We are mustard at quick passing going forward today.
But we are shit coming out from the back now Mustafi is on. He only has two passes - leno or luiz.

He is rapidly becoming a liability in situations like that, this is exactly the sort of thing Arteta needs to clamp down on

Guendouzi is a brainless gorm.

He’s been brought in today with the chance to make the position he’s own and he’s plodding about fouling everyone in sight.
He’s nailed on to see a second yellow in this game.

Dare I say we’ve looked a good side in this first half.
Torreira looking like a terrier again too. Deserve to go in at half time in the lead.

Our transition speed is so much better today, we seem to step up a gear as soon as an opening appears, we really need the second goal though

I'm also not averse to them just booting the ball to fuck up the field if nothing immediate is available.

We seem to be all in short sleeves today. Nice to see that back.

Totally. Thats old fashioned defending
That interception there on the six yard box was Auba
Fairplay to them, theyve put a shift in this half. Going forward weve looked okay and fought for it in midfield.
Mustafi still looks like a car crash waiting to happen.

Good first half. Shame it’s only 1 as can’t see us keeping a clean sheet.
They must have at least 3 players booked so hopefully we can keep up the same tempo second half

Has to be said that ozil is killing them today - even when he doesn't touch the ball (that stepover) the chavs have no answer to him
Torreira has in my opinion, just edged out ozil as the best player on the pitch in the first half - his positioning, his warrior tackling, and his use of the ball (
) has been outstanding
Laca's head is down too much and it shouldn't be - he has worked his nuts off for the team and has linked well with auba
Luiz was stupid with that follow through
