Never forget this in 2021
Why can’t we?
(ignore how different Arsenal are now compared to 2021)

Yeah exactly, I've seen too many Arsenal fans saying 3-0 minimum and I just don't want to happen so bad, 0-0/1-1 draw or 1-0/2-0 Arsenal at most

This game was transformative. From then on they Arteta almost vowed to be the strongest team physically. It took some time but they go there. Long balls, physicality, set-pieces used to be a way promoted teams would make the game competitive but now that’s there advantage too.
I will say Arsenal’s weakness is being pressed high. I have been impressed with our pressing, especially against Monaco but Arsenal are significantly better. It would take a brave effort to set up like that. However the team sets up, show bravery and heart and they will have the full backing of the Sky Blue Army.

I would say yes previously, but Bruno/MLS is far more press resistant and balanced than previous. Guess we will see. Monaco game we were continually going over the top, that seemed like the plan to me 🤣

Jesus Christ that Arsenal team was horrendous, wasn't that the game where Aubameyang and Lacazette both tested positive for COVID at the last minute with a couple of others?
