Looks to me like Emile Smith Rowe needs a rest, he looks shattered.

He’s not being helped by having to chase misplaced passes.

Don't like the tactic of the centrebacks driving into midfield. That naturally causes the two central midfielders to funnel in behind to cover. Also, it makes it harder for Smith-Rowe as passing channels to him are cut-off.

Leeds always leave gaps at the back so early direct passing is the way to play them.

They are easy targets the Elneny, Cédric and Kolasinac are the weakest links here.
I found it so frustrating how 3 of Leeds most dangerous moments came from our corners where they were allowed to pick the 2nd ball up on their own box and break. Twice with an almost identical move sending James away. We don’t have that man on the edge of our box to pick things up and we don’t have him there for attacking set pieces. I’d be amazed if that exact position isn’t one of the most common places for a ball to drop from a corner.

Feels like if we brought on Tavares, Partey and Lacazette and we’d win this

Somebody has to do something. If you are waiting for elneny and soares to play a killer pass you will be waiting a long time.

I think Maitland-Niles has had a decent game.

Of course, baldie Bouldy. I was thinking way back, Terry Mancini.

Very little but I agree Cygan is a better shout.

I put him in the list of various players who have shaved their heads, without being genuine baldies. As far as we know.

Holding looked like cramp/seizing up which makes sense having not played for a while. White walked off well enough but looked really dejected. Have to wait and see, but am also worrying about that.

Can't believe you're letting Wiltord getting away with that.

Enjoyed Lacazette roughing up and robbing the ball from Phillips there. Phillips has been putting in a few naughty tackles so it was about time someone gave him some back

Long sleeves should be mandatory. Proper Arsenal.

This is a really good win. Leeds are not quite themselves, but they're never easy to play and we've dealt with their press really well tonight. They're playing most of their best players too. A lot of good performances for us, squad players showing they want to play more which is exactly what you want to see.

I’ll second that. Remarkably and pleasantly straightforward.

That shirt is ridiculous. A strong breeze would have him sailing out of Highbury.
