Big result and a decent performance all round. My only gripe is can we not get someone to coach how to take effective throw ins? We give away possession a lot and seem to dither too much. You can see they are trying to find Erling more and it is only a matter of time before some of those through...

His calmness when defending in tight spaces is a joy to watch. Has really grown into a vital role for the team our Jack.

Kev once again with two unbelievable moments of quality that put the game to bed. Shout out to Jack for a lovely weighted pass for the assist - looks easy but sometimes those sort of passes are over played or under hit, Kev didn't have to change stride. Love our Kev.

Some really good stuff today - went a little unbalanced with all the subs but I thought we looked far more potent with a youthful front line that helped Erling be in the game more. He seems to have a great relationship with Jack and Phil plus Julian made some runs that gave him space to work in...

Probably not a cat in hells chance of Pep putting out this lineup but I would love to see it against a team bound to defend deep. The work from the two wide players would help stop the counter and I have no doubts Jack can make a tackle if needed, maybe it's about time we saw him in a more...

Does anyone think like me that Jack has improved both his tackling and confidence of late and that could mean him moving into a more central role? I said in the post match thread that if we went 4-3-3 with Kev, Rodri and Jack deeper and Phil, Erling and Julian up top it would be very exciting...

I don't know Father P I thought we were pretty good in Aug to Oct particularly, scoring lots and dominating games. The early rounds of the CL also showed our best side. It was at least entertaining - I do agree the biggest blot was the Brentford at home performance, a shocker for sure. I...

I'd agree with this especially about Bellingham. Since the return from the World Cup something has been slightly off. We were very good prior to the break so I don't agree with those who say this year has been a bust but several things, just very subtle things have made us far less of a threat...

I guess on one hand a 1-1 draw away in the CL is ok but boy have we become a far less dynamic team. Summed up tonight yet again with us playing rondos when leading 1-0 as Erling made his fiftieth run without getting a pass. The five passes between Gundo and Ake was a shocker - not even looking...

He would have been MOM if he had played the simple first time pass to Erling who was not, as some have said, offside. It was a really easy square pass and as he was ahead of Erling it would have been a tap in. I'm sure he'll know it more than us lot but it kind of spoiled a decent return to the...

Some lovely football played by us today until the final pass - against a team just content to defend with all behind the ball you have to take your chances. We didn't and that cost us. Three uncontested headers from six yards out should mean you get at least one goal. Plus a lot of dragged...

The way he celebrates good defending is so contagious to his teammates. A leader who now his injury issues are behind him will be key to what we can achieve. Fantastic blocks at pivotal times tonight - excellent.

Kyle like other defenders benefits so much from having Ruben as the leader at the back. It was as if some pressure was released and he can go back to doing what he is good at.

Ruben just doing Ruben things - he makes all the other defenders better. Kev goal and assist just being Kev. Erling leading the line with pace, power and a ferocity. Jack star on and off the field so pleased for him. It is all about balance of the team is key and when we put Bernie on the right...

Well done Kev - fire em up Arteta being a twat. Mahrez needs to help Walker more he's making Zinny look like Maldini.

There are not many in the world who would finish like Kev did - Sergio, Messi like. Their crowd - bunch of horrible gits - are really up for it and you could see Taylor wilting under the pressure. For me we are very weak on the right wing so I would take Mahrez off and put Bernie there - we...

How bloody fast is he? Great that he got his assist but I'm with Pep about the penalty - you want your striker especially one that has gone three games without a goal taking that. Great pen that it was from Mahrez it was a bit selfish to demand taking it when you have a designated taker.

Hasegawa and Angledahl have been excellent.

Evidently not but two or three times when she has drifted off she has taken defenders away and the pass to a free player has not been taken. Like midweek Taylor not trusting himself or his squad to make subs early enough. Shaw really blowing and we need energy to finish this game.

Hope we are not going to rue these missed chances. Also hope Taylor doesn't wait until the 86th minute to make changes, some are looking a bit leggy. Arsenal have made changes and look more likely now to grab an equaliser. Fowler and Raso on for some energy.
