Yeah, don’t understand the in match criticisms. He’s not slow, his passes are perfectly thought and he can pass in lanes which I haven’t seen any of our midfielders ever doing.
I have to say the midfield looks good because Ox is playing defensively really good which is rare. Our midfield struggles when even one of the three aren’t on their game. Not today.
jota needs to show up this half
He’s been our worst player the first half
Dont want to see us taken our foot off the pedal. No repeat of past performances.
Who’s been our best player?
… and why?
Yeah, run a bit and pass more. 1-2s will irritate the arsenal midfield a lot!
Good game this. We are below our imperious best, but decent enough. Arsenal are on the up, so are putting up a fight. It makes for a spectacle.
Nice Mane header. Hope we build on it second half.
The Klopp Arteta thing… love it. In a way Arteta grew on me, as it was a young manager fighting his corner against a world class figure. All piss and vinegar really, and nothing to see, but it upped the temperature and we piled on a few chances and scored.
Arteta has done well for us, he really fired our players up.
Arteta by a mile.. need him on the sidelines every game
true, we so miss Bobby’s game intelligence
His runs and passes are ooh lah lah today.
Mane. Despite a couple of off passes, he’s provided a crucial outlet under pressure and is pressing the hardest. And he has scored
Jack Wilshere talking with the same amount of energy he plays with these days.
What a find.
He misses his wheelchair 
Outside of this game, we need someone who is 3/4 of Thiago is. I’m not sure if Jones and Elliot can do that job!
Great by Virg
T’was a very good header from Mane, hope the lads keep the pressure and get a couple more
Diogo again!! Had a chance to take a touch but just gave it away
Chamberlain has been switched on today
Second goal early here please lads. Knock any remaining fight out of them and let Arteta do all their heads in on the side for half hour.
