We are missing Dougie on the ball. I'd have Trez on for Barkley but it won't happen. Just too loose out of possession. Good energy from everybody else though.

Emi back to his best

Giving the ball back to them. We look like we are in a rush to get it out from the keeper, but that time everyone was back apart from Barkley

[The Edge]

I know I'm in the minority but when I watch Barkley I see a quality player who helps to knit things together when we're on top. Bit of a luxury player when we're not but overall I think he's been massively important in our improvement this season.

All true, though Barkley has shown very tidy touches in advanced areas.

should be 2 0

[Proposition Joe]

Letting Arse have so much of the ball is dangerous. Like the velociraptors charging the fence, eventually they'll find  weak spot and exploit it.

Welcome back Martinez !!!

Great save Emi.

[Chris_Jephcott]

Should be 2-0

[PaulWinch again]

Bert you have to score.

[Edvard Remberg]

Emi's save looked so effortless,  floating

[Risso]

Aaarrgh Bert you can't chip the keeper from there.

Ref got it right - no way was it a red
