This is not a Jorgi type game

Saka, Smith-Rowe and Tierney. Too much pace and movement. Jorgi can't get near them. Saka in particular giving him a really hard time.

That would have been given last season. 

James is back to being sloppy when beaten by pace

Taylor would  give pen and yellow card for that

Arsenal plays like a top 10 team, just waits for some gimmick chance to come up by accident...

Like I said earlier in the thread, James has been good going forward, but slow defensively. Reminds me of when he first broke into the team and probably why Tuchel often puts Azpi there and James at CB.

Our fans can be a disgrace.  Booing Saka everytime he touches the ball. Absolute f**kwits.

I feel like Jorginho should come off second half for Kante. 

Got to be careful about pressing up top. A couple of times Lukaku and now Mount have been a bit lazy and Arsenal have played the ball back to front and nearly made a chance.

 

Anyone else feeling like Azpi seems to be on heavy legs? Not sure why, just doesn't seem 100% comfortable like he usually does.

Won’t be surprised if Tuchel hooks one of Azpi/James & brings on Trev in the 2nd half. We are constantly getting exposed out there.

The best Arsenal can do is to get a corner, never a real chance. 

Completely off the ground, zero control. 

That's a red card.

They shouldn't cheer him but when he's the centre stage at the subject of racism and with our fanbase having one of the worst reputations, its not exactly effing smart and once again brings down the feel good factor around the club.

Definitely need Werners pace on the left hand, its such a great out ball and will constantly keep arsenals RHS on red alert??

I think we'll see Kante to secure things after 60 mins.  I guarantee you it'll be for Kovacic though. That will also mean Jorginho switches sides. 

Again I'll note that he isn't being helped by a lazy press up front. Lukaku is expected but Mount has been unusually passive.

Tough one as James is miles better going forward. Guess we give Reece the benefit of the doubt on his defensive work. It's his first game in a while. 

Arsenal fans booing their own now!

That can happen when he is defending two positions. He's not getting any help from James right now.

Werner Chalobah and Kante second half will see this mob off comfortably 

Impressive. They came after us when it went to 2-0 but we're a solid unit now (and European Champions!)

Are they using racist abuse? No, then it’s more you reading more into this than anything real here.

Reece is just eager to stay higher up the pitch, after being rewarded so much for doing so. Tuchel will tell him to drop back a bit
