    If the games ends 2-2 with both teams putting in sterling defensive efforts then this whole sport is a stupid waste of time.

    Finally Xakha is off! He is not suited to this. He has no mobility or positional awareness for this kind of play
     
    Shen-O repped this.

    The spacing between Torreira/Guendouzi and the rest of mids is too much when we are trying to build from back.

    Thinking Ramsey for Ozil and Lacazette for Iwobi.

    ^^^ Agree. Let's get Laca on soon. I really want to see Laca and Auba start pairing.

    Nice to see some changes being made.

    Well done to Iwobi, put in a good shift today and scored a nice goal.

    Xhaka had better not start next game. Ozil either probably. I would love to see competition for places for real to avoid the stale lazy play that marked so much of last few seasons.

    Need to see more of Torreira, but I prefer El Neny over Xhaka as well.

    The team needs to be picked on merit. The manager has shown willingness to sub big names, hopefully he won't be afraid to drop them.

    Bellerin should be dropped as well on this showing.

    Ugh. Lacazette, Bellerin, and Mustafi so poor on that one.

    Well Torreira caught watching there. That's not a good sign.

    God awful turnover by Laca there.

    Overall poor defending again.

    Deserved. We were playing bunkerball.

    Nah that was not his fault. Lacazette gave it away deep to their best player and then Bellerin did no real defending while Mustafi stuck leg out while falling down.

    This offside trap is really a trap to us and not the opponent so far this season.

    He was ball watching. He’s been great aside from that but he could have tracked the runner. It’s not all on him, but he wasn’t innocent.

    Desperately bad at the back. Bellerin and both centre halves aren't worth their places. Created plenty of chances, but there is a mountain of work to be done in defence.
