    Everyone referring to Sheffield United as Sheffield is probably triggering so many of their fans and it is completely unintentional.

    Despite so many injuries, and key players resting, Arsenal’s looks formidable. This season, Arsenal have the depth to go all the way through.

    Won’t get much attention, but Havertz also had a very good performance. Only thing missing was the goal, and he almost got it too at the death.

    Have a feeling that he’s starting to get into his own, him also playing on his preferred right 8 role today.

    Promising signs over-all

    Good win but Arteta constantly treading outside the technical area ruined all the fun for me, what a despicable, miserable character

    Nketiah continues to dab on the haters. He’s even top goalscorer for Arsenal now! Think his ability to spin, turn and shoot is genuinely his greatest asset. Throw in his improved linkup play and you can see why Arteta still rates him.

    Also just generally a good vibes match for Arsenal today. ESR starting and assisting a goal, Kiwior starting, Elneny coming on, Vieira and Tomiyasu scoring. That was fun!

    Genuinely not seen a Sheffield United team as bad as this since the League One days.

    Great time to be a Derby fan.
