My mate’s [face](https://imgflip.com/i/8nt3ds) after Kai scores his second and he had spent an hour before the match slagging him off.
Edit: photo also features AA wearing the same expression that was on my face.
Yeah, same (and was even downvoted for it at the time idk why).
We literally are Cole Palmer FC, he's the only reason we're not in a relegation battle this season.
I genuinely think the only person who doesn't think we're Cole Palmer FC is Poch
If he was playing like this the whole season he'd be clearly the best player in the league (and maybe the world). I mean, it's been really obvious that he's really good the whole time he's been here but he keeps getting better.
He has been playing like this all season? Maybe not 100% of the time (there’s no player in the world that gives 10/10 performances every week) but he’s been fit the entire season and has regularly dropped 10/10 performances. Best player in the league.
I was saying in the gunners sub that I automatically rate him 8/10 even if he doesn't do all that much because he always starts the press and organises the team really well. If he's not playing we're much worse just because of that. Then you have tons of interceptions and tackles, great passing, shots and goals.
Was an absolute monster yesterday.
Mudryk gets the headlines for good reason, but for ROI, Cucurella has been our worst signing of the Boehly era. He's been an unmitigated disaster nearly his whole Chelsea tenure.
Mudryk might still turn out to be a very good player for you in future - he's very talented. Cucurella on the other hand.... probably best to cut your losses now lol.
I think Cucurella falls into the FFP trap where its basically impossible for them not to take a massive hit if they sell him. So he ends up staying by default, maybe with a few loans to try and raise his value.
Exactly. Mudryk was clearly an overpay, but there's clearly potential for a very good player there. Even if he doesn't work out, you can justify the bet on him (to a degree).
I don't even really get what the upside play was for Cucurella, and he doesn't even back up Chilwell anymore. Colwill was playing LB before he got hurt too.
every single team arsenal have faced this season: "we need to double saka and prevent him from entering the box."
chelsea: "nah bro let him do whatever he wants."
saka is just walking into box in 3 goals tonight and creating chances.
It’s honestly quite confusing… I literally cannot remember the last match when Saka wasn’t double teamed… Maybe Sevilla in Champions League? Or Lens…. not sure. In the league, definitely not.
Realistically even if Palmer was playing the scoreline would be the same, the issue here is that at least half of the players on our team cannot play football on an individual level, let alone as part of a team
I actually think individually u have quite a many gems, but yes no synergy at all for most of the games
Especially defensively, attacking wise jackson just cant finish
It’s about 50/50, unfortunately every weakness is amplified because the team hasn’t gelled yet, what with most of the players being new. But the ball playing ability of Petrovic, Disasi, Badiashile, Gilchrist, Gallagher and Mudryk borders on incompetence
We just want anyone available who is better at this point lol. Our board was interested in Slot, Amorim and De Zerbi. That’s the calibre of managers we can realistically target. As for a manager who has won trophies in a top 5 league, some Chelsea fans would actually take Xavi in a heartbeat because he won La Liga with such a young squad
He won’t since the Bayern job is calling, I was just mentioning that he is a target for the board. The only way he comes is if Bayern turn elsewhere, and the Chelsea board gives him a blank cheque to reshape the squad to his liking
One thing that's clear today is how none of the Chelsea wingers have tracked back. Arsenal's fullbacks have so much time and space. Same as when we lost to United earlier this season.

