    Good half and we are playing well, but Gabbiadini needs more help.

    Honestly, find a Bein 2 stream. It's utterly brilliant and he's having the time of his life.

    Edit: I have no idea what he's saying, but it sounds like he's commentating on the best match in football history.

    Davis not at his best, would like to see Hojbjerg. Also, wouldn't it be nice to see what could Boufal do in the no 10 role instead of Tadić?

    We've been playing too deep, in my opinion. I know that can be as much about what the opposition are doing as it is our policy. However, when we've gone forward and pushed up as a team, Arsenal become a lot less confident. We should be exploiting that. All this counter-attacking with balls up to Gabbiadini, who is no holding front man, from the air. If you want that you need Pelle back. Push up and remain confident that Arsenal will get scared. And Gabbiadini will get his best moments with others closer to him. Apart from that, OK.

    S. Davis dispossesses Sanchez and shows he's quite the technical player. He twinkle-toed away from Alex.

    Yeah, it is annoying. He can do everything really well, except shoot.

    Oriol making three mistakes in quick succession this half that Maya would have been CRUCIFIED for!

    Steven Davis is shooting like someone who never struck a ball in his life.

    **** me, there's no reason to play like Arsenal, and try to walk the ball into the net, when you're playing Arsenal.

    Nathan is such a threat when he gets up a head of steam and runs at people.

    In a strange mix up, we're playing like Arsenal, and they're playing like us. Not creating chances, I mean.
