Feel a bit for AMN. Looks rusty but has barely played this season and as usual it’s out of position

With that trible dribble and shot at goal, AMN just told Arteta " I should play central midfield"

Pépé would not have been my pick to win this game...

Depends which Pépé turns up. Hopefully the good one.

Who’s playing LB? Is it Xhaka?

If Partey gets on, I’d be surprised if it’s much earlier than five minutes or so from the end. He’s been out for ages and giving him over half an hour may increase the chance of another injury?

Is it worth the risk, especially as our league games could arguably be considered a bit meaningless if we’re not going down and are too far off the European places to be in with a better than outside chance of getting one via league placings?

Maybe our best chances are winning the Europa League for a Champions League place or the FA Cup for a Europa League place? The cups surely have to be Arsenal’s big priority this season.

Saka

When Luiz gets the ball, Saka moves forward and Zhaka drops over to the left back position, but more like a back three.

My excuse is he got 20 minutes rather than over half an hour. Interesting, or disappointing for Top Gun, that it wasn’t Xhaka taken off.

It is, I thought ceballos was having a good game and unlucky to get removed

We’re missing a player with a bit of vision unfortunately. Just haven’t got that player that can slide someone in

He had had a good game, I just thought he’d faded slightly though.

I like listening to the shouts from the bench. What a bunch of moaning old women complaining about everything :laughing7:

I felt Ceballos played well. But in my view it’s obvious that Arteta pretty much loves Xhaka.

We may have to write Pépé off as a bust in a year maybe.

At least we weren’t dominated, although pretty turgid stuff, not insipid like when we looked like relegation candidates. Looks like that’s well and truly behind us thank God. Got to get clicking better than this though.

Ceballos was my personal MOTM.

He’s good enough that I don’t feel terrible about that though. I think.

Xhaka showed tonight just why he is rated by Arteta and previously by Emery and Wenger. He is excellent defensively when asked to fill in and he is always looking for the forward pass. Holding deserves his contract and AMN is not up to it.

Not a good thing if the attack falters because the left back is missing.

Pretty average performance. At least we didn’t lose it because Palace had the better chances.

Xhaka is always looking for the forward pass???? The man is programmed to turn to his right and play a sideways ball with his left foot.
