The way he placed that after it was coming at him at pace :cloud9:

Zinchenko is a liability.

He’ll be gone in the next window. Can’t live in a world with Timber, Kiwior, Tomi & Zinchenko all vying for LB ?

Time for some changes. We have no real control at the moment

There you go. I fancied another Gabriel though. Still time.

No. It does feel good to have a SQUAD though.

Got better with the second round of subs. Pretty comfy.

I wonder if M is enjoying all this. Hope so.

The captain looked fagged out.

Yeah, he did. Bit worrying. He puts an awful lot of work in.

Smith Rowe played very nicely. Really good player.

Yep. Very tidy indeed and great hustle for the first goal.

Absolute cruise, never needed to get out of 2nd gear. ESR was, as you say, very tidy. Nelson & Eddie will be off in the summer, didn't see anything from either that convinces me they're good enough.

Could have really improved our GD, they were there for the taking but I suppose the positive is we didn't expel much effort.

Nelson was taking up some rather unusual positions last night. I am not really sure what he was supposed to be doing.

I think he is a decent player but possibly not ideal for our structure.

Everyone knows this.

Last night, as against most teams when Zinny plays - Kick Off. Long ball into Zinny's position hoping that he ****s it up.

Was a walk in the park.

Thought ESR was a little 'out of touch' for the first 15 mins. Adapted into the game really well after that.

Eddie. Not exactly pushing his price up...

Heard on the radio today that Luton didn't score in a match for the first time in ages... who knew?

Last night we looked a lot more comfortable when Tomiyasu came on.

I get what Zinchenko offers but you pay a high price for it. Every time Raya played the ball to him on the edge of the box I was squirming- he is the last guy you want on the ball in that position.

I looked at our record since the new year and we have conceded 4 goals in ten league games- the silly late goal at Forest, the Newcastle consolation goal and the idiotic mistakes against Liverpool and Brentford. We are our own worst enemy in defensive areas.

There were a few times last night that he decided to take the attackers on and run past them, when playing out from the edge of the area. Real 'watching through fingers' stuff. He pulled it off each time iirc, tbf.

I don't think you can really criticise our defensive record - well you can, of course.

Well, I wasn't. I think what I was trying to say is that we are outstanding at controlling the opponents in our last third. The only real threat comes from our own silliness.

In the last two games Raya has had one save to make in each. It is no exaggeration to say that I would have made both those saves comfortably. I can't remember too many he has had to make in games before that.

I know - but I couldn't resist. You make a fair point

There are still plenty of things to complain about, obviously :-)

And if you think I am bad, I guarantee Arteta is a lot worse. I bet nothing is ever good enough for him. And quite right too :-)
