Considering our first choice LCB, RCM and ST were out, this was a fantastic performance. Just hoping for no more injuries and we can really cook
Fun fact: Tomiyasu has now scored in 4 different leagues - Japan, Belgium, Italy, England.
TQVM Sheffield for the + 5 goals difference padding
They are definitely going down if they continue playing like this, was a stroll in the park really, so much so that the Emirates was emptying before full time
Are Sheffield the worst prem team ever?
Eddie stunting on these hoes, you love to see it
I know the “will it be worse than Derby’s point total” is overused, but… man
I’m going to say what we’re all thinking.
Eddie Nketiah is the best English striker with a five letter first name with double letters in the middle.
Eddie hattrick. Tomi’s first goal. Vieira being Vieira. Smith Rowe AND Elneny assists. Kiwior being a rock at the back. Millimetres off the perfect game!
Only a Havertz goal away from true perfection :(
To be fair to Havertz, he was out there battling today. More spirited performance from him than any I’ve seen so far. Hopefully a sign of things to come!
Good to finally see he can put in a solid shift against a spirited team. If he keeps this up he might even contribute a goal or an assist this season!
Elneny: 100% pass completion, 1 assist. The king is back!
Your defence is in trouble, Nketiah in the room on the official speaker 🤣🤣
SIR EDWARD NKETIAH XIV
Good win but Arteta constantly treading outside the technical area ruined all the fun for me, what a despicable, miserable character
r/Gunners has pre-made apology forms if you want to fill one out. Jk. Gunners hate on Nketiah more than r/soccer
Genuinely not seen a Sheffield United team as bad as this since the League One days.
Great time to be a Derby fan.
Sheffield United are straight up terrible, they weren’t good to begin with but the defensive injuries have crippled them.
