Brighton outfoxed and outplayed Arsenal today in all areas of the pitch. Arsenal barely had two shots in the first half. A high press and man-to-man marking tactics undid everything Arsenal brought to the pitch today. Backward passes were more than forward passes for Arsenal; they couldn't play through Brighton's press. The midfield pairing of Declan Rice and Bruno Guimaraes, which everyone thought would be the best midfield pairing in the league, exposed Arsenal. Brighton was winning every second ball, and they looked compact in defence. Even at 3-0, they were still going for more. Brighton have now scored 16 goals in 4 matches and have only conceded 5. Unbeaten after winning 3 games and drawing 1.

When the time is right, we will talk about Bukayo Saka and his poor output in the last 3 years. He is the highest paid, yet he constantly drops a stinker almost in every match. Arsenal's forwards: Tzolis, Eze, Kai Havertz, Saka and Madueke are all average, none can start in any big team in Europe.

Either Bruno Guimarães or Declan Rice need to vacate that midfield. The pairing hasn't worked so far. Arsenal needs Mini Madueke in this game. #BRIARS

We've been clamouring for the midfield pairing of Declan Rice and Bruno Guimarães; we got it, and perhaps it makes Arsenal's defence porous. When was the last time a team dominated Arsenal like this? Restricting them to only one shot attempt. #BHAARS

Arsenal have the best defence in the world.

Chelsea's expected goals against keeps rising, -3 today. That's a total of 11 goals in just over 4 matches.

Individual brilliance that doesn't translate to team progress is useless. The metrics or data used to award him Player of the Season and PFA undermine players whose effort helped their team win a trophy. His hat-trick hasn't taken Manchester United out of 13th position.
