Really frustrating that Martinelli hasn't improved his vision and assisting abilities. He always unfailingly puts his face down and looks to attack and shoot never looking to pass as an option. He missed Rice who basically had a tap in on a play from the right side. Same scenario on another play from the left side as well.
Last season when he scored 15 and simply looked unstoppable, we were all praising his performance.
Cut the kid some slack. Unlike the right side where saka and white has it locked down, Martinelli hasn’t had a partner behind him that can consistently string together good performances. It’s no surprise he looks isolated on the left and expected to dribble 2-3 players.
Yeah he’s unfortunately regressed this season. The one shot he had open on goal and hit at the keeper he easily buries last year. Hope he can turn it around.
that’s your takeaway from today? he’s clearly in bad form and desperate for a goal, i’m actually glad that for once an arsenal player isn’t trigger-shy, way too much overthinking in the box in the past few games. today was a beautiful day, just enjoy it man
I mean Kai just scored a brace and won the most defensive duels among both sets of forwards allover the pitch. We will buy one next season, but this match is not the best case study for why we need one.
Havertz does the job if there's need to, but it's not his best position therefore you can't always rely on him. First half of the last season Jesus did it almost as good, but after the injury he's back at his factory settings. It might happen to Kai to.
Take it easy, man. Martinelli is a great player. He could pop up with a couple goals any day and you’ll feel stupid. Look at Trossard: one week, hero, next week loser, depending on the opponent. Repeat the pattern.
His own injuries paired with the left side + strikers changing around alot hasn't helped. I think he's being slightly misused but still needs to master the simple things.
Don’t know what happened this season. He’s had some injuries and also the inconsistency at left back position hasn’t helped tbf but he looks miles off it compared to last season.
Seems like Xhaka enabled him, im curious if he will work with Rice in setup like today with Rice as the left 8, he definitely looked pretty good at setting Trossard and even set one for Martinelli but nelli didn't commit. If he was in form i think we would have OT or pens with you, he had 2 chances in our second game against you.
Yeah Last season’s Martinelli would’ve done much better vs Kimmich and maybe gotten a goal. His finishing has definitely dropped off but at least you know he has it in him
The fact they could have gone above United tonight...
For one night only I forgot how shit we are and McCoist drops that little bomb at full time.
Nights ruined
Maybe, but he's shrugged off bigger injuries already. He looked so down tonight, it's really sad to see. Hope he can shake it off, I'd love a goal from him before the end of the season
Was brave of Poch to say this game would show that we're not just Cole Palmer FC when it was patently obviously to everyone other than him that we are just Cole Palmer FC
The difference is so clear, there’s a gulf in even basic things like positioning, short passing, defensive structure etc. This is inexcusable from Poch
The bright side for Chelsea after this is that it could have been 6 or 7 or even 8 and this won’t go down along the worst thrashings like it could have been.
As in, would there have been goals from the Chelsea side or would they have leaked 5 goals. Like I said didn’t watch the game so I have no idea how the goals came about
When your mom asks you about the dishes and you say chelsea so that they know its washed.
Who was the blonde kid with the neck tattoos. He was terrible.
The fact petrovich was likely their best player after losing 5-0 says so much
As a Spurs fan, Sunday has a bit of looming disaster written on it.
As an Arsenal fan, I am always nervous about that derby regardless of form. It can go both ways
Cole palmer fc it is.
Never seen a stronger Arsenal team all season, as a neutral, Chelsea got absolutely dicked on tonight.
Used to pray for times like this
Only our grandfathers feasted this good against Chelsea
rock bottom. fuck clearlake

"He always unfailingly puts his face down and looks to attack" You can immediately tell who's played actual football when they say dumb shit like this

5-0 mate relax
As an honest spurs fan I think we are cooked 💀
Yeah we aren’t underestimating that task. You won’t fold like Chelsea and you’ll be in our face all game.
The only hope I have is we dominated at the emirates earlier in the season but we’ve fell off big time
There’s been more than a bit of shithouse luck there. That game against Chelsea might have been the biggest disaster over 90 minutes I’ve ever seen.
Yeah no udogi either
i’m an arsenal fan, NLDs are rarely that straightforward. fully expecting spurs to turn up and play at the highest level you have
Nice to hear, let’s hope it’s a good one
Ben Davies against saka. Don’t wanna jink myself but when everyone says we are going to play shit and we are the underdogs we sometimes turn up 😳
Saka is nackered atm, not as big of an issue for spurs as it would’ve been 3 months ago
6-0 you’ll never sing that
Wow Chelsea
I don't get why Arsenal always refuses to buy a classic 9
It's a complete mystery.
