man, arsenal is on fire right now ! martinelli is like a different player out there, his speed and skill are unstoppable . i'm loving the optimism around arteta's team, with gabriel jesus coming back from injury and kai havertz set to return, their squad depth is looking insane . but at the same time, it's hard not to worry about the injuries they've had this season . and let's be real, a quadruple is still a tough ask, we'll believe it when we see it .
I mean, 3-1 is a big win for them, I guess... Portsmouth just got outpaced by a team that's way better than them? Like, I get it, bad weather can be harsh on teams, but come on! Arsenal's set-piece game has been getting some serious attention lately. Not to mention Martinelli's hat-trick was pure magic... when the referee didn't flag offside or anything . Seriously though, if they keep performing like this, a quadruple win isn't entirely out of the question... fingers crossed for them, I suppose
Ugh, I'm still trying to figure out how a 3-1 win over Portsmouth became a "hard-fought" victory ... shouldn't that be just a straightforward win? Anyway, I'm glad Martinelli scored his first senior hat-trick - the kid's got skills! And I love how Arteta praised him for staying calm under pressure . The fact that Portsmouth looked nervous and couldn't cope with Arsenal's pace is pretty much all you need to know about this match . Now, can we please just get back to watching football instead of overanalyzing every little thing?
