It is impressive just how bad we were to lose to Brentford 4-0.
It was a freak result, we weren't as bad as result would tell you, it was bunch of freak errors and panic mode with some fast goals.

Thought like last season Arsenal would drop points today given the form Brentford are in.

Made things look very simple so far.
Just shows Utd are still everyone’s cup final. The fans are not even up for it!

Brentford players and their fans don't look bothered at all

Tbf Arsenal had most of their team out with COVID.

Brentford just played them like us at the right time. Thankfully it meant ETH saw the light and dropped Maguire.

They stuck 5 past Leeds last time they played.

Thought Arsenal would struggle to get ball to front 3 today effectively with Odegaard and Zinchenko both out but no problem at all, it's all clicking under Arteta now.

Still think they’ll struggle against the other “top 6” sides but if they continue strolling to victories against the rest, they’ll do enough to push for top 4.

This has been a shitshow from Frank. It was obvious from the first 10 mins Brentford were struggling with the 352 they are playing.
Don't get me wrong, Arsenal have been good but Brentford have have failed to compete in the middle. They are outnumbered.

Arsenal are a good side now. I can't stand the cnuts mainly because many of their fans are insufferable if they do so much as play well in one game, but I can admit they are decent at the moment.

Arsenal should be getting something off Liverpool if they play them soon, can see them getting through Liverpool's backline endless times.

They also won at Chelsea back end of last season and they can certainly finish above this Chelsea with the trajectory of both sides currently.

Unlike us, Arsenal have abundance of pace upfront in them and they work hard like dogs too whilst defending. Compare it to the workrate of Ronaldo Sancho and Rashford, combine it with the clumsiness of Maguire and laziness of Shaw and there you have your 4-0 Brentford. I hate our players sometimes.

Hasselbaink is an idiot.. adds absolutely feck all to anything. Everytime he is on its as if he hasn't actually watched any of the game, then just spurts out generic things which can attach to any football match ever.

Yeah, we'll see if Potter is able to improve Chelsea. Guess we'll see how Arsenal go this season.

Be interesting to see how they do vs City too this season.

Their record against them is fecking appalling. Nobody has a great record really against City these days but Arsenal in particular are shocking against them every time.

Arsenal look very good for top 4 this season. 3rd best side in the league for me behind City and Liverpool.

They should've got something off them at Emirates last season, think it was 94th minute winner by Rodri in the end and that was huge for the league.

Playing Spurs straight after the break will be interesting as Spurs could easily counter them to death as you guys did with Son back in form.

Am I remembering it wrong or didn't Arsenal actually play City off the pitch last season and were really unlucky to lose?

He looked a bit lost in the system in the first half but that's a great way to get his first goal :eek:

And yet, we’ve beaten two of those three you’ve mentioned despite being at the beginning of a new era.
