Everton (H). Saturday 5.30pm. BT.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

BUT. The Ramsey and Xhaka midfield is shit, btw. Everton are poor and it's masking the fact we still don't have a utility midfield that can attack and defend in equal measure. Sure, the door is wide open today so we don't need to defend. But on the odd occasion where we needed to be tight the midfield was missing.

This. Our defence has essentially been our only line of defence in this match. We've got away with it so far because Everton are shit but a better team will exploit it for sure.

Against Spurs I'd play Elneny and Ramsay together and tell Ramsay to sit and stay in the middle.

HT 4-0

Was all about Aubameyang going in, and all about Mkhitaryan coming out. You have to wonder about Maureen and his ability to get the best out of a player, or even leave the player alone to just play. Auba looks great, no worries there at all. But Miki has given us an alternative to Ozil, which is absolutely vital. The opposition now has 2 men to mark out of the game and that's not possible.

Spot on.

Imagine Gilberto there instead of Xhaka.

Only six goals further will do.

Monreal off injured, Kolasinac on.

Keane off, Davies on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal.

[Globalgunner]

Kola on. so Monreal got hooked. Was holding his hamstring earlier.

Just in case things go south in this second half, I have taken my anaesthetic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mustafi booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Theo shot, blocked.

What Wenger does in this half will tell us everything about the rest of the season. If, even now, he tries to play it safe the damn, nothing will ever change him. Does he get that football is about more than just the points?

Niasse hits the post.
