I'd say this half has been the most attractive half of football we've played this season, probably mainly due to Madueke's fresh attitude.
Also, even before Zubimendi scored, I felt he was enjoying his football and coming into his own with some noticeable contributions in the final third.
In fact that's the only positive of Merino starting, Zubi feels more at ease to move forward which might be a good thing if Odegaard will be out for a while.
We're still not utilising our striker properly nor are we giving the ball to Eze.
So basically, it's been a good performance so far but all the problems are still quite glaring.
Oh and Nwaneri is playing pretty maturely at the moment, hope he gets his complementary goal which will hopefully force the manager to use him more.
