Out for the morning walk and not far from home when mum and baby saw me watching them.

Right now I'd take a scoring draw. Deep down I think we can win.

Don’t know if anyone has seen an initiative Roma started 2 transfer windows ago? Every time they announce a new signing they post a picture of a missing child/person with equal weighting to the signing. It has had some success as some of these kids have been found.

They are urging other clubs to pick up on this. When you think of the clicks or views a new signing for a big club has it is a great opportunity to do something like this. Would be great if Arsenal did this as well.

Brilliant to see Jose in full Jose mode. Trying to create a ‘poor us, poor me’ excuse. He’s talking about going to a gun fight without bullets because of his ‘crippling’ injury crisis, which really amounts to Son and Kane as far as I can see. Important players, but only 2 players in a squad of 25. Let’s also remember Leipzig we’re without their two first choice CB last night!
Pochettino spent a long time slowly removing the inferiority complex for spurs, he got them to a position where they played with confidence and zero respect for whoever they played, believing they can get a result against anyone. In a few months Jose has wiped most of that away and bought in the underdog mentality, how can little spurs be expected to compete against the big teams in the prem and the big teams in Europe. So glad we didn’t go near this guy for our manager

I’ve been quite impressed so far. Olympiakos were always going to come flying out of the blocks. We survived that and have gradually exerted control. Just need to build on that.

I'm watching a stop start stream so I've resorted to Talksport 2. Goalless is ok at this stage, strongly fancy us to do them at home.

Could have easily been two nil down in the first five minutes , our passing going forward is fairly woeful , Guendouzi getting a bit of a buffeting .Luiz nearly scored for them , Lacazette should really have scored for us .

Saka doing the clever stuff ; f**&&^%# up the easy stuff .

Needs a goal either way to lift the game . Arteta half time inspirational chat and we win 1 - 0

Can’t help think that playing the 2 strikers together away from home doesn’t make sense.

A game crying out for Pépé and Martinelli hasn’t been great

Er. Not quite going to plan so far after the break. Sloppy.

Great stop by Leno (even if Ba was given offside).

More sloppy stuff preceded it though. Plus the unnecessary yellow

Aubameyang is having an absolute shocker . We can't hold the ball for more than five seconds .

Yes. That’ll do nicely.

Super skills by Aubameyang and Saka.

And almost another (twice) from the corner. Mustafi looks in trouble though.

Excellent result away in Europe. Looked solid for the most part. Certainly effective.

Hard to get excited about that match , if you are one who is buoyed soley by results alone then it was indeed excellent ; the entertainment levels along the way though were pretty dire .

My expectations have been managed downwards over a long period.

I’m just pleased right now that we no longer look like a joke team giving away daft comedy goals on a regular basis. It looks like a move in the right direction.

Excellent result away from home in a tough place to go. Olympiacos may be no great shakes but away from home with the long travel and a passionate home crowd I think most teams would happily take that result back home in the first leg.

The goal was brilliant. Aubameyang doing so well to keep it in and under control, Saka still bombing on in support and an inch perfect ball across for Lacazette.

We have been raving about Martinelli as an amazing find for a £6m 18 year old signing, but Saka is right up there. Tie him down to that contract.

That's it. Not a particularly good performance but Arteta has cut out the "shooting ourselves in the foot" performances. Long way to go but we look like an organised team at last.

I’d be fascinated to see how Saka handled a game in the number 10 position, he has speed, weight of pass and goals. The best academy player since Ashley Cole surely

He’s up there, although I’d say at the same point in their careers Jack Wilshere looked like he had the world at his feet in a very difficult position for young players to break through. That first season as an 18 year old (I think) was unbelievable. Injuries did for him. Very excited about Saka though. For me the most impressive part is how he’s taken so naturally to playing left back - it is just unheard of even in very senior players to do it this well. I posted a while back about it being too early for him to go to the Euros but take age out of it you have Chilwell who has done very well for Lecoester and has the position for England but who else is playing left back better than Saka? Shaw? Rose? Bertrand? Nope

I think Saka is possibly our biggest prospect.

Martinelli has done well but I think at this point the hype has gone too far. Comparisons with the likes of Brazilian Ronaldo and Juve's Ronaldo are a step too far at the moment.
