This is what people keep missing. A striker making dangerous runs and pinning centre-backs creates space for others. Against Forest, Saka was triple-marked because our no. 9 was busy clogging midfield rather than threatening the box. Gyokeres influences games without needing GAs. Havertz has a role, but I see no sporting justification for starting him ahead of Gyokeres. I'd even argue Merino offers more as a striker, at least he's a better finisher.

Arsenal score a massive goal and these lot are conducting a forensic investigation into the quality of the assist. Not even a goal can be celebrated without finding a way to put an Arsenal player down. Think it's time for a mass-blocking exercise 🚫😂
