Go on then I'll go first. All over Napoli, excellent professional performance. Had Saka, Merino, Hincapie, Noni and Tzolis scored easyish chances, it would have been an easier night. Viktor and Kai not missing chances, but worry Viktor nowhere to be seen. Salba is a legend, but boy doesn't Konza look good. Pound for pound best buy of window imo (early days obviously) . COYG.

Where are all the goals from corners this season? All these goals from open play leave you with absolutely no time to adopt the cheering position and get your phone ready to capture a selfie to post on social media.
It's a total lack of consideration for fans' needs from the club, if you ask me. ???

It was a good performance against a low-block Italian side, and we managed to create many chances, but failed to take most of them. But 3 points, on to the next game.
Viktor was never in the game; there was hardly any service, and it feels like the players don't want to play to his strengths.
A win away in Italy is all that matters, though, as we have a slightly tougher set of fixtures in the league this season.

We are currently out of the automatic qualification places for the Champions League knockout stages. Arteta out?

Viktor just does not suit how we play, and his first touch is awful in my opinion. Keep with King Kai.

It's a long season with lots of games to come, Stephen, mate. Victor might yet have his moments to shine in. ?

We definitely do not play to his strengths. If he produces 20 goals again this season, and with the other goals coming from across the park, I'd be ok with it.
With Arsenal, there is no telling where the goals will come from.
Our midfield is just so strong. Timber and Fury are a frightening prospect for any team in world football, with Saka and Tzolis interchanging.
So excited to see our full-strength team out.

He's not at the level we need - simple.
Finish, touch, speed, aggression, hold up - he's decent but nowhere near good enough if we want to win the league / Champ League.
Sorry, but anyone saying otherwise is just backing out, playing blindly, which is fine.

I'm not being negative, Gunner 62. I'm just saying, in my opinion, he is not a player that suits how we play, and has no first touch. If we played with balls in behind, he would go good running onto them, but we don't.

It was not long ago we were all saying the same thing about Kai. Some called him a donkey. Some called for Arteta to be sacked for bringing him in. The same with Raya replacing Ramsdale. We are too quick to jump down the firing line. Give the lad time to play and adapt. At first, he scored more than I anticipated. Currently, he has had very little game time, and the team is still adapting. The beauty of our team is we are not depending on one player to bring the goals in.
Give it time, and Victor will become victorious. Just look at teams who go down the hire-and-fire route. We are in a great position; trust the process, and watch us eclipse the Fergie era and the Liverpool era. Looking at our team, management, and fans, we are in a very strong position. Let the people that are paid very well do their job n let us do ours. Enjoy the games n support the team, be that extra man on the pitch.

Hi Stephen, mate, I didn't think you were being negative, and I agree his first touch is very poor a lot of the time.
He had his moments last season and im just saying I think he will again this season, hopefully some really good moments at some really important times. ?

Just think Viktor knows where the goal is, but against Napoli he was not on the end of anything. However, it was his first start. He will score and play his part. The worry was he wasn't missing them by being in the right place.
Is it blind faith? Who knows? But, at this point, we have who we have, and we are currently top and undefeated and looking quite good, so I'm happy COYG.

G4E, you could argue we aren't reliant on one person because we don't have a world class striker. Until then, I have to be content with Kai, who will work hard & press, which the manager likes, but will slow us down, miss chances and not do what a striker does. At least he has a good football brain. I struggle when that's our Plan A. Our Plan B is even worse, as he offers less & doesn't trouble top top teams.
We need a cutting edge, and those two aren't it. Sorry to be negative. We are where we are, and I will get on with it. However, the sane people will praise Noni, who lacks end product. Our signings are still a bit poor, we have an amazing squad, but we need a slight upgrade in the starting 11, namely the attack. Our attack is nowhere near as good as our defence. Do you not agree? If you do, then what?

I don't disagree with wanting better signings. If we didn't look to improve, and stood still, that would be the same as going backwards. What I do have a problem with is this instant success some of us look to get, and the fire and fire mentality. If a change is made, give it time to bed in, work the system, and then adjust. If a player is bought on a multiple year contract, don't get the knives out after season one.
This window, we all saw us being linked to players who turned us down. The day is on where players of a very high calibre will be knocking Berta's door for him to sign them. It's coming, boys. It's not going to be easy, and it won't happen overnight, but we are almost there.
Stay together, stick to the process. F*** the others. It's all about us, and we are the champions, and will remain for a long time to come.

We also saw us dither, G4E. The boss clearly identified areas & we dithered & got distracted while others added/secured good attacking options all across Europe.
Anyway, hoping for a big 3 points today.
