Happy to win and keep a clean sheet but this was easily the weakest performance by any of the top 6 so far. If it had been any of the other guys, Newcastle would have taken a real hiding.

The main positive from this game was Wilock's performance, I think he is good and earnest enough to make a contribution this season. Nelson was average and I'm not sure he is ready yet, however I did like all the deadball situations he was involved in, he's far better than Xhaka in delivery.

Chambers did ok, but he seemed too eager to clear or lash out and everything and was clearly unsure of himself. Guendozi had a generally good game. AMN's assist was great and going forward he his just as good as Bellerin, but honestly in a top game, he will be found out defensively and be as calamitous as Mustafi.

The most worrying thing was that only one player looked like scoring all through the game..... and it seems this is what our season is going to be- heavily reliant on Laca and Auba goals, which obviously is not a good thing for a supposed top team.
