Sloppy at times but pretty impressive considering no Kompany or Silva as well Sane and KDB only starting on the bench.

 

[SWP's back]

Everyone needs to remember we were a lot worse on the opening day last season. And that didn’t end up too badly in the end.

3 points is all that counts, rusty performance but it’s only the first game so it’s expected. We’re a great team aren’t we?

 

[vmsuhail]

Impressive

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Predictably rusty opening performance yet we won reasonably comfortably at the Emirates.

 

[Le Havre Oswald]

I'm sick n tired robbie. Every facking time.

Hardest game of the week top 6 wise
Some players first game after world cup or in eddies case since may so can understand rustiness
Played second gear at times
Comfortably won 2-0
Job done

great win and a hard away game out of the way

I don’t think it was necessarily down to rustiness. Pep said he was going to change the system to help us retain the title - now that Mendy’s back. Sacrificed Sané which meant we weren’t driving forward like last year. However, it seemed the intention was to improve the defence

great result but very sloppy performance all around the park.

We never really had control of the midfield but not suprising with KDB and David Silva not playing.....Ilky doesn't give us that and I thought he was poor along with Bernardo (until his goal).
Mendy - great going forward but needs work defensively
Ederson - on his mistakes alone Arsenal could have won it - needs to wake up! - we don't want to have bravo in goals
Sergio...performance wise was good but should have scored

walker immense and stones and Laporte were decent. Ferna as usually all over the place
