Not to scapegoat him but there really is no reason why Coquelin should start ahead of Xhaka. We really are missing the latter's dynamism whereas the former is pretty much wasted and pointless in a game like this.
Abysmal start but we did managed to turn things around mainly due to Santi becoming more influential. Theo's had his moment but apart from that no one else in attack has done anything and it took Kos to level it up for us.Quote:

Oh well, we've got a deep bench to call on if need be.
Awful. Like watching the moisture drain from a freshly laid turd.
HT 1-1
More coma inducing anti-football.
Mustafi looks like a bog standard CB, nothing special about this guy on first looks. Not bad, not good. Very ordinary. And not really tested so far.
Can't make much of a judgement on Peres. He's totally isolated, 30 yards from the main action which is in the centre circle - tip, tap, sideways, backwards, repeat.
Wenger frustrated until Kos bailed his stupid arse out. He went from blaming the players to blaming the ref, his usual arms flapping routine on the sideline. He seems to forget, his team, his system, his boreball. A man who demands total control but accepts no responsibility.
Santi very good though. He's so important to the team that Wenger can't drop him for his constant transgressions, such as passing the ball forward, trying to up the tempo, injecting pace. Well done Santi.
Ozil doesn't fancy it today. Asleep.
Do you see now?Quote:

Harsh on Mustafi NQ. It's literally his first game and as you say he's not really been tested so far. Not sure what you're expecting from him today ...... to make a mazy 30 yard run and belt one in the bottom corner like Vermelean.
It'll be the tough away games against the top teams where you'll really see Mustafi's quality come through imo.
Come on Arsenal. :bow:
Shane Long coming on. :sick:
Rodriguez off, Long on.
Well I hope so, but you can tell though, can't you? Top players stand out. He looks okay, very ordinary. His passes are directed into the vicinity of his target. His coverage is... ordinary. His distribution, it has ranged from ordinary to extremely poor.Quote:

Long will boss us in the box. Unfortunate to see him coming on. Then again, maybe Mustafi will show what he can do now?
FFS Ox.
Ox. :haha:
He's been watching Wazza.Quote:

Is it my dodgy stream or can you hear a pin drop inside the ground?
Kos is amazing. Snuffed out that danger before it could grow.
Our third best player imo.
I like Kos but he does have the occasional howlers.
It's respect. They don't want to wake the team up.Quote:

Good reffing!
Forster has been timewasting for ages!
Ox keeps fluffing his lines. Come on boy, you are better than that.
Terrible touch from Özil.
Damn it Ozil! A better first touch and that could have been that!
After seeing how much he's regressed I'm not sure he is anymore.Quote:

What a move!
Not sure Mesut really wants to be here any more. He's doing the absolute minimum. Shame we let Campbell go - he always wanted to play. Maybe bring Iwobi on, he's keen too.
Which means we'll see Gibbs and Bif I suppose. On 72 mins.
Santi is class.
If anything it's been Theo who's done well this season knowing that it could be his last chance.Quote:
