He was, but he did start off a little iffy at first; after that he was great. I find Kovacic and Jorginho quite a boring midfield pairing, and we need to improve on that next season to be able to challenge.

They'll come good, I think we need a Fernandes type midfielder to get us ticking, Kova and Jorginho just aren't that. Even James and Mount was better, apart from the few mistakes James made at first before settling in!!

We looked like a top team when we made the changes and went 4 at the back. Havertz should always play.

We looked much better with 4 at the back, so glad he took off Jorginho and Kovacic.

I'd rather play Havertz, f**k Giroud.

Why do we always gift wrap chances when we do concede. Grealisy should have had a yellow card for his second warning earlier in the game. Get Pulisic off for Havertz, he's been poor. Players getting sucked into Villa's games as well is winding me up.

The offside decisions via VAR really frustrate me at times. Chillwell's goal should have stood in the FA Cup and they literally made their minds up so quickly when I've seen them completely scrutinised for 4-5 minutes when they are that close. They weren't giving that to us in a million years due to the ESL fiasco.

If he's fit I'd play Havertz over Pulisic against Villa, the rest can remain the same for sure.

Great win, though us messing about let's a team back into it. Tammy should have been on over Giroud, not sure on the decision behind that. Jorginho top scorer with 7 😆.

I think staying in London would be a huge plus for Kane, though like others have said Levy selling to us is a huge obstacle. For me he is the perfect striker for us, but if we can't get him then Mbappe all the way.

I can't see Mbeing available and Kane would be the perfect striker for us as he can lead the line, link up, assist and score. Having someone like him up top with Ziyech, Havertz and Werner would be amazing, and then sign a quality box to box midfielder who can shoot and assist.

Did anyone else cheer when Jorginho was subbed, pure drivel again today.

I actually quite like it, much better than the cheap looking leaked version.

No matter how crap Arsenal are we always put in a performance like that against them, I just don't get it. Like it has been said already, they were defensive and then they went ultra defensive after we gift wrapped them their goal and from that point Jorginho should have been the one hooked instead of Billy. This is one loss that's really frustrated me this season more than any other, including the WBA game!. Players like Zouma really haven't done themselves any favours here with TT. With Giroud or CHO you could give them the benefit of the doubt of not playing much, but still, they needed to be much better than that. Personally I would have left Havertz on, yes he missed that chance in the first half but I think he could have redeemed himself, but I think TT had the plan of playing him for a shorter period to prepare for the FA Cup Final.

He should have come off instead of Billy, he was sh*te. All he kept doing was pointing forward whilst running with the ball and then passing backwards or sideways. Giroud and Hudson-Odoi were useless subs as well. If only Havertz had of scored that chance I think it could have been different, Arsenal getting the first goal gave them the impetus to park the bus.

Even if City do play their strongest XI they still have to be careful playing a high line as we'll exploit that. Bring on their best, let's do away with the excuses.

We have Tomori and Sarr to come back in and I think both will be great under Tuchel.

I can easily see Tomori getting a chance under Tuchel, he's done wonders for Rudiger. We also have Sarr coming back from Porto, so ideally our defence is sorted without having to buy more players.

There were a couple of occasions where he seemed to rush a decision, one which led to their goal. I think it was just an off game for him as he has been pretty immense this season.

Azpi is a warrior!

How can anyone think of selling this guy?? He gives us something else which is great to have better squad depth and strength. He's been up and down with injuries and hasn't really been able to be played into form. In no way should we look to ship him off and I believe his best is yet to come.

Too many injuries though.

Personally we should look to win them all, and there is no reason why we shouldn't. This is now the business end and we need all the points to secure our top 4 position. Beating City this weekend would be a big psychological blow to them before the CL final. As for Arsenal, I would love for us to give them a whooping, the FA Cup final last season still cuts deep.

We didn't buy Havertz to be the new Ronaldo / Messi, why does every decent young talent need to be compared with them. He's more like a combination of Ballack & Zidane, you can see the confidence and his style is starting to show.

It's like we signed a completely new defence compared to earlier in the season, it is crazy the mentality and fortitude we have now.
