The more games Sanchez performs in, the higher his bargaining power becomes. They better wrap up the contract ASAP.
Koeman has told them to be 'aggressive' apparently. The ref needs to keep an eye on this one as a few of their players are already trying to kick lumps out of our players. Hopefully the ****s will wear themselves out with their huffing and puffing and we can pick them off in the 2nd half.
McCarthy and Barkley in particular seem to not know the difference between an aggressive tackle and just kicking the opposition. Hopefully the ref keeps on top of it. I can see them getting a few more cards in the second half.
Oxocube has been a bit anonymous this half, he needs to get involved more otherwise I think he'll be the first of our players to make way.
He's right though. Long balls into the box, keep it aggressive, hit us on the break - these are the keys to beating Arsene's sides.
I would like to see Iwobi on. Giroud might also be a good option if we cant keep the ball on the ground. Least he would give us some aerial ability and might help defensively
On a different note Xhaka is playing the Cazorla role really well since he has come into the team. He has that more physical side to his game but is also the main link between our defensive and offensive players.
Why do we always HAVE to wait until after 60mins to make a substitution? Chamberlain has been invisible.
Need to get our passing game back,been poor by our standards.This game is here for the taking if they really want it.
