My bad opinions are my own.
Yes that’s kind of what last night felt like to me, too. A breakout moment for two young players. It could be a defining moment for the season, if Gray and Bergvall are now trusted to start most games

This is so good to hear. I think this will be their breakout season, I know they did brilliantly last year but Gray was playing out of position pretty much all season, and we will see them viewed as one of the Prem's best midfield duos by the end of the season.

I’d rather Kudus as he didn’t start yesterday but we might not see 3 upfront, it may well be two strikers such as RKM and Richy or RKM and Tel

Thanks so much for the shoutout for the story, folks! This has really warmed my heart!

I hope so. They actually didn’t play together at Chelsea or Yanited either so I was disappointed to see them start together at Arsenal. Hoping the double pivot is really dead this time after an attempted resurrection from the grave

I’d quite like to see Tel and RKM as a strike partnership up top but yeah I also wouldn’t be surprised to see either of those two come back in! I’m okay with Palhinha playing as long as Bergvall and Gray or Xavi start as well. I just don’t want to see him play with Bentancur
November 27, 2025 at 2:46 PM
Didn’t Frank use Mbeumo and Wissa as a strike partnership upfront quite a lot at Brentford?

I'd like to see RKM and Tel play together on Saturday. Richy needs a break, despite being amongst the goals lately

I liked that formation. We might well switch to a midfield 3 again on Saturday but I’d be tempted to keep the one we went for? Seemed to work well aside from struggling to defend against the best attacking team in the world rn!

Gray, Bergvall, and RKM in particular all deserve a proper run in the team. Sarr had a bit of a tough game yesterday but he's still a good player. Did we play a diamond in midfield yday? It was 4 in the middle, wasn't it?

Honestly, I'm not really sure what a defender is supposed to do with their arm when they're sliding into a block and the shot is that close to them. I don't think that would've been a penalty in the Prem and rightfully so. Where is he supposed to put his arm in that scenario?

I'm really glad Archie played in midfield. I think he's got a huge future and I think he will soon show why we paid £40m for him at just 18. Frank's Brentford were also really close to signing him, so I hope he's going to be important for Frank. I would definitely go with Gray and Bergvall on Sat!
November 27, 2025 at 11:51 AM
Definitely!

I think picking Gray, Bergvall and Sarr and not going with the Bentancur-Palhinha double pivot away from home against the best side in the world rn says a lot. He could have taken the same approach that he took against Arsenal but this was different, I feel it's a positive sign of things to come

Yes, we still desperately need more quality in our squad depth. Great quality in multiple positions all over the pitch is why Arsenal are performing so well this season. We need to see much more investment in the squad if we want to be ultra competitive