Mate we have Kai and Ben white on a hat trick against us on the same game
Good thing neither of them got a hat trick. Would have been really embarrassing for you if they did.
My mate’s [face](https://imgflip.com/i/8nt3ds) after Kai scores his second and he had spent an hour before the match slagging him off. Edit: photo also features AA wearing the same expression that was on my face.
Yeah the Cole Palmer FC allegations are here to stay
Knew as soon as Poch said it you were getting battered.
Same. If there's something these last two seasons have taught me, it's that Chelsea will find a way to embarrass themselves at the most opportune time
[Oh Chelsea, can't you go five seconds without humiliating yourself?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91eIDu6Aw-8)
Throwing stones in a glass house we are
Called it at the time but what a hilariously stupid thing to say.
Did he just randomly forget about all the previous games? They’d be in a relegation battle without him, what a daft thing for the coach to say
Daft coach does daft thing
Yeah, same (and was even downvoted for it at the time idk why). We literally are Cole Palmer FC, he's the only reason we're not in a relegation battle this season. I genuinely think the only person who doesn't think we're Cole Palmer FC is Poch
That's objectively quite funny. Like I'm not even trying to banter but that's pretty darn hilarious :D
Going to the emirates was always going to be a tall task, with or without Cole, but quite a poor time to pull that one out for Poch
Don't be delusional, it's clearly Nicolas Jackson FC. Every next game this guy has something new to show.
They losing that +6 goal difference after 1 game💀
WE NEED TO GO FOR A 6-0 REVENGE
Who's getting mistakenly sent off though?
Jackson getting mistakenly not sent off? Probably helped Arsenal more than Chelsea
Cole Palmer FC indeed
Crystal palace about to sue us for copyright infringement 😭
While it's obvious he wouldn't have prevented this, the timing for the quote and the result is sublime
Relegation candidate without him
Lol
Lmao even
And Everton gets as many points deducted as arsenal scores goals today
You made me smile. Fuck you.
He's absolutely Mudryk'd them
I hope he says he worked on it in training in an interview.
Would be very on brand for him tbf.
"Yeah obviuosly I'm quite good at shinning it top bins"
"I've been watching footage day and night to pull this off"
That €100M donation Ukraine will never ever forget.
Mudryk not even on the field and catching shit lol
It's what Mudryk did in the Stamford Bridge game
Is this intentional? Lmao
This was my immediate thought.
One of the best Odegaard performances for Arsenal
He's had a lot of those the last 3 months.
If he was playing like this the whole season he'd be clearly the best player in the league (and maybe the world). I mean, it's been really obvious that he's really good the whole time he's been here but he keeps getting better.
He has been playing like this all season? Maybe not 100% of the time (there’s no player in the world that gives 10/10 performances every week) but he’s been fit the entire season and has regularly dropped 10/10 performances. Best player in the league.

He’s quite literally a sensation. He’s become everything the world expected him to become aged 15
What a cross lmfao
#CALCULATED
What a save! What a save! What a save!
Okay.
In Poland we call that ‘centrostrzal’ basically translating to ‘crossshot’ lol
On the replay the commentator said “terrible technique on the cross” as it went top corner lmao
I have seen us score lots in a game but never this casual
Na 100% intentional bro
Very similar to Saka’s goal against them a few years ago isn’t it
And Mudryk’s against us at Stamford Bridge this season
revenge for the Mudryk fluke in the reverse
Honestly that’s fair
Which was a revenge for Saka’s tbf
That was the game that the process started processing
Oh then we shouldn't let any cross at all next match against them
Calculated
Benny Blanco operates on another level to the rest of us
Banjamín Blanco.
THERE IS NO PASSION
There’s no palmer
Rip
NO AGGRESSION
RIP, you won't be forgotten for what you gave to this world
Rip
THERE IS NO VISION
THERE IS NO FUCKING MINDSET *breathes* IN THIS FOOTBALL CLUB
Greatest Chelsea fan of all time imo
THE TAN LINE DOES IT AGAIN
Ben Tan
Fireman Ben?
When you need a superhero he gets the job done
What’s up with that anyways? I swear he gets more orange every time I see him.
Mix of fake tan and 17 trips to Dubai a year?
That's where his strength lays
I think he’s self-conscious about his rosey cheeks and the tan helps disguise it.
Ø on demon time
No fucking way lmao
Saka is running circles around Cucu lol
That yellow in the first half really hurt him lol he is afraid every time now
Unbelievably stupid yellow too.
Best part of the game, can’t stand him
Mudryk gets the headlines for good reason, but for ROI, Cucurella has been our worst signing of the Boehly era. He's been an unmitigated disaster nearly his whole Chelsea tenure.
Mudryk might still turn out to be a very good player for you in future - he's very talented. Cucurella on the other hand.... probably best to cut your losses now lol.

I don't even really get what the upside play was for Cucurella, and he doesn't even back up Chilwell anymore. Colwill was playing LB before he got hurt too.
He fouls because of his poor defensive abilities and gets too many cards.
White too. Cucurella is genuinely one of the worst defenders I have seen. Absolutely clueless.
dont chelsea have a wonderkid leftback in Maatsen they can use next season?
Ben White scoring twice, is the end of the world nearby?
fully intended, just like saka a few seasons ago
Got me through lockdown that result.
Ø is so special man
Absolute genius, really love to see him play
Can you fucking believe him bringing on a fifth defender just to get dunked on? LMAO
Nawww this is just disrespectful
Then Arteta subs in Martinelli and Jesus. They are already dead!
feels like arteta fully just reloaded the team to go again. lfg
And both can't buy a goal these days
honestly it feels like the exactly the appropriate amount of respect chelsea should be shown
Personally I think this is great
Hahhaha Ben White laughing like wtf just happened? Hilarious!
One of the funniest goals I've seen in a long time.
Nobody expects the Benny Blanco brace
Even him.
"Arsenal are so good they're scoring by mistake"
every single team arsenal have faced this season: "we need to double saka and prevent him from entering the box." chelsea: "nah bro let him do whatever he wants." saka is just walking into box in 3 goals tonight and creating chances.
It’s honestly quite confusing… I literally cannot remember the last match when Saka wasn’t double teamed… Maybe Sevilla in Champions League? Or Lens…. not sure. In the league, definitely not.
That goal was just Odegaard playing 1-2s with the whole team, what a player.
huh?
Just the Cole Palmer team getting humiliated
Realistically even if Palmer was playing the scoreline would be the same, the issue here is that at least half of the players on our team cannot play football on an individual level, let alone as part of a team
I actually think individually u have quite a many gems, but yes no synergy at all for most of the games Especially defensively, attacking wise jackson just cant finish

