Four Arsenal players in Premier League team of the season so far; Haal or nothing for Man City?

Talk of Arsenal continues to dominate the Mailbox. This week's Premier League team of the season is always fun.

Kepa, Trippier, Saliba, Martinez, Cancelo, Partey, De Bruyne, Almiron, and Haaland are the current Premier League team of the season. Haals is the player of this season's team. Ash, London, has a question about the importance of sharing goalscoring responsibility. He has developed a statistical measure of how much responsibility a team shares. It is possible to have too many goalscorers.

Arsenal is the only team that is not on form. They are winning games and are title contenders. Man City is near the bottom. Ron Jeremias, Virginia, USA (Arsenal) is wondering when does form become class. He suggests that the old cliche that ‘form is temporary, class is permanent’ is usually used for a team off form expected to come back.

Liverpool are playing at their peak right now. The team that won the Premier League in 2009/14 didn't finish in the top 3 for 5 seasons. Liverpool lost key players and lacked quality in their squad.

Arsenal reminds me of the teams that have won the Premier League recently.

Arsenal finished outside the top 4 for the last 3 seasons under Arteta. It will be interesting to see how Arsenal progress under him.

There is a lack of interest in the World Cup in Qatar. The preamble to the tournament is usually after the domestic trophies. I'm hoping for lots of controversy that highlights the underlying issues in Middle East. I imagine we'll be cheering on England if they have a half decent performance in their first game and crying in our beers when they go out on penalties. FIFA historically have been non political but they are going to have to get involved here. Marc would like Arsenal to win the league and Tony Adams to be the winner of Strictly. Hatters would prefer a proper domestic double.

Eddie Howe is on a stupid wage per annum.

The EPL sold its soul decades ago. The only reason Newcastle are where they are is the investment. Keepers have carte blanche to take out attackers without consequence. Al, Dublin, is late to the party but he thinks United should have had a penalty. Paul Murphy, Manchester, thinks it wouldn't have changed the result. Al and Paul are talking about penalties. They are also talking regarding the team of the season.

There are four Arsenal players in the Premier League team of the season so far.

If the referee is told to take a pitch side review, he should only give the real time speed reviews. Football doesn't happen in slow motion.

Adam's team lost to Arsenal at the weekend. Adam's side was listless and their defense looked awful. Adam is not happy with the way the match was played. He is also not satisfied with some conclusions drawn by MOTD. The team he supports lost the game.

Haal is one of the best players of this season.

There is no one in the midfield that can make a tackle. Arsenal breezed through the Arsenal midfield easily. Jorginho has never been the most athletic but he did put in a shift. RLC's defensive effort leaves a lot to be desired.

Arsenal's defense needs to improve. Arsenal's style of play is not working. Haal is one of the best players of this season.

Havertz has to be better to make it to the team of the season.

Mason is one of the best players in the Premier League this season. Mason needs to develop his killer ball and up his chance creation to be effective consistently.

Auba is one of the best players in the Premier League this season. He needs to score goals and take chances to be effective.

Harry Potter needs to find his base formation fast. Arsenal's attack has improved under Potter. Harry Potter's team needs some tactical consistency. Y1nka hopes Arsenal don't get their asses kicked in the City game.
