    Rosicky having a good game so far. Poor challenge from Vermaelen - he must be careful now. Theo looks sharp too. Going to be a long game!

    If Theo had passed to his left, not only would it have been a goal but a sublime team goal at that. Great movement from Theo though.

    How good is Gnabry though? He's going to be a beast.

    Great play from Gnabry to tee up Santi.
    The only way is up.

    How much attacking midfield talent can one country have??

    Reus--------------Ozil-------------Podolski

    Muller------------Kroos------------Schurrle

    Gnabry-----------Goetze-----------Draxler

    Any three of those nine would be better than an England attacking three.

    Very good first half by us, should have scored at least 3. I'd like to us become more defensively tight, some of Spurs' counter attacks have been too dangerous. And Serge Gnarby, what a beast he is.

    We are looking pretty good considering we are missing:
    Mertesacker
    Gibbs
    Giroud
    Flamini
    Podolski
    Ramsey and Ozil!


    Gnabry is a quality young player. Not only is he quick and technical, he is also built like a tank.

    We are schooling them so far and should have 3 or 4.

    That's what's really going for him, his body strength. You find a lot of very gifted talented young players, but their achilles heal is always their body strength, as they're still young and developing, it often holds them back, but Gnarby has that physical strength, so his full technical quality can come out.

    Good half overall. Great finish by Santi. Rosicky playing well, Theo looks good and is moving lots. Defense looks solid - Arteta is covering well too, and Monreal seems to be coping with Lennon on the left.

    Dembele could have been sent off for trying to headbutt Wilshere. Good job Jack for not making a meal of it, though it would have been lovely for them to be down to 10 men! It was small, but if you stick your head deliberately towards an opponents face like that it's a red card.

    Overall, happy with the half. Very happy with Gnabry, he looks like a good'un, and could even break into the team next year properly when he's a bit bigger and stronger.

    Looking for a good second half and to close it out :)

    Gnabry playing really well and love seeing him linking up with Walcott. With Santi on the other side it's looking like a really good attacking set up.
