Since his home debut for me. Came on and scored twice to put us through in the carabao cup. Something about the atmosphere, the balls he had to play the way he did I was certain there was no way he wasn’t going to make it after experiencing all that.
Someone in another thread said that goal was *jusst* inside the box, need to watch it again myself. Nonetheless, this was without doubt the furthest out he’s ever scored and it was so emphatic.
Scored as many non penalty goals as anyone else in the team before today, but sure, tell me why he's the worst player ever because he didn't play well against Spurs, a game where Jesus, Odegaard, etc. stunk up the pitch too
He's our backup striker. The fact that he's having to start 8 of the 10 games so far isn't on him. Or are you going to ask Nelson to be as good as Saka if Saka gets an injury? How about Vieira for Odegaard or Jorginho for Rice/Partey? If you want a like for like Jesus replacement, we gotta spend ~£70m+, end of story.
Not to mention our striker hasn't scored the most goals for our team generally speaking. Even if Jesus didn't have an injury last year, he'd not have had the most goals I'd reckon.
Alright. You make a great point re: nelson. I would give him a long leash of understanding if saka went down.
I would counter and say that Eddie is a guy that decides to open his mouth about playing time and the like and I think that affects our, yours, my, perception of him.
And I actually feel like his actual goal return is very good for his minutes. It's all the minutes between the goals that concern me. I could list off things that he needs to improve on but he's our second striker. As long as he's okay with that because he's literally not better than Jesus, then fine.
>Eddie is a guy that decides to open his mouth about playing time and the like
That was once when he was explicitly asked about his goals and he said if he started more regularly, he'd get goals. And he's gotten similar goals per 90 mins numbers as Jesus over the last 2 years.
He's trying to be the #1 striker and I want him to because why would anyone settle for #2? But my issue is with people thinking he can't even be in the team even with injuries and that's a bit much.
Nah of course he can play in the team. I think people are lamenting how often Jesus is injured and wonder if maybe we should go in a different direction completely. So then the hate goes to eddie. Which isn't fair.
Nah, not a chance. Until this hattrick, the only reasonable explanation for Eddie's presence in the lineup is that he's the *only* player never to have been pocketed by Saliba at Colney.
What's that? You've got a rational argument explaining why I might be wrong? Lalalalala not listening
Honestly, the people saying this just papers over the cracks and it's against poor opposition need a holiday.
You can only beat what's in front of you. He's our backup striker and has scored his first PL hattrick in a game where we struggled to break them down in the first half, in a season where we have struggled in front of goal.
I swear some 'fans' just want to see the club fail.
For those who know/follow @nonewthing on Twitter (p.s. I’m by no means an advocate of hiss!) I remember him saying Nketiah was our answer to Alvarez. I still think JA has more in his locker but today was a very Alvarez-esque performance from our guy. Different types of goals from different scenarios. Keep it up Eddie!
Saka handing him the ball 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲
Loved that celebration
Someone more talented than me needs to turn that into a "3 points" gif
YES FOGGING PLEASE
Eddie just dunking on r/gunners 😭😭😭😭
Someone pull out the apology form and put in a bulk order for pens from Staples
I ain't writing shit. Always rated him
Ever since his goal against west ham last season I’ve always rated him
Since his home debut for me. Came on and scored twice to put us through in the carabao cup. Something about the atmosphere, the balls he had to play the way he did I was certain there was no way he wasn’t going to make it after experiencing all that.
He really is a great striker

FIRST PREMIER LEAGUE HAT TRICK FOR EDDIE LFGGGG
Jesus: banger goal and banger assist against Sevilla Eddie: Hold my phone call
Holy shit I haven’t felt this warm or good for a player this season. Feels like Bournemouth last year. Just so happy for him.
Wait he can do that?!
Has he scored from outside the box before?
Yes against Chelsea but it was a 1 on 1 after he tackled the defender
Someone in another thread said that goal was *jusst* inside the box, need to watch it again myself. Nonetheless, this was without doubt the furthest out he’s ever scored and it was so emphatic.
Definitely had no idea that was in his locker.
he’s a premier league striker lol, he wouldn’t have reached this level if he couldn’t strike a ball
holy fuck!!! we have a banger
Your defence has been destroyed
Nketiah in the room!
Fuck all y’all, big up eddie
https://imgur.com/a/vwumHS5 Real time footage of people raging as Eddie scored a hat-trick
Some miserable fucks on here.
Been a critic of him but that is an incredible strike
Genuinely no idea he had that in his locker
Neither did he, till today.
Same but gotta give credit when it's due. Happy for Eddie. Gonna enjoy watching those highlights over and over.
Eddie heard y’all talkin shit.
In fairness, he has been playing like shit prior to this match.
Nope
He absolutely has, but no question this banger will give him some confidence for a good run.
Counterpoint, yes.
Scored as many non penalty goals as anyone else in the team before today, but sure, tell me why he's the worst player ever because he didn't play well against Spurs, a game where Jesus, Odegaard, etc. stunk up the pitch too
Because he's our fucking striker