I mean Kai just scored a brace and won the most defensive duels among both sets of forwards allover the pitch. We will buy one next season, but this match is not the best case study for why we need one.

u/sooolong05
Understandable, have a nice day.
r/whoosh
Guess I was the donkey all along...
This clubs a joke and rotten from Top Down, can anyone defend Poch??
Poch finally out?
Who is gonna take the job and do it better tho?
Ten Hag for Chelsea, Poch to Man U.
If this happens it's solid proof that the world did end in 2012
A special person we all know about 👀
He's done. These days he just rants about what he used to be able to do like a granddad with dementia
Not his type of players
Martinelli was on a mission to prevent us from scoring another goal, what a terrible perfomence from a sub.
Take it easy, man. Martinelli is a great player. He could pop up with a couple goals any day and you’ll feel stupid. Look at Trossard: one week, hero, next week loser, depending on the opponent. Repeat the pattern.
Last season it looked like he was going to make that jump to the next level
His own injuries paired with the left side + strikers changing around alot hasn't helped. I think he's being slightly misused but still needs to master the simple things.
Don’t know what happened this season. He’s had some injuries and also the inconsistency at left back position hasn’t helped tbf but he looks miles off it compared to last season.

Yeah Last season’s Martinelli would’ve done much better vs Kimmich and maybe gotten a goal. His finishing has definitely dropped off but at least you know he has it in him
Probably Chelsea’s best player smh
Jesus was poor as well. Those two need to do better vs Spurs and man Utd.
Jesus needs to be moved on imo. He makes the team visibly worse when he comes on
Ngl I laughed out loud when my mans slipped outta nowhere
if I was a player for my favourite team, I’d be giving away my jersey to a fan after every game
With the exception of my first start or a CL final, I would too
Or a I game in which I've done a Hattrick
pa music guy trolling. love it
embarrassing. I think this one word sums it up pretty well
Always nice to see a plastic club getting absolutely battered
THEYRE PLAYING WAKA WAKA ON THE SPEAKERS. No wayy... the shithousery is fogging excellent
They always do that at home after the game now if kai scorwd
WELL Off to giggle at the chelsea reactions on reddit Cheers lads, great match thread. Laughed loads.
Poch needs to go, Chelsea still have big talent in that squad, enough is enough
Come on that’s nothing to do with tactics, they just don’t give a shit
Problem is the clown in charge made it absolutely impossible to offload them, Chelsea are fucked for the next 4 years atleast
Are we playing Waka Waka in the stadium?
Of course, if there's a way to make people hate us more, you know we'll heads first that shit.
That was so pedestrian it’s laughable
Gets that little extra help to not go down to 10 men in the first 10' Still gets battered
Did arsenal even play good smh
We could have scored 8+ on another day based on the chances we created.
First Half we were meh Second half was sublime. Helped by Chelsea absolutely folding
I honestly thought this was going to be a much harder match due to fatigue. Now we have a few days for recovery.
The second part of the first half, we were meh. Thats all
Fair
clearly poch has to go right? i understand giving people a chance to settle in but cmon now. this is beyond comical
There isn't a manager in the damn world that's gonna get a tune from this bunch of misfits
Lol. Fuck you Chelsea.
6-0
A result from a decade ago isn't great banter material...
5-0
6-0
5-0
Finished team, couldn't even pay back the 6 nil from ten years ago
Cole get better son but take your time
Close game. Arsenal got away with that one, just wait till next season.
Kinda annoyed that we didn’t match their 6-0 win against us 10 years ago but COYG!!!!!
The DJ is just trolling Chelsea now
And to think some were arguing martinelli is better than Vinicius 🗿🗿
Never been near to
Bye bye you mercenary fucks. See ya next season.
Delicious.
Playing Waka Waka in the stadium too... brutal
kai denied his hat trick in exchange for saka getting rest, fair play mikel
Lol playing the song on the PA
Should’ve been 8:0
Thanks for getting Poch sacked I guess (I beg)
Martinelli finishing just blindly shooting the ball
Arteta should’ve thrown on Elneny to send a message
Cedric on is the ultimate message to send
Well, if it gets Poch fired I'll say it was a good game.
Waka waka
Cucurella chipping it in to no one lmao
The fact they could have gone above United tonight... For one night only I forgot how shit we are and McCoist drops that little bomb at full time. Nights ruined
lmao
Midtinelli
Martinelli? What u doing?
