Well done Max - that painted over some boring cracks and a terrible game. Painful.
However - we win and City drew.
That’s a big step towards the title and boy did I love Max’s goal, energy and celebration.
How many of the other 9 would have done that or run to the corner flag or kept possession.
Probably 8 - Rice the exception.
Score a goal like that and then off to school on Monday - wow.
Let’s not start him - bring him on when players are tired and teams stretched.
On a separate note - stonewall penalty.
Enjoy your weekend.

I’m saying this now that Max Dowman goal will go down in history as Arsenal's greatest goal ever!

I’m in bed high af and watching fan reactions on YouTube. The emotions from our fans brought a tear to my eye because it was exactly how I was celebrating! And the fans' reactions to Dowman scoring, wow! I now believe this win will make the players lift themselves closer to the title COYG 🫡.

Just watched MOTD and the highlight of Max's goal - smiling so so much watching him score & celebrate. An absolute delight.

Dowman! My boy!
We were pathetic until he came on, can’t put pressure on him but he could be the spark we need for the last few games. As for the rest of the team, somebody should tell them that we need to score goals to win matches.

Very true - Arteta must see it & address.
Vic, Kai & Jesus ain't the answer - let's get a Henry or a Wright, please. Let's see some goals and someone who can score a goal out of nothing & run past a player.

No players like Henry about in this era. Modern football lacks elite strikers like back in the day.
Game has changed.
Falco, Crespo, Andry Shevchenko, Ruud van Nistelrooy, David Villa, Didier Drogba, Fernando Torres, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Samuel Eto, Wayne Rooney, Ronaldo Nazario, Thierry Henry, sure I have missed a few, all from the same era.
Who do we have now that could stand up to that list? Haaland and maybe Mbappe.

Think that ship has now sailed, mate, and unfortunately there is a lack of top strikers now, so options are slim. It was quite depressing making that list; we were spoilt for strikers. The game is more about build up and possession, the Rice and Rodri are now more important. Hopefully it will come full circle soon and get back to entertainment. Stats have killed the game a bit, everything is so calculated now, and VAR does not help, especially in the Prem. The low block is killing the fun. Moments like today are few and far between now, unfortunately.

Let’s put a performance in to make us proud and a result that puts pressure on City.
COYG - Interesting line up…don’t really like Noni on left wing so who gets their preferred spot on right - Saka or Noni.
Could we see some switching around which would be good to see…goal king Kai leading the attack. 🤔
Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori, Zubimendi, Rice, Eze, Saka, Madueke, Kai
See you on live 👍.

Regardless of the line up, the approach is sideways and backwards. Can we also hire an attacking coach please!

Attacking coach = Bergkamp. (All day long) .

14 Mar 2026 19:56:24
Or just bring Dowman on to show the olds how to play.

Hi Sy, hope alls good, fella. Dowman, what a talent. Showed everyone how it's done. Still think we should bring in Bergkamp and/or Wrighty as attacking coach/coaches. 😉

Think we need someone with some attacking flare. Plan B can't be a long throw.
It would be great to see someone strong and forceful & clever, as Arteta is stubborn: you need to be able to sell your idea & have an idea. Love those two, but Wright is too passionate & not strategic. DB is a god, but not sure he's forceful enough.
It would be great for DB to be attacking coach on the training ground. Great addition to the back room staff.
I'd love Keown as number two, as he'd be strong enough to stand up to the players & manager. Sure he would make a difference.
Dowman was awesome, and reflects zero of what Arteta and team stand for.
He was 100% attack. Take a risk, pass forward, don't take the lazy easy pass. I'd love to see a stat on how many useless passes our players made ( backwards / sideways ) , how we go from a corner to passing back to Raya.
Compared to Max.
The difference in mindset was frightening.
I'm great, mate - you?
That game was terrible. Everton played way better football until Max came on. Why the boss plays Noni LW is ridiculous & our zero attack play is embarrassing - we are in the entertainment game.
However - huge win & huge result.

If you are talented you will play with anyone, not this. He plays better with so and so, they are all together in training.
Entitled Sal to you opinion but not having it. Sorry.
Maybe he needs a reality check and put him on the bench.

I second that. He's been dreadful lately, and his goals and assists are nowhere near world class. We seemed more dangerous when Noni came on. As for him in a number 10, no thanks.

Saka may just need some rest, he hasn't been in top form last few games. He definitely needs to be more impactful now that he is the top earner.
I would give Dowman the number 10 role. He was great against Mansfield. He can be replaced by Eze (or Ode when available) in the later part of the games.

I don't think he has been the same since coming back from injury, Bill.

I think that's a valid point, Sally, but he really needs to be aware of Gyokeres making runs, and he needs to get into the box more.

Don't worry about Saka - he's quality. Funny how no one backed me pointing out how poor Ode was. But now Arteta has killed our attack; he has forwards defending and playing more naturally with our backs to goal, so that Saka is seen as an issue. It's our boss & his style of play. Look at Eze, look at the strikers (non-strikers) he buys. Look at the lack of fire we like in our captain. There is a lack of creativity because of Arteta. I'm not sure Saka is world class, but he is head and shoulders above Jesus, Vic, Kai, Martinelli, and Trossard. If they were all up for sale, which player would Real or City bid for if there was room in their team? Saka& Rice would be one & two.
Blame the boss, not one of our best players.
Blame the people that call him world class, which is a term only a few players in each position can hold. It's like the word celebrity or star. If a reality TV person is a celebrity, what the hell does that make Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt.
Sorry for the rant, but there are plenty other players & manager & people in the dugout to blame first, who celebrate winning a corner rather than getting a bit of play for a goal. We struggle scoring, so what do we do? Long throws & wrestling.

SY4, the style of play is (potentially) gonna win us our first title in 20 years!! Saka, and only Saka, is to blame for poor form. It has nothing to do with Arteta or the coaches. Jesus Christ, we are gonna win our first title for 20 years and Arteta is still getting stick, pmsl.
If, and it's a big if, Arteta wins our only CL trophy, he will go down as one of our greatest managers, and people will still have a go l, can't please some people, hahahah.
