    We need to find a way of scoring soon, because if we continue in this manner at the back it’s just a matter of time before they score against the run of play/possession.

    Yeah I noticed that too. Does he need to change his boots?

    Don’t understand what solanke’s done wrong there to be honest.

    Solanke going in on Raya, I like that. Will give him something to think about.

    No matter.
    Forwards should still let the GK know they are there.

    They need to go direct now and then. Maddison, Bentancur and Kulu slow the ball down far too often imo.

    I'm pretty sure I said it already this season, but that is the paradox of our squad: so many metrics say that Kulusevski is clearly the better player, but Johnson is the better fit for our system because he's more direct

    Curious to see where Bergvall falls in with this over the coming months

    If we don't speed things up soon there will be moss growing on the ball <laugh>

    Udogie has to shoot there! <doh>

    that’s our first shot. And it was off target.

    so far Arsenal have had 5, with 3 on target.

    all this possession will mean nothing if we don’t start producing something of note in the final 3rd

    Arsenal are so much better defensively. They really do defend as a team.

    But anywhere else on the pitch that is a foul on Johnson. <doh>

    Need to be careful now. Soft yellow for Bentancur, and udogie’s also likely to be targeted by Saka now he’s on a yellow too.

    Vicario at corners is a liability

    Vicario is so weak...good shot stopper but doesn't instill any confidence
