Not a free kick in the first place.

Ridiculous decision compounded by a farcical yellow.

Home ref

Our play is getting a bit helter skelter.

Can we see a replay of the gk handling outside his box maybe????

It’s too slow. Waiting for an opening that isn’t coming.

Craig pawson does have eyes and they work. Yellow for Xhaka.

Saliba!! Have to take that.

Eze’s decision making too negative.

Not a game you can bring on Dowman to change it and surely beyond Harriman Annous. Leaves Ethan as the only player to bring on to affect it up top.

It looked very dodgy.

He's been really poor. I don't know if that's down to what he's been instructed or himself struggling with the expectancy of playing for Arsenal. He's not finding space and often gets in the way of his teammates. He needs to be quicker in thought and more direct. That would give Saka more room.

It's hard to see how Arteta can change it with early subs. We just have to keep plugging away, and keep the back door firmly shut.

What did I say about a ref buying absolutely everything from the home team?

That yellow for Zubimendi just gets more and more egregious. I can’t see us winning this tbh. The way Sunderland players were smashing around and then winning soft free kicks. Do refs do any training about home bias do you think??

We look a little bit off so far against a tough well drilled team who are defending like theirs lives are in the line. Interesting to see how we respond this half as we don’t have many attacking options to bring on

I think you could do something weird where you sub Zubimendi for Ethan and pull rice back.

Dowman would feel like desperation

A little more penetration this half, but woeful finishing. I hope we can keep up the sharpness.

Well done B

Yes!

We seem to have woken up at last.

Yes. SAKA


Great pressing from Rice and then composure from Merino and Saka.

Whew!

Let's win this. COME ON!!

I like Calafiori but this feels more like a game for Myles

Trossard is such a clever player.

That's a good shout.

Saka you beauty! All us this half

Go and win this and bask in the tears of everyone

Not sure Eze is the guy for a game like this.

What a *%^@*** goal LEO

TROSSARD!!!

If we hang on here that’s an absolutely massive 3 points under our best

Trossard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fantastic hit and a great performance. He's been excellent this half. So positive.

I’d be temped to bring on Nørgaard here for Eze and try and be solid.

Time for Nørgaard.

Nørgaard and hincapie please Mikel.

Like now mate

I repeat massive 10 minutes coming up

Who for?

Nørgaard for Eze for starters.

3 at the back

6 more minutes of pain. Hang in there lads

*%^@ sake
