They are well on top

[Chris_Jephcott]

Feels like this half isn't going to be as enjoyable.

We just need to weather the first 10 mins and we’ll score again

[SaddVillan]

Two big changes by Capt Black

Arteta showing his hand early.

Unai will probably have a good idea of what the changes will mean in terms of their set up, style and tactics; so I imagine he'll be relaying instructions to the team in terms of how to respond.

Hope we've got the footballing intelligence to carry out what he says.

[JUAN PABLO]

ollie needs to hold it up better

[SamTheMouse]

Fuck's sake Ollie. Everything bounces off him.

[itbrvilla]

Too easy for them

[Mister E]

Done by or own mistakes; losing the ball in midfield.

[JUAN PABLO]

onana caught in midfield

[itbrvilla]

Repeatedly going down under soft challenges.

[PeterWithesShin]

We should have sent the same 11 as we did first half
