Difference maker today. Well played.

Wasn’t due to start but want mentally ready to come on and do a job. Looked like he played well from the highlights. The early sub must have also been with Chelsea on Tuesday in mind.

Really pleased for him to contribute towards the two goals. Stepped up and delivered. Hopefully that does well for his confidence and he can continue to provide consistent output.

Thought a shot that is heading towards goal counts as a goal for the attacker, not an own goal if it is deflected or influenced by the opposition?

Either way, good cameo from Noni yesterday. He is so good in the 1v1. If adds the pass/assist/goal after that to his game he will be golden.

Yeah, I am very confused why it’s credited as an OG.

Olympico :dizzy:

Scored his first EPL goal for Arsenal - from a set-piece in true fashion.

Now on 2 G/As :grin:

yeah I always thought the rule was if it looks like the ball was going in anyway they give it. maybe that’s what they see here on replays or something?

That performance should give him a lot of confidence and he seems like a player who needs that to be at his best.

I was still among the most positive people about him. You don’t have to respond to me :wink:

He only really lacked end product but was never anywhere near as bad as many were making him to be just a few days ago.

Unfortunately goalscorers changed by a dubious goals panel post-match do not apply to settled bets

Wow! That stinks.

I was tempted to put money on us scoring directly from a corner this season. Damn it.

Pretty crap last night, but that was a fantastic header.

I feel like we never set him up to do his best work. Last night we just passed to him when there is at least one defender pinned to him right on the sideline and then expect him to dribble all the way in and create something.

We need to work the opposition players more centrally and then play out to him.

Has started 6 games in a row now. This is why we bought him, to cover the Saka hole.

An unrelated observation, I love how he is channeling the spirit of early 2000s NBA players with those baggy ass shorts

It was great to see him score today. Great pass and movement from Noni and a good finish. Really needs to work on his crossing and end product, but there is a player there.

Looked completely disinterested and tried to hide for about 20 mins.

Not sure if Arteta told him something or some Mansfield player pissed him off but it’s like a switch went off at one point and he immediately got engaged, but he was totally unplayable after that.

They genuinely couldn’t get the ball off of him unless he released it himself.
