XI was less than £7.5m (£2.5m of that was Reach, so subtract him the average MV was sub 500K quid)

and if you remove Snodgrass, the median age was 19.5 yo

their entire back 4's MV  was around 1m quid (GK plus the 3 CBs)

Pep leaving in 2 years. Chelsea fucked him many times, lets hope this trend continues this season and next one.

I glad they beat them the way they did ... because it is fun to know the reaction of the fans, suddenly the team is back, Aubameyang is back, 130m justified, etc etc ... complete 180 turn post all the defeats including pre season.... which would potentially go back to the same if they were to lose the next 2 games. Like A Pendulum! 

 

Note: Now that i have opened my big mouth, i hope i dont jinx the pendulum!!!
