The trend continues... Big fan of this approach to games!
6 goal contributions for Rice and 5 for Big Gabi

I think the Arsenal attack is doing alright
Say what you will about him, Gyokeres scores goals
To be fair, he did absolutely house the post with that shot
And he got an assist so hard to argue with it
Which are obviously very important to him
Friendly reminder that housing the post is not a shot on target

I think we've decided to embrace the next teams play a low block against us and force them into it. I wish we'd let more open play happen but like you said, we're doing great so can't really complain.
Has Arteta always had a propensity for the quarter-zip or is it a direct response to Wenger's sideline struggles with full-length zippers?
