That pass was Hale End certified.

Iād love to have him in stead of Xhaka (no criticism to Xhaka).
Credit where itās due, that was one of the passes of the season, KDB and Ozil would be proud.

That was a trademark Modric pass.

From about 2020 onwards became a bit of a Willock stan.
I remember him growing on me quite a lot between 2020-21 after initially thinking he was bang average.
Think heād have been really good in that Xhaka role with his engine and footwork

I donāt think our style of play would suit him at all. Unbelievable on the break and in stretched games. But quite poor if youāre tippy tappying it with the opposition all 10men behind the ball.
Heās in the 11% percentile for passes completed.
Itās a shame heās not with us because heās talented and super likeable but letās be real itās best for all parties he is where he is.

Not worse than Xhaka really.
We barely use Xhaka in the bulid up in those situations anyway, Zinchenko basically takes his roleā¦ His job is to make those off the ball runs and make a a simple quick pass here and there. I think Willock would probably be more dangerous in that role with his athleticism, mobility, better dribbling and also better finishing.
Buy, yeah, going forward I think Arteta will eventually āinstallā a more techical player there. I guess he tried that already (or heās still trying) with Vieira.
The glasses always get rosier when someone leaves (unless itās Ramsey).
Was an unreal pass 
but he isnāt good enough for us overall and Xhaka is comfortably better.

Really happy for Willock, heās been brilliant for Newcastle and is a big reason why they even have Premier League status. Two things can be true at once though, he can be a good player and a bad fit for Arsenal.
Fuck we really rattled Newcastle didnāt we? 
I bet that goes down well in Geordie Arabia.

They already got the undeserved 3 pointsā¦ no complain
So can we get our 1 point back for what would be a draw??
Willock watching from the bench:
Dude was celebrating the goal he scored because he thought he mistakenly felt he extended the score for us. 
Hale End rejectsā¦aka Crystal Palaceā¦
Thought it was birthday for a second
Are our reserves playing at Selhurst Park these days?
