    Impressed with our pressing from midfield and attack. We've been first to every ball. This is what I want to see more of.

    Iwobi should have made that 2-0, how did he miss?!

    @cini65: I see what you mean about Jakupovic. He just celebrated Iwobi's (or Ozil's, I couldn't see properly) miss like he saved a penalty in the Champions League. What an absolute ****er.

    Stupid yellow for Cazorla to pick up. Elmohamady wasn't going anywhere, no need to foul him.

    ****ing hell Walcott <doh>. That's the third time a promising attack has broken down because of his weak passing.

    Penalty and red card. Livermore clearly uses his hand to stop the ball from hitting the net because Jakupovic wasn't saving that.

    And Sanchez misses it <doh>. Why was Sanchez taking it?

    Jakupovic has made another save FFS. This guy really is a tosser, can we just crush them so he can wipe that arrogant, smarmy look off his face?

    HT. 0-1. Deserved lead, but I'm annoyed that we haven't made our dominance count. We've had a number of good chances, Iwobi being a key culprit of missing a few.

    But I'm still seething with that penalty miss because that was a ****ing dreadful penalty from Sanchez. Cazorla is our no. 1 penalty taker, so why the hell is he taking it?

    We can't get complacent and see the game out at 1-0. At the very least, get the second goal, then see the game out. But we have to start the second half on the front foot. Hull haven't offered much going forward, but you never know.

    Cazorla's walking a fine line, as well. He might get sent off if he makes one more reckless challenge.

    This game would have been put to bed if that pen had gone in. Typical Arsenal though - why wasn't Santi taking it?

    But we've still had a good few chances to score another, so I'd imagine we should have some more as Hull tire in the second half.

    Agree about Santi, and Coq come to think about it - they both need to calm down and trust their positioning and colleagues rather than making rash challenges.

    I was just going to say the same. It's crazy we have players like Elneny and Xhaka on the bench and we are playing against 10 men but are risking a sending off by keeping Santi on!

    How come were the only side whose new signings 'are not ready' yet?

    He was fortunate to not be sent off a few moments ago. Anything he does now is going to be scrutinised.

    I know, and we were the only club that's Euro 2016 finalist/semi-finalist players weren't ready for the start of the season as well...

    Lovely backheel from Iwobi for Walcott's goal <applause>.
    Absolute class.

    Fair play, Theo is looking a lot more dangerous than he was last season
