Ah yes. There is that.

2 yellows coming up

Dare I say we look more balanced with Pépé left and saka right

Workmanlike front line

He slid in in front of him. Blokey vaulted him and took the opportunity to go down. There was no real contact. It wasn’t dangerous and with cover behind him, it wasn’t denying a scoring movement. No card there.

In my opinion, of course.

Well if Luiz is going to make a lash up then it’s as well to give it to Walcott.

Luiz got away with one there. Fortunately Walcott's ball was even worse.

Walcott never changes.

That’s more like it, Theo

Yay!!!! Saka.

Sakaaaaaaaaaa

Was just about to say we've lost the initiative a little! Great play from Lacazette, and well taken by Saka

Brilliant.

And with that obvious attempt to pull him back, any thought on a card?

Edit - no wonder players go down. That would’ve been a red.

I love that kid

He must be on top of the world

By the way that’s a far harder finish than it looks

Smith Rowe looking super dangerous. Just what we need.

Keeps them occupied.

Working so hard closing down.

That’s a pen

Look at the guys arm. Who’s this co commentator

Saka!!!!!!

Are you on a time lag?

Good first half. Southampton are a very good team, there's a reason why they're in such a good league position. Very hard to play against, their pressing game is among the better in the league

He’ll let you know in 5 minutes time.

They aren’t pressing to anywhere near the intensity of Saturday. That game seems to have been a higher priority than tonight

I do like Lacazette at CF.

Was out with the dog for a pee
Dog pee, not me

Not sure if you’re joking it’s Keown. But The commentator was adamant it wasn’t a pen. Both omitted to say the defender had hold of his arm. Whatever they just pissed Saka off. C’mon Arsenal!

Much better energy going forward today. Pépé is linking better with the team today.

Just watched it again. Pretty well as you described it. Not sure that the attacker could have avoided him though.

No intention to play the ball by Bellerin.

Don't tempt fate!

Think Bellerin slid in well ahead of the man, to where he expected the ball to be - but it wasn’t there. There was no intention to play the man though. No card for me.

Screams win fouls these days

Not for us, it seems

Indeed Haz.

Need a screaming coach.

Cédric playing very well.

I was just thinking that. It’s the best that I’ve seen him do for us so far.

Agree

I think he’s been our
man of the match so far.

He’s very inventive on the ball

Yes, I would play him ahead of Bellerin on the right once Tierney is back. Better at getting into good positions, and just makes more things happen

That was a penalty skilfully avoided

Agreed.

If the hierarchy want competition for Tierney, that’s what it looks like.