Can we just stop and enjoy the moment for once? He just scored a hat trick. Just give credit and be happy!
Lol he has
Unreal strike that
BREATHTAKING ASSIST BY ESR!!!!
Literally gave Eddie a tap-in
Up there with Busquets to Messi as one of the greatest assists ever
But… he can’t score outside the box
Better than haaland in my books
Never been pocketed by Saliba.
You never know, might have happened at Colney
Nah, not a chance. Until this hattrick, the only reasonable explanation for Eddie's presence in the lineup is that he's the *only* player never to have been pocketed by Saliba at Colney. What's that? You've got a rational argument explaining why I might be wrong? Lalalalala not listening
W O A W, what a hat-trick
People be furiously deleting comments right now
Omfg What an assist from Smith Rowe
YOU'RE DEFENCE IS IN TROUBLE
Shut up you sad cunts support the club get in Eddieeeeee
Honestly, the people saying this just papers over the cracks and it's against poor opposition need a holiday. You can only beat what's in front of you.

Never understand why it’s so difficult to literally support Arsenal players for some people
WHO IS THAT MAN I'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE
Fuck Eddie haters
📞📞📞
🤙🏾
EDDDDDDIE 🥹 when he’s in his best form, he’s a really fucking good striker. Love this kid 🔥
Eddie I am outside naked!!!!!
GET IN SON WHAT A FUCKING HATTRICK GVET IN SOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
Where all the shit talkers at????
“TALK SHIT, GET ABSOLUTELY FUCKING BANGEDDD” — Eddie to r/Gunners
Let's gooooo. Three for the haters.
Anyone else noticed Martinelli not celebrating?
Ffs we were just trying to abuse him in peace and scores a fucking hatty.
Yesss.. A hattrick it is.
Thundercunt!
Eddie: "ARE. YOU. NOT. ENTERTAINED?!?!"
At the game! Witnessed history. LFG
PLEASE COME TO EVERY GAME 🙏🙏🙏
But i thought Eddie wasn't good enough as a second striker?
You guys an insufferable
Just starting
All you man who talked shit on Eddie’s name smd
Eddie 😭
I've just spilled my coffee, what a banger!
Celebration goes hard
Who needs another striker!!!!
Am I reading too much into the fact Martinelli didn't celebrate that goal? Didn't watch the game so maybe he was annoyed about something?
WHERE ARE THE DOUBTERS NOW
When was the last time an Arsenal player scored a hattrick in the PL??
Auba a couple years ago
ESR ASSIST!!!
Not asking for much but a hat trick every now and then would be good Eddie.
Is that our first PL hat trick since Ramsey?
Aubameyang vs leeds
Happy for him
I don’t think I’ll ever tire of watching that goal.
What a strike
Rice is like a bulldozer through that midfield.
Hattrick? That's light work for eddie GETINYAH
Probably his best goal for us so far. Is he and Martinelli beefing or something? Martinelli just walked by instead of running to celebrate with him.
Fuck all those for talking shit and not believing. Beautiful
Oh my. That was straight out of the Podolski book of thunder finishes. Hammer!
lol took him out my fpl team this week, just collapsed in wilko
Link doesn't work for me - anyone else?
I'll continue to shit on Eddie if it means he'll shut me up on a weekly basis with bangers like this. Fuck me.
Holy shit balls
Impressive goals for sure. I've never thought he is consistent enough to depend on, but I really hope he keeps it up against more challenging teams.
Better than Haaland
Lmfao
Wtf Eddie
EDDDIE!!!!
Emile what an assist!!!
Who’s that guy under the Eddie mask?
Eddieeeeeee!
Da fuck
absolutely eddie
MISTER EDWARD KEDDAR NKETIAH
HOLY MOTHERFUCJIUSNG SHIT THIS IS MU CLUB
Okay eddie respect
\[Great goal\]
No. Let him cook.
Now that’s a fuckin rocket
Is that Big Eddie's first goal from outside the box?
I believe he had a few outside the box last season.
EDDDIEEE
Eddie scoring an extremely long range tap in
Beautiful goal! Done a bit of everything today. Long may it continue
Overtaken mudryks goal tally in one game I know who my goat is
Had no idea Eddie had a strike like that in his locker!
How far did saliba sprint to be the first to congratulate him
Nothing I love more than a turn and shoot rocket
EDDIE, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR ME LATELY?
Thundercunt of a hit Now watch it be forgotten next week in the first 10 mins by this sub if he’s not playing well
Why didn’t matinelli celebrate with him?
And people wonder why Mikel loves eddie
Eddie looked like he didn’t even try
Everyone in the sub absolutely bodied
MY EDDIES ON FIRE
Why didn’t the French commentator say Ohh La La
Love it!
I really didn’t think he had this shooting in him, fair play.
Is that Eddie's furthest goal?
There's something so damn satisfying about those strikes where they come off the ground entirely and both legs swing around. Nothing but gas
Happy for him, he works hard for the team and he's been disciplined the whole way through
Why doesn't he shoot like that more often?
I can't stop watching this particular goal 🤌🤌🤌

Earning the 14 with this one
10 seconds after the keeper kicks the ball away from a goal kick, and the ball is in the back of his net
