yeah but why did we not go early in then. just stupid. While i think jesus would not look anywhere this good with us, he would for sure make a difference. Against  weaker sides Arsenal will always be more comfortable than us with their electric attack and extra no.10 but vs the bigger sides they will all struggle. Jesus however has shown he can occasionally create goals on his own even in big games. That is why I think he would be a good fit. He is no Agüero in this regard but he is a team player. And that is what we need an attack. Someone who does the donkey work, presses, holds up the ball and yet can provide that spark when nothing else goes.

Probably because Marina, Cech, and Buck left, also we wanted to get rid Lukaku first.

I don't get the Jesus hype. Let's wait 6 months

and he is one of the best pressing CF's on the planet

He also wanted the reassurance of being a guaranteed starter, which is something we couldn't give him.

Thursday then Sunday fixtures will kill them

Top four is going to be hard earned for all if Arsenal and Spurs keep playing the way they are. I hope this is a false dawn.

Spurs at least look horrible to watch. 

But not sure if that's saying much. During our title win under Conte we've also ground out lackluster 1-0 wins along the way, because of Costa's goal threat. This 1-0 win doesn't seem that different.

Arsenal on the other hand seem to be playing well. They've also been given an easy run of fixtures to begin with (unlike last season). The only problem for them is that they will have tougher fixtures when we reach the congested parts of the season. Will be interesting to see how they cope.

It's interesting how when it's come to media/pundit predictions not many have placed us 4th...hopefully turn out wrong but majority have us us 5th.

Arsenal obviously will change but compared to last year look decent so far! Sense of direction and all

Why on earth couldn’t we guarantee that ? Literally don’t have a striker

I think that has a lot to do with the change of ownership and our transfer window was a mess at the beginning. If our players and staff are focused, we should be in the race for at least 2nd. This World Cup mid season is going to have an effect on someone. No idea who in the top six get injuries and a changed season, but it will take someone down.

Tuchel is determined to keep Havertz or a winger in the 9 spot. Play an actual 9…. 🤷‍♂️

We have Broja & Havertz, with the latter needing to play upfront to be of any use.

Who do Arsenal have, Nketiah?

2nd?!?!  How?! Not sure about that way we've started. Gotta score to be high 

True. And they've made decent signings where ours..hmmm.

Guess time will tell but if they keep playing way they have and scoring well...crap times for us
