Winning against Chelsea has obviously increased Arsenal's self-confidence and it's also helping the club to regain its mentality to compete till last match of the season. That being said, Arsenal's mentality has improved significantly since the club destroyed Chelsea with very big score and it was also putting pochettino in very difficult situation. It also indicated whether Arsenal is still ready for the title race at the end of the season consider that there are only fewer matches remaining and winning any game is a must in order to have big chance in winning the competition. Even though there is no chance that the city will be able to get three points from the remaining matches.

I believe this will be Arsenal's last chance to lead the competition since we are only having a few matches remaining. Arsenal players may always be seeing city playing the game soon caused by thisis the biggest obstacles for arsenal. It must also be cautious with Liverpool because the Reds are still consistently winning games and have the potential to reclaim first place. Manchester City still has a lot of unplayed matches.

It must be cautious when facing any club because winning the game is essential for Manchester City and yeah pep must always use the best squad in order to gather three points easily from any remaining matches for city.

Arsenal will still face Tottenham and Manchester City which could make it difficult for them to win because if Manchester City finishes all the remaining matches with a win it is certain that they will win the EPL title this season, Arsenal will certainly have no hope anymore if they get a draw or lose. in the last few matches like before, I think Arsenal have a lot to learn because they still need time to become a great team that can win the title in the EPL or UCL next season, there is still time for Arteta to learn from every failure he experienced with his team if in the end they failed again this season.

Guardiola certainly won't let Arteta get the EPL title this season, of course, since the failure in the UCL will mean that Guardiola will continue to put pressure on his team to play as hard as possible, ensuring that they continue to win the remaining games at the end of this season, wiping everything out until they win the EPL title this season. and maintain their position at the top of the standings while declaring champions in the EPL again this season, Manchester City will of course take it easy. Apart from Arsenal's victory against Chelsea, it won't help at all if Manchester City completes all the remaining matches and continues to win until the end of the season. 

Arsenal really showed their best game against Chelsea when they were able to destroy Chelsea's defense which could make them go far ahead with a quite satisfactory score. I think Arsenal might win the Premier League now. Yesterday I thought Manchester City would be able to stay at the top of the rankings, but yesterday the points that Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool had were not much different, only slightly different. Now that Arsenal are in the lead, their points are quite safe, this can make them survive, but they must still be able to beat other teams in the next match to be able to maintain this best ranking.

with their next match, I don't think they have a tough job to face their opponents, but that doesn't mean they have to underestimate the opposing team they will face later, of course they have to be prepared by trying to stay in their current ranking.

The winning was a very big motivation for Arsenal. It was massive and well celebrated and that is one big huddle they have crossed. Many people were thinking that Chelsea will be able to stop Arsenal because of the way Chelsea have improved in their scoring. Arsenal truly disappointed their critics with that outstanding victory and have once again shown that they have not given up on the trophy. They still have two major matches which is against Man United and Tottenham but with their spectacular performance yesterday, they will easily win Man United but Tottenham is not yet clear.

Kai Haverzt was previously also considered a failed purchase by Arsenal, when his first few games with Arsenal his were not able to show his capacity as a striker and even then many people actually thought Arsenal had wasted 70 million euros, I think at that time it was quite natural that many people were pessimistic about Arsenal's decision to buy Haverzt who did look like a failure at Chelsea and even when playing at Arsenal he It took him 11 games to score his first goal for Arsenal, but at the moment I think Arteta has proven that he is never wrong in buying players and the proof is that for now Arsenal fans are starting to smile after seeing Kai Haverzt has scored 11 goals and 5 assists currently with Arsenal.

I think for now Chelsea do need to immediately evaluate their squad, Chelsea and Arsenal have a lot of young players in their squad but the methods of coaching from Arteta make young players more able to show their performance, besides Pochettino's attitude is not decisive makes their young players often do silly things in matches like what happened against Everton last week,  I think Pochettino is not talented to coach a young squad because the team he has coached so far is more predominantly filled with experienced or senior players, so it is true what you say, if it is better for Pochettino to be given the opportunity to choose the players he wants in the transfer market later.

Merseyside derby today. Team form and player profile goes out the window for this one, it comes down to who wants it more and who is willing to fight the most for it. As an Arsenal fan and I fully expecting (hoping) Everton to come away with something. A win is a big task but a draw in front of their home crowd is very much doable.

I hope Calvert-Lewin will be fit in time for the match, he is not the most clinical in front of goal but is the best option they have at the moment.

Without Palmer Chelsea are really a mess obviously. I was expecting them to have serious issues with scoring because of that. However this 5-0 score was way more than I expected. Arsenal scored many goals by short time intervals in the second half. Chelsea were already desperate in the first half as they weren't productive at all. 

Pochettino said that this wasn't Cole Palmer Football Club, this was Chelsea Football Club. However after this result too we can comfortably say they are hopeless without Palmer. Especially in big games and the other ones would also get more difficult. Palmer has taken a big responsibility so far and the team are relying on him.

Sometimes it happens like this in football. A player can be in a team and be performing so bad but after he is being signed to another team you will see him performing very well. Arteta is a good coach no doubt about and you can see how the players are doing very great in permanence. I think Arteta is a coach that can bring the best performance out from a player, it wad so interesting seeing scoring those great goals for arsenal.

