White missing out evident. There’s a reason Arteta always uses him, even in cup games where we rotated.
Yawn
It hasn’t been a riveting start.
Theres no such thing as a London derby ffs, always gets on my tits
I’m a little confused? How so?
Surprised? This was always one where fine margins would come into play, us eeking it if we were to get the three points.
This is the only problem I have with our current side, there’s no pace and urgency from the off in most games, especially where we need to make a statement.
I know it’s easier said than done and we’re not particularly playing ‘bad’ per se but it’s the same kind of drab tempo we saw in those 3 shocking losses.
Well done Tomi
He’s so solid

West ham and Arsenal aren’t competitive or local rivals.
This match isn’t a london derby like Arsenal vs QPR or Brentford isn’t either.
NLD is a real rivalry. This isn’t, and it shouldn’t be described as such
I mean I don’t consider this a major derby but technically West Ham we’re our original local rivals
Solid argument.
Our attack has been as sharp as a slab of butter so far
My commentator mentioned that both Elneny and Xhaka made their first major steps in Basel. Never realized that.
Evidence to never sign a former Basel player ever again.
Look how deep Xhaka and Elneny have to drop because Gabriel and Holding can’t start shit from the back.
Worried we don’t have enough to get a goal today
