I don't think Emery will be happy with this so far, although we're not doing too bad.

We’re second best here. They’re picking us off in our third, need to sharpen up.

They are going to score eventually. I’d be blown away given how we’ve conceded some soft goals this season if we suddenly kept out both Man City and Arsenal in the space of a week

Loving the score, but they’re comfortably outplaying us at the moment. Time for an Unai rocket at half time

Maybe Ramsey on at HT but who do you take off?

Yeh. Diaby is going to come on in the second half. He’s not been moving well for a bit and has been such an effective outlet for us.

I'm not sure I agree with the idea they're outplaying us, we've scored and had the best 'other' chance on top with the Watkins one a few minutes ago.

I don't think there's been much in it overall.

Bailey's gone off the boil since he went down holding his leg. Might see Diaby in the second half.

We need to test Raya more. He’s a liability

Glad it’s half time. We need a rethink because if it continues like that they’ll score.

Some restbite. This is what's called a precious one goal lead.

Only one shot on target. Are we Man City in disguise?
