Beautiful shinner.

[Villa in Denmark]

El Ghazi dropped a bollock there. Had the Arse wide open then.

Good start

On this stream that I have - there is an awesome interview with Dean Smith ..... Not sure if it is available elsewhere.

Watching that too, very interesting.

I'm watching in Japanese, are you on hesgoal? I am.

I think it's Korean but could be wong.

They all look the same to me.  , only joking.

Thanks for that. Wouldn’t feigning a face injury be more a sending off than a yellow . Oh I dunno and promise to stop moaning about VAR

Xhaka off.

Saka no Xhaka.

[PaulWinch again]

Get a second Villa.

[PeterWithesShin]

Saka off for Chambers for Arsenal

[SoccerHQ]

Chambers on and now playing RB. He is very slow so hopefully El Ghazi stays awake for this half.

Another opening

Jack looks very poor today. Hopefully he can relax and use the space

No disagree - he has been no 2 after SJM - but his end passing has been wrong - something that can be fixed. Worked really hard - box to box

I agree, he’s passing has been great for most games so far but you can tell opposing teams fear him. I put it down to him adjusting. The guy is world class and he will show it this season I’m sure

Some of his touches have been brilliant. Some of his passes not so much but he will keep on working. Don't know why some of our fans look for negatives all the time.

Xhaka off.

Saka no Xhaka.

Yes, my mistake.  And they way he's playing, hopefully Arsenal's mistake as well.

[paul_e]

I agree, Xhaka looks like a red card waiting to happen.

Unlucky there, good ball across and AEG not far away.

Embarrassing from Trez.

[Risso]

Get up Trez.
