PERSPECTIVE
Five games ago, Arsenal went in to the Everton match second in the league a point behind City. They're now six points clear of the chasing pack.
In that time they have taken 13 points from five PL games where last season they took just four from the equivalent fixtures.

Arsenal is a world class club, and so minutes should absolutely come at a premium and they have to be earned and justified.
But there is a WHOLE lot of noise around $70m Gyokeres' production and almost NO noise about $70m Eze being an unused sub in 3 straight premier league games.

Am I the only person Arsenal supporter who is constantly thinking that Mikel Merino looks just like the actor Tom Ellis or is there a whole on-line sub-community of gunner fans or Lucifer fans that talk about it and I just haven't been invited yet?

I just realized that the Colts bye week is falling on an Arsenal international break. And LouCity went out of the playoffs early. And Iowa now can't make the CFP. And the Pacers are in a gap year. And baseball season is over.

506 scoreless minutes for Arsenal opponents? That sounds good... is that good?
Interestingly, my favorite domestic team here in the states is on a 501 minute streak of their own.
I've watched over 1,000 minutes of soccer without watching the teams I support surrender a goal.

This is why you go get an Eze.
Humdrum game with nothing happening. One moment of individual quality to earn the points.
Oh, and the best damn defensive unit I've ever seen. All 8 back line rotation players. Both keepers. All 3 DM options. And an offensive approach that maximizes their skillset.

I dont have nlmuch to say about UFL being played at LFS. I'm fine with it.
But they DROPPED the ball on the color scheme. They are the KINGS but didnt go with Royal Purple? They didnt mimic the local teams colors... and they copped it from Lexington's soccer team? Weird. This is so much better:

Reviewing Arsenal's great run of defensive form had me looking for historic context.
Begrudgingly, that context has brought me to Mourinho's 04/05 and 05/06 Chelsea teams. Good GRACIOUS those teams were brutal.
