First half Arsenal, excellent. Second half Arsenal, nervy! Declan Rice was a general at right back. Martin Ødegaard had his best game in a while. But the real hero of the match was, David Raya who saved the day with an incredible tip over the bar to deny, Brighton.

Points vs performance keeps coming up as we scrape through second half displays. Mikel Arteta's Arsenal side is far more blue collar than champagne. Some fans want to drink the champagne. Do you care how we win, as long as we win? Have your say in our football democracy.

Winning ugly is becoming a habit for the Arsenal. Do you care if it means winning the title? Sophie says it's a season about points vs performance.

This was ugly from the Arsenal. It was a pathetic performance from wannabe champions. What went wrong? Did the players let Mikel down? Are Mikel's tactics the issue? Where does the nucleus of the problem lie? And what do you make of the negative narrative building around Viktor Gyökeres? Is it fair or foul? Dive in and have your say in our football democracy!

A brutal last minute winner for Aston Villa ended a great run of results for the Arsenal in the league. As you can imagine, the post game reaction has been vitriolic in certain spaces, but is the sky really falling? Did the Mikel get his line-up wrong? Or did the team let the gaffer down? The image of the players down and out on the pitch at the end of the match is tough to see, but Mikel is very good at selling pain and providing a solution. Have your say in our football democracy.
