Feel a bit sorry for Lacazette, the winner has been given as an own goal

Its a pity Lacazette wasn't credited the goal. A mishit effort going in to win a game in the last minute would do wonders for his form, I think.

Actually we are toughing out some great results this year.

If we had lost those two tight games with Wolves we’d have been 7 points behind them and with them on a mega roll. Even the Burnley result gains perspective as things have developed since.

Super mentality.

Pretty handy bench too.

Your point about Wolves is interesting. So nearly a great season for them.

They are bang in form they have won 5 of their last 7, the two they lost were to us.

I can easily see Ødegaard as the next captain of Arsenal, I didn’t realise he’s been the national team captain for the past year……maybe he could have a word with Haaland

What’s everyone’s thoughts on Tierney right now? Perhaps he’s just out of form but there are a few things holding him and us back right now. Can’t fault his commitment and effort but his lack of trust of his right foot can put us under pressure and stunt attacks, his 1v1 defending looks more suspect these days. There was a couple of times when semedo and Podence skinned him or he gave far too much space to them. His better games for us seem to be when there is more space for him, at least half of his attacking ability is blunted somewhat by us not having a decent target in the box for his crosses.

It may seem odd to say about someone who is in line to be our next captain but if we want to push on and be title challengers I’m not so sure Tierney is the left back Arteta will want to do that with. I fully expect him to be here next year as he’s far from an area of the team we desperately need to improve, perhaps a more mobile left midfielder to replace Xhaka and a target man in the box will help

As much as the two subs were brilliant in changing the game I thought Ødegaard was once again the driving force behind our attacking. And it was more noticeable in the second half that White and Gabriel were winning far more of the longer balls Wolves cleared which is huge for the momentum of attack after attack, making Wolves feel like they can’t get out at all.

Yet again a team attacking right to the final whistle gets its rewards. Critics can say all they want about Wolves' could haves and should haves, luck and all that tosh - the game is, and always will be, about who scores more. And it was us tonight. Enjoying the team spirit too.

He'd be my first choice. I love Tierney and the commitment he shows, but Ødegaard is emerging as a central figure for us. So much of our offence goes through him, he works tirelessly and he looks like a real leader on the pitch, always urging the team on.

I couldn’t agree more about Ødegaard. I think he has turned himself into a giant in our team. One of the first names on the team sheet. If not the first, however good Saka is. Because I think practically everything good about us going forward seems to go through Ødegaard, arguably to an even bigger extent than with Saka. Let me say that is not a criticism of Saka in any way, shape or form. I just feel Ødegaard is near to being at an even higher level. We’re lucky to have both and Saka extending his contract is a huge priority.

What excitement there was at the end of the game. The atmosphere shared between the crowd, players and even the bench was astonishing and a reason why, apologies to the many here and elsewhere who do, watching games on telly just isn’t the same. The same thrill simply isn’t replicated at home or a pub. Even an Arsenal pub.

He does not get back quick enough when we turn over possession. The problem is that the majority of Tierneys balls into the box are high crosses which may have been okay at Celtic but are eaten up in the EPL. He needs to get in the box on the line and get the ball back to an onrushing forwards or midfielders on the ground.

When Taverz played, Arteta would have noticed his versatility in being able to go both inside and outside and his retreat to fb is super fast. The problem is he is inexperienced and makes more mistakes.

It would not surprise me if Arteta looked for a better LB or keeps trying to change Tierney's game which does not seem to be happening. Captain material - not for me. His commitment is not in doubt but he is not a good fit with Martenelli. Martnelli often gets the ball wide and is looking for an inside runner to slip it to and Tierney is back behind him a long way and so the ball just goes back or he is actually forward of Martenelli on the wing but has a player between them making a pass impossible. If Martenelli loses the ball Tierney is out of position. It is worth looking at the right hand side for how the system can work better.

VAR is implemented in a completely stupid way. Rangers had a perfectly good goal disallowed last night.

For me there are far bigger priorities than a new left back. However, when Tierney joined I was hoping he’d end up joining Sansom and Cole as a group of three. I’m now more hopeful of him joining the likes of Clichy and Monreal in a group of three. Good, if not bloody good, but not at the top level.

I heard someone behind me yesterday liken Tierney to Gibbs. I thought that was unfair, and still do. He’s comfortably better than Gibbs ever was, not that Gibbs was that bad. He was decent.

The referee was called to the monitor and based on what he saw (very inconclusive) he reversed his decision. But crucially VAR does not show the referee all the footage available. The TV viewers were able to see quite clearly that there was no foul at all.

The turn from Partey at 1:05 in this video was quite brilliant.

He like the rest of the team really stepped up second half, he's quietly playing very well at the moment - if only he'd either stop shooting from long range or learn to not balloon them over the bar!

Now they have more angles than a porn movie.

They need more cameras at different angles.

I think he’s a good player and we miss him when he’s not in the side but there seems to be a stigma amongst our fans that if he doesn’t provide a match winning cross every game then he didn’t play well. For me he’s still the best left back we’ve had since Cole. Not much comes down his side.

He is a good player and I rate him higher than Tavares so I agree we do miss him a bit. Personal opinion but I’m not sure I rate him higher than Monreal or Clichy. If I do it’s very, very marginal. That’s the group of three I put him in, not Sansom and Cole.