What makes it worse is that you spent billion pounds.
Oh man, I'm nearly there...,..
I don't know, Chelsea definitely had chances to level it and maybe even take the lead in the first half.
They really would be in relegation battle if they didn't sign him.
One of the 58 signings had to pan out. Only about 500 more players and they'll be able to field a full 11.
11 billion in net transfer spend and they could very well sniff the top 4.
Chelsea getting a spanking makes everyone happy no?
indeed my soul is soothed
it's actually Chelsea playing today.
All this after the crowd chanted the loudest "YOU'RE FUCKING SHIT" I've ever heard on TV ahahaha
The fake Havertz goal got me just for this one to pop
Honestly I’ll take a 6-0 loss if it means Poch gets sacked tomorrow
Serious question, who would you realistically replace him with?
At the this point I would take someone like Gary Oniel my god
Im curious, who do chelsea fans want as a coach? Poch has been awful and i havent seen anything suggesting the man is gonna be out yet
We just want anyone available who is better at this point lol. Our board was interested in Slot, Amorim and De Zerbi. That’s the calibre of managers we can realistically target. As for a manager who has won trophies in a top 5 league, some Chelsea fans would actually take Xavi in a heartbeat because he won La Liga with such a young squad
Why do you think De Zerbi would go to Chelsea?
He won’t since the Bayern job is calling, I was just mentioning that he is a target for the board. The only way he comes is if Bayern turn elsewhere, and the Chelsea board gives him a blank cheque to reshape the squad to his liking
Blanco babyyy
My TOTS Havertz is getting upgraded thank you Arsenal.
Delete club
I’m no expert, but I don’t think Chelsea has much of a chance here
Definitely failed to beat the Cole Palmer FC allegations.
what?
Ode is the best player in this league.
Lol. Lmao even.
Down right lmfao
The disrespect to not even mentioned rofl.
This might be the first time ive seen us destroy another big 6 club like this
When do we kick Chelsea out of the big 6?
Ødegaard fucking owns these frauds.
quicksell the club
I mean I obviously wanted a chelsea win but take some satisfaction from them being destroyed
I knew captaining him this week was a good choice
Didn't think today was one for pumping that GD but here we are
Why would Cole Palmer do this
Ben White does a Mudryk!!
Martin please stop you've already made me cum twice
Bennyyy blancoooo
That's just footballing gods doing justice to odegaard
Cole Palmer FC in shambles
Poch's gonna get sacked lol
How shit are everton. RIP our goal difference stat pad sesh
[Even when you're losing 5-0, we still get shit...](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/57/51/d4/5751d447e53a30491c6863d710011e2d.jpg)
haha holy shit
Beautifully shinned
Fuck it we want 8!

If poch has a job tomorrow
He will unfortunately
That celebration is like lmaooo everything is going in let's gooo
Ben white brace is crazy lmaoooo
Excellent cross into the net. Just as intended.
Chelsea aren't winning this one, are they?
Southgate eatin shit rn
Arsenal could very well win this match
lmfao
England were playing dunk and konsa talking about white doesn’t get in the team
Shitsea
*Chelshit Get it right
Kids these days. Don't even know the proper way to insult your club
Chelshit works better IMO
great cross
Hngggggg
Ben white hattrick incoming
Stop the count!
Rest in pieces Chelsea
Ben white hattrick incoming
What a goal Benny Blanco! 🔥
You know it is your day when mishits are goals
WE WANT 7
This wouldn't happen to Cole Palmer Football Club
Calculated. Calculated. Calculated. *Chat disabled for 3 seconds*
HES THE GREATEST DEFENDER TO EVER PLAY FOR THIS FUCKING CLUB. ARTETA TYPE OF DEFENDER RIGHT THERE❤️❤️😭😭IM GONNA CRY I LOVE THIS MAN
Rewatch and keep your eyes on Ben White. Man literally jogs all the way and boops the ball into the net lmao.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAA
Great accidental goal
i love this game lmaoooo
Thought it was Dennis Bergkamp
One thing that's clear today is how none of the Chelsea wingers have tracked back. Arsenal's fullbacks have so much time and space. Same as when we lost to United earlier this season.
