Passion and perspective. Arsenal isn’t just football, it’s a way of thinking.

Loved how Gyökeres went straight to Eze after his goal. It felt like a clear message to the team that he is desperate for passes and comes alive when he finally gets one.

Maurizio Micheli to Arsenal makes a lot of sense. Serious scouting pedigree coming in.

Exc: Arsenal in advanced talks over appointing Napoli head of scouting Maurizio Micheli into a leading recruitment role. Micheli credited with unearthing likes of Marek Hamsik, Kim Min-Jae and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

Tuchel trying to stir things up by talking about Myles Lewis Skelly’s game time is ridiculous. Arsenal have Calafiori and Hincapié ahead of him for now, but the kid is too good to loan out. His time will come, no need to pile pressure on a 19 year old.

Eze’s flair feels a little trapped in Arteta’s structure right now. At Crystal Palace he played on instinct, here every move feels rehearsed. Once Arsenal give him a bit more freedom, the real Eze will come alive.

Eze averaged 2.5 key passes per 90 at Palace, now he has just two open play chances in seven games for Arsenal. Same quality, different system. Possession football is limiting the very instincts that made him special.

Arsenal’s next big move should be a left winger who can challenge Martinelli and Trossard. Semenyo feels like a real fit.

This team still lacks a top tier creator behind Ødegaard. Neither Eze nor Nwaneri has shown they can rotate with him. Arsenal must find someone who can.

Arteta doesn’t look out of place next to legends anymore, he belongs there.

Arsenal look the most complete side this season. City’s form has improved, but Arsenal control games better and look built for the long run.

We’re 4 points clear, have the best defense in the Premier League and Champions League, and fans still act like the sky is falling.

This version of City isn’t the same monster they were with Kevin De Bruyne. Everyone knows it.

City look good, but one Haaland injury and those wins turn to draws. It happened before, it can happen again.

This Arsenal team has battled in three straight title races. They’ve seen it all. They’re no longer the up-and-comers, they’re contenders. As long as injuries stay away, this team will be there till the end.

Arsenal just need to cut out defensive lapses, win the next few, and stay composed. The talent and control are there. Keep calm, finish strong.

City are “coded to win,” they say, but Arsenal are rewriting that code. Third straight title fight and still pushing through everything. The shift is happening right in front of us.

Arsenal don’t need perfection to win the league, just consistency. City have had slip ups, Liverpool too. The difference will be who keeps calm when others lose it.
