Match Reaction v Chelsea (away)

[Master Splinter]

Dont know why we arent playing Ceballos in place of the fraud..

Ceballos was just as poor as Ozil under Emery, but you'd think it would be a clean slate now. For some reason, Arteta doesn't seem to rate Ceballos, Holding, Guendouzi or Willock. It has to be the only explanation for why they're barely playing while others continue to pub it up.

I can see why Smith Rowe was loaned out, but he was another like Saka who nearly always played well when he was given a chance. I can say with complete confidence that he would be an infinitely better option than Ozil. Even if he had got injured again.

Martinelli must be making an impression on Fleet Street

Liew is a Spuds supporter I believe.

Well that explains why he looks like a c**t.

[Bumble]

wonder how long before Real or barca come sniffing around Martinelli.

Reports saying Madrid already are and we're looking at trebling his wages.

Hopefully that's just professional newspapers at work again, with their made-up from thin air talents. Quickest way to derail the kid is to turn him into a hype-star with all the trimmings.

[Marc Overmars]

Unfortunately that’s what we will have to do if we want to keep him long term.

[Mac76]

As far as it goes he did brilliantly with the goal on Tuesday but the real test would have been if Kante hadn't slipped - would Martinellii have got past him?

What if Stevie Me hadn't slipped over?

Just seems a weird thing to bring up.

Players make mistakes when they have someone running at them with speed.
