Didn’t see it. Sounds like I missed another classic...

We’re on a roll, superb wins over Bournemouth, Chelsea and West Brom. It’s on!

Elneny, Monreal, Kola, and Lacazette had good games. Alexis needs to cut out the over dribbling. Ramsey was decent.

Xhaka just looks lost out there, he always seems to be a step behind. Whenever the tempo of the game picks up. He just gets looks off the pace.

[Power n Glory]

A dodgy performance and probably should have been two goals in the first half with a penalty awarded to them. We looked so stretched in the first half. The defenders were playing so wide apart with Kos and Monreal practically taking up wingback positions. Our CM's weren't much better. Elneny pushing up field too early and Xhaka not being able to find the right pass or space. We were lucky not to concede early because we were reckless in possession. With Elneny pushing so far forward early, my guess is that he's been instructed to play that in order to give Xhaka more space. Elneny never usually plays that way so it was unusual to see. But whatever the case, Xhaka can't control the midfield. Seen plenty online say we're playing him wrong and he needs to be able to sit deep and spread play but he's been given that freedom a day still looks shocking. We looks worse in fact. His passing percentages are worse this season.

Overall, not a great performance but much better in the second half. We had more control of the game and got much tighter. Good to Lacazette on the score sheet. Besides the goals, he's showing his quality. Work rate and some nice touches, flicks and a cheeky nutmeg. Need to get him involved more. Totally different performance to Chelsea and it seems like we can't defend well and attack. It's like we have two modes when approaching games. The organisation went right out of the window last night.
