    3. Raya - superb, apart from that moment of madness
    4. Vicario is shockingly weak at set pieces
    5. Odegaard was poor
    6. I do wish we'd try Martinelli through the middle. Twice Havertz was through but not quick enough
    Not enough said about Saka's first touch for his goal - a thing of absolute beauty

    It was indeed, Davies was in real trouble from that moment onwards.

    On another occasion he took down a long clearance with Davies right up his back. He had absolutely no 'give' in the foot to cushion the ball. I watched it a few times and I cannot work out how he manages to control the ball perfectly. It just doesn't make any sense.

    Wonderful ball from Havertz.

    Whilst all pros have a got a great first touch. Few have exquisite ones.

    Bergkamp and Berbatov immediately spring to mind.

    Martinelli does as well. I love watching him bring down cross field passes.

    Bergkamp is in a different league when it comes to technique.

    Indeed.

    Berbatov impressed me immensely - when he played for Monaco when they dicked us at home.

    He then went and signed for Fulham, of all teams. Worng way around...
    He played for Spurs and United. I am afraid I am too blinded by hatred to pass any fair or balanced comment

    Although strangely, I always thought Sheringham was a better player than people gave him credit for

    Well there is that.

    Sheringham is a cvnt. I certainly cannot see past that...

    He used to score lots of goals, at B04.
    "Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

    "But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."
