0-0 HT
hmm, a bit shaky and by rights we should be losing - we need to be on our game a lot more in the second half
i wonder if he subs Rice for Jorg at HT?

A bit shit but I think that was the game plan anyway. 1/4 done, long way to go.
Again I can’t say whether Arteta is being honest or not, but with Trossard, as I recall the reason given was that he picked up a knock. Maybe he’s said that to save them what could be perceived embarrassment for being pulled at half time, maybe Rice will suddenly have picked up a “knock”
And Jorginho is a decent enough player, I would have started him tonight….but on his own it’s asking a lot for a player who isn’t the quickest and has been known to be dispossessed in dangerous areas to deal with a team that’s closing us down high up the pitch.
well anyway he's not made the switch, no surprise but let's hope Rice keeps his cool a bit better in the second half
No I’m not getting him confused with anyone. It’s happened a few times in fact against Man City he did exactly the same thing Rice did tonight…he dithered and ended up getting a yellow card for a foul he wouldn’t have had to make if he’d shown a bit more alacrity of thought.
Plus it was a constant issue when he was at Chelsea. With Italy, they are far more defensive so there’s always cover.
He’s good at regulating play, and he’s a good passer of the ball. But he’s a bit Aaron Ramsey in possession at times
Trossard volleys it over from a corner.
