Viktor Gyokeres has been described as many things. Arsenal’s final piece of the puzzle is one. Gamble is another. A look at how the “physical machine” helps Arteta’s project with insight from those who worked with him at Coventry. #AFC

Arsenal's Madueke move will split opinion. After Williams and Rodrygo talk, this being the LW purchase may take some convincing, if he is the only wide man to come in. Looks more comfortable on the right, but sample size on the left is small. #AFC.

This dominant, treble-winning PSG team were beaten on xG in just six matches this season. Those games were: Monaco (A), Bayern Munich (A), Aston Villa (A), Arsenal (A), Arsenal (A), Arsenal (H).

The stat doing the rounds after the game. Arsenal have failed to produce a double-digit league goalscorer for the first time since 1923-24. Even compared to recent history, the need for more firepower is evident. It's not just a striker either. #AFC

Looks like Nwaneri is going to get a go in the Odegaard role today. Arsenal warmed up with Sterling, Merino and Martinelli as the front three #AFC.

Once again Declan Rice pops up with the goods. His 19 goal involvements is a boost for this Arsenal team. At the same time, that tally being only bettered by Bukayo Saka highlights the problems in this team. Numbers, quality and ruthlessness needed across the board. #AFC.

Arsenal vs Newcastle about to kick off. The difference in prize money between second and third place last season was £2.8m, if you’re interested. Winner *basically* secures CL football. #AFC

Some thoughts after last night. One word that keeps coming up is ‘ruthless’. Feels like we’re at a critical point of how we’ll remember Arteta’s Arsenal. Injuries will spare Arsenal this year but Berta + clock ticking means no excuses next season. #AFC

Absolutely loved last night’s Champions League semi, a game anyone couldn’t take their eyes off. Lots of talk about youthful Yamal, but was outshone by 37-year-old Acerbi. This is how Simone Inzaghi has now confirmed Inter as part of Europe’s elite.

48.5% of Arsenal's Premier League goals conceded this season have come from set pieces. It's by far and away the worst record in the Premier League, even worse than Wolves - who have conceded 22 times from dead balls this season. #AFC.

Just chalk and cheese. Declan Rice just isn't a defensive midfielder. Interesting what Thomas Tuchel (in the director's box here at the Emirates) makes of it. #AFC

At the Emirates - Arteta running the risk by naming such a strong team for this one. 24 hrs ago he was discussing the sheer number of injured players he has. It’s a bit of a risk, especially given PSG rotated for their game. Live blog: #AFC

On Martin Odegaard, where some underlying numbers (duels, dribbles) back up the recent criticism and the eye test. Other data says he’s still a vital player. But everything came together in 22/23 (15 PL goals), how does he get back to that? #AFC. Read:
