Willock and AMN are going backwards.

Pepe, of course. Very happy for him, shown glimpses but hasn't gone his way so far, hopefully this is the start.

BUT GUENDOUZI, he is one of the best midfielders in the world in the last 20 when your team is behind. TOP QUALITY.

And lots of negatives. But whatever, someone else will cover that.

 

[tap-in]

All about Pepe that game. He needed that. Let's see that carry into the PL now.

I thought Smith-Rowe had a good game, Guendouzi also looked good when he came on. Midfield is still a massive issue even when Xhaka is removed but those 2 did well for me. Willock still a contender but just not playing at full conviction last couple games. Moving the ball through midfield was a big issue.

Martinelli did good but tired at the end. The CBs were also OK. Bellerin lacked fitness, Tierney finished the game quietly strong after a slightly relaxed start. The real poor players for me were AMN, Torreira, Ceballos and Lacazette. Wasnt happy with their contributions overall.

Our midfield is definitely a problem, even Willock who is normally trustworthy was sloppy at times. Torreira & AMN were dreadful!

 

[HBL]

All of it I figure.

Maybe lol, some of the players need to take more blame though

 

[Trilly]

Why so violent these days? Are you coming down after months of MDMA weekends abuse?

El Bumo is ruining my life. Sorry I didn’t mean it.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

You can understand why emery not rushing Tierney Bellerin Holding start in PL Tierney and Bellerin look gassed after 70 minutes added nothing going forward defensively look shaky

Sweeeeet Carolineeee oh oh ohhhh

 

[yorch44]

Meeeeh... not even happy watching us play that bad. Good for Pepe but best thing could happen for him is Emery leaves today

El Bumo is ruining my life. Sorry I didn’t mean it.

Its alright. I have seen it worse on here. There was basically a person on here who wished me to go and kill my self in the summer.

 

[bingobob]

Just seen the late late winner. In a results business it's a result for Emery.

 

[MutableEarth]

Again there is big problem in midfield its not because Özil not playing but the players seem not understanding what they doing defensively and offensively getting bypassed easily too many bad first touches too many bad decision in final 3rd

They are so static, in transition; in possession; and in defensive phase. Emery has no idea how to construct one.

The way our attacks are structured is completely off kilter and stuttered. There were some bad individual performances out there but the system still handicapped them.

I'm patient enough to not be rabid but I dont think Emery should be our manager anymore. I'm quite certain of that viewpoint now.

 

[HBL]

Guendouzi is comfortably our best midfielder currently

Yeah exactly, Unai army on the match..

Let’s go...

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

If i see Torreira again play number 10 I'll do nothing but i'll be so mad. The guy is not 10 what emery trying to achieve with this? What the point you got Dani Ceballos ffs

 

[Iceman10]

You can understand why emery not rushing Tierney Bellerin Holding start in PL Tierney and Bellerin look gassed after 70 minutes added nothing going forward defensively look shaky

It doesn't make sense though, Tierney played a full match well before the international break, against arguably stronger opposition. Maybe they lost fitness over the international break, but I also think there was a bit of complacency, where the defensive end was neglected somewhat.

 

[Mo Britain]

Never in doubt really. Now the debate about how **** Pepe is might shift to another victim.

Qualification done and dusted. Group will be won in the next game.

Kudos to Vitoria Guimaraes who put on a decent show and a brave performance. Laca needs acting classes.

 

[rich 1990]

Laca has an account.

 

[Highbury_2006]

Mustafi was our best defender tonight.