That sweet goal difference
Gotta stat pad against minnows when you can
Lol where are the chelsea players...not even running into thw box
Jackson is still on lol
Thank god
Close game that
Clenched the whole game. You never know.
Palmer comes on in the 98th to score 6 in a minute
Martinelli clearly shite. We will give you 20 million to take him as a backup.
He has had a rough season but he is only 22.
I think hes class. Taking the piss.
That Cucurella cross to no one. Just absolutely pathetic. Can't wait to find out how we lose to them next week.
lol
Never been as sure of anything in my life.
Poch is out right?
No. Its unlikely even after this.
sigh :/
Cucurella played a cross to no one lol
martinelli is ruining this
What is going on with Martinelli? Even a few months ago, I'd have bet on him scoring that
He got a minor injury a while back and he hasn’t been right since. Not sure if it’s related or if he just lost confidence/form.
Maybe, but he's shrugged off bigger injuries already. He looked so down tonight, it's really sad to see. Hope he can shake it off, I'd love a goal from him before the end of the season
He's too predicable I think, he only shots at the second post
Martinellis downfall has to be studied
He's just out of form. He's had a stop start season. Young players being inconsistent shocker.
Too early to say it's a downfall
Just a slump he'll be fine.
Chelsea keeper MOTM for me
Their best player and let in 5, one of those days for them
Damn....Thats all Ive got to say.
Martinelli holy fuck
Odegaard still pressing at 95 mins. Probably our best captain since Tony Adams?
I want to laugh at Martinelli for not burying that but I can’t even in good conscience do that when I’ve got Jackson and madueke in my team
Unironically Arsenal could have 10.
Martinelli poor finishing as usual
Martinelli plz bb we need you to find some form wtf was that
Straight down the middle. Cmon man
At least he brought a balloon to play with.
Martinelli ruined our night preventing the sweet 6 0
the one Chelsea fan holding up the CL trophy is pretty funny tbh, gotta give it to him
There's a person clapping at a failed pass. Where are the standards?
Boo. It should have been 6
Straight at the keeper
Trent: we need to try and up our goal difference so we at least have a chance- Arsenal: ummwhatyasaaaaay 🎵
Damn Martinelli....
Man Martinelli badly needs to get his goal
God I miss Martinelli from last year
One lone naked guy with a plastic CL trophy. Sums up Chelsea as a football club 😂😁😂
Lmao that dude with the UCL trophy ahahahahaha
Was brave of Poch to say this game would show that we're not just Cole Palmer FC when it was patently obviously to everyone other than him that we are just Cole Palmer FC
Martinelli has been bad in the final 30
That clown holding the CL trophy after being smacked for 5 lol…
Straight at the keeper...
THIS STAT: >Arsenal had not scored 5 goals at home against Chelsea in an official competition since April 16, 1979
All the Chelsea fans cleared out lmao.
Just like against Villa two weeks ago lolll
The difference is so clear, there’s a gulf in even basic things like positioning, short passing, defensive structure etc. This is inexcusable from Poch
Is anyone really that surprised that a not particularly good manager… is not particularly good?
Extend him for life. I want this to happen every single time
The bright side for Chelsea after this is that it could have been 6 or 7 or even 8 and this won’t go down along the worst thrashings like it could have been.
I wanna see Jackson score a consolation goal and celebrate it like a UCL winner
So this is how the Emptyhad sounds every week?
Rent free lol
Goth Hojlund is useless
Haven’t watched majority of the game (only first half) would Palmer had made a difference or would Chelsea defense let them down regardless?
He might have scored two but Chelsea conceded 5 soooo….
How would Palmer stop Chelsea conceding five goals...
As in, would there have been goals from the Chelsea side or would they have leaked 5 goals. Like I said didn’t watch the game so I have no idea how the goals came about
Chelsea is utter shit. Cole couldn’t fix this alone
huge respects for the chelsea away fans who stayed behind given it's a school night (or maybe they're waiting to boo their team, which, respect also)
Imagine Cole Palmer was on today tho. Could've been 5-2 or even 5-3
He's got that Harry Kane guaranteed penalty effect so I'd go 5-1, as he's great at finishing them too.
Chins up Chelsea fans. You’re not the first mid table club to get done by Arsenal like this
Weird how slow Martinelli was, that was the most 6-0 chance ever
Jackson is really good Shame about the finishing part I think he is the new Welbeck. Both good and bad Decent player
I think he'd actually be great playing with another striker alongside him
Just like Welbeck was with Rooney at times and then at Brighton with Trossard See, he's Welbeck
he's only 22 I have faith he can work on his finishing.
What's funny that's exactly what UTD and us said about Welbeck 😂
