Rice was fantastic, and apart from his mistake (which he promptly made up for), I thought Zinchenko played very well today. Tough game, not a good performance, but a very good win. Happy for Kai.
Arsenal’s season in a microcosm… relatively comfortable in defence and seemingly incapable of scoring… but they somehow manage a goal.
Flekkin doesn’t inspire me very much. He does a lot of strange things under no pressure that don’t get punished
Cleansheet with ramsdale “thrilling moment” every match or 1 goal conceded with raya every match???
I would take as much as “thrilling moments” as long as it doesn’t end up a goal lol.
Like asking if you’d rather win a tenner or get kicked in the bollocks that haha
Ghoddos worked his ass off for 90 minutes. Shame the slip-up led to a goal. Tough to play out of position against a great team
