    He looks quite pasty and sweaty, even early on in games. Sluggish movement and questionable fitness.
    Arteta using him out wide isn't helping, but he really doesn't look right.

    He acted like a complete twat. Got in the way, cried about being told he was in the way, then acted the big man and refused a handshake.
    **** knows how he'd have taken it after you went behind. Should go back to being Pep's ballboy.

    Yep. Slightly worse, as Moura and Bergwijn were on the wrong sides, but otherwise very similar.

    Wrong players for the system. Dele in a midfield 3 doesn't work at all. Not sure how much more evidence Nuno needs to see to ditch the idea. We looked better in the second half with Skipp growing into the game and Lo Celso coming on, plus Reg began to work out that Arsenal's right flank is utter cack and got forward more often.

    We're sorely lacking Kane or similar as the focal point and that 2nd and 3rd midfield spot need some proper scrutiny. Against weaker teams i think we can get away with one of Skipp/Hojbjerg with Lo Celso and Dele either side of them. But against decent opposition - which is prob 15 out 20 PL sides - it needs solving. Ideally by selling Sissoko, Tanguy and Winks and using the combined fee for a proper deep lying conductor.

    What a ****in' arse! PEH quite within his rights to tell him to get off the touchline. And then to keep whingeing with the officials, FFS!
    Totally classless.

    Right system, wrong components

    Swap in Lo Celso for Dele and have an actual CF, the system would be a lot more fluid

    Good interview. Didn't allow the interviewer to play up the performance too much and he's after improvement in all areas.

    Very switched on!
    Seems a really good guy and will likely be popular with the media - polite & communicative - bit like Poch in that regard.

    Nuno said he expects Kane to be available on Sunday as his quarantine ends on Thursday.

    Have I missed something? I thought he was 100% ruled out of the game due to his "planned" holiday extension in Florida?
