If we can win this and go on a "run of results" the league leaders will come back to us in no time. I have a feeling that the points are gonna be shared more this season and we do have the squad to win it IF we can be consistent.
 
what if instead of playing every single player in their wrong position we played 4-3-3 like we've been doing for YEARS
 
Decent,lucky to be in front,but then also unlucky(or wasteful) not to have scored more.

Bernardo playing brilliantly,Ederson too,Aguero surprisingly lively,Mahrez better (still selfish),Foden busy in an unnatural role and Raheem doing ok too,Cancelo is a very clever footballer,we play better with him about.Rodri having a poor game but he has also made a couple of decent interceptions.The others very steady and composed,although Walker frightens the life out of me......he has a very basic football brain,thats being kind.

Rodri off and Dinho on.Give Delap the last 20 mins.
 
We're probably just edging it as the better side, but we are quite fortunate to still have our lead. We've got big problems defending our right side. Saka is repeatedly dancing past Cancelo and Walker. Neither knows what to do about him. A great save by Ederson denied them their equaliser.

Foden should have scored and Mahrez should at least have hit the target later on in the half. We're not creating chances freely, so we will certainly need to be clinical in the second half if we want to win.
You know what to do about saka hit him on the halfway line take the yellow,then hit him again different player he’ll go into hiding..unfortunately needs must at times ..
 
Some nice stuff but like all season we don't look in control and could concede at anytime.

Cancelo confuses me. Obviously a good player in there but he decision making is wank.
 
Acres of space for Arsenal on left side.
Cancelo very poor for us yet again
Mahrez poor too.
Mahrez has got to stop Tierney moving past him as it gives them 3 v 2 every time. It's as if defending is beneath him. Get him off and bring on Torres to drive Arsenal the other way.
 
It’s a tight game. We are never going to smash this arsenal team. Arteta knows Pep too well and has tactically been class so far
