Haven't stopped smiling since Emi buried his goal of the season contender for us.... and then the complete banter of our fourth one.... ooh.... if I was a bird my wide-on would have inhaled my chair.

Reminiscent of 2004 when we were behind at anfield after a shit week going out the champions league and fa cup and many questioning our character. Went non to win that game 4-2 as well.
Obviously this squads a bit different(!) but hopefully today will be used to spur us on and keep our title challenge going for a bit longer!
Eddie is still our second biggest issue for me, he is just not a striker you need when challenging for the title. No matter what happens in the rest of the season Arteta must sign another striker in the summer
Agree with this Muzz. We're trying to challenge for the title while carrying two passengers. Xhaka, of course, is worse than just a passenger, he's a twelfth man for the other side, but Eddie is simply not good enough. We needed a striker in January and not getting one will cost us.
Eddie has absolutely no presence up front, he offers no threat, or even a nuisance level. If you're a centre half and you're about to face Kane, Haaland, Salah, Rashford, Toney, you know you've got a job on your hands, but you'll lose no sleep knowing that you're playing against Eddie. For me, the centre forward and the goalkeeper are the two most important positions in the team, because both can win you points that you haven't earned and both can cost you points too. Don't know if many would agree with this, but I'd have been happy to sign Mitrovic in January. He'd have been a god addition for the second half of the season, probably wouldn't have been too expensive and he's definitely a presence up front. In the summer, we need to add a top level striker.
Mitrovic wouldn't be the world's worst call, but neither would Arsenal fan Ollie Watkins. Would be a great addition I think
There were lots of rumours of us looking at Watkins in the transfer window the season before last
Can’t help but feel the VAR robbery will decide the title in some way. 5 points clear is a lot different to 3 points clear and having to go away to City. Mason should be looking over his shoulder.
