    Even though we were expected to win and west brom played a youthful side, I must say that second half was nice to watch. Feels like a long time since we dominated like that

    We have AFC Wimbledon at home in the 3rd round. Can't complain with that.

    Tactically we were ALOT more offensive - I wonder if Arteta is going to take the reigns off a bit now.

    I was thinking watching Aubas goals - most of his 80 odd goals for Arsenal have come running on to balls in the box. It makes ALOT more sense to play him down the middle in fact Arteta should be adjusting things tactically to get the most out of Auba.

    Thought Saka and Odengaard were both excellent.

    Although I agree about the attacking side of things, let's be honest - we were playing against what was essentially West Brom's U23s. Their manager even said pre-game that this fixture wasn't a priority for him, and we were desperate for a win. Half of West Brom's team were making their senior team debuts. It would have been embarrassing had we not won comfortably with the side we fielded.
