Elneny with a header cleared off the line

Martinelli offering a real threat and keeping Newcastle very busy at the back.

Mass anti glazers protests taking place. United fans on the pitch

Nice

Hope Ceballos gets his goal today

Why him particularly?

Being the game is behind closed doors, the question needs to be asked how they got in?

I like it that Ryan distributes the ball out very quickly and decisively.

Pass - Pass - Pass - Pass - Pass - Pass - Pass - Pass - Pass - Pass - ... Then lose possession.

Ødegaard not offering much today?

A closure for him before he leaves the Premier League.

Because he’s a complete turd of a player and couldn’t score in a brothel ?

We should never sign another player on loan again ever unless it’s a keeper because of an injury crisis.

There’s some going through the motions and acting taking place from not just him and I can’t understand why they let him take that free kick

piss - piss - piss - piss - piss - piss - piss - piss - piss - piss - poor imo

No. I’ve been reflecting on that. He appears to be increasingly ordinary in recent matches. It’s great having talent but it does need to be put into effect.

Hopefully on Thursday.

I’d far rather that Martinelli scored, or Aubameyang. Far more use for the squad going forward.

I want my Arsenal back

How many more times are we going to have to say this

Have you been on the sherry ?

What’s so bad about this compared to Thursday ?

You've got a point there

Going to give the first 5 mins of 2nd half a miss. Catching the start of F1. Go Hamilton!

We do look better with forwards on the pitch. Shame that Arteta tried too hard to be clever and didn't play any in our most important game of the season last Thursday.

A plain daft decision

Luiz looks like he's done a hamstring.

Xhaka off and Saka on fgs

Jesus xhaka

Just can’t help himself

So now Xhaka has committed another possible yellow. Tenterhooks level just gone up again.

Xhaka working on his red card ....

So stupid of Xhaka. Dumb.

Get him off the pitch before Dean does it for us.

It’s like a reprise of Thursday. Surely Arteta must have learned from that.

If Arteta didn’t learn the lesson on Thursday he’s going to learn it again today. You get the feeling he’s a bit stubborn, but getting bitten twice in two games might just drum it into him!

Come on Arteta, make the substituition. Save Xhaka from a red card.

Is this where we are at. We have to sub these arseholes off because they have no professional competency yet Arteta gets blamed.

Mate you see managers do it all the time. It’s not too good for them.

Edit: or beneath them rather

Newcastle players will be taking every opportunity to get Xhaka his second yellow

This game is irrelevant. It's a training session/chance to rest certain players,with Thursday in mind. I don't like it a) because if we do lose its going to mess with the team's confidence and put Arteta under even more pressure between now and Thursday b) Xhaka: i. playing him twice a week is simply asking for trouble ii. Left back FFS. c) What is the point of playing Ceballos?

Thick as 2 short planks. Who puts them on the pitch?

I think you are 100 percent correct but I can’t help but feel that is absolution for outright dickheadery on the part of the player. Some of the things we are seeing are *%^@*** outright stupid

Luckily last Thursday wasn't our most important game: next thursday is.

Aubameyang! Scores despite not trying anymore because of his contract ! Yesss

Martinelli. Star. Lays it on a plate for Aubameyang.

And Ødegaard did good work in build up.