It will be better for Chelsea if the players are being selected by the coach because he knows the best players that can work well for him. Chelsea still needs to give Pochettino more time, he is not the problem of the club.

Top lad who has moved on from his past. You know, he never had a good start as he switched to Arsenal but everything payed off with his hardwork and commitment to the team. Mikel Arteta as well backed him game after game even when he wasn't productive.

I won't say he failed with Chelsea, he scored the winner for them against Manchester City during the Champions League Competition Finals, Yes? That's something to remember him for, Chelsea just needed that overhauling, so they had to let player's like him leave the club.

Mauricio Pochetino has already had worst stats compared to Graham Potter, but I don't know what plans the management of Chelsea has for him. They should make good choices ahead of the new season, so they don't get affected with the same tiring performance they had tis season.
The entire Arsenal team that started the match played well for me except Saka. David Raya indeed a good option to be extended during transfer window.

The most surprising thing for me was Kai Havertz scoring two goals. This guy failed in Chelsea, but he obviously had found his place in Arsenal. Maybe Arteta knows how to help his players show their best performance. I've always thought that Havertz is a mediocre and overvalued player. Chelsea was in ruins during the second half, but I think that Pochettino shouldn't be sacked. The American guy, who is the current owner of Chelsea must stop with the transfer madness and start buying only the players, that are approved by Pochettino for the next season.

This is proof that Arsenal succeeded in showing and deserved a landslide victory. Of these 5 goals, I highlighted Havertz performance, which in Arteta's hands actually transformed into a quality player. He proved to the team that had sold him that it was the biggest mistake. Pochettino was embarrassed by Havertz goal celebration. I likes the way he is getting better with Arsenal, and is willing to fight to improve his performance. I didn't think this far about the score that Arsenal could score, my initial prediction was just over 3 goals but seeing the Chelsea players on the front line without Cole Palmer did have a bad impact in terms of attack. Jackson couldn't be relied on, he was too selfish to be an executor and his performance was quite bad.

Manchester City 2 matches against Brighton and North Forest shouldn't be too much pressure as long as Pep and his players are really focused on maximizing opportunities. Consistently Manchester City certainly has a high chance of getting 3 points in these 2 matches. So it's better to field his best squad because in a situation like this Pep can't take too many risks.

One thing about arsenal is that once they are playing with big club they are always serious but when they jam small club they always under rate them without noing that they are going for title race, the game yesterday was really unbelievable that arsenal is going to won Chelsea by 5 zero without Chelsea even score 1 goal, I think they really played well yesterday and for them to think of premier league title them really need to maintain with their wining ways and pray for man city to lose 1 of their match, but could this be possible?

It can be considered as last chance for arsenal. Unable to winning the rest of game meant no trophy for this season. If manchester city will able to get cleansheet for the remaining games then city win the competition. Arsenal is still under big pressure even though it keeps win the remaining games.
Chelsea has very poor defensive line.  My impressions about chelsea's defenders if they were so lazy in protecting the goal keeper.


The first thing he must do to put him back on the bench



Yeah, jackson. This garbage striker must be abandoned in the upcoming games. He has horrible finishing. So many times he was being scared when one on one against the goal keeper. Pochettino shall get rid of him. The better for the club to sell jackson.

To be honest with you irrespective of how poor in performance Chelsea is I never expected the match to end this way because I know that Chelsea matches with Arsenal is not always easy for the both teams because during the time Chelsea was in a good form Arsenal doesn't take them much time to win but with their poor performances now has made Arsenal far superior than them, however in terms of this match the early 4 minutes goal was actually one of the things that disorganized Chelsea performance, although they were still trying a bit after the goal that was the reason they managed to prevent Arsenal from scoring again on the first half.

But when they come back to the second half Arsenal showed them what they are made up of because Chelsea could no longer be able to defend well and the goals keep coming, so actually with the outcome of the match non of the Chelsea fans will be happy because the goals was too much and it was as if Arsenal was playing with a smaller team because of how poor Chelsea was performing, however Arsenal has ones again shows everyone that they are a club to be respected.

Arsenal winning strongly today against Chelsea is their way of sending strong warnings to City that they're still very much interested in winning the EPL title. I watched the game for the most parts and even from the first half, Chelsea was looking really shaky at the back but Petrovic was on ground to deliver very crucial saves in the first half and early in the second half until things went from bad to worse for Chelsea.

Pochettino is going to have plenty of work to do in the next transfer window because this Chelsea defense without Thiago Silva in command has always been a joke.

Chelsea this season as been inconsistent even against the big teams and majority of the issues here is from Poch, who usually fails to make the right changes or use the right formation, his strategy is sub-par, no hope on him succeeding at Chelsea if only Blind Todd can see and get a better management staff for the club.

If we are talking Chelsea in Roman Abramovich era, Chelsea is surely a big team. Winning against them with 5 goals will be a great achievement. But Chelsea is just an average team now. I think it is just a normal win, scoring 5 goals isn't a very amazing achievement. Chelsea defense is weak, it is not surprising to score 5 goals.
