True, but I'm worried about injuries. Memories of Bolton vs Arsenal 2003 still haunt me.

Waiting for the right pass to release Aubameyang.

Hold the line Arsenal!

Kols is still on the books, huh?

5 minutes of extra time

Great performance. Great result.

Still 12 seconds left - C'mon Arsenal - Hang on !

Yes, we did it !!!!!!!

Played out exactly as I predicted it.

An excellent win in the end, even if we dropped off too much after scoring our second. Part of that is obviously that Leicester is a really good team, but it was noticeable how we stopped pressing with the same intensity as before, and our passing got sloppier. Need to maintain our level a bit longer.

Ramsdale motm by a large margin. World class performance from him.

The Vardy goal streak is broken

Brilliant result, brilliant 1st half.

Lost our way a bit in the 2nd half and only a brilliant defensive display from the back four and Ramsdale stopped them scoring.

Would have liked to see Arteta make a tactical change to bolster the midfield 2nd half but maybe he didn't have the right options.

Ramsdale with a worldclass performance and the free kick save was up there with the best you will see.

Gabriel immense as well.

Its a shame that Lacazette runs out of steam after an hour because his pressing and industry really helps the team.

We needed a bit of luck and what may turn out to be his best performance of the season from Ramsdale to keep a clean sheet but we did it.

Great result but not sure about the performance. We were second best for most of the game. They had more possession, more shots and more touches in the box. It will boost confidence though and 3 points is 3 points.

We have nothing off the bench, only energy subs. It’s a massive problem but what it means is that everytime the manager makes a change he will get stick.

That said. I thought the Ødegaard sub worked as well as can be. Got it down an passed it a bit.

That’s a huge win. A big marker for the doubters. Away to Leicester is a tough game, especially as they’ve looked back to their best for the past month. They stuck 4 past Man U.

So nice to win the early game and sit back and relax as the rest unfolds. Especially when one of those games is el sackio spurs v man u

Stunning result. Leicester were bound to come at us but in the end we coped impressively. Well played Ramsdale!

Individually White and Gabriel are good, sometimes great defenders. Good/Great defenders find a way to make a pairing work over time. We've finally got our solid central defense. Holding is a decent back up. Remains to be seen if we see Saliba in the shirt.

We've also had very good keepers over the last year or so, Leno, Ramsdale, Martinez.

So, is it confirmed? We have turned the corner and are now a decent side again? Or still remains to be seen?

No it’s neither one thing or the other.

We are a young side and will continue to do well in some games and struggle in others. Despite what people say we look a pretty well organised team and most of the 11 are fighting for results and pulling their weight.

We still have our issues, and in the first team could do with an adequate central midfielder of the right age and a winger to offer competition.

Our back ups aren’t sufficient and when we start getting injuries around Christmas you may see a few slip ups that incur the wrath of our intolerant fans but there is a process in play I would like to see out.

I was on the verge of giving up completely on Arteta after that woeful performance against Palace. And honestly, I don't blame fans for doubting Arteta - it's not a knee jerk reaction when we've been consistently lacklustre for almost two years. However, since then we have three excellent overall performances against good teams, and it's starting to look like it's not just a blip. I get the feeling there's been a sort of 'aha' moment for the squad, and they now know what they need to do to make things happen for themselves.

I agree bromley and Gunfire. Maddison a 70 million player? Not even close in my view. If that was Maddison looking Leicester’s most dangerous player I think we dodged a serious bullet not paying that for him.

Must admit, Maddison represents everything I dislike about ‘fancy Dan’ creative midfielders. Usually touches the ball one in a blue moon and is routinely on the fringes of most games. If Ødegaard was on our bench because he can’t be trusted, which I think was not only a bit harsh because he was brought on with over half an hour left and the only recent game I recall him not starting before today was Villa when Arteta said he (and White) were ill with a bug, I’m glad we paid 30m for him instead.

Also, if Maddison was Leicester’s most dangerous player, why did Rodgers take him off? Perhaps he also thought Ødegaard did more in his half an hour than Maddison was doing in his 70 minutes?

Laporte sent off for an identical tackle to the one Evans made.

I jinxed Palace after watching Liverpool, but still City played like they didn't have a man sent off.

VAR...YES!!

Absolutely infuriating. It really does feel like we never get these. Who was the last player to get sent off against Arsenal, especially a straight red for a bad tackle or violent conduct?

Our performance against Brighton was really poor, but have to say they're a really good time. It's rare to see a team come to Anfield and play like this.

We are better off with Ødegaard than Maddison, especially given the price difference. Maddison has had some good spells of form and is obviously a talented player but is not in my opinion a good fit for us. I have been impressed with Ødegaard overall and I think he's going to prove a very astute signing.

And Palace, who also gave us a hard time, are doing pretty well at City. 2-0, great stuff and I'm pleased for Vieira.

So Brighton draw at Anfield from 2-0 down and Palace beat City away 2-0. However annoyed we were at our performances against Brighton and Palace both were important not to lose to maintain confidence and momentum, and both results look better in the context of today’s results

Fair enough if you don’t feel Maddison is worth 70 million but if you feel anything other than being very underwhelmed with Ødegaard than you can’t have watched us much this season.

He’s a very promising player but apart from 1 free kick and a 30 minute spell againest spurs he’s been anonymous pretty much. Lauding his signing right now seems crazy.

I was just about to post the same thoughts. Clearly no mugs.

It was unfortunate that we got to play Brentford when we did.

Potter looks destined for a bigger job soon. Remarkable how he’s got Brighton playing the way they are and getting the results they are considering they were a direct and quite dull team when he took over and he’s done it with smart signings on a small budget and taken some unfancoed or unfashionable names and got them playing well in a system. That’s what very good managers do.

Early days but Vieira looking impressive too for quite similar reasons

It's unlikely to happen anytime soon, but I think Potter would take England's national team to a new level.

Thought Bissouma had another strong performance today. If I could pick one player who is somewhat realistic for us to sign, it would be him. It could raise our midfield another level, having him as an anchor could potentially free up Partey and Lokonga to show more of what they can do.

Brentford was the perfect storm for them. First day, we were ravaged by covid and hadn’t made all our signings, a night game, rabid home crowd, it was a cup game and they rose to the occasion. If we played them now we’d give a much better show of ourselves

Spurs United is going to be interesting. If ever there was a game you wanted both sides to lose, this is it.

Couldn’t agree more bromley. I just don’t see Maddison as a good fit for us. I’ve seen so many moans here about players who are perceived as passing sideways or backwards too much. That’s the very thing Maddison routinely does in my view. He almost achieves invisibility in some games.
