I can’t see what Zinchenko has added to this performance at all. He gets the ball and is ponderous and Brighton counter press. Is he supposed to beat the press and get us on our way?

Brighton fans feel like they’re not getting the little 50/50’s, so the only noise from them is at the ref over every decision. Don’t like it when games go like that as I never trust a ref not to cave to the pressure

Will white secretly be loving that the Brighton fans are booing him? :42laughter:

Maybe a bit harsh but I'm of the opinion that Jesus is the reason we have no va va voom. It all changed when he came back?

Saka should be taken off.

Quality from Jorginho and nicely tucked away by Havertz :22encouragement:

Massive relief!

Very good from Jorginho and Havertz run was a classic CF run in to the gap for the first time finish.

Deserved and needed

Martinelli is a huge part of how this team has been playing. And on he comes! And here comes Trossard.

Brighton are screwed now!

Havertz has been quality. His understanding of space is excellent.

Glad that Enciso has gone off, he had the fire in him and looked dangerous.

Trossard and Martinelli on. Saka and Jesus off. Good changes

If our CB pair have one weakness is the long cross field diagonal.

I hope we don’t try to see out the last 25 minutes sat in our own third. They will commit more forward and over commit so we need to be brave and get our foot on the ball and ensure we maintain control of the game

Tomiyasu on for Zinchenko. Standard Arteta sub now. Another sensible one

Jesus is very hard working. Doesn't give up. Doesn't commit deliberate fouls to win the ball. Comes back regularly to help out the defence. Definitely adds energy to the team.

Nonsense yellow card. He’s only given that to Saliba because he’d issued the first of the game to a Brighton player a minute ago. Can see cards coming out like confetti for the final 15 mins

Love those free kicks Havertz wins, positions his body so well so the defender thinks he can get it but really can’t so it’s always a foul on Havertz

Havertz got him on his way. Well spotted by Havertz.

This has been such a consummate performance. So secure. We've really taken a step up this year.

Sensible substitutions to finish the game off. Don't expect any more goals though :42laughter:

Brighton have made us have to play well to win this, but we’ve been a cut above in the game. Just look at the number of chances we’ve had

Brighton have only lost once at home in the league and are 12 unbeaten. We’ve completely destroyed them today

The defense in that low block position a few minutes ago was impressive. Brighton saw no space for anything.

I love the passion and commitment to keeping the clean sheet. Every minute of every game we’re switched on and serious.

Whatever happens this season we are a team who is going to be around at the top for a long time

Kai Havertz is on the way to becoming my favourite player. :14laughter:

I love that accidental hero. He’s a very good player.

I think City goes there. So hopefully back to their stellar home defense. The first 10 minutes I thought it was going to be one of those days.

Surprised me how well we controlled the game. What I absolutely loved was Gabriel desperate for a clean sheet. Its obvious him and Saliba take a lot of pride in the defensive record. A given Rayas is. GK's see clean sheet like strikers see goals.

Magnificent. A candidate for player of the year. His attitude is always top class and money can't buy a defender who loves defending and celebrates a block like he did.

3.38xG for us today. Only 0.57 against. Only 2 shots on goal. Since the turn of the year I’d bet that we’re averaging not far off just 1 shot on target against per game. If you’re only conceding 1 shot on goal per game you just are not going to lose matches

I think irrespective of what happens for the rest of the season we’ve got a good argument to have Raya, White, Saliba and Gabriel in the Premier league team of the season.
Van Dijk is the only other I can think of but that would be harsh on one of Gabriel or Saliba.
