That's net spend. The actual amount they spent is a little above other big teams. They are successful because they are well managed.

Strange starting line up. Exremely strong bench. Youngsters starting including Chambers at CH.

If we get overrun at the beginning the teams confidence will take a kicking imo.

I wish he'd started with some of the players on the bench......

1Leno
15Maitland-Niles
21Chambers
5Papastathopoulos
18Monreal
29Guendouzi
34Xhaka
7Mkhitaryan
28Willock
24Nelson
14Aubameyang

Substitutes
8Ceballos
9Lacazette
11Torreira
19Pépé
23David Luiz
26Martínez
35Martinelli Silva

Atknson the ref, enough said, I'm worried.

We need a new manager.

Our away jersey is *%^@.

Who pissed in your cornflakes?

That time of year again... Mustafi and Xhaka still here? Sixth place here we come!!

Monreal no longer has any legs,

Xhaka is the most frustrating player. Our best players have been the youngsters

Chambers has been decent I thought. Mkhitaryan both the standout worst player and closest to providing an assist.

Not much to shout about.

Willock and Nelson probably the pick of an average bunch.

Guendozi runs all over for the team. Defensively effective. Forward play weak.

Brilliant assist. Who was it?

Maitland-Niles. Really good

3 points. Clean sheet. Away win.

That’ll do nicely.

Three points and a clean sheet. AMN, Willock and Aubameyang the standout performers for me. Substitutions were odd. Willock was playing well and Ceballos really struggled. Giving a Brazilian teenager his debut in the rain at Newcastle??? Pépé did ok with one superb feint and turn.

Am I bias, or did Mkhitaryan made at least 2 poorly weighted passes already?

Well, that's a game that won't live long in the memory. Still 3 points away from home is not to be sniffed at. The sooner we can get the newbies into the side the better because we need an uplift in quality.

Great result. The opening game is always tough and in those conditions with a depleted first 11 a win is a great result. Honourable mention for chambers who I thought did ok.

Could have been worse. Pépé on for Mkhi and Luiz for Xhaka to tighten up defence and we're on our way. Other than those 2 changes I think we have been good.

Giving a Brazilian teenager his debut in the rain at Newcastle??? Pépé did ok with one superb feint and turn. Yeah seemed more like a "get em on the pitch" than anything tactical or useful. Thankfully Newcastle didn't seem too interested. Ref was as always shite. A blatant shirt tug in the first half, as professional a foul as you could see didn't even get a yellow while Arsenal were pinged for the most minor of infractions. Special mention to Mikhitaryan who I though was utter garbage but strangely think he'll get better after a couple of matches. Lazy b****** though.
